Combat Carl’s Win Streak Continues At Atlanta

If Jimmie hadn’t stolen it fair and square from Tony, we’d be talking about Ol’ Lucky’s first win of the season.

And those caissons keep rolling along…

How is it that the guy who was gonna retire 2 years ago is leading the NASCAR Nextel Cup points? He says “It’s the car.”

Mark Martin leads at Vegas

Whatever it is, it’s got “Combat Carl” Strickland at the top of the leaderboard this week. He’s the lone brave soul to put Mark Martin on his team this year. So far it’s paying off, as Carl is 15 points ahead of 2nd place. A 1-4-5 “in order” finish for his drivers netted Carl a smooth 65 points. Check out the full race results on NASCAR.com.
