IMPORTANT NOTE:

Milka Duno has to pass her ROP Test at Kansas today or she will not be able to race this weekend.

It was scheduled for yesterday, but travel problems prevented either her or the team from getting to the track.

If weather keeps her from doing it, or if she takes it and doesn't pass, I'll let you change any selections with her name in them.

Thanks!
