Thanks for the update uncle D. Ricky is a hardworking tough kid. It seems our prayers were answered.

On points:
Doing some fuzzy math, it appears that the #27 Rotondo Weirich team has about wrapped up the Silver Crown owner's points chase. They lead the #21 Six-R team by 57 points heading into Phoenix. The #199 Carl Edwards/ R.E. Technologies Racing team is 60 points back. The No. 21 and 199 teams will battle for 2nd in Phoenix only separated by 3 points. The #17 Rotondo Weirich team is 29 points out of 3rd.

The drivers points battle is closer with Dave Darland 20 points back of Jerry Coons Jr. for the championship. Brian Tyler is 57 points back. Shane Cottle is 32 points out of 3rd.

Coons, Darland and Tyler and their teams are all first class and deserve the honors they will recieve at the end of the year.

Congratualtions to everyone on a great season. Best wishes for a safe race and great points battle in Phoenix.
