But first, let's realize that this was a long, long process in getting the fans of Greg Gunderson to vote ever since March 28 when the voting began. The frenzy voting drive reached a crescendo by mid-July with vote-a-thons for Greg taking and scores of media stories on Greg that helped garner more voting points that propelled him from #21 to #4 in a matter of weeks in July. Greg's last official standing was at #4 since the last update on July 28. Now, since the voting ended on July 31, 2006 at 11:59PM, the results are finally in for Greg Gunderson.
Let's give Greg Gunderson a BIG, BIG, BIG congrats!! His final tally vote results have placed him 3rd!! Wow!!!!!!! Great effort everybody!!
Now, it is NOT over folks. Greg has a few more hurdles to jump. He will be tested for two days to see whether he has the NASCAR stuff. The 15 selected drivers out of 50 and the 5 selected wildcard drivers out of 15 will compete for the 12-person slot on the show.
