FC John Force (got to pick him after that victory speech)

I didn't get to see any of the final rounds - my cable went out just as the coverage of the semi-finals was ending.
What did John have to say?

I love how DSR Don Schumacher plays the victim & innocent,
then using his recent cancer survivor for sympathy, mentioned more then the quote
{albeit that part is really sad, I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy}
like he/Don hasn't done anything, to help to add the riff,
like steal {lure maybe a better term}many crew members
& multiple different crew-chiefs over the years, especially recently etc.

It's racing chit, is always slung, by all teams
& JFR is flinging chit, to see what sticks, he's no dummy...
Neither is DSR or Don, he knows exactly what JFR Johns statement meant,
what it eluded to...

Just a slight delay in posting the results due to Father's Day. My kids came over yesterday. Had a great day, but I didn't get a chance to finish watching the race until later in the evening.

Here are the results and point standings following completion of the Thunder Valley Nationals in Bristol, Tennessee.
I'm sure y'all have heard the story that even a blind squirrel finds an acorn once in awhile. That's what happened this race because 'ocdart' (FABO) got lucky. My picks won Funny Car and Pro Stock and went to the Top Fuel finals before losing because of a shredded blower belt. I managed to grab 146.5 points because I was helped by the E.T bonus points in Pro Stock and Speed bonus points in both Top Fuel and Pro Stock.
Congrats to 'memike' (FABO) for being the event runner-up with a nice total of 115.5 points with a class winner picks in Pro Stock. His Top Fuel pick went to the finals before losing and his Funny Car pick lost in the second round of eliminations. He also picked up E.T. bonus points in Pro Stock and Speed bonus points in Top Fuel and Pro Stock.
'Nick2317' was the top FBBO point getter with 84.5 points.

Here's where the bonus points were earned if you picked the right drivers:
