So, which driver had the best Speedweeks? Several come to mind, but my vote goes to Steve Francis. In 12 races (between East Bay and Volusia), he made 11 A-Mains. Out of those 11 features, he scored eight top five finishes, three of which were wins. While a debate could be made for Dennis Erb or Billy Moyer, I think Francis proved more than anyone else. But I'm always up for a good discussion, so I'm interested in hearing what others think.

Nice to see Steve Francis finally get a monkey off his back last night at East Bay. His last turn, last lap pass of Austin Hubbard was eerily similar to the same move he made on Don O'Neal at East Bay back in '06. Driving for Larry Moring, Francis went top side in three and four on O'Neal to grab the win. My internet broadcast partner Michael "Spanky" Despain told the fans listening at home, "Francis drove that car off into turn three like he didn't have no family!"
