FURCAR: Food City 500 @ Bristol (results/points) by furcar

Due to a heavy work schedule and having only two hours of sleep, our intrepid reporter fell asleep at his keyboard, so there will be no full report for this week.

However, we are please to report that for the first time in FURCAR history, one of our drivers made the perfect selections for this week and attained the highest possible score! Congratulations, Cheesebeagle!

Qualifying was a bit of an adjustment for the FURCAR drivers, coming off the mile-and-a-half Vegas track into the tiny bullring which is Bristol. However, last week's polesitter, Slidewolf, seemed to figure out the tight turns and high banking to his advantage, winning the pole for the second week in a row.

Joining the long lineup of Season 1's rookies is newcomer Colimarm, who had an excellent starting position of seventh.

The race proceeded in a fashion typical of Bristol, with drivers vying for the same tiny spots of real estate. The wild movements of the field caused Bristol to become more of a mixing bowl as those who were first were cycled back and those who were last wove their way to the front. However, when the checkered flag flew, the one completely unscathed car belonged to the RaceToTheCheese team as Cheesebeagle swept across the finish line, having managed to lap the entire field by the time the day was done. Finishing second was Jo after showing the veterans yet again that just because he's a rookie doesn't mean he doesn't have mad skillz. Third place was another matter as Belic and Jackie Rae swept under the flagstand in a tie. Spectators later heard lots of growling and roaring coming from within the scoring trailer, but when the ursine and tanuki emerged a few minutes later, both were all smiles as they headed back to the garage to share a beer.

Press releases from Yoshi Motorsports predicted a turn-around from the team, and they certainly put their cars where their mouths are as Raz rounded out the top-5 and Beino finished in ninth. Oren Hart put on a good show, finishing in sixth, followed by Edscott in seventh. Duzzy garnered eighth, and Hog Juice Racing's Duroc Hog got his first top-10 for the season, much to his team's jubilation.

The season points experienced some shake-ups too as Jo's excellent finish moved him into first, followed by Jackie Rae in second. Cheesebeagle shot up fifteen spots in the standings to steal third, and Zeke's poor finish sent him down to fourth. Slidewolf, Beino, Belic, Edscott, Duzzy, Oren, Duroc, and Raz also were able to take advantage of great runs today and make huge leaps in the season standings.

The rookie standings also reflected Jo's skill at Bristol, moving him into first there. Zeke held onto second, and Eric third.

Next week, FURCAR heads back west to bask in the California sun! Pack up your trucks and your swimtrunks!

Best possible driver combination: 247 points - Kahne, Keselowski, Kyle Busch, Earnhardt Jr., Kurt Busch, Vickers
