NASCAR Camping World West Series

RINGERS GLOVES ROUNDUP
MINDY’S MONDAY MINUTE
I hope everyone had a very wonderful Thanksgiving holiday weekend! Mine was pretty laid-back. My mom drove over from Bethalto (Ill.) to Indianapolis and cooked my brother and me a delicious, as always, Thanksgiving dinner. Our plan was to wake up early and take in some door-buster deals on Black Friday, but we opted to sleep in and shop later in the day, which the deals were just as good, thankfully. I woke up yesterday morning to a dusting of snow on my backyard deck and decided it was time to crawl back into my warm and toasty bed and then back to the grind today.

BARKSHIRE COMPLETES SEASON WITH ROOKIE TITLE
NASCAR CAMPING WORLD SERIES, WEST
Jeff and the 46 team had high hopes they could achieve another top 5 finish on October 25th in the Camping World West Series’ final race in Roseville, California. It would have been their 8th top 5 finish of the 13 race season. They seemed headed for it when the bad luck hit. As Jeff explained, “We ran in the top 5 for most of the race and were in fourth, with a pretty good shot at gaining another couple spots, when I felt the right rear tire going down. Then we had a caution and elected to chance staying out as there was only 24 laps to go, but when the green flag dropped, the car had no bite and was trying to spin out so we got hammered from behind and put into the wall.” Following repairs, they were able to return to the track, but only to finish a disappointing l5th.
