See notes on graphics. With the season 1/3 complete, it's getting harder to make up ground on Top-35.

Added "The Race for Top-35" this week looking for trends among the competition for that T-35 Owner position. Going to watch this for a couple of weeks before making predictions about overtaking the competition. When you look at this chart and the "NEMCO #87 Owner Points Tracking", it does look doable.

NEMCO #87 performing surprisingly close to prediction, despite most weeks without sponsorship.

Big tip of the hat to folks like Huckleberry's Barbeque Sauce, Finncastle and Maui Showers for helping to fill the sponsorship gap when they can.

Still pondering how to assess both Sprint Cup and Nationwide Series as a total package for NEMCO #87. In the meantime, 'dega was pretty good to the team. Looked like a Top-10 finish, if not for all the Yellow Flags and restarts in the last dozen laps. Started 17th; finished 14th and on the lead lap. When the car doesn't break, Joe looks very good.

Hey, all. Going to change content a little over the next couple of weeks. It makes sense to assess #87 as a package in both the Sprint Cup and Nationwide Series. Gonna figure a way to do that and then start doing that over the next couple of weeks.

Missed making the show by 1/100th second. Not much to say, after that. 35 Owner gained a little, while we lost a little. Still, one data point is not a trend. Hoping for better at Phoenix.
Short week, this week: Nationwide Series Friday night; Sprint Cup Saturday night.

Not much to say this week. DNFs will not get Joe/#87 into Top-35.

Hmm. That sounds kind of harsh. What I meant to say is: #87 gets sponsors = #87 gets some spares (maybe even another car or two) = #87 gets to finish races ... probably with some very good finish positions. Potential sponsors: hooking up with Joe Nemechek is a very positive place for your brand. He is everything honorable about NASCAR and the sport of auto racing. And, your name will be seen and talked about.
