I don't know why but today I checked to see how former Pro Stock driver Tanner Gray is doing in NASCAR.
NASCAR.com shows that after his 3rd year of driving in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series for David Gilliland Racing, Tanner finished the 2021 season in 18th place out of 92 drivers. He finished with 323 points for the 2021 season, 3711 points behind Truck Series champion Ben Rhodes. Tanner had 0 wins, 1 top 5 finish, 2 top 10 finishes, 6 DNFs, and led a total of 9 laps over the 2021 season.

Go Scrappers!
 
Congratulations to 'Budnicks' (FBBO) and 'ocdart' (FABO) for sharing the 'Top Qualifier' title for the NHRA Finals with outstanding totals of 30.5 bonus points each. They each picked the #1 qualifier in Pro Stock and the #2 qualifiers in Top Fuel, Funny Car and Pro Stock Motorcycle.
The runner-up qualifier spot is shared by 'alsant' (FBBO), 'duster79' (FABO), shittyslant6' (FABO) and 'stroked340' (FABO), all with 28.0 bonus points.
Great picks all!

We have 14 players this week and 12 different driver combos made up of:
* 4 different Top Fuel drivers with no head-to-head matchup in the opening round of eliminations. There is a possibility of a head-to-head matchup in the 2nd round of eliminations if both drivers survive the Round 1.
* 5 different Funny Car drivers with one head-to-head matchup in the opening round of eliminations between #8 qualifier J.R. Todd (1 pick) and #9 qualifier Bob Tasca III (1 pick). There is also a possibility of a head-to-head matchup in the 2nd round of eliminations if both drivers survive Round 1.
* 4 different Pro Stock drivers with no head-to-head matchups in the opening round of eliminations. The earliest possibility of a head-to-head matchup is in the semi-final round if the drivers survive until then.
* 5 different Pro Stock Motorcycle drivers with no head-to head matchups in the opening round of eliminations. There is a possibility of two head-to-head matchups in the 2nd round of eliminations if all drivers survive Round 1.

Good luck all!

Sure do!
In fact I'm just now heading out for one of our Toy Drive events at Motech Performance in Murietta.
What kind of info on the Toy Drive can I provide for you?

For all reading this post that don't know about our annual club Toy Drive, Inland Mopars does an annual Toy Drive for the soldiers kids at Fort Irwin. Fort Irwin is our military's National Training Center in the Mohave Desert, 35 miles outside of Barstow, CA. Last year we delivered two 24' enclosed car trailers filled with toys and bicycles to the kids.
Please let me know if anyone would like any info on how to contribute.
Thanks!

A trip to SD coming up for Thanksgiving. Could be a nice time to drop off something or perhaps a donation of the monetary variety.
 
Congratulations to stroked340 for his Championship. My 3 peat fell way short this year. I couldn't pick my nose. Can't wait till next year.
