to school, but if you're like me, you didn't really care for those quick quizes a teacher might lay on you from out of the blue. What? I don't have a chance to study?
Now maybe a couple of you were so prepared at all times that you relished those times as a chance to show off... (Kristen... Kelly... Tez... Jon... J.D.... Rob... JMayer... Gene??? LOL) Brent you're still going through all this, so enjoy!
Anyway, Class, here's your quick quiz for Thursday. Do the best you can!
1. What does the following driver list mean to you (in no particular order)?
Paul Menard, Mark Martin, David Gilliland, Kurt Busch, Carl Edwards, Bobby Labonte, Ryan Newman, Tony Stewart, Kyle Busch, A.J. Allmendinger, Jeff Gordon and Juan Pablo Montoya?
Okay…
2. What does this list mean to you (in no particular order)?
Jeff Burton, Bobby Labonte, Michael Waltrip, Joe Nemechek, Dale Earnhardt Jr., Matt Kenseth, Jimmie Johnson, Kyle Busch, Mark Martin, Carl Edwards, Jeff Gordon and Tony Stewart?
Finally,
3. What do these numbers mean to you?
(this is a tough one even NASCAR aficionados probably won’t get)

Your answers are forthcoming. Good Luck!
I guess today's a school holiday???
ReplyDeleteIs anybody out there? Too tough?
ReplyDeleteI'll give it an hour then throw in a clue or two...
Dwindy... you are NOT the teacher of the year! LOL
ReplyDeleteI think #3 are Jr's stats, Pre-HMS, and since he went to HMS.
#1 Drivers born west of the Mississippi? Even JPM?
ReplyDelete#2 They have all won NW and Cup races.
Gene, let me hand out a hint on those driver lists...
ReplyDeleteThey're both relevant to what's going on in NASCAR at the moment...
I'll check back a little later.
They are all related to NASCAR.
ReplyDeleteLOL Photogr! You're definitely correct... Let me get out the booby prize!
ReplyDeleteOkay, here we go... Gene in all his wisdom got number 3 right!
Here's the answers to the others:
No. 1 – The top 12 drivers in the Race for the Chase after 2 Cup races this season!
In order – Kyle Busch – 80 pts., Kurt Busch – 70, Tony Stewart – 69, A.J. Allmendinger – 69, Jeff Gordon – 65, Mark Martin – 65, Juan Pablo Montoya – 64, Bobby Labonte – 64, Ryan Newman – 64, David Gilliland – 63, Paul Menard – 63 and Carl Edwards tied with Jimmie Johnson at 59 points. (Yesterday’s list didn’t show the tie between Carl and JJ… but today’s does. Wonder what changed? A conspiracy? LOL)
No. 2 – The 12 winningest active drivers on the Las Vegas Motor Speedway track since it opened in 1989!
Besides Wins the list uses Top 5’s, Top 10’s, Top 20’s, Average Finish, Average Start, Poles, Laps Led, Laps Completed, DNF’s and Winnings to generate the following ranking:
1. Jimmie Johnson – 4 wins in 9 races, 2. Jeff Burton – 2 in 13, 3. Matt Kenseth – 2 in 11, 4. Mark Martin – 1 in 13, 5. Jeff Gordon – 1 in 13, 6. Kyle Busch – 1 in 7, 7. Carl Edwards – 1 in 6, 8. Bobby Labonte - 0 in 13, 9. Tony Stewart – 0 in 12, 10. Joe Nemechek – 0 in 12, 11. Dale Earnhardt Jr. – 0 in 11, and 12. Michael Waltrip – 0 in 11.
I've got to say I'd hate to try and figure any of those questions out. Thanks for taking a stab Gene! You did good! Earned a GOLD STAR!
Dang it Dwindy!! You have to give us more time to respond...I saw this earlier but was so swamped at work I had to ponder for later. I knew Jr's stats but had to think on the others...
ReplyDeletePatience man patience!! LOL
Like one buzzard said to the other... Patience my fanny (I'm being nice), I'm gonna kill something! LOL
ReplyDeleteWere your answers close?
Oh man, showed up too late. Ah well, would've only gotten the first one right anyway. More to come?
ReplyDeleteOkay jmayer... I've been following Jayne's excellent work on your blog and from that I gathered your name is Jacob. Is that right?
ReplyDeleteI guess I jumped the gun on answering these. I've been duly chastised...
Yeah... Maybe I'll throw another out here down the road.
Sorry everybody...
LOL Dwindy - you ole Buzzard you! I would have probably gotten the top 12 eventually but never the Vegas finishers...
