Is there some reason the list has to be all caps ?

[Jonesi]

Is there some reason the list has to be all caps ?

Yes sort of. It's a cut and paste from my Excel spreadsheet file. (Since I print out on an old inkjet printer in fonts 10 or smaller, the caps are needed.;-) If one of the symbols above ^ will change caps I'd do it, but I'm not willing to completely retype.

[muggle not]

McMurray is having a pretty darn good season so far. Not much being said about him though.

[Lee Roy]

Tough week again for the Red Bull team.

I'll be glad when Dale Jarrett uses up his Champion's Provisionals.

Dave Blaney in 11th shows that it isn't because a Toyota won't run.

I had hopes for Casey Mears this year in the #25, but it looks like he will be a disappointment this year. Will this year be his last?
