The Louse

It was a race dominated by Carl Edwards and Ol’ 5-time, but Matt Kenseth takes the win and gives Mike’s Bastards the $10 skin and win over Yooper Drive.  Rowdy Busch starts at the back, but finishes 4th and propels T-Bone to extinguish the Pecos Flames.

• Mike’s Bastards def. Yooper Drive, 125-96
• Chandler Smoke def. Donnie Barqs, 115-107
• Buzz def. Shake and Bake, 103-100
• T-Bone def. Pecos Flames, 151-94
• GMNY Racing def. FenderBenders, 130-70

Skin: Matt Kenseth (Mike’s Bastards, $10)

Big matchup of the day: Buzz cooks up Shake and Bake, #2 vs. #3, and that drops S&B from 2nd to 5th in the power rankings.  Chandler Smoke rides Bobby Labonte again to another win, and FenderBenders suffers yet another JPM meltdown.
