After a week off all the bastages n the biddy were rarin to go. So off they went to Alabama to test their restirctor plates. Spark laid down the fastest practice lap, but got blown outta the water in qualifyin by Hot Rod.
Amazingly enough, there were no "5 lap rule restarts" and very few crashes. Krusty jumped out to take the early lead followed by Hot Rod and Sparky. Pert hung in there in the #4 spot and Roadhog, who showed up at his usual 3 minutes before q-time, was just tryin to stay off the walls and outta the grass.
Spark made the move on Rod, then passed Krusty for the lead. Rod got around Krusty for 2nd and went to work on Spark. AFter takin the lead away, Rod went for the pits. Spark n Krusty stayed out for another lap. Spark got turned sideways in the pits and Krusty slammed by him. Rod took the lead back and round n round they went.
Hoggy spun makin his 2nd pit, bringin out the yellow flag. Krusty n Sparky, who both stayed out an extra lap again, had no choice but to make a stop on a closed pit, both earning a back of the line black flag. A couple laps later Krusty faked goin into the pit, which woulda worked out ok if it hadn't been for the lag monster. He started flashin in front of, behind, and through Spark's car as he was tryin to pit, slowin him down so he wouldn't get another flag. Unfortunately, he got too slow and Rod's auto pit driver creamed him outta his pit box.
While tryin to go around again, Spark got lotsa mixed messages from his crew chief, telling him to get behind Hoggy and then tellin him he was in front of the car he should be following, then tellin him to get behind Hoggy, etc. He decided to try to pit again since no one was following him
and got a bogus flag for lappin the field under yellow, puttin him a lap down and earnin a stop/go at the same time. Spark was pretty much done for the day.
Meanwhile, Pert took over the point, Krusty got flagged, probably had somethin to do with the lag monster mentioned earlier, and had to make a stop/go as well, and Rod held onto 2nd. Hoggy was gloatin because he wasn't in last place anymore now that Spark got 2 1/2 laps down.
Pert, Rod, and Krusty traded the lead over the next 20 laps. Spark got by Hog for 4th, but went back to 5th when he had to get a beer n a smoke. Everyone was makin their last pit in order to make the final run towards the checkers, but Hoggy spun again goin onto pit road bringin out the yellows with 2 to go.
How many races has the pace car won so far? Almost as many as Krusty I think!
Results:
1st - Hot Rod
2nd - Pert
3rd - Krusty
4th - Sparky
5th - Hoggy
A whopping 9 points separates 1st and 3rd places in the points standings.
Krusty needs 1 more beer to take the Case. Spark needs 2 and Rod needs 3 Ziggys. Hog finally got another Jager, but needs 8 more to get a Case. Can he do it?
C'mon Hoggy! I got a 5er on ya!
Oh, by the way, happy b-day ya fargain geezer!
