NASCAR SYMT Michigan Results

Next up to host is YeeMum..with the Faces of Fallen Heros grid. Thanks to Klvalus for hosting a great race on Sam Hornish Jr and with her pole driver saving gas gave her the win as well. Congrads to Klvalus on the win.

This was the worst week for drivers getting under 100 point mark with 5. It is going down to the last races on this season championship.

This weeks grid and paint schemes is following the idea of Bristol after reading HotfootLori's blog about it and with everyone having a Face of Fallen Hero. I did try to match as many of you with a hero from your state you live in but it started to take too long. It took over 6 hours as it was and I wish I had thought of it sooner.

I will check on Le/crab and see if he is doing his blog on Fox or if he is still around. We will still have one more race after YeeMum to settle it.

  5. Congrats to KLV on her big win this weekend!!

    Jamie, what a tribute to the Heroes of our Country. Thanks for all your time and effort, not only this week, but for the whole year.
    Makes me glad that I came back to blogging, and hooked up with the best bunch of people on the big bad internet.

    I will also try to look up my hero Sgt Grieco and post a link.

    It would be great if all the drivers could follow Lori and KLV's lead and post info on their fallen hero. I would love to learn more about all of them.

  15. Wonderful idea, Jamie.

    I'm dedicating a win to my co-pilot, Cpl. Ryan C. McGhee of Fredericksburg, VA. KIA on May 13, 2009. Poor kid was only 21.

    Check out the link to his guest book. After reading a few of the 21 pages of memories, I was too choked up to write anything but I'll always appreciate his, and his fallen comrades, sacrifice to our country.
