Brian asked on Facebook when the last time each of the three LNR races was won from the Paychex Pole. It's happened before, and this weekend was the third.

It had not been accomplished in nearly two years. How's that for rare?

I expected it to have happened more than that, to be honest. Wow!

Thanks Doble!

As I started putting the pole winners into my list of race winners so that I could compare the two (thank you Excel formulas for making life incredibly easy on this one), but I actually wondered if it had ever happened. When it didn't happen in '09, I was like, hmm. Then I got to '07 or '06 and was like, as dominant as Huey, Pharis, and I were in that day I would have been surprised if we hadn't done it at least once.

Huey??? Dominant?? Doubtful!!!

The only edge I had at all on you guys when I first came to LNR was the fact that when we raced on a track, I had just ran a race there the previous week in BRL.

Still, you flew through the Wins List to challenge me at #2 almost quicker than anyone else. Previous races or not, for '06 and '07 you pretty much had to go through one of the three of us to find victory lane on any given weekend.
