| | | | 3/17/06 - 2:20pm Nicorette 300 Practice |
| Coming up this week, the Nextel Cup, Busch, | | | | |
| and Craftsman Truck teams head to the steamy | | | | 3/18/06 - 12:10pm Nicorette 300 Qualifying |
| south for an action packed weekend at Atlanta | | | | |
| Motor Speedway. | | | | 3/18/06 - 3:30pm Nicorette 300 |
| | | | |
| Expect another strong showing from the Roush | | | | Craftsman Truck Series |
| drivers as they tend to dominate the 1 1/2 to | | | | |
| 2 mile tracks. Of the current drivers, Carl | | | | 3/17/06 - 11:00pm NCTS Race 200 Practice |
| Edwards has had the most success. In 3 starts | | | | |
| at Atlanta, he has had 2 wins! | | | | 3/17/06 - 5:00 pm NCTS Race 200 Qualifying |
| | | | |
| It will be interesting to see if Carl can | | | | 3/18/06 - 9:15pm NCTS Race 200 |
| recapture the glory he found in Atlanta | | | | |
| during his rookie season, and blister the | | | | Whos Hot |
| field in the Golden Corral 500. | | | | |
| | | | Once again, Jimmie Johnson has earned himself |
| Other drivers to note: | | | | a spot in this weeks Whos Hot section. |
| | | | Johnsons season thus far has gone like this: |
| Kasey Kahne | | | | |
| | | | Daytona 500 - win |
| Jimmie Johnson | | | | |
| | | | Auto Club 500 - 2nd |
| Greg Biffle | | | | |
| | | | UAW-DaimlerChrysler 400 - win |
| Dale Earnhardt Jr. | | | | |
| | | | Factor in that Jimmie is driving without the |
| Next Weeks Schedule: | | | | aid of his crew chief Chad Knuas, and you are |
| | | | only left to ponder...are you kidding me? |
| (all times EST) | | | | |
| | | | There has been some speculation that team |
| Nextel Cup | | | | owner Rick Hendrick is growing tired of Knaus |
| | | | cheating addictions. Jimmies recent string of |
| 3/17/06 - 3:30pm Golden Corral 500 Practice | | | | races might help Rick make a decision to do |
| | | | away with Chad at the end of the season. |
| 3/17/06 - 7:10pm Georgia Power Qual. | | | | |
| | | | Year in and year out, Johnson is a contender |
| 3/18/06 - 10:35am Happy Hour Practice | | | | for the championship. Starting this year off |
| | | | with 2 wins and a 2nd place finish means |
| 3/19/06 - 1:30pm Golden Corral 500 | | | | he'll be in the hunt for the 2006 |
| | | | championship. |
