Black 43

I thnk Richard oughtta leave the car black. That's the most I have seen out of the 43 in 10 years. Didn't need any attrition to finish 11th. He had more TV time for sure than any time in the last 10 years only thing that comes close in TV time is when Aric wrecked a few years ago.

It was good to see Bubba mix it up with some of the usual front runners. In the end he was able to pass several cars he's usually no where close to staying with or passing.

Good show lets see if that carries over to homestaed.

Well looky here a 13th place finish with very little attrition for help. Stayed on the lead lap the whole race and passed quite a few cars after pit stops. Good show sure don't know what hass ocurred in the last couple weeks but what ever it is it's working. A good 2 tire call at Martinsville sure helped him stay in the ront half of the cars for a lot of the race. Boyer dang near made a mess of it on one of the restarts but they all slid by.

Can Bubba make it three god runs in a row, maybe at last they have found a couple mph. Talladega is a tough fast track but if Bubba can find enough speed to stay with the front pack and have just a little juice at the end you never know. Talladega the last few laps are the toughest usually there ar 5 to 10 cars still nose to tail, it's just a matter of who has just enough to pass on those last couple laps. It'll be interesting to see if lighning can strike 3 weeks in a row.

Over all they have been running much better this year. They didn't always end up with the finish they wanted but they were running better, now they are getting the finishs they need. Also the pit stops are getting much better not like the last few years when they would always drop back after the stop, they are sometimes picking up spots now. The other thing that has been a big change is they seem to keep up with track changes much better, in the past they may start out well but would fall back as the race track changed. Hope this all continues the rest of the year, maybe they can get more dollars and can keep Bubba next year.
