Monster Sale NOW ON!!!!!

Right ladies and gentlemen, it is time to shake things up a bit here. I'm giving you all the chance for a fresh start in the form of a sale!

I have slashed prices across a range of drivers prior to the race in Texas. Dixon's price is up and well done if you have him, but the mid range choices have just become much wider and considerably more enticing.

I expect a lot of transfer requests prior to the closure of the window on Friday at 5pm EST or 10pm BST.

Don't forget the race is on Saturday night.

Standings after the Milwaukee 225

A cracking race at Milwaukee and a terrific performance by America's public enemy number one, Ryan Briscoe. I would imagine he got a lot of staisfaction out of his performance on Sunday, his qualifiying run was poor but his race strategy and speed were first class.

Marco Andretti and pretty much all of the Andretti Green Team will head to Texas scratching their heads. Their comparative lack of performance compared to the TCGR and Penske teams will be a worry heading into Texas.

But to matters at hand, Tim Gray did himself the world of good in the standings moving into sixth place with a tremendous 270 point haul on Sunday (Scott Dixon, Ryan Briscoe, Danica Patrick, Townsend Bell) and his two week total is 680!!

At the top, Doug Werner's lead has been reduced to a measly ten points. I see wholesale changes in the coming weeks because, as the all-powerful Commish, I have decided to shake things up with a mid summer driver sale.

The updated driver values will be posted later and they should stimulate a lot of activity.
