The Findings Of California '05

By: Ashley McCubbin

So tonight I focued upon pit road.

Busch Series Pit Road Expectations

Cup Team are different. There's are:

Each series has it's own record also.

Busch is held by Martin Truex Jr's pit crew (Team Untouchable) at 13.5 set in 2004.

Cup is held by Michael Waltrip's pit crew (Napa Crew) at 11.73 set in 2004.

I split up the pit crews that pit both races and those who only pit the Busch cars and here's your top 5 for both.

CUP TEAMS

1) Kasey Kahne 14.6

2) Elliott Sadler (Candy Rockers) 14.7

3) Jimmie Johnson 15.4

4) Kasey Kahne 15.9

BUSCH TEAMS

1) Team Untouchable & Carl Edwards 15.3

3) Clint Bowyer 15.3

4) Reed Sorenson 16

5) David Stremme 16.3

So what shall we call teams who pit both? Pit wackers?

Kudos to teams on donating winnings. Two I heard are winner Carl and NBC commentator Wally Dallenbach. Plus Benny Parsons will duplicate what Wally wins. To all who are doing this, great job! And to all affected, my thoughts and prayers go out to you.

Lately Rouch Racing has been dominating California (Cali). Jack Rouch (the cat in the hat) may as well own the California House to himself. Carl won there last year in Busch well Greg Bifle took the spring cup race. Plus Elliott is the defending racer winner and that's Rouch/Robert Yates Racing(RYR) motors. Hmmm, wonder if I could win in a Rouch car.

Kudos tonight to the Busch regulars on good running. Out of the top 10, 3 are wackers. So guess they're proving the points stated. Luv ya'll
