Ryan starting P22 Never looked like he was more than a 15th to 20th place looking car in Practice. Lets see what he can do in the race. Will this be the 1st race of the year he avoids bad luck?

lap 1 p21 lap 2 p19 early on looks like the high line is the better line Ryan tried to go under the 3 & momentum kept the 3 ahead of ryan 15.6 track bar lap 10 p19 follow the leader type racing for now 8.5 behind ryan looks faster than the 3 just cant pass when they leave the line lap 12 p18 got by the 3 lap 13 p17 got by the 13 lap 15 10.5 behind lap 15 p16 got by the 27. Now went by all the RCR cars in succession little bit loose off with the track bar up this high - ryan lap 19 p15 got by the 14 lap 20 11.3 behind lap 22 p14 got by the 41 lap 25 11.5 behind

lap 26 got by the 20 on the high side (all passing before this was on inside) p13 yellow lap 27 dang it Ryan was one of the better cars, I didn't need a yellow Ryan gonna do 4 tires & take a piece of tape off of it. 1/2 round out of left rear 12.5 stop lost one spot (to the 20) p14 going green on lap 32 lap 32 p13 lap 34 single file now lap 35 3.0 behind 41 pressuring lap 40 5.3 behind ryan - temps are high lap 43 ryan seems to do better as the tires get older.

lap 55 7.7 behind lap 55 p11 got by the 78 Lap 60 8.2 behind lap 65 7.4 behind ryan catches the 77 on lap 66, now can he get by to get bonus points lap 69 p10 gets by the 77 can ryan get to the 88 before lap 75? ryan diamonding the corners luke says he is a 1/10th faster than the field. harvick is the only one close to him in speed ryan got p9 before the yellow for the segment by passing the 88 on lap 75

of course my race view is screwing up right now so hard to tell what is happening so don't know how well the stop went looks like ryan came back out in p13, so this will be the 1st time he restarts on inside. Expecting him to lose some spots on restart Lap 83 went green lap 86 ryan is p11 lap 90 ryan is p12 ryan says struggling with the air right here lap 93 p13 Lap 105 10.8 behind lap 111 11.6 behind lap 115 12.1 behind but pressuring the 77 again, so his car is coming back to him lap 117 p12 got by the 77, shortly after the 83 gets in wall causing a yellow ryan pitting from p12 comes out p16, ryan tells them we are going the wrong way boys 14.0 stop 22 & 15 got a penalty has to go to the back which sucks for ryan that puts him in the inside grrrr.... lap 122 will be green back to p16 (20 goes by) ryan gets outside of the 3 lap 125 p15 gets by the 3 4.9 behind

lap 128 p14 got by the 20 using outside 16.2 on track bar lap 141 p13 got by the 14 Lap 142 11.1 behind lap 145 11.3 back Luke - yeah I don't think we will make it (to top ten before stage ends) but he is fast as $h!t lap 148 p12 gets by the 88 11.8 back sucks Ryan has to make up for the bad pitstop or he would be in top ten this segment as well Lap 150 p12 planning on 4 tires fill with fuel another 1/2 out of left rear

lap 302 .9 behind 6th lap 304 .8 lap 306 .7 yellow lap 306 22 blew a tire dang it ryan had a sure top 7 ryan stayed out gives him p1 31, 17, 78 all stayed out then cars with 2 tires. *Schmoop getting nervous* LOL if 4 cars stayed out I would think Ryan might have a chance, but with only 3 the 42 will start 2nd row outside with 2 fresh tires. looking good for the 42 GWC coming up 17 got the 42 ryan gets away!!!! ryan wins!!!! WooHooo!!!!!!!! I took Ryan off my team last minute, looks like I took the Schmoopy Curse off of him as well!!!!
