P Kuettel in the News

Hi All!

A little bit of genie owlowgy for today:

"A year ago, Carl Edwards skipped the Busch race in Nashville because of a rain out, ruining his chances to win a series title.

Edwards made up for it Saturday night with a dominating win in the Federated Auto Parts 300. He unofficially led 70 of the last 85 laps, and beat Clint Bowyer to the finish by .920 seconds. It was Edwards' second win in the last three Busch races....

Following Saturday's win, Edwards praised Hank Parker Jr., who practiced the car while Edwards tended to his Cup duties at Pocono.

"Hank did a great job," Edwards said. "That was the best car we had all year. We made some minor adjustments and it kept getting better and better. I told P.K. (crew chief Pierre Kuettel) to give Hank a kiss on the cheek and he said he already did." '

The Kuettels were a founding clan in Weggis am Viervaldstaetersee, Schweiss in the 1400s. The coat of arms is on the wall at the small village's Rathaus*

Another Kuettel is in the is bigtime in Europe. Rolf, is a Swiss national hero for his success in ski jumping. Although screwed up in the Olympic, he came right back to win several World Cup events.

We are all blood, albeit watered down, relatives. Guess I got put in a bad branch ;-)

Cheers!

*The Kuettels were a founding family off Weggis on Lake Lucerne, Switerland in the 1400s.
