One and Done NASCAR Fantasy Racing News: Shelby 427

February 26, 2009

don’t tell me you watched the academy awards?

Race two is a wrap. The California race was long. And wet. And a good reason to use the remote. Eleven left in the One and Done Spring Thing - the first of three games in the 2009 One and Done season. We’ll finish this one at the race in Dover. Then, you win stuff and cinch those belts back up and do it again for thirteen more races. You get more prizes and then play the grand finale - the Chase for the One and Done Cup.

So tell your friends to sign up. After all, you’re a veteran at this now.

race 3: the shelby 427

Welcome to the home of the Rat Pack,bad Robert De niro movies and the Busch brothers of NASCAR.

Four players picked Auto Club 500 winner Matt Kenseth last week and those guys are all near the top of the points. Good job - you lucky dogs. Who ‘ya gonna take this week, when Matty might just set a record for winning the first three One and Done races in history.? He might set a NASCAR record too.

You can view all the results for One and Done week two here.

next week: hot’lanta

Lets talk prizes.

You all should know that the winner of the One and Done Spring Thing will receive a Dale Jarrett Racing Adventure package, good at several NASCAR tracks, including Talladega Superspeedway. You can read the experience of one of our past winners at that track right here.

The top ten finishers will win prizes in each game. I will have the details on those other prizes finalized this week. I think you’ll be happy with the possibilities. Stay tuned.

We’re also considering having a weekly prize, so that new players or players who miss making a pick for whatever reason, will still have a chance to win something. If we do the weekly award, it will be determined via the random drawing method.

Every week we’ll ask a few folks from around the NASCAR internet community to share who they think would be a good pick for the next race.

Dustin Long NASCAR beat writer for the Landmark Newspapers likes the Biff. ” Got a feeling for Greg Biffle as the winner. Roush makes it 3 in a row. Also, keep an eye on the #48. Let’s see how the #88 responds also.”

Veteran ARCA RE/MAX Series driver Brad Smith thinks it’s cousin Carl this time…”I just think the #99 is due. He’s been good and I just have a feeling that this is his week.”

Fast and Fabulous Valli is in the #24’s corner…”I think Jeff Gordon will take the win at LVMS because after coming close to the win in California, he was passionate, excited and pumped up about his team’s potential. I think a win for him is just around the corner.”

Backstretch Motorsports’ Bram is a history buff…” This week at Vegas will Matt Kenseth get #3?…if he does he’ll be defying an awful lot of odds stacked against him in the history books. But it’s time for another new record to be written and this team has been on fire, so I say Kenseth gets his name in the record books and leaves Vegas with the jackpot.”

Thunder Lounge king Luke remembers last year… “Ah Vegas. A city that seemingly has everything. While it doesn’t have Shakespeare’s this year it has another Columbia favorite on loan. Carl Edwards. When the tough get going Sunday, he’ll be out to prove that his oil lid is locked down tight.”

ARCA Veteran Brad Smith Guests ON PIT ROW Tuesday

October 19, 2008

After 21 years of Racing in the ARCA RE/MAX Series, Brad Smith has a unique perspective on big time auto racing.

Joining The Pit Crew live from the Toledo Speedway Bar and Grille will be the long time independent car owner and driver. Smith got his start in ARCA in 1988 and has seen the many changes that have been made to the series over the years.

Brad will join in on the discussion starting in the second hour of ON PIT ROW, beginning at 6pm ET. ON PIT ROW can be heard via live stream at www.onpitrow.com or at www.arcaracing.com if you do not have a local radio station carrying the show in your area.

While much of the focus of the end of the 2008 season revolved around the tight points battle and subsequent interaction between Scott Speed, Ricky Stenhouse Jr., Justin Allgaier and Frank Kimmell; Smith will be able to give his perspective on his battles in the points and what inspires him to return to this form of racing year after year.

In the years that Brad has run in the RE/MAX Series, his best finishes have been twelfths at Salem, Winchester and Pocono. 2001 saw Smith finish a career high, thirteenth in drivers points. Listen in to hear what motivates this Engineer and Business major to follow his love for automobile racing on the ARCA RE/MAX circuit.

Last weeks 90 minute INSIDE ARCA show was the last one for the 2008 race season. INSIDE ARCA will now be part of ON PIT ROW throughout the off season, with the 90 minute version returning before Speedweeks in 2009. Tune in to ON PIT ROW to get all your ARCA post season info.
