Just looked at the entry list for the Las Vegas NNS race for Saturday. Bad news for the field. Both Stewart and baby Busch are in JGR cars.
-
Seems those Toyos have found some extra horses. At least one team of them is getting their act together. Doesn't look like they're sharing much with Mike Waltrip though..............Buck 8) ::)

Word was Gibbs’ personnel set up the front ends of the three MWR cars at Daytona. But do they have the time to nurse-maid Mikey everywhere?
I’m hearing the power is from in-house motors at Gibbs while the rest use crate motors from TRD.
-
where's the beer?....You got me looking in here at least you could slide me a cold one ;D
-
They Dynod The Toyo engines and they are producing 10 more HP than the other brands. It's all about cylinder heads and valves. That's why Ford is always at a disadvantage. Until the Toyos came along, Chevy had the best cylinder heads and valves.
-
Dunno cause I ain’t never laid hand nor eye on either but I’ve read the Toyota is almost a carbon copy of the Dodge engine from the top down.
Ford heads, for some stupid reason, have always had tiny ports. Not enough meat to open ‘em up. They build two good sets in the Boss ‘n Cleveland – then discontinue the things.
Rooster, I thought you were bringin’ the beer.
-
no I got the steaks....

I don't know nuthin about NASCAR but the Toyota V8 is the most powerful gas truck engine on the market.
Dodge 5.7L HEMI - 345hp with 375fp torq.
Chevy 6.0L Vortec MAX = 367hp with 375fp torq.
Ford 5.4L Triton = 300hp with 365fp torq, the V10 Triton only makes 362hp but does make 457fp torque
Toyota 5.7L IForce = 381hp with 401fp torq.
-
Apples ‘n oranges cousin. Ain’t neither of ‘em racin’ has ever seen the street. They racin’ motors from the werd go. Kinda like a 190 HP in a 3100 pound truck with a real stiff suspension myself.
The Ford is based on a 351. Heads cast off a set of hand built ones by Robert Yates. That’s what cousin Carl was runnin’ Monday. Yates know how ‘n Jack’s money.
The Chevrolet is engineer designed from the ’55 265.
Chrysler’s thing never was, Toyota’s either. Built from scratch.
Ya bring the charcoal, Rooster? I’ll go get the Bud Light. Long necks.

Oh, Mabel! Black Mabel!!

Arcey, I got a 24 pack in my other fridge. You are right about those Ford heads. Dad was a Ford man all the way, he was service manager at our Ford dealer from 53 to 57. He still liked Flatheads. He built me a 53 Merc engine that I put an old 52 Ford 2 door Wagon. It was a sleeper. It had Eldebrock heads and a Eldebrock 2 carb intake.
-
When the old man passed I had to clean out everything so I could sell the house. Found a cardboard box in the rafters in that little shack he called a garage. Had a pair of Offenhauser heads and an intake for two singles for a flathead. He sold the modified, 97, when I was born, don’t know why he kept ‘em.
Then again, I gottah pair of finned aluminum Cobra valve covers, an Offenhauser four barrel intake ‘n a Mallory distributor for a 289 in a cardboard box in the attic. Took ‘em off my first convertible before I sold it. I’ve lugged ‘em to two apartments and three houses. Always thought I’d build me a hot rod ‘n I’d want ‘em.
-
;D don't ya just hate packing around them auto parts ;D got a stock 396/375 hp chevy engine out in the well house that I've been packing since 1988, keep thinking one of these days. got the 67 Chevelle it came out of, been packing it too.
when we moved over here to Arkansas, I sold off a 57 Chevy and a 72 Corvette, but packed the Chevelle with me. course I've owned the Chevelle since 1983,
another one of them projects ;D
-
Them cars is habit formin. Dad was a self taught mechanic. He built a wrecker and started a wrecking yard when he came back from WWII. I was born about a year or so later. In 53 he went to work for the Ford dealer at home. He stayed there till 57. He went to Omaha to Inland Radiator and learned how to repair radiators. He did that until 70, when he was elected Sheriff. We kept the Garage and Radiator shop until he passed away in 78. I inherited 2 57 Ford Rancheros, a 59 Ranchero, and a 63 Ford Country Sedan that has been in our family since Oct.of 62. Maybe someday I'll have enough time and money to restore two of the Rancheros and the 63 Ford.
-
I agree, the Fords have always had breathing problems with the Windsor heads. My favorite engine to tinker with was the 289, though. Had two Mustangs that I "masssaged" a little over the years. Nothing overly drastic, dual exhausts, dual point centrifical advance distributors( one original Ford, the other ACCEL), some rear end gears, 500CFM Holley racing two barrels with manual chokes( these were somewhat bigger than the standard factory four barrels of the time), some timing adjustments, and in one a B&M shift kit( dang thing would get rubber in first and shifting into second under the whip! ::) ;D)These mods would wake up the Windsor's some, let them breathe easier/deeper and still made them streetable and not too hard on gas as long as you behaved yourself ::) During that period I was raising the kids so had to keep things fairly economical.....................Buck 8) ;)
-
Fun times, Buck.
Boys, I wish I knew what to do with the Thunderbird. A fact is a fact. I ain’t gonna show it no more. The old man was a depression era kid who lost his daddy to pneumonia at age 11. Grew up poor. He paid cash, in full, for that car on November 13th, ’64. It meant a lot to him. Sometimes I think it best to have it crushed. Thought about sellin’ it to someone who’d enjoy it. Preserve the history. Just don’t know I want someone else ownin’ the thing.
-
Well Arcey, guess yer plannin a long and prosperous life fer this topic mentionin football and all. I imagine the racin an the beer will keep us entertained until the next coin toss ;D
I have always been a MOPAR guy. Chrysler designs have been immitated over and over again because of the extream engineerin that Lee was always willin to pay for from the motors to the body styles. I did spend a summer helpin an old boy hot rod a 65 twin I beam Ford step side--learned alot bout racin motors. It was a decked 429 an when we were done he took a picture of the dash out in the dessert with the speedo readin 100 and the tack at 6000. Not too shabby for a two bolt big block.
This guy was a Ford nut, the kind that's embarrasin to be with at a swap meet. He'd walk up an down the isles yellin how all the Chevy guys had takin over and ruint everthin. All that aside, I sure learned alot bout motors an racin from ol Geno.

A few of us like ta shoot the bull with beer, racin’ ‘n football. Thought we’d have a place ta go ‘n not bother the others with it this way. Werse it can do is die.

Be sure to an thanks for the invite.
Hope you don't mind some silver bullets in that cooler.
Forgot to mention, that 460/429 build was pullin a loaded U-Haul trailer when the ol guy took the pic. I 'magine the turbo 400 with the 411's in back didn't hurt none. ;)
Leo

Arcey, I feel that way about that 63 wagon. Dad and I rebult the motor when I was in college in 69. It was one of the show cars in 63. He special ordered it with a 3 speed and overdrive. We rebult the motor at 118,000 miles. We changed intakes and put a Carter AFB from a 430 Lincoln and a Poleese Interceptor cam in it. I got a big block chrome dress up kit for it and painted the engine black.

I read this yesterday over the Firearm forum, penned by Millwright, thought it would fit in here
Well $3.00/gal gas equates to .$.48/gal circa 1968 in a car getting around 12 mpg on high test. That makes $4.00/gal gas worth $.65 in 1968 dollars.
In 1968 a set of expensive tires only went around 20K miles, spark plugs maybe 3-5 K, oil/filters 3K, brakes 10K, premium shocks every 20K, you did a 'valve job' around 50K and 'overhauled' around 90-100K, and the list goes on......belts, hoses, wheel bearings, bulbs, and coolant flushes were a semi-annual event. With superior care a car would last around 150K miles.
In 2008 tires go 40K+, brakes 50K, oil/filters 5-7K, shocks/struts 50K, coolant flush 3-5 years, hoses at least 5 years, belts 3 years or more, you never do a 'valve job' or even an 'overhaul' unless you want to and a car will last over 200K miles with regular care. That car will yield 25-30 mpg and more horsepower on regular gas, corner at 50% higher "G", stop quicker and straighter, is quieter and more comfortable, and, above all, is safer to drive or in an accident.......
The "Good Ole' Days' of motor cars is right now........ >MW
-
I'll agree mostly, Litl R, but with a few exceptions, the new cars just don't LOOK as cool or have as much "character."
And the old cars didn't have computers that actually compensate for worn spark plugs and air pressure or density - which helps in the power and MPG department.
I sure wish I could still buy a '69 Hemi 'Cuda, 'tho!! Or a '62 Impala Super-Sport convertible with the HO 327 that had a dual intake manifold with 2 2-barrel carbs. Like I used to have.
Or ... :D

SHB, Dodge is coming out with an Redo on the Challenger this year, sorta along the lines of the newer Mustangs. GM is also showing a concept Camaro this year on the show circuit...........Buck 8) ::)

Interesting!
Since a Challenger is essentially a citified 'Cuda ...
-
Nascar is thinking about a Division for the Mustangs, and the Camaros if GM brings them back, and the Challenger for the Mopar. Arcey, it looks those JGR Toyos are the ones to beat today.

Kindah halfway wish NASCAR would scrap this thing ‘n just go with Cup ‘n trucks.

Well!
4 Eyed Buck, thanks to you I sought information on the new Challenger. I saw the one that they just auctioned for charity. Serial # 43, $40K base price - it brought over $220,000.
And I think they screwed the pooch. It got modernized (as it would have to) - but ugly. I am VERY disappointed. It looks too ... safe. And rounded. 'Specially right under the front grill. It's hard to describe. I could probably FORCE myself to be seen in one ;) but honestly, even IF I had that kind of money, I wouldn't get one. Your mileage may vary.
I didn't check out the "new" Camaro. I was afraid they'd have changed it too much, too.
(http://techepics.com/files/go_1.jpg)
Don't get me wrong, it ain't UGLY ---- it just ain't ... well ...

I love a Mopar product but there are a few models I'd jus as soon see them scrub. That PT Cruiser is an abomonation as well as that Magnum. While in KC I saw what happens in the match of PT vs. mailbox. The Mailbox won an traffic was held up for hours while they cleared the plastic off the street.
Woulld like to get behind the wheel of one of them Prowlers however...

Where I see the big difference, first glance at these retros, is the wheels ‘n tires. A much bigger wheel ‘n lower aspect ratio ‘n wider tire. They’re closer to the car’s corners too.
Me, myownself, don’t mind the tall wheels if they’re done tastefully ‘n the cars engineered for ‘em i.e. the Challenger. Nothin’ looks quite as dumb as some of the wheel ‘n tire combinations folks fit ta vehicles what weren’t. Makes ‘em look like clown cars at the circus.
The retros are smaller. Lighter. Lower center of gravity. Better balanced. An entirely different engine package. Aero shaped slicker. They’re built to turn. That, boys, is my game. A straight stretch is fun but they just connect the turns. Really get me a charge outtah off ‘n on ramps or rides out in the country where I can let my ride be herself. Enjoy the five speed rather than cuss the clutch when yer stuck in traffic.
Just an opinion, course, but that’s where the retros are gonna whip the originals. Thinkin’ that might be the difference in the look too.
-
I rented a new Charger last time I flew into AZ. Its a long ride from Pheonix to Sedona with some nice curves in the last stretch. Have ta say it was a nice ride--comfortable and high performance rolled into one. We had rented a convertable Mustang GT on the previous trip--looked good but not made for long rides if yer wife has a bad back. I'd give the Charger an 8 out of 10 on all around performance and milage.

I've always liked Mopar. My favorite "modern" Mopars are:

“Gentlemen, start your U.A.W. engines.” I guess the Toyota drivers can’t start theirs..

I liked the original Challengers, but my personal favorite was the Mustangs. Guess I just understood the Ford's better. The GTX Dodge for '67 was a real thumper, too.
Susie's mid life crisis has as much standard horse power as the standard 289's did then, but out of a 4 liter V-6( 205 ponies). It does corner/steer better than my old ones. Lesse' 61x4=244. That engine is a 244ci by the old standards, original Windsor V-8's started out at 223, went to 260, then 289, then 302. The last incarnation was the 351......Buck 8) ::) ;)
-
Great thread Arcey!!!
I can see this un goin on an on ;D
As far as the 351's go Cleavland beat the snot out a Windsor. 289 an 302 had a good run from the factory an both were great motors. The ATDC firing as opposed to the competion's BTDC really gave em some longevity.
Luv talkin cars ;D
Leo
-
I remember well the late 60's, my Chevelle thought straight was the only direction to go. made a world of passes down a quarter mile. ;D
I'm sure my little Toyota pickup would beat the old Chevelle on a road course, It corners great. but them quick runs sure were fun, stop light to stop light. it was just run what ya brung back then, a good foot on the clutch could overcome a lot of horsepower sometimes, didn't need no stinking air conditioner back then, took away too much power, ;D
when I was in College up at Stillwater, used to run whatever came along, remember along about 1970 or 71 the 440 6 pack came out, ran a lot of those and beat a lot them, too much power to get to the ground, tires were awful back then.
lots of memories ;D
-
The Cleveland heads beat the Windsor ones hands down. We got a couple of new 74 Torinos with the Cleveland engines and they ran good. In 75, we got 2 more, but they had 460s in them. Man were they a handful. That was the only year they offered the 460 in the Torino. In 76, we got 2 with the 351 Windsors, man they were dogs. They wouldn't run fast enough to catch a cold.
-
The Cleveland's had different heads and four-bolt mains compared to the Windsor's two bolts. They tried to marry them at one time as a performance mod, and then Ford came out with that 351M that wasn't too successful. Believe the lowered compresson rates foiled that one..............Buck 8) ::)
-
One thing about being an Old Cop is that you can remember when your Patrol cars ran on premium gasoline and had over 400 cubes under the hood.

OT
That ol hard rubber was the pits. Had to change the softies more often but worth it!!! It's jus gotta stick to the road to use the motor's potential as I'm sure you know. Nutin better than when it's 100 plus an the asphault's ready to fry an egg behind the wheel of a well powered vehicle ;D
TLD, Clev really had it right! Did the Crown Vic's have them?
Leo
-
That was Pre Crown Vic. time. Leo, I started as a Cop in 1970 with a 429 Ford, and I'm out there.
-
They were smart to go with the 429 and not the 460. Even with the 6 quart oil pan they was known to blow at high RPM. God luv a big block.
-
Geeeeezzzzz….. Taxin’ an old man’s mind.
Thinkin’ the Cleveland had a different block. Buck pointed out the four bolt main caps. The distributor went directly into the block. They didn’t have the PITA hunk of heater hose between the water pump and the intake either.
Bein’ a city cop most I had were the 318 Chrysler stuff that stayed in the garage almost as much as it stayed on the streets. The Malibus were fantastic.
The 20 is kilt.

I will have to say that the Mopar police cars that I have driven were the fastest, My only complaint with them was that the brakes didn't last long in a high speed chase. Did anybody notice the Pace car in Sunday's Nascar race? A Dodge Charger Police Cruiser Demo unit complete with Lightbar. That was COOL.
-
The Police/Pace car was kindah fun. But NASCAR wrote the ticket. A hunnert grand for Rousch ‘n company ‘n a six week suspension for Osborne. Docked a hunnert owner’s ‘n driver’s points.
I reckon when the say they want the oil reservoir access panel secured, they mean it. 99 will keep the win tho......

Just watched the Favre retirement announcement vid clip. Wasn’t easy. Sad.
I know Slim cares. That man has nothin’ left ta prove. He was, ‘n probably still is, as good as any quarterback what’s ever taken the field I do believe. I’m proud ta be able ta say I’ve seen ‘im play the game. An artist will be makin’ a bust ta put in Canton ‘fore long. A hard earned ‘n well deserved honor.
Have a very happy retirement, Brett Favre

Yep, Igot some good memories of watching him play the game, and he never tried to be the Prima Donna so many of the QB's become.

All I can say though it aint worth much--
If yer gonna go out, go out like Namouth an Montanna. Had a great career, enjoy the rest of life now. Make mercials for shavin razors with beautiful wimmin an spend life with one even better. Arther-Rightus won't hurt so much with all that goin on :D ;D
Luck to you Brett.

We all knew Brett was gonna retire one of these years. He is one of the best QB's that played.
Slim
-
I'm not convinced that he is really going to retire. I am going to save my judgment until after two a days start. On the penalty for Roush, that was not intentional. Hendrick would have gotten away it with no questions aksed. Nascar wants to kiss his butt and keep him happy. All the announcers on Speed and ESPN kiss JJ and Gordon's butts all the time. It's like they are the poster boys for NASCAR.

Just lookee there……….
Toyota 1 ‘n 2.
I know, I know. I drive ‘em. Kindah like a real American winner.
-
Arcey, Do you think that they have solved the problem with the right fronts on the Gibbs Toyos? Biffle used up his tires tryin to catch the 18. Stewart need a Top 5 finish.
-
Fer what it’s werth, I think they lucked out. JGR is doin’ somethin’ with the geometry that ain’t werkin’ out. It held today. Kept waitin’ ta see the 18 doin’ a wall ride.
Stewart whinin’ at the end of the race ‘n slammin’ Goodyear was laughable. He’s on the same tire everyone else was on. NASCAR orders the compounds. Goodyear doesn’t just bring ’em.
Really like ta see the crybaby go back ta open wheel. If the lardass could fit in one. He knows Busch is a better driver ‘n it’s hard on his over-inflated ego. But he won’t. Ain’t no money in Tony George’s glorified go-carts.
-
Indy ain't the same since Tony took over. We always got tickets at the parts store when we sold a certain amount of Pefect Circle rings or some other product used in the race. We went almost every year in the 60's. We drove up there from the Texas Panhandle and pulled a travel trailer up there to stay in. The roadsters with Offy engines were the classic racecars.
-
Never been. When I was a kid ‘n they banned the turbines, for me, Indy died.
-
The Museum at the track is great. Alot of former winning cars. and now a few Nascar since the Brickyard started. My Dad was an Offy fan and when they first brought the small block Ford to the track. I am glad that I inherited his gearhead genes. Unfortunatley, I don't have anyone to pass them on to.
-
It’s just me. Ain’t knockin’ anyone else’s opinion.
It was just the Indianapolis thing was supposed ta be the best someone could do with anything they could find. The stock cars have, since I can remember, been controlled. Makes for good racin’. Today excepted. That thing was Kyle Busch out on a nice ride in the country.
The only hi-perf, after market stuff the ole man would consider was Offy. Musta been some good stuff.

First thing I want to say is congratulations to Dale Jarrett on a damned respectable career. I’m honored to say I’ve seen both Dale and his daddy, Ned, drive. The best of luck to Dale in the booth.
That said – I hope he has a good run ‘n keeps the 44 in the top thirty five so Reutimann doesn’t get screwed when he takes it over.
Thinkin’ there’s gonna be some real big time frammin’ ‘n bammin’ at the back for the thirty fifth spot in owners’ points.
Reach up ‘n pull them belts tight one more time. I’m pickin’ cousin Carl.

That was probably the worst invocation I’ve ever heard.

I always rooted for Ned when he raced. He would have won the 63 Daytona 500 if he had not ran out of gas. I started watchin Dale in the Busch series. His victorys at Daytona were great, especially when Ned was callin the race. My grand mother's maiden was Jarrett and that part of the family along with the King side came from Virginia. Dale is atrue gentleman just like his Dad. He will be a welcomed addition to the broadcast booth.
-
you know when I think of the Stock Cars back in them days, I always think of Fireball Roberts, was it 63 or 64 he crashed, guess I'll have to google it and see.
course in them days they didn't have all the saftey features of todays cars. they've come a long ways.
-
here's what I found
Edward Glenn "Fireball" Roberts, Jr. (January 20, 1929 – July 2, 1964) was one of the pioneering race car drivers of NASCAR.
Roberts was born in Tavares, Florida, and raised in Apopka, Florida where he was interested in both auto racing and baseball. He was a pitcher for the Zellwood Mud Hens, an American Legion baseball team, where he earned the nickname "Fireball" because of his pitches, not his driving style, which is sometimes disputed. He enlisted with the Army Air Corps in 1945, but was discharged after basic training because of asthma.
Roberts' 1962 Daytona 500 winning carHe attended the University of Florida but raced on dirt tracks on weekends. In 1947, at the age of 18, he raced on the Daytona Beach Road Course at Daytona for the first time. He won a 150-mile race at Daytona Beach the following year.
Roberts continued to amass victories on the circuit, despite the changes in NASCAR as it moved away from shorter dirt tracks to superspeedways in the 1950s and 1960s. In his 206 career NASCAR Grand National races, he won 33 times and had 32 poles. He finished in the top five 45 percent of the time. He won the 1962 Daytona 500.
On May 24, 1964, at the World 600 in Charlotte, Roberts had qualified in the eleventh position and started in the middle of the pack. On lap 7, Ned Jarrett and Junior Johnson collided and spun out and Roberts crashed trying to avoid them. Roberts' Ford slammed backward into the inside retaining wall, flipped over and burst into flames. Witnesses at the track claimed they heard Roberts screaming, "Ned, help me!" from inside his car after the wreck. Jarrett rushed to save Roberts as his car was engulfed by the flames. Roberts suffered second- and third-degree burns over 80 percent of his body and was airlifted to a hospital in critical condition. Although it was widely believed that Roberts had an allergic reaction to flame-retardant chemicals, he was secretly an asthmatic and the chemicals made his breathing worse.[1]
Roberts was able to survive for several weeks, and it appeared he might pull through, but Roberts' health took a turn for the worse on June 30, 1964. He contracted pneumonia and sepsis and slipped into a coma by the next day. He died on July 2, 1964.

I remember Fireball's #22 orchid colored Fords. He drove Smoky Yunick's Pontiac , also #22 which a Black/Gold 62 Pontiac Catalina. In 62 Firestone did a tire test for stock cars at the Indianapolis Speedway. Fireball, Paul Goldsmith, and Joe Weatherly were all driving 62 Pontiacs for the test. To my knowledge, that was the only time that Stock Cars were on the track at Indy until they started the Brickyard 400 in 94.
-
Fireball also raced on the Old Beach course at Daytona. I remember him driving a 55 Buick 2doorHT #M-2.
-
My first BIG race was the Southern 500 in ’63. Roberts won it. Joe, I don’t remember the position, finished high enough to beat Richard Petty for the championship.
Robert’s death led to the development of the fuel cell. Joe’s to the window net.
-
What was that wreck in the 50's, where the car landed in the front rows of the stands? Saw footage of it as a kid but haven't thought about it til now. I'm sure you guy's will remember.
Leo
-
There is a lot film of Cale Yarbrough in a 63 Ford flying over the fence at Darlington. There is another one of Dick Hutcherson in another Ford going over a Fence at Daytona.
-
Leo, I remember readin’ about someone knockin’ the fence down in Martinsville in the fifties. Don’t think anyone was killed.
When NASCAR banned the ‘Himmy’, Chrysler got their collective panties inna wad ‘n pulled their factory backed cars. Petty went drag racin’ in what would become Funny Cars. He had an accident ‘n killed a l’il boy.
Bobby Allison went airborne at Talladega back in the ‘80s ‘n rode the catch fence. Several were injured by debris. Now at that track ‘n Daytona they have restrictor plates to keep ‘em under two hundred miles an hour.
-
Arcey, Is it just me or have we seen a bunch of this Nascar stuff?
-
LOL! Reckon we’ve seen a lap or three.
-
RCR got the 1, 2,3, finish at Bristol. Glad to see GM in the winner's circle. More hard luck for JGR again. Martinsville will be tough on the brakes.
-
Arce,
I think ya got it right with the Martinsville episode. It was when they was racin the single seaters open top with the roll bar in back. If memry serves the car didn't go thru the fence but flew over it an landed on the crowd. It's funny the things ya remember from childhood.
If I have anymore questions I'll know right where ta go.
Leo
-
Power steerin’ trouble for Hamlin last week. Same thing for Busch today. Fuel problems for Stewart ‘n Hamlin last year in this race. Fuel problem for Hamlin today. Wonder what’s goin’ on at JGR. They had ‘em won.
Leo, that ain’t it. I watch stock cars. Don’t know much about the old roadsters. Remember a real, real bad one in france (lower case intended) years ago. Killed a bunch of spectators.
-
Le Mans.
-
Lots of Gremlins runnin around JGR.
-
You're right, TLD. That one was a bad one. Not sure if they changed the spectator areas or not after that one. Another bad one was in '67 or '68. Walt Hansgen had to go down an escape chute and still hit hay bales or something in one of those Ford GT-40 Mark IV's. Tore the car completely up...............Buck 8) :o
-
……or Lay Maaaaa as the frogs say.
If it’s the one I have in mind it was horrible. But what in the name of heck were those people thinkin’ standin’ there?
The ‘world’ racin’ community can run their mouths all they want about the European ‘rice-in’ sophistication. They can’t hold a candle to NASCAR or the NHRA when it comes to safety for the competitors or spectators.
-
I was watching the NHRA races from Gainesville Florida yesterday on TV. Cruz Pedregon had a buge Blower explosion and fire on his Funny Car. The body was blown completely off the car and the Safety Safari was on the spot to put out the fire. Cruz was shaken but uninjured.

Arcey, Looks like Shrader will be driving a Toyota the rest of the season.

Well, Little E got himself a pole here at TMS. Traffic will be congested around here for the next two or three days. It was neat to go out there and watch the races in person at first. Now the crowds are about 250,000 and the traffic and parking is a nightmare. I'm saving up for one of the Sony Bravia TVs and one of those Bose surround sound systems for next year. I enjoyed being there, but not all the walking.
-
Good pole run for Junior.
We were eatin’ supper when McDowell hit the wall. I’m always on my ‘n daughter for over usin’ the term ‘Ok my God’ over ‘n over like a couple of airheads. When I saw that car take a bite ‘n turn right, all I could say was ‘Oh my God’. When hje got out of what was left of the car ‘n limped to the ambulance, all I could do was thank God for anyone who had anything to do with the development of SAFER barriers and the car. Man, what a wallop!
Started lookin’ at new TVs. The one in the hayloft will be simple. Half the time I mute the thing ‘n listen to the radio broadcasts, racin’ or football. Done some lookin’ into recordin’ devices too. Wife hates to change in the rest of the house because she’s so used to what she has.
-
I just saw the clip of it flipping over and over. Most of the bad wrecks that have happened since the track was new, is going from turn to turn 2. I have been in a rollover. Everything gets quite inside the car and everything is in slow motion.
-
This is true TLD.
Did ya get that feeling of calmness over ya as well...jus riding it out an waitin for it ta stop? It was like bein in a movie fer me.
Leo
-
I was amazed to see him walk away from that wreck with only a limp. I was begining to think it would never stop flipping.
-
Those cars are designed to disapate the energy during the crash. The new car has the drivers seat more toward the center of the inside of the car. The neck devise helps, the new seat, and new seat belts all work together for the driver's safety.
-
Just watched it....OH MY GOD
-
The fact that the driver is a young guy helps quite a bit. They don't know enough to be scared and they heal fast.
-
Just thought I'd stop by and tell ya somethin' I heard on the radio the other day, there is a world wide hops shortage. Just thought I'd let you know in case you wanted to hide a few in the basement inc ase. ;)

That barley they use fer beer is gonna be short too. tha Gov't done put it on tha Ethanol fuel list ::)

This is very disturbing news. :'(

Nooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!! I need my beer. Whatever am I going to do?!?? :o :o :'( :'(

Might have to look at the wheat based beers, Trin-i-teee ::) 8)

I've got one left in the fridge. There's nothing wrong with a good Weizen. :D
Wheat, rye an' oats are on tha list with corn and barley...
They just want to do me in, don't they? Just as well, I have acid problems with beer. None with whiskey. ;D
-
Better stock up now Trinity! Git to the store and buy a few 12 packs. In fact visit a few stores.
-
Besides the one wheat beer I
've got had in the fridge, I am down to my last ten bottles of regular beer. :(
-
Definately time to stock up then....
when I did beer Shiner ;D an alarm went off when tha stock got below 2 cases. :D
-
Shiner makes a good Weizen, but it's not always easy to find around here. My favorite Friday night hangout used to serve Shiner Bock on tap, but they did away with it to have more room for the watery beers. >:(
-
Ethanol, global warmin’, can’t start new wells on our own soil ‘n shores. No new nuclear power plants. Can’t build new refineries. This bullsh-t is long past ‘gettin’ old. It’s been old ‘n we’re payin’ for it.
Cousin Carl had ‘em covered – que the duck. Montoya, lapped, messes up the leader on a restart. Later, Edwards approached to put him another lap down ‘n he wouldn’t get out of the way all day. Edwards gave him a l’il help findin’ another groove.
Sorry, Junior. Qualifyin’ is three miles. The race is 500.
With the exception of Johnson, HMS was out to lunch. And, he finishes second then bad mouths the car – never once sayin’ the name Chevrolet in the post race interview. Jimmie, ya got beat. Live with it. Gordon finishes dead last with a car he had to park because he couldn’t drive it.
All three JGR cars seventh or better.
Yeley loses it ‘n smacks the inside wall a ton. Nothin’ new. UNOFFICIAL, blackbox data indicates McDowell hit the wall in qualifyin’, moment of impact, 161 mph. Damn!
The Texas shots were great. The cattle. A cowboy or six. The boot with a spur on it trophy. The hats were kindah corny. The SAA clones awarded the winner were identified as Berettas. Perfect weather. 190,000 folks showed up to watch a more’n decent race with a stand up to watch, ain’t nobody leavin’ finish. Nice job, Texas!

Wonder if the Winner had to have a background call made and they had to be shipped to a dealer where he is a legal resident
-
Reckon so. Maybe they should switch ta ‘58s.
-
LOL
-
Arce is the Harry Carry of racin--no doubt ;D
Thanks fer the update, twas too busy ta watch.
Leo
-
Carl said he had a good car as the race started. Bif and Matt did pretty good too. Kyle Busch tried to drive the wheels off that #18. JJ is becoming as big a whiner as Wonder Wimp. TMS has finally got a second groove and it makes for better racing.
-
Well, the Nationwide Series is Mexico City on a 2.5 mile road course. I would like to see Ol Boris Said win this one. He has finished no worse than 3rd 3 times.
-
Expectin’ the winner ta come out the top eight.
Said spent a couple days with the pole sitter at VIR last week workin’ with him ‘n he was really impressed. The kid has raced the track before in a different series. But bein’ a rookie all it’s gonna take is one mistake ‘n he’ll slip back.
Pruett. If I had ta put money on one car. He had the best shot at it last year ‘til he got punted. Cars been fast since they took it off the hauler.
Cousin Carl admits he ain’t a road course driver. There isn’t any quit in ‘im. They’ve struggled to get the car up to speed.
Ambrose could be fun to watch. If it’s in that JTG car he’ll get it out.
Said is Said. Put down a good lap but that’s a Rensi car ‘n crew. Not the best.
Busch was first or second thru practice. Don’t know how he wound up sixth. Several drivers mentioned they couldn’t stay with him. The car is that strong.
Pat Carpenter (mean that in a nice way. Like the guy. Just Americanized the name.) Car should be as good as Pruett’s. Had a good shot at another road thingy last season. Now he has more experience in a heavy car. Bears watchin’.
I thought if I didn’t mention Bowyer he’d win.
All my opinion. Don’t mean nothin’ a’tall.
-
It looks like Danica Baby won her first IRL race. Too bad it had to be in Japan.
-
Well whatcha know ‘bout that?
Not ta be knockin’ the child’s win – but…………
18 cars in the field. One’s in the fence in the first turn. Now there’s all of 17. A race of 300 miles in a season of 16 races. With the exception of Indianapolis they draw 20K to 30K for a race. Kindah smacks of the Mickey Mouse Racin’ League.
‘N the pseudo–sophisticated, wine ‘n cheese crowd have a difficult time tryin’ ta understand why NASCAR folks can’t take it seriously.
-
Arcey, You gotta admit she does fill out that driving suit in the right places.

:o :o :o :o :o

Arcey, You gotta admit she does fill out that driving suit in the right places.

With all due respect ta the young lady’s physical attributes, as well, sirs, yer independent ‘n several perceptions of beauty, I must say bein’ a southern gentleman I prefer the fairer sex to be nourished on down home cookin’ ‘n as such filled out a l’il more fully. Looks like a seventh grader ta me.
Busch. Ain’t gottah like ‘im but it’s tough debatin’ the boy’s ability to hustle a race car. Left turns, right turns – don’t matter.
-
True story Arcey,
He hugs the wall ta where nuthin but a matchbook would fit there and let's ya know he's doin it on purpose :) Good drivin.
Leo
-
Kyle is hard on equipment but the boy can drive.
-
Talledega, this weekend. Should be a lot of "bunched up" race cars waiting for the "big wreck" that takes out half the field at one time.
-
Might be some wadded up stuff towards the front early. Ain’t bad mouthin’ ‘em, just sayin’ but some of the go-or-go-home teams have done some pretty extreme things to the cars to get ‘em inta the show. Settin’s that ain’t gonna last but a few laps before they start causin’ problems. Impound rules. The cars can’t be adjusted until the race starts. The 78 on the pole, 84 ‘n 70 in the second row ‘n the 21 in 12th. I hope they get out of the way quick.
22 ‘n 96 go home. Thinkin’ there’s more problems at BDR than they’re lettin’ on. This is their last year with Caterpillar. Guessin' they'll be goin' bye-bye after this season's end.
HoF Racin’ has to figure dumpin’ Raines for Yeley was a bad move by now.
-
That was the lamest excuse for causin’ a freakin’ wreck spewin’ outtah Lepage’s mouth I’ve heard inna long time. Ya pull inta traffic runnin’ 70 or 80 mph hour faster? What a dumb ass move. I had more respect for him than that.
I’ll give him one thing. That interview would have made a Clinton proud. Tryin’ ta shift the blame for his major screw up ta others. Disgustin’.
-
Busch Series(League)?????????? 8) ::)
-
I think that the Craftsman Truck Series is becoming the most competive of all the Series.
-
Busch beer backed outta the series sponsorship. Nationwide insurance has it now. The move doesn’t rise to the readily accepted level of the term ‘Busch League’.
Yanno, most times ya see these things ‘n initially ya blame one driver. Another angle from another camera ‘n ya see it wasn’t all him. Then ya chalk it up to ‘one ah them racin’ deals’. But I don’t know that I’ve ever seen one more blatantly stupid as that ‘n against the blend instructions issued by NASCAR. Then to give an interview blamin’ other folks is too much.
They’re rippin’ ‘im a new one on the racin’ board. I’m of the opinion NASCAR should take post race action on this one.
Looks like the trucks are a wreck waitin’ ta happen. They don’t play nice.

That was a while ago. I don't think they even race at the track in Colorado, which by the way started out as a horse racing track.

Wow, I fergot about that one :o
16 cars. Guess no one ever taught the boy ta merge.

-
There's one for America's Stupidest Videos!
I would expect they would slap him good for a boneheaded stunt like that.
-
LaPage definitely had his head up his ass. There is no excuse for that kind of stupidity.
-
Grab a pant-load of the interviews, replays ‘n commentary. The ole boy is delusional or a liar. Maybe both.
He’s 40 some odd years old. Been drivin’ in one major series or another for 15 years. Got a couple wins in the old Busch series. Won 15 million dollars. Made 400 races ‘n logged over 100 thousand miles on the tracks. His wife is his spotter. He knows better’n to pull a stunt like that.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EVQrncqFfY0&feature=related
-
A dozen cars passed before he went over the line?
I counted two.
Leo
-
You are supposed to blend with the flow of traffic and stay below the yellow line until it is clear to move up.
-
Yeah, yet the guy can stand in front of a camera and lie like a rug. He cost some good drivers important points.
Leo
-
You can hear the spotter sying watch the blend line, and I liked the comment about using common sense, seems like that is disappearing everywhere nowadays.
-
It's all about the sponsors being happy and if the driver can't win he or she will be replaced.
-
Kindah enjoy the sponsor battles.
Mars Candies (M&Ms) has to be happy to be off the 38 ‘n on the 18. Another win. In the junk food battle they beat L’il Debbie Snack Cakes.
Ya know FedEX is tickled ‘n UPS frustrated. Bettin’ UPS bolts MWR for RFR next season.
Northern Tool & Equipment torqued DeWalt down.
One Red Bull car beats the Amp Energy car. But the Amp car beat the other Red Bull car. A draw?
The National Guard outscores the Army.
Kellogg’s Corn Flakes over Cheerios.
Carquest over NAPA.
alltel hangs up on AT&T. The series sponsor, Sprint, don’t want either of ‘em on the track.
Lowe’s over Menard’s over Home Depot.
Budweiser taps Miller out but Crown Royal drowned ‘em both.
Pennzoil lubes Marathon ‘n they slide past Mobile 1.
Reckon Tums Quick Pak ‘n Hunt Brothers Pizza er kindah rivals. Tums win.
Garmin can’t find no one to race.
Best Buy hawks office stuff. They won out over Office Depot. Office Depot blew a cubicle caster.

FWIW.......
STATESVILLE, N.C.PUBLIC APOLOGY FROM KEVIN LEPAGE – “As a child my dreams had always been to race on Superspeedways. Racing in NASCAR has allowed this to happen and I have a career that I love. However, on Saturday afternoon every racer’s concern was realized, as I caused “The Big One”. After reviewing the tapes of the accident I realize I need to apologize to NASCAR, the car owners, my fellowcompetitors and most importantly the fans. I made a huge driver error by blending onto the racetrack in the wrong area. This caused a multi-car accident and changed the outcome of the race for many teams. I’m so thankful that no one was hurt considering the number of cars involved. In over 25 years of racing this was the biggest mistake I’ve ever made behind the wheel of a stock car and I promise that it will not happen again. It is such a terrible feeling knowing that NASCAR, the car owners, fellow competitors and NASCAR fans think this was a “bonehead” move and I certainly don’t want anyone thinking of me in these terms. Speaking yesterday before reviewing the tapes of the accident made me look like a “heal” and there is not a single person to blame for this huge mistake except myself. I have worked very hard over the years to gain the respect of NASCAR, the owners,competitors and the fans and it will take a long time to gain it back after what happened. Once again I want to apologize to everyone involved. If I could replay the race, I would have used better judgment and let the pack go by before blending onto the racetrack.”Sincerely, Kevin Lepage
-
in this one he blamed the other spotters
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EVQrncqFfY0&feature=related
question?....did he get a good ole fashion ass whooping after the race?
-
Too Little Too Late
-
Well, I got the Speed Channel on, a Cold Budlight, and Momma is out on the town. Life is good.
-
Let’s go racin’…..
-
I've Been to Richmond, but never to the track. Gotta be hard on the front brakes, sorta like Martinsville.
-
Ain’t far from me. Went when I was little ‘n it was dirt. A few years ago I’d ah been there now.
Ya see how the crowd just stops in one ‘n four? Wasn’t that way when the Sawyers owned it. These people rope it off ta save on clean up under the stands. Before I’ll be crowded like cattle, I’ll stay here ‘n watch on TV.
-
Hamlin won the race, Them Toyos from JGR are strong at every race. Cousin Carl seems to be "snake bit" in the Nationwide Series.
-
Hamlin should have won that race. He had the field covered until the tire blew. Clint was at the right place at the right time.
-
Hamlin was stinkin’ up the show. Most of the time I get bored with that quick but when it’s one of the guys ya pull for it’s kindah fun. I thought for sure NASCAR would toss a caution before they’d let ‘im lap the HMS cars.
Admit ta bein’ awful disappointed. Sat here ‘n watched wonderin’ what was gonna go wrong. Took 382 laps to find out.
The ‘Jack’ crew did what they had to. Did it clean. More power to ‘em.
-
I still think that they are messing with that right front to free the front end in turning. They are having too many right front issues.
-
Well, It's the Lady in Black next weekend. The track has been resurfaced, It's still narrow, though. Those "Darlington Stripes" are what makes Darlington special.
-
Hehe…… 200 mph goin’ inta one (the original three) gonna be interestin’.
-
Close your eyes and pray.
-
The new trade-mark. The Darlington Splat………..
-
Watched an ARCA race today at "The Rock". It has been resurfaced and looks pretty good. Joey Lagano won the race driving Bill Ventrini's #25 Monte Carlo sponsored by JGR. He was the class of the field. Ken Schrader won 2nd.
-
Been in ‘n out all day. Taped it ta watch this evenin’.
Gonna hafta ta do some diggin’ later. Heard it was an obsolete JGR Chevrolet. JGR folks provided the power set it up. Didn’t think that’d settle well with Toyota.
Heard the thing Schrader had he bought from BAM.
-
It was a Dodge.
-
Watched it flag ta flag..
Track looks good. But Hillenberg is wantin’ ‘n needin’ a NASCAR event if the thing is gonna be successful. He has two strikes against him already with NASCAR pullin’ out the place. He hasn’t installed SAFER barriers. Without them he ain’t gottah prayer of landin’ a truck event.
Awful sorry he didn’t have more of a crowd there. Lagano sure did stink things up. Looked like he was well schooled on savin’ tires. Kept her high as long as he could ‘n put her low when he needed to. Let’s see how he handles a winnin’ 20 car later this month when he’ll have the toughest, play-for-keeps competition he’s never seen before.
Yeah, Schrader’s ride was a Dodge. Without any luck lookin’ back for the article I’ll stick with the original thought. He has a good relationship with BAM ‘n they had to have a few of the things they can’t use.
Under the ‘Top 35’ rule, BAM’s poor performance ‘n their hiatus from enterin’ races here lately I’d say they’re done anyway.
-
Schrader is a Racer. He would race 7 days a week if he could.

The report I read said it was pretty quite till the last horse trotted off the track
all made it back without injuries
-
Damn…….
A car that didn’t qualify for the race wins. Oh well, the rules were the same fer ever’body. Reckon havin’ Evernham in the pits instead of off somewhere chasin’ Crocker’s panties makes a difference.
The ‘America The Beautiful’. Ummmmm. A thug wanna be in a band with ‘Mafia’ in the name. That’s sad.
Driver intros with jungle drums as background noise.
Anyways. Congrats to the 9 team. Gottah respect it.
-
Kasey needed this to boost his confidence. Arcey, What's happened to Crocker?
-
The Toyota's didn't hold up again, for awhile there the 18 looked like a world beater.........Buck 8) ::)
-
The JGR Toyos are having issues with the right fronts, causing the front tire to blow out.
-
Something went away in 18's engine, TLD. They had the valve covers off before they went behind the wall for good last night..................Buck 8) ::)
-
Tires were good with the JGR cars last night. Word was, with it bein’ a no-points affair last night, they were workin’ experimental motor packages. Stewart messed one up in practice. Busch ‘n Hamlin’s went durin’ the race. Same thing HMS was tryin’ last night with the set-ups explainin’ their poor showin’.
Crocker - Some of its rumor but I trust most of the sources, some of it comes from quotes of the players involved.
The undercover werk she did with Evernham cost them the Betty Crocker sponsorship. Evernham was lookin’ for another at the same time he was workin’ on the equity sale to Gillett. Gillett insisted on her release from EMS before the deal was closed due to the negative publicity.
Evernham made a large ‘donation’ to Morgan Dollar to get her in one of their trucks this season A minor sponsor came with her. When she couldn’t hold the sponsor MD told her to let ‘em know when she had another then they kindah laid her off.
Last I heard from her she was playin’ the sex card. No one wanted her because she was a woman. Poor me. Never mind the fact that she made every race in ’06 ‘n finished behind people in lesser equipment in the final season’s standin’s who didn’t. Never mind the suggestion Evernham was the second owner she jumped into bed with. Of that I can only guess what the ugly l’il girl has to offer.
Still, bottom line, she can’t drive competitively in any touring division of NASCAR. She’s disruptive to a race team. Without cubic dollars coming with her no one is going to hire her. Sponsors won’t back her because of her negatives. She may make one off deals now again ‘n be a rollin’ on-track hazard. Apart from that she’s done.
-
Taking the valve covers off sounds like valve spring or rocker arm problems. Too high revs is always hard on the valve train.
-
That’d be my guess, sumthin’ in the valve train. Reckon they were tryin’ ta lighten sumthin’ up. JGR is the only Toyota team buildin’ their own motors. That might explain it.
HMS does their guess werk, crew development ‘n all on the five car. Looks like JGR does it with all three in the same race.
-
R & D is always important. Everybody is searching for an edge with the COT.
-
Some of the teams are hangin' their car bodies off center to make them COT's turn better. This put undo strain on the axles.
-
A couple, Jeff Gordon specifically, are whinin’ ‘bout the crab walkers. I noticed it more on Hornish’s car last night than I usually do. Man, was that thing sideways on the back stretch? Darby sez they’re legal. What he sez goes.
Ya get inta side force, this force, that force ‘n the other aero stuff I understand a l’il bit of. I’m in over my head past that tryin’ ta figger out how to balance it.
-
Wonder Wimp is a first class whiner, especially when he ain't winnin'.
-
From an article that come in this mornin’:
"I know Mark (Cronquist, JGR engine builder) is going to be pulling his hair out," Busch said. "We had a pretty much dominant race car and just had something break within the valve train — a rocker arm first, then a couple of valves. … We'll fix it and get it ready — if not for this upcoming week then the next couple weeks."
Hamlin said the version run Saturday was designed for the sprint nature of the event: "We knew this engine wasn't going to go 500 miles. It was built for just a few more laps past 100, and it just didn't make it."
-
That Big Brown has got a good engine. Me thinks we maybe looking at a triple crown winner.
PR
-
PR he's sign on to 3 chimneys roster, undisclosed amount, win or lose the Belmont they need to keep him fit and sound.
-
I figure the amount is undisclosed because it's on a sliding scale. Started high for winning the Derby, slid up when he won the Preakness, will go through the roof if he wins the Belmont and the Triple Crown. If he gets hurt the offer goes in tha terlit.
-
Even if Big Brown doesn't win the Triple Crown, he will be worth a lot at stud.
-
Some of the teams are hangin' their car bodies off center to make them COT's turn better. This put undo strain on the axles.
Reckon NASCAR got tired of the crab walkers. Technical bulletin went to the teams today. One degree toe ‘n no more.in the rear axles effective Dover. Heard the alignment was so outtah whack folks were havin’ trouble pushin’ ‘em on the scales for final inspection. They didn’t wanna go straight. Reckon the rumor was true.
-
Yessir! Them scales were needin' be double jointed. Kyle B won the pole. He'll be hard to beat unless that right front problem rears it's ugly head.
-
I know that y'all are NASCAR fans, but did any of ya notice that we had a little race here in Indy today?
I'm surprised none of ya mentioned it.
It's not the same kind of racin' y'all normally talk about but if ya get to go there and ya like speed and seein' some talented folks from all over the world, it's a hoot! They ain't ALL prima donnas! ;)
I'll tell ya this: if ya like cars that go fast, Indy is a darn good place to live. We've got something for every taste; the 500, the Brickyard 400 and the National Drags. Not to mention a fair amount of dirt tracks and other fun stuff! Why there's even some horse tracks and a real BIG one just a couple hours away down in Ken-tucky!
Congratulations to Scott Dixon.
-
Hope ya had a good time with it, SHB.
Kindah funny. Schrader was in the 33 last evenin’. Started 33rd ‘n finished 33rd …. That’s different…
-
Even if Big Brown doesn't win the Triple Crown, he will be worth a lot at stud.
I'd bet a 5 spot if he win's the Belmont it'll bring 200k per cover, @100 mares a year that's pretty good change$$$
-
All that money and no fun to show for it!
-
SHB, I have been to Indy several times to the 500. We had a auto parts store in addition to the garage when I was a kid. We got tickets to the race and we drove up to Indy from the Texas Panhandle. Different sponsors would hand out tickets if you sold enough of their products. Never been to the Brickyard NASCAR race or the Drags. We had a sprint car in the 50's that we raced in Amarillo. I've been to the museum several times. My Dad and I were there for the 68 race. We we were in the Museum and I noticed Gus Grissom looking at the cars. I mentioned it to Dad and he told me not make a big deal out of it. Dad figured that Gus was there to look at the museum without being recognized.
-
Wunner whut Kasey Kahne could get affer last night?
-
Arcey, At least he didn't have any Right Front problems as the JGR Toyos did. I really think that Little E had a chance before he hit the wall that first time. It seemed the car was big time loose. I think Kahne was saving a little for the last 100 miles of the race. Those engines are built to run 500 not 600.
-
Don’t think Gibbs is havin’ any more tire troubles than anyone else. Stewart’s were almost seventy laps old when one let go. Hamlin, I dunno. He wasn’t runnin’ far ‘nuff up ta get much of a mention. Busch didn’t have a problem with his.
Several others had right front issues. To name a few. The other Busch brother, Penske. Earnhardt, Hendrick. Both front runners. Carpentier (that ain’t spelled right) with Evernham. Think Roush was the only organization that didn’t pop one last night.
Right sides have been bitin’ folks all season. Thinkin’ it’s the product of tryin’ ta figure this car out on the mile ‘n a halfs they ain’t been on previously. Folks piss ‘n moan ‘bout all those tracks bein’ the same but they ain’t. The similarity ends with length. They’re all different on entry ‘n exit. Texas, severely on the exit from four. Everyone in the garage (for the open wheel folks, paddock) is buildin’ new books.
-
Arcey, Changing the camber on the right front would make the tire wear unevenlyand making them blow out easier. I think you've got something about the 1.5 mile tracks. They're all different and Goodyear is trying to use the same tire on different tracks to save money.
-
Damned if ya do, damned if ya don’t. Positive in the left, negative in the right or they’d wear the other edge ‘n they wouldn’t turn.
Watched a bit of the open wheel stuff Sunday. Was kindah surprised ta see how much camber they had cranked in ‘em.
-
I watched a little of both races, it seemed like every time someone got in the lead at the Charlotte race for awhile they would wreck or have problems. Kahne seemed to have luck with him.
-
Texas Lawdog;
That must've been one of the last times anyone saw Gus Grissom alive. But - you must have been there in '66, since he died 27 Jan. '67. RIP, Gus - you are missed.
I used to be a carrier at the Postal station that delivered the Track and surrounding area. I've delivered during all the Saturdays of qualifications for the 500, the B-Yard 400 and I delivered the day of the first NASCAR Brickyard 400, won by # 24. Let me tell you; as a person who was in that area working and mixing with all the folks there to watch the goings-on, I HAD A BALL!! I'll say this: the 500 crowd, while friendly and very much the party-types, aren't (weren't) as friendly as the NASCAR crowd that first year. And the NASCAR crowd was a bit more "family-oriented", if ya know whut I mean. Not as many drunk "show-me-your-t..s" types. Oh, they were there - and sometimes kinda fun to watch, but if you're there "on a mission" - ie: working (and NO - I refused ALL offers of drinks ... 'tho I DID eat well ;D ) the drunks are sometimes just pitiful, not funny or fun. (I must be gettin' old.) ;)
-
When Vickers lost the wheel I thought I was gonna get physically ill. The second straight 600 the boy with a two year start up team had a car good ‘nuff ta win. All over in a heart beat. Power steerin’ went *poof* last year.
Spent a Labor Day weekend at Darlington in the infield, SHB. I promise I’ll never do it again. Had a pure, absolute blast but it prolly took a year off my life.
-
SHB, I guess it was maybe 65 or 66.We didn't go in 67. I've been up there several times on extraditions and I was up there during qualifications. It's still a neat place to visit. I plan on going to the 100th Indy 500.
-
My oh my…….
NASCAR told ‘em not ta screw with the body specs. Told ‘em the penalties would escalate. Reckon Haas-CNC didn’t take it seriously. Got caught with a wing mount issue on their 66 ‘n 70 cars. The cars were seized by NASCAR. Haas-CNC will take it seriously now.
150 driver’s and car owner’s point penalty for each car. $100K fine to the car owners. Stiffest in a long, long time.
Crew chiefs AND car chiefs fined $100K each ‘n suspended ‘til July 9th. The suspension of a car chief is unprecedented.
The entire car(s) are now the property of NASCAR. Don’t remember ‘em ever confiscating a whole car.
Gene Haas is filthy rich. Even from federal prison he’ll probably eat the fines for his employees. But the loss of the cars ‘n points is huge.
Booty Barker, crew chief for the 70, is livid. Seems they slipped it past NASCAR Tech only to be ratted out by another team.
-
Arcey, what is the $$$ value on one car used in those races?
-
Brand new, fresh outtah the fab shop, no drive train or electronics, ‘round a hundred grand. That’s ta start with.
The big cost is fittin’ ‘em out, testin’ ‘em then gettin’ two to the race track. A primary ya intend ta race ‘n a back up in case the primary is tore up in practice or qualifyin’. Ya lose one ready ta go ‘n the cost in time ‘n man-hours ta replace it, I couldn’t tell ya.
-
Ball Park figure about 250,000. per car.
-
I’d offer a quarter of a million ta be a fair estimate for the final product.
Suspect that’s why the the folks at the top want 20 million these days for a primary sponsorship.
-
They say that changing over to the COT will be cheaper for the teams. That has yet to be proven to me.
-
The statements been attributed to both Yates ‘n Childress. Said they were gonna go broke if NASCAR keeps on savin’ ‘em money.
Now, they’ve about finished the Nationwide prototype of the CoT. Earnhardt looked at it ‘n said he’ll change his JR Motorsports operation over to cup. Won’t cost any more ‘n there’s a lot more money in cup even for a field filler. Suspect smaller teams will do the same or shut down. NASCAR is stranglin’ that series. Maybe it’s on purpose. Sad.
Said it before, kill it outright. Put the effort in trucks. But as long as they’re puttin’ thirty ta fifty thousand butts in the seats 'n pullin' in three or four million TV watchers they’ll run the little guys outtah business.
-
We got the IRL and Trucks comin' to TMS next weekend. I'm kinda likin the Trucks.
-
Really enjoy the trucks. They don’t play nice.
Lottah folks down on Lia for puntin’ Starr for the win last week. Just life the way it is in trucks.
Never have seen a good reason for ‘em takin’ the trucks outtah Richmond. Fans ‘n teams love the place. Good crowds ‘n good racin’.
-
Starr is from Texas. At one time he was one of the driving instructors at Texas Motor Speedway.
-
Ann Richards was from Texas too. Kim Crosby instructed for Buck Baker’s drivin’ school. Good ta see that wreck waitin’ ta happen is off the track.
Been me ‘n I couldn’t get away from ya I’d have expected it. We’re pards but if I get ta yer left quarter I’m gonna punt ya. Nothin’ personal, just bidness.
-
Watchin' practice from Dover, sorta boring.
-
Willd Thing looked pretty good today. Roush won second, third and fourth. Wonder Wimp won fifth and he was lucky to get that.
-
The boys onna roll. The crew slammin’ out 12.4s. Geeezzzzz…..
Hope sumbody slaps Vickers. A top ten, maybe a top five car for a team that needs it bad ‘n he gets caught TWICE for speed.
-
Racin' at Pocono next week. They're supposed to have repaved part of the track.
-
Hate ta be the bearer, boys.
Back in the day we din’t get much NASCAR racin’ on TV. When we did we saw Jim McKay. On the old Wide World of Sports he could make a game of tiddly-winks seem interestin’
He passed today at 86. Rest In Peace, Jim McKay.

That's a shame.
I miss WWS. Sunday is just not a Sunday without hearin that music and watch that skier eat it on the downhill. Jim McKay was great, I remember him covering the yearly lumberjack competion.
Leo
-
Back in the olden days, live coverage of auto racing was unheard of. If you didn't go to the Indy 500, the only way was to listen to on the radio(AM). In 1979 when CBS aired the Daytona 500, that was the first. Now, thanks to ESPN we can watch most auto races live. It's hard to believe that Jim McKay was that old.
-
I miss Jim and WWS, too. :(

Let's hear it for the agony of the FEET!

Gotta talk ta Del bout sizin ya proper fer some boots ;D
I'd guess that skiin' feller I mentioned afore had "agony of the everything". I recall hearin years ago that he even swallered his toungue in that little mishap :o
Leo
-
Gottah tip the hat ta the Red Bull team taday. The only reason they weren’t the laughin’ stock of NASCAR last season was Michael Waltrip Racin’ was worse.
Today 2nd ‘n 12th. Good runs. Vickers just needs some luck other than bad. ‘Dinger gets better with badly needed seat time. They’re developin’ Scott Speed in the minors for a third cup entry. A bottomless check book. It’s all comin’ tagether.
-
It's going to take folks drinking alot of those little cans of energy to support 3 or 4 teams for Red Bull.
-
That’s the truth. Don’t think I’d drink it onna bet but they gottah be makin’ a fortune all the money they spend on motorsports. Everything from motorcycles to that flyin’ circus they call air racin’, Like ta know what they spend on that F-1 thingy.
Rumors I’m hearin’ is they’re lookin’ for ‘nother shop with more room.
-
I'm sure that they will go ahead and expand to 4 teams on Cup. I hope the Toyo teams will share info to make all of them stronger. KK was the class pf the field. Mopar is behind the rest of the brands but maybe there is light at the end of the tunnel.
-
Y’all know I own Toyotas. Has nothin’ ta do with it. Ta see an organization started from scratch last year ta rise up ‘n become a legit threat in their second year against the excellence of the established winners just thrills me silly. There’s blood, sweat ‘n tears in there. I believe in hard work ‘n dedication.
Mikey is doin’ ‘nuff ta bleed his sponsors for all they’re worth ‘til he finishes his monument to him. Bill Davis has destroyed his credibility by throwin’ all the Dodge development ‘n technology open to Toyota. All he can do now is build trucks. Blaney deserves better.
Gibbs ‘n Red Bull are deadly serious. It’s startin’ ta show.
-
The Toyos can only get stronger as the season goes on. These next 10 or so races will be critical to all the teams.
-
Initially, Lee White said they weren’t interested in cup. They were goin’ after the F-150 with Tundras. They found success pretty quick.
Then they decided to move to cup. The Nationwide stuff as a tag along. Affilatin’ with Davis, Waltrip ‘n Mateschitz, folks, includin’ me, had a chuckle. Imagine those folks racin’ against Hendrick, Childress, Gibbs ‘n Roush. Then, Gibbs defects ‘n Mateschitz ain’t just there ta show the logo. Ut oh………
I’m impressed with Red Bull. I don’t think they’re kiddin’. They’re still gonna get slapped down for a spell. But they’re gonna get back up. Every time they do they’re gonna be stronger.
-
Racin' at Michigan this weekend. Michigan is usually a Ford track, maybe Roush can flex a little muscle. I'm still hopin' that Matt the Brat will get goin' again and catch up with Cousin Carl and Biff.

Former official sues NASCAR over harassment claims

Former official sues NASCAR over harassment claims
As an aspiring racing official, Mauricia Grant had grown used to working in a man's world.
When she finally made it into NASCAR, Grant was appalled at the way she says she was treated beginning from her first day on the job until her firing last October.
Now she's suing NASCAR for $225 million, alleging racial and sexual discrimination, sexual harassment and wrongful termination.
"I loved it. It was a great, exciting, adrenaline-filled job where I worked with fast cars and the best drivers in the world," Grant told The Associated Press. "But there was an ongoing daily pattern (of harassment). It was the nature of the people I worked with, the people who ran it, it trickled down from the top.
"It's just the way things are in the garage."
The 32-year-old Grant, who is black, worked as a technical inspector responsible for certifying cars in NASCAR's second-tier Nationwide Series from January 2005 until her termination. In the lawsuit, she alleged she was referred to as "Nappy Headed Mo" and "Queen Sheba," by co-workers, was often told she worked on "colored people time," and was frightened by one official who routinely made references to the Ku Klux Klan.
In addition, Grant said she was subjected to sexual advances from male co-workers, two of whom allegedly exposed themselves to her, and graphic and lewd jokes.
The lawsuit, filed Tuesday in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, lists 23 specific incidents of alleged sexual harassment and 34 specific incidents of alleged racial and gender discrimination beginning when she was hired in January 2005 through her October 2007 firing.
NASCAR spokesman Ramsey Poston said the organization had not yet reviewed the suit.
"As an equal opportunity employer, NASCAR is fully committed to the spirit and letter of affirmative action law," Poston said, adding NASCAR has a zero tolerance policy for harassment.
In the lawsuit, Grant said she complained numerous times to her supervisors about how she was treated, to no avail. On one occasion, Grant said Nationwide Series director Joe Balash, her immediate supervisor, was dismissive of her complaints, explaining her co-workers were "former military guys" with a rough sense of humor. "You just have to deal with it," she says Balash told her.
On another occasion, she alleged Balash participated in the harassment.
"Does your workout include an urban obstacle course with a flat-screen TV on your back?" she claimed Balash asked her during the week of July 28, 2007 while working in Indianapolis.
Grant told the AP her two younger sisters witnessed racial discrimination against the official while visiting her at Daytona International Speedway in 2006 and encouraged her to document every incident going forward.
The lawsuit details a series of those alleged incidents:
- Grant was forced to work outside more often than the white male officials because her supervisors believed she couldn't sunburn because she was black.
- While riding in the backseat of her car pool at Talladega Superspeedway, co-workers told her to duck as they passed race fans. "I don't want to start a riot when these fans see a black woman in my car," she claims one official said.
- When packing up a dark garage at Texas Motor Speedway an official told Grant: "Keep smiling and pop your eyes out 'cause we can't see you."
- When she ignored advances from co-workers, Grant was accused of being gay. She also claimed co-workers questioned the sexual orientation of two other female officials.
After her termination, Grant said she went over her notes and recognized "a pattern of retaliation and discrimination."
"It didn't diminish my love for the sport of auto racing, but the job wasn't always the easiest thing to go to every day," she said.
Grant said she routinely complained to her supervisors. Two weeks after her final complaint, Grant said she was warned during the week of August 18, 2007 at Michigan International Speedway that she had engaged in "conduct unbecoming of a NASCAR representative" and would be fired unless she changed her behavior. She said the warning stemmed from a confrontation with a track official who stopped her as she passed through a gate to use the restroom.
Roughly two months later, Grant was fired, and NASCAR cited a poor work performance in ending her employment. The lawsuit claims other than a previous warning for using "street" language, Grant had never been disciplined for job performance and routinely received positive reviews.
"It is time for NASCAR to realize that not everbody is going to be bought off and not file a complaint," said Grant's attorney, Benedict P. Morelli of Morelli Ratner PC. "Not everybody is going to be intimidated and not file a complaint. Not everybody is going to be blackballed and not file a complaint."
In addition, the suit claims official Heather Gambino was fired in 2006 for complaining about a sexually hostile work environment. The suit also claims former official Dean Duckett, who is black, was reprimanded and ultimately fired last November for using "aggressive language toward a white co-worker."
Among those identified in Grant's suit are Balash, assistant series director Mike Dolan, supervisors Alan Shephard and Dennis Dillon, NASCAR's senior manager for business relations, the human resources director and 17 of Grant's fellow officials. All of the defendants are white.
"My supervisors all praised me. I was hanging in there with the guys," she said. "I am an athletic person. I went over the wall and faced malicious crews and competitive crew chiefs, and I was right there and held it down and was never lazy about it.
"And I knew that once I was terminated, there wasn't going to be an opportunity for me to find another industry like NASCAR to practice my craft."
-
That just goes to show you that there are still a bunch of red neck male chauvnist pigs in NASCAR.
-
I finished reading the complaint a few minutes ago. Some of it resonates of the truth, or her perception of it.
The first thing I learned from eight years of having those things handed to me with the direction to ‘look into this’, it’s only one side.
I smell a nuisance settlement.
-
YEP!
-
The thing that amazes me about those cases is when they get filed after someone is terminated. If it was so unbearable why sisn't they bring it to the courts sooner. Not saying the case might not have some validity, but to me it loses some credibility when it seems to be retaliatory like this one. I agree that it will probably be buried under a sealed settlement order.
-
Shoes are droppin’.
The AP quotes a former co-worker, who was named in the complaint, as sayin’ the incidents she cites did occur ‘n she willingly participated. This individual has resigned his position with the sanctionin’ body to take another job.
NASCAR officials claim they were unaware of any of it until the papers were received. They’re also sayin’ proper procedures, as prescribed by their employees’ manual, had not been followed.
-
Baffle them with BS.
-
It's already popping up on the news wires as the unsavory side of the racing industry. As usual the news are making NASCAR appear guilty before they have even had a day in court.
-
"guilty until proven innocent" seems ta be the order of the day when the media gets involved.
Leo
-
Auto Racing has always been a male dominated sport since it began. Stock car racing grew out of the moonshining industry, also male dominated. The "Good Oi' Boys don't like change and consider the entrance of women into the sport as bad.
-
My oh my, WOW!
Ain’t much of a fan ah that track. Usually a snoozer. If there’s ever a better race than that one I sure wanna see it.
From Roush doin’ the fly over in his vintage P-51 with a couple trainers trailin’ him ta a photo finish. It don’t get any better than that.
Man whadda race!
-
Didn't watch the Nationwide race last night. I read that Lagano won the race. Youngest driver to win since 1999. Congrats to Joey and JGR.
-
Logano sorta wore ‘em out. The #20 Camry is the class of the field right now ‘n it appears he kin drive it. The younger Busch was tryin’ so hard ta catch ‘im he lost it ‘n tore the #18 up. Got ‘is ass all up on ‘is shoulders ‘n said he wasn’t runnin’ Nationwide next weekend. He wasn’t a contender in the truck race. Reckon he had a bad day.
The truck race was unreal. Be awhile ’fore there’s one like that again.
-
Looks like Roush won the truck race, chased by a herd of Toyos.
-
Hope ya saw or can see a replay. Darnell ‘n Benson in almost a dead heat. Right behind ‘em, Bodine, Speed ‘n Gaughn three wide to the line.
They fought one ‘nother from the green flag. Every kindah pit strategy ya kin think of.
-
Hornaday can't stand too many finishes like yesterday. I got met Ron at TMS one night after the truck race. The guy that invited me to watch the race in his skybox introduced me to Ron. I've got a picture with Ron somewhere. It was back when he drove the #16 NAPA Truck for DE sr.
-
Congrats to Little E on his victory at Michigan. I'm glad he finally broke the drought and won one.
-
Always pulled for Junior. Can’t now. He willingly chose to drive for a thief. I don’t care for thieves.
So much for Mark Martin’s prediction that he was gonna win – 25th. Stayed in the way long ‘nuff to break Vickers’ momentum or he may have passed the 17. The boy keeps runnin’ this solid he’s gonna win one.
Tex, the truck finish. Take a look:

Man OH Man was that close! I still say the Truck series is the most competative series.

An update on the Grant lawsuit.
Followin’ preliminary interviews by NASCAR internal investigators, both employees accused of exposin’ themselves to the plaintiff have been indefinitely suspended with pay.
-
I guess you could say that they were suspended for exposing their short-comings.
-
Couldn’t tell ta either way. Don’t wanna know. Will say if that was the reason for the suspensions basic intelligence in today’s work-place sher ain’t their long suit.
-
Don't ask, don't tell.
-
Goin’ thru today’s racin’ news. See where the Army is talkin’ explorin’ their sponsorship options for ’09. Hell I don’t blame ‘em. DEI is a slowly sinkin’ ship. It was doomed when the widow refused Junior’s request for controllin’ interest. Between he ‘n his sister they would have put the right people in place to be competitive. Ain’t as if the widow isn’t wealthy beyond her wildest dreams already ‘n datin’ one of the wealthiest men in the country. I could go on but that’s enough of trashin’ the woman.
The reason for the post is the Army is talkin’ to a Toyota team. Despite my enjoyment of Toyota’s recent success ‘n my bein’ an owner of Toyotas, the logo of the United States Army on a Camry is just plain wrong.
Go with Yates, Army. They have a good, clean cut, well spoken young man in the 28 Ford in need of sponsor dollars. With it that team will show results.
-

Yes it is..............Maybe Army recruiting needs a budget cut
-
Army is a good sponsor. You got a built in fan base with all the young soldiers. The NHRA TF Army team is a good fit. They did sponsor one of the prostock bikes last year. Mark Martin is a tough little guy and he is a good fit for Army sponsor. I would hate to see them not on a car next year. Little E has embraced his National Guard sponsorship on the Cup car and the Navy on his Nationwide Team.
-
Won’t get into the American built, UAW or this is junk, that’s junk thing.
Just sayin’ in my view NASCAR is destroyin’ tradition all on their own. The tradition ‘n fame was built on the shoulders of Chrysler, General Motors ‘n Ford. Any branch of the United States Military should sponsor one of those.
The Army, Navy ‘n The Guard have all three said their studies show their involvement in racin’, in terms of recruitment, has been money well spent. Just please don’t spend it on a Toyota.

What He said! :) ;) 8) ;D

NHRA driver Scott Kalitta killed in crash in NJ
54 minutes ago
ENGLISHTOWN, N.J. (AP) — Scott Kalitta died Saturday when his Funny Car crashed and burst into flames during qualifying for the Lucas Oil NHRA SuperNationals at Old Bridge Township Raceway Park.
State police confirmed that the 46-year-old Kalitta, a two-time Top Fuel champion who had 18 career victories, was killed in the accident.
Witnesses told The Star-Ledger of Newark that Kalitta's Toyota Solara was traveling at an estimated speed of 300 mph when the crash occurred.
The Palmetto, Fla., resident started his career at Old Bridge Township Raceway Park in 1982. His father, Connie Kalitta, was a longtime driver and team owner known as "The Bounty Hunter," and his cousin, Doug Kalitta, also drives competitively.
My prayers for the Kalittas and the NHRA family. May they find some comfort in a sad time.
-
not the racing kind of news we like to hear...
Condolences to his family
-
My heart goes out to the family.
Top fuel racing is as dangerous as any other if not more so, the speeds are incredible.

Those Engines can produce 5 to 6 thousand HP on that Nitro-methane. Top Fuel and Funny Car Race Cars are Time Bombs on a short fuse that is already lit.

Had qualifyin’ on but I had stuff to do so I got up after Pro Mods. Didn’t see the replay ‘til after the NNS race.
Looked like the blower let loose. Huge fire inside what was left of the body. Another replay (that I won’t watch intentionally) may prove me wrong but I didn’t see the chute. The car exploded when it hit the net.
Edwards won the NNS race. To a strong chorus of boos, he refused to do a back flip. Would have been disrespectful.
-
That's a pretty good guess to the cause. When that thing lets go. it sprays that fuel onto hot metal and BOOM!
-
Arcey, I saw the video, the chutes did open and didn't burn off, I'd guess the brakes failed. Hate to hear about it.
-
I haven't seen any video of the crash, but going 300 miles an hour doesn't leave much of a margin for error. I don't think those cars have very much in the way of front brakes. I know they had a hand brake at one time.
-
Thanks, Del. Saw hunks of debris flyin’ the chutes could’ve been in that.
Tex, I’m sure some morbid idiot has stuck it on youtube by now.
-
Some of those folks that attend auto races epect to see crashes and the other stuff that takes place.
-
Them have been around forever. One on the board yesterday evenin’ sayin’ how much he enjoyed the open wheel thing from Iowa with plenty of wrecks.
Race fan my ass.
-
Arcey, That's sorta like civilians around an accident scene, especially a fatalty. Folks curious to see the damage and the dead folks.
-
Excerpts from The Detroit Free Press:
The parachute in Kalitta's Toyota Solara failed to deploy, and the car cruised off the quarter-mile strip at a speed estimated more than 300 m.p.h.
Don Prudhomme witnessed the crash and said Kalitta's car "went into a million pieces."
"I haven't witnessed anything like that in a number of years," Prudhomme said. "The car didn't slow up enough, got airborne, and he happened to hit a post that's virtually impossible to do. ... I would've never thought that you could get airborne and hit that guardrail and hit that post."
The concrete post, Prudhomme said, serves as support for the safety net that's designed to catch cars veering off the strip. Because Kalitta's parachute never deployed, Prudhomme said the car "never had a chance”
-
Was the car already on fire when it hit the post? The parachute is a vital part of the safety equipment. It was at one time mandatory for cars that went over 150 mph.
-
I saw the video on it, feel bad fer not turnin my head.
I don't know what Prudhomme was talking about, both shoots definately deployed. Yes Tex, the car caught fire while he was still on the field, it was internal, the shoots went off immidiately afterwards. All this was before the big impact. I'm sure more accurate information will come out after investigation.
My 15 year old son heard about it and found the footage. Said, "hey Dad check this out". Fore I knew I was seein the thing happen. Told him that was a real person and not a TV show. I hope he understood.

-
Read three sayin’ basically the same thing. I disregarded ‘em until I read the Prudhomme quotes.
One writer said only one chute popped, way past the traps, ‘n it didn’t fill. His speculation was the driver was knocked silly for a second from the explosion ‘n got to the release too late.
The motor went before he hit the traps. Top of the body went with it. Was thinkin’ that’s why I missed the chutes. From the tape, I saw the explosion ‘n the car disappear behind the board. When it cleared the board I just don’t remember seein’ ‘em.
-
Not ta beat this incedent inta the ground, but one other thing I noticed was that the other driver seemed to notice a problem right off the line. He only got up ta about half speed even before the initial fire. It was just odd, the cars were pretty evenly matched. Don't know if they'll every figure this one out.
Leo
-
Once the fire starts, the driver can hit the bottles and sets off an onboard fire suppression system. If the fire gets to the rear of the car, the chutes catch fire also. Scott may have been unconscious at the time and unable to much. After Eric Medlin got killed, John Force did some research and rebuilt the rollcage systems on his cars. This improvment may have saved his life when he crashed at Texas Motoplex in Ennis, Tx. I hope some safety improvments will come out of this tradegy.
-
well you know the saftey has come a long way in the last 30 or 40 years, I can remember the time when almost any kind of wreck could be a fatality, it's cost a lot of lives through the years but they have made it a lot safer, than it was at one time, drag racing and NASCAR both have gained a lot of valuable information from the crashes and they've been smart enough to put it to use.
-
They’ll go thru the pieces. If it’s there to find they will.
Don’t know about the NHRA. NASCAR has ‘em all fitted with black boxes now. Just like an airplane.
Medlin last summer. Force busted up last fall. Kalitta last weekend. That’s a bit much in my ole mind.
-
Maybe a "Black Box" should be mandatory in Top Fuel and Funny Car.
-
Didn’t wanna hi-jack any more of LR’s thread.
The ‘junk when we unloaded’ thing…………
Jeff Gordon described the drivin’ ability of the younger Busch as ‘amazing’. Gordon has won on that track five times he should know. He said Busch passed him ‘n he was slidin’ sideways all over the track, yet he didn’t drop a tire off the pavement once all day.
I don’t care much for the boy. But I have to acknowledge his car control ability. The skinny, ugly kid can drive anything NASCAR on any track NASCAR visits ‘n win. With the win Sunday he’s proved it. Not a backdoor win on pit strategy, he flat wore ‘em out.
Thinkin’ he’s slowly maturin’ under the guidance of ‘The Coach’, Joe Gibbs. Kindah thinkin’ Hendrick wishes he’d let Mears go instead of Busch to make room for Junior.
-
I'm with you on the deal with HMS. Poor Ol Mears couldn't win a race even if he was the only car.
-
I watched the Nationwide race from Loudon. That #20 was the class of the race for last part. It don't seem to matter who drives that thing. All the drivers who have driven it have won.
-
She’s been stout no matter who drives it.
Sittin’ here killin’ time watchin’ this open wheel thing from Richmond. Think the ‘best drivers in the world’ done tore up six cars in forty laps. Oh well. The crummy rednecks in trucks start before long. That’ll be worth watchin’.
-
Make that nine in eighty one laps.
-
That’s it for me. Tore up another two on a re-start ‘n they ain’t hit ninety yet. Makes ya understand why no one to amount to anything watches the stuff.
-
Flipped to the go carts durin’ commercials. Thirteen on the track ‘n one’s fifty two laps down. Half the field, opps, skooze me, ‘grid’, has wrecked out.
-
Ten left on the track in Richmond. That’s some good ‘ricin’’ there………..
-
WOW!!! Nine on the lead lap. Twelve all totaled. Got two rollin’ wrecks back out for points. Fourteen off the track. Winnin’ margin was almost five seconds. Awesome!
Comparin’ the winnin’ margin in the truck race wouldn’t be fair. They finished under a G/W/C. Before the last caution four trucks were within less than six seconds from the leader. Twenty seven on the lead lap ‘n thirty of the thirty five that started were still on the track. Borin’.
All that from the ticker ‘n unofficial.
-
Hornaday got the points lead back. Benson dropped to about 5th in points. I'm really gettin hooked on these truck races. Don't have to watch wonder wimp, or his little buddy.
-
Like the trucks better than Nationwide. Gottah admit the live gate didn’t look very healthy last night.
Benson wound up 4th in points, 56 back. There’s still plenty of races left.
When Johnson came in, a lot of folks tagged ‘im ‘Mini-Me’ meanin’ he was hand picked by Gordon to be his clone. Some of ‘em still use it.
-
I heard that Kurt Busch won at Loudon, rain shortened. I was out TV and outdoor grill shopping all day yesterday. I ready to get back to Daytona.
-
Yeah……
Waltrip second, Yeley third. Pit strategy. Late caution then the rains came. Kindah weird…….
-
Goin' to be grillin' on my new outdoor grill and waiting for the "Big One" to happen at Daytona.
-
Sounds like a good plan Tex.
For me the "Big Three" are the Firecracker, the Brickyard an Daytona. I love all them cars. Used ta watch the Monaco with my Dad but haven't seen one in some years. Loved watchin them tear up real city streets, the cobblestone has make fer a challenge.
Leo
-
Back in the early 60s they would have a race at Daytona prior to the 500. It was called the Permantex 300 and it was for modified Stock cars. There were late 50s and erly 60s models with modified engines. Thet could run 2 4s or 3 duces and a different brand engine. My favorite was a 56 Stude with a 327 chevy motor. The Busch series came in the Late 70s and the Modified Stock cars disappeared.
-
Watched a Hooters Cup replay on Speed Channel from Myrtle Beach, SC. Ol' Sat. night "bullring" with pavement. Arcey, I heard MM is leaving DEI. They didn't say where he might go. Rumors are stirring again about Tony leaving JGR and buying Carl Haas teams. I also heard that he might try to get Newman to go with him as co-owner. Both of them are from Indiana and Newman went to Purdue.
-
Rumors - as of now………
Mears is out. Martin to the 5. Almirola full time in the 8. Newman’s pissed at Penske for the junk they’re givin’ him. Childress still ain’t tippin’ his hand for whoever he has lined up to drive the 33. Stewart’s a loon, ain’t gottah clue what he’s doin’. DEI droppin’ a car from their lineup. The Army is in negotiations with Bill Davis, not to replace Caterpillar but on another car. Sorensen ‘n McMurray in limbo.
Shootin’ Saturday. Should be back here ‘n showered up easy before the race.
-
Arcey, Do you remember those old Permantex 300 races at Daytona? They showed them on WW of sports.
-
Not all that much, no. The ole man was inta modifieds. Sold his part of the operation a l’il while after I was born. Think he wanted to stay away from the temptation. Rarely did he take me ta anythin' other than what's now a cup race.
Do remember Bill Dennis in a Studebaker built ‘n owned by Junie Donlavey outta Richmond winnin’ three or four of ‘em back in the day.
-
I think that was the same one. It looked different out there runnin' with all those Fords and Chevys.
-
Updates:
Ganassi has shut down the 40 team ‘n laid off 70 employees. (That’s true)
Kyle Petty out of the 45 now that Mears may be available next season. (That’s rumor)
-
What's going to happen to my favorite Italian Scotsman?
-
Said Ashley’s husband may run the NNS. He really should have stayed in the less competitive ‘n easier open wheel stuff. He’s in over his head in a stock car.
Got a chuckle outta Ganassi sayin’ if he kept the 40 on the track he was afraid it would drag down his other two cars. One is 20th the other 32nd. Wouldn’t be much of a drag.
-
Sorenson hasn't been runnin' very good either.
-
Thinkin’ Sorenson is better than the car. He’s never been this low in points before. All of his development was in stock cars. He’s won in the NNS.
What I think is happenin’ is Ganassi is puttin’ the biggest effort in money ‘n personnel in the 42. Sorenson ‘n Franchetti, if that’s how it’s spelled, are gettin’ scraps.
Ole Floyd would have been best off keepin’ Stremme. He’s in the top ten in points in the NNS. Drivin’ seconds of Wallace’s kid’s car ‘n they sat him out a race.
-
I Noticed that they have gone to Chevys at Wallace's Nationwide shop. I think that Ganassi feels that Montoya is the future of his team. I'm still not convinced that the Dodges can be competative on a regular basis, other than maybe Everham.
-
Wallace dumped Dodge end of last season. Think Penske cut the support off.
Gottah look at who Dodge is with. Penske doesn’t have a driver close to a championship transfer position. Evernham has one in, for now, his other two are junk. Petty ‘n Ganassi stuff are also rans.
Like Toyota last year. Waltrip ‘n Davis? Mateschitz was the only one serious about winnin’ ’n his was a start up team. They sign Gibbs, Mateschitz gets a couple key people ’n they’re blowin’ Dodge in the weeds.
-
Watch Montoya.
I will not pull down my Mopar flag just yet.
(but then again, I've made a lot of stupid bets in my life)
Leo
-
Bet on Kahne. Montoya is sittin’ 20th in points. With only nine races left ‘n other folks turnin’ up the heat, he ain’t gottah prayer of makin’ the championship run..
-
I'm still hopin that Kenseth will get in. Don't know how focused Stewart is with all the rumors stirring around his future.
-
Kenseth is the only one that’s been in all the chase things. Like ta see ‘em keep that goin’.
Zipadelli ‘n JD both have had about enough of Stewart. Rumors are floatin’ ‘round sayin’ no matter what he decides to do Home Depot is stayin’ on the 20.
-
Only 9 left huh?
The time has been flyin by this year an I have been laggin in the racin department. I hope ta have things back in order fer football. Not too far out now. Course I done fine with the beer drinkin ;D
Leo
-
My bad, Leo. There’s 9 left to what they call the chase. There’s 10 left after that. Only the top 12 in the standings will be eligible for the championship after Richmond.
With racin’ ‘n football, I stay in beer drinkin’ shape year round.
-
Me Too! With NASCAR, FOOTBALL(Pro and College), Rodeo, and the PBR, there's always a reason and a season to drink Beer for.
-
Trouble………
The 1 didn’t fit the templates. NASCAR let ‘em mess with it ‘n it still didn’t fit. NASCAR seized it. They’ve told everyone not to mess with the bodies.
Last trip was wing mounts on the 66 ‘n 70. The penalties were severe including the confiscation of the cars ‘n six race suspensions of the crew chiefs. I expect Bono will be takin' a mid-season vacation.
Other……
The NHRA has cut the track distance down to 1,000 feet for Top Fuel ‘n Funny Car. Effective immediately and indefinitely.
-
That's going to be interesting racing in Top Fuel and Funny Car.
-
The scribblers er sayin’ Truex is pissed. Wonder why……….
Basically, what’s wrong is the roof is too narrow. DEI spokesman said the 1 left the shop fittin’ their templates. Let’s see. Four DEI cars, three passed tech not ta mention the 1 has passed tech all year, so did the backup they’ll have to use. Guess they must have different sets of templates or they’re offerin’ a very weak lie. Did it shrink in the hauler?
The backup had the wrong motor in it. They changed it. It rained ‘n washed out practice. Truex has to hit the track for qualifyin’ dead cold. Not a lap turned in either car in practice.
Why in the name of h*ll would anyone take a car they know may be caught bad ‘n not have the backup ready to hit the track?
Looks ta me ta be plain ‘n simple. They tried to fudge on aero ‘n got caught. Riskin’ that, their backup wasn’t properly prepared to put on the track. If I was Truex I’d be pissed too. Big time.
-
Sounds ta me like they pulled it before an figgured they had the system dialed.
Can't go back in time ta check, but that's the only way I can see em makin such a bold (stupid) move. Heck, it aint their money.
Leo
-
Certainly could be. They’re screwed now. NASCAR doesn’t care why. They’ll accept no excuses. If you present a car for inspection ‘n it ain’t right, it ain’t right. NASCAR already has it for testin’ on their R&D shop. I’m guessin’ no one from DEI will ever see it again.
Rumors again. Truex is makin’ noises he wants to be released. Speculation is if he does Bass Pro Shop goes with him. Army may be snatchin’ their sponsorship of the 8. Martin is gone from their line up next season. Menard is talkin’ with Roush ‘n Yates. If he jumps ship Daddy John ‘n Menard’s Home Improvement goes with him. Things kindah could be dark for DEI.
Figgered this would happen if Junior left.
-
Sounds like DEI was using the #1 car as a guinea pig for the tech boys to see if they could sneak the car by the inspectors.
-
It certainly smells like that Tex.
DEI rolled the bones an lost. Who knows how many others have slipped under the radar. But as Arcey said, they shoulda had somethin viable fer him ta drive when the excarment hit the fan.
-
…..’n that begs the question. Why Truex ‘n the 1? That’s their only shot at makin’ the chase. A point penalty is comin’. It’s gonna do all but kill those chances. If yer gonna take a chance ‘n ya got four cars, why not do it with the 01? That teams in jeopardy of bein’ shut down for next season anyway.
Hard time believin’ they’d pull this stunt. They’re supposed ta be pros thinkin’ this crap out.
-
I don't think that they wanna admit how much it hurt the operation when Little E left.
-
I watched the last 30 laps of th NNS at Daytona. That 20 car seems to be unbeatable once it gets the lead, no matter who's drivin' it. MM is drivin' for HMS for the next 2 years. I wish him the best, he deserves to win a championship. This is probaly his last and best chance to do it.
-
What amazes me about the whole thing is Dave Rogers’ ability on the box. Don’t know that I could put up with the egos of Busch, Hamlin ‘n Stewart then turn right around ‘n work with a rookie in the person of Logano. Learn to interpret the driver input of four different ones, make the right adjustments ‘n pit calls.
Damn. Win 9 of 11. Unheard of these days. May have been 10 had Keselowski ‘n Earnhardt not smacked it in the hind end, twice, under caution at Charlotte knockin’ it outtah whack. Still finished second.
-
The Chevy teams in NNS say that the TOYO's are makin about 15 more horses than the small block chevy. They want NNS to let them go to the new chevy engine to be more competative. This might put things on a more level playing field. That 20 car is almost "bullet-proof".
-
Listened to Hendrick whine over the horsepower. He ain’t forgot how to whine like he did over spoiler differences before common templates. Guess he longs for the days of havin’ a horse power advantage hisownself. No more can be expected out of a thief ‘n a liar.
Then they talk to his new main man, Junior. He cited the JGR hard work on aero ‘n their cars ability to out run the field on old tires as the key. Said he had the fastest car but it wouldn’t hold on a long run. Looks like they didn’t get their stories straight before the reporters got to ‘em. Then again I’ve never seen Junior as a liar.
Funny ‘nuff I almost lost my beer.
-
The lack of HP in the NNS and the fact they haven't got the COT figured out. I think Hendrick is frustrated that his cars are not consistant or dominat right now.
-
Wonder what happened. HMS had the car figgered out last season. He ain’t doin’ nothin’ but echoin’ the party line ‘n usin’ the media ta lobby NASCAR. His folks are gettin’ out worked in the shop ‘n his drivers are gettin’ out driven on the track. We’ll hafta disagree, my friend.
On ‘nother subject - I’ll just, heh, heh, go head ‘n concede ta the ‘experts’. NASCAR drivers ‘n NASCAR in general, is inferior to the greats of open wheel racin’.
One of ‘em this afternoon lost it out of the pit stall, ran into another’s pit stall with crew still over the wall, hit’s a tire layin’ in the pit stall (safety hazard, illegal in NASCAR) front end of the car flies in the air ‘n the wing breaks off when the car hits the ground.
The driver? The one, the only, the greatest, the history makin’, beautiful, captivating godaddy.com girl – Danica. Reckon that goes with her collection of three similar pit road accidents last season.
Hope to see some more of them open wheel thingys this season. They’re funny as all heck.
-
I like the open wheel racing on dirt tracks. The WOO, Silver Crown, Midgets, IMCA, and Late Models.
-
Barely remember dirt. Moyock ‘n Richmond. I don’t remember Chinese Corner at all. I know I was there ‘cus they told me so. There’s dirt track on 17 I drive by on the way to my daughter’s place. Looks like it’s very neat ‘n well maintained but I ain’t never been. There was another on 58 that went belly up.
Reckon ‘round here we’re just as snobbish in a way as anyone else is. Folks my age ‘n younger grew up watchin’ full bodied cars on pavement. Don’t like the winged things. Never get ta see the Silver Crown stuff. Ain’t seen midgets since they ran ‘em inside Scope or the Coliseum, that was fun. I don’t know what IMCA is.
The thing Stewart did for charity, that I so appreciate, I don’t understand the need of a body. Kindah dumb lookin’. The rumors, six, eight weeks ahead said he was tired of losin’ his race ‘n he wouldn’t this year cuz his car wouldn’t be legal. Sure looked that way from what I saw of the free replay. Was doin’ paperwork while it was on. Turned it off when I finished the paperwork.
The irl is a joke. Their drivers aren’t the best. The leadership is incompetent. Without the Indianapolis race ‘n Patrick for the media ta hype they’re a memory. Short fields, short races, short schedule. short live attendance ‘n next to no TV ratings. NASCAR publishes their figures, the irl doesn’t. I will admit I get a lot of chuckles watchin’. Folks complain the stock cars all look the same. In irl they are the same. All they can do is tune the kit they put together. Can’t even open the crate motors they get.
Back when I was a kid, I loved ‘Indy’. Make it fast as you can ‘n bring it on. Them days are gone.
This is all just me. Don’t make it right. Want all race folks to enjoy their choice.
-
Arcey, IMCA is a modified series. They may not have them in VA. It's big out here. The cars are sorta like Late Models without the front part of the body. They kinda remind me of the old super modifieds of the 60s. Tube chassis witha SB Chevy. I heard a quote by Boyer after the NNS race. He said a monkey could win driving the 20 car.
-
Arcey, Here's a web-site for the IMCA. www. IMCA.com
-
They have a 1/2 mile dirt track up at Ft. Smith, every Saturday night it's packed, dirt tracks are real popular around here, used to be a 1 mile dirt track over in Muskogee, they'd run Sprint cars 4 or 5 times a year. rest of the time it was Modifiieds and what they called hobby stocks, get ya a late 60's or 70's model car pop out the windows put in a screen, strip out the insides and add a bucket seat and roll bars, there would be at least a 60 of em every Friday night. it was a real popular class.
-
We had the sprints. 390 I believe, then they added a 410 class. It was a big deal, the 410's. Moved away from the area just in time ta find they had banned em from the fairgrounds up here. Used ta like ta sit close enough that dirt would would end up in yer beer if ya didn't keep yer hand over it.
The "tough trucks" were fun too. Ametures runnin what they brung out on the dirt field. Can't remember what the prize was, but those guys sure punished themselves and there rides fer it. I'm sure that's banned now too. Best we got now is "Fast Fridays" where guys run old 2 stroke Bultaco motorcycles with no brakes on the dirt. It's only 5 bucks ta get in an yer actualy there. Somethin about that beats TV 1000 ta 1 ;)
Leo
-
Sounds like the enduro stuff they used to do at Langley. Run ‘em ‘til one was still runnin’. Leave the wrecked ones on the track.
Bowyer swiped the monkey line from Jack Roush. 20 or no 20, Bowyer is first in NNS points by a bundle. Followed by another Chevrolet then a Ford before ya get to the first Toyota. The 20 leads in owners’ points as did the 29 last year at this time. No one was whinin’ about Chevrolet horsepower.
The season is at half way. Kyle Busch stands with five wins ‘n the point lead. Half way to Johnson’s ten wins 'n championship last season. No one was whinin’ about Chevrolet horsepower over that either.
I’ll hold JGR is out workin’ ‘em. His Toyotas are winnin’. If they had such a horsepower advantage there’s enough on the track they should be at least half of the top ten every week. They ain’t.
-
JGR is the class of the Toyo's, they beating everyone, including other Toyo teams. The Red Bull team making progress to catch up. The Toyo trucks are dominant in the Craftsman series. Davis is the dominant Toyo truck team. Toyota is using all it's tech support for the teams moreso than Chevy. The bar has been raised by Toyota.
-
Boys, I fouled up. Went lookin’ for news on the 1 ‘n saw the mistake. Kyle Busch has six wins this year. There goes my credibility………
One of the issues mentioned by JGR in the switch was a lack of a technology flow from GM to his team. Whether it was perception or reality there was a sense it wasn’t happenin’.
They went from third string GM to first string Toyota. When Daytona rolled ‘round last February ‘n things were lookin’ bad for MWR makin’ the race, JGR sent their best front end tech to Waltrip to set ‘em up. All three made it in. I think stuff like that, cooperation between all of ‘em, is startin’ to pay off. No significant horsepower advantage. No magic. Sweat ‘n blood.
-
Ok, I know racin' is still the order of the day, but I'm chompin at the bit ta see the pigskins fly come the exabitions.
The draft looks interestin this year. Watch the Falcons. Ryan an Douglas may be a dream team, hard ta say just yet. As usual, I'll pull fer the Steelers, it's in the blood. Pickin up a couple good running backs this year, but not much expected from the team overall just yet. I'm not a fairweather fan, so I'm stuck with em ;)
What can I say, it's good inta July already an this stuff is right around the corner. It's always a treat each season ta see how long it takes Lil ta go from a "die hard" Raiders fan ta cussin em. ;D I'm just gettin excited I guess.

Leo, It's too hot to talk Football, get back to me in Oct. I would rather watch College ball rather than pro.
-
On a football note, Michael Vick, AKA Ookie, is delclarin’ bankruptsy.
Enjoy yer li’l hobby, Ookie? I reckon ya kin take the thug out the project but ya can’t take the project out the thug.
-
Knew the whack was gonna leave a big, red, ugly welt.
Truex was docked 150 driver championship points as his portion of sweeping penalties handed out as a result of Truex's No. 1 Dale Earnhardt Inc. Chevrolet failing to meet NASCAR's roof templates during prequalifying inspection last Thursday for the Coke Zero 400 at Daytona International Speedway.
The loss of 150 points drops Truex from 14th to 18th in the Cup standings, 238 points behind 12th-place Tony Stewart, who holds the last Chase-eligible position with eight races left before the field for the Chase is set Sept. 6 at Richmond.
In addition, NASCAR fined crew chief Kevin Manion $100,000, suspended him for six races and from NASCAR activities until Aug. 27, and placed him on probation through Dec. 31. Car chief Gary Putnam received the same suspensions and probation, but no fine.
Car owner Teresa Earnhardt was docked 150 car owner points, dropping the No. 1 Chevy from 14th to 19th in the owner standings.
None of the articles I read mentioned the return of the car.
-
Leo, It's too hot to talk Football, get back to me in Oct. I would rather watch College ball rather than pro.
Well that's what's fun about the draft. All yer good seniors movin on ta the show. I'll let it go fer now, but there's a lot ta happen 'fore that first autum leaf falls.
Back ta the racin'...
-
Arcey, I think they kept the 70 and 66, so I guess they plan on keepin' the 1 also.
-
Sher is hell what I was thinkin'. But Hunter was runnin' his mouth prior to the announcement that the 66 'n 70 were designed to be changed after tech. They returned the one they siezed from JGR a couple years ago with the body cut off 'n the motor missin'. The motor didn't have anything to do with it. Never can tell what that bunch is gonna do.
-
I guess those guys can pretty well do what they want to do and the teams and owners don't have much sayso.
-
Well, so much for the worst kept secret. Tony and JGR are parting company at the end of 2008. He is going to buy into or purchase Haas/CNC Racing. He is gutting the shop, changing the #'s of the cars. They will drive Chevys and Newman is #1 candidate to drive the other car and Tony will drive one. Looks like they are going to put Lagano in the #20 and keep Home Depot. As of now, Zippy is staying with JGR.
-
I like it!
Should be interestin’. Stewart went into open wheel in the best equipment. He had the best stuff when he got into stock cars. Next year, no Home Depot money. No JGR support. No Zipadelli willin’ ta put up with his ego. Now he’s gettin’ in junk ‘n I don’t think he’ll have a clue where to start.
I reckon Gene Haas is still stinkin’ rich. If his fines are paid perhaps he can still move his private funds from jail.
What’s funny is rememberin’ his dump on Waltrip for finishin’ his time on the track as a loser. When Stewart hangs it up, he’ll be way short of Waltrip’s win total ‘n one championship short too.
Hehehehehe.. This time next year, can we say ‘reality check’?
-
Arcey, The rest of "Silly Season" will be interesting.
-
Yeah… Geez… Musical chairs…
I was kindah rough on the irl a while back, But damn,seriously. They’re strugglin’ on a number of fronts. Sponsors with good money are hard to come by even in NASCAR in this economy. Sponsors ‘n TV ratin’s go hand in hand. Sponsors want lottsa TV watchers.
Whoever made the decision to put their race on opposite of the cup race tomorrow evenin’ needs to be evaluated. They’re gonna get killed ‘n that’s with the cup race on cable.
-
Yep, I forgot about the NNS race being on last night. Saw the Winner's Circle celebration. Toyo's 1 and 2.
-
Don’t know what ya saw. Toyotas were 4 of the top 5. NASCAR snatched nine motors from the 4 manufacturers to carry to Concorde for testin’.
Hamlin 2nd after startin’ last. Right rear spring jumped the perch in qualifyin’. How in the hell he kept from wreckin’ it I’ll never know.
Keselowski was sicker’n a dog but he managed 3rd. The Navy has informed JRM they won’t be back as the sponsor next year.
Vickers 4th. Loose wheel, again. Had to stop early. Speedin’, again. Lost two laps but he made e’m up.
Reutimann was gone in the beginnin’. The pit folks couldn’t keep up with the track. Reutimann is startin' ta sound more'n just a l'il frustrated.
Stewart was drivin’ the 20. Missed a gear on the start ‘n Harvick knocked the crap outtah him. Neither car was right after that. Stewart 9th, Harvick 18th.
-
The Roush cars my have something for the #18 tonight. I don't care who wins, as long as it's not Wonder Wimp and his lil' buddy.
-
Toyota horsepower my rosy red patoot. That was all driver.
-
Arcey, I saw an ad on TV last night about body powder. It's called "Monkey Butt" and is supposed to cure your "rosy red pattot".
-
Thanks butt I won’t use anything ‘cept Boudreaux's Butt Paste.
Might wanna suggest it ta Johnson though. Pretty sure his’n is good ‘n red this mornin’ after havin’ Busch up it on that last restart.
-
Him and Wonder Wimp always try to pull something cute on the restart. It seems to me that they have made those two the poster boys for Nascar. It makes me sick how the announcers and commentators "brown nose" those two. Kyle Busch is a welcome change from those two squirrels.
-
Tex, mi amigo. Thinkin’ I’ve been clear on my dislike for all things Hendrick. But I gottah give credit where it’s due. Gained a small, very small, measure of respect for Johnson last night. He admitted he made mistakes on the last restart that cost him the race. Said he was mad at himself. Congratulated Busch on the win. In this day of ‘it’s never my fault’ that was refreshin’.
As much as I enjoy seein’ a JGR car whip hiney, Busch is hard to like. In a pre-race interview it was pointed out he was gettin’ more cheers and less boos. He said he really wasn’t concerned with that. Thinkin’ I would have said I was very appreciative of that ‘n I was workin’ hard to gain fan support that I know my attitude has damaged in the past.
Never let anyone know I said it, but Johnson ‘n Gordon both have more positive character in their little fingers than both Busch brothers have in their entire bodies.
-
I'm not a Hendrick fan now or ever, Wonder Wimp and his lil' buddy are a couple of whiners when things don't go their way. I am very sorry that Little E joined that bunch, but what is done is done. I've never liked Wonder Wimp. I think wants to be able to intimidate other drivers like Sr. did. It ain't ever gonna happen. He's a PUNK, first and foremost. I would pay good money to put my foot up his butt.
-
Jeez Tex, don beat around the Busch ;D
Let us know how ya really feel 'bout Da Wimp.
-
I thought I did, Leo.
-
Yes, you certainly did.
-
Unfortunately, I am very opinionated when it comes to NASCAR and the drivers. I like most of them, most of the ones i have followed, are retired. I have adopted Dale Jr as my favorite. He's not a whiner like Jeffy or Jimmy. I watched my first Nascar race at Daytona in 1963.
-
Pretty good source. Newman is gone from Penske next season.
-
It looks like two boys from Indiana may be getting together next year.
-
What I thought odd was Penske decided not to re-sign him. Like to have the detail on that one. Penske directs too much effort to the minor leagues.
Speakin’ of the latest ‘n greatest new combination for ’09, Stewart-Haas. Read an article by a former full time NASCAR reporter who does ‘real news’ now. He was sayin’ if it wasn’t the ‘truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth’ it wasn’t worth reporting.
Then he writes about Stewart buying into Haas. Guess he does his research by reading a couple articles by other reporters who, like him, either didn’t read the quotes from or pay any attention to the press conference. Custer hisownself or Stewart. Stewart was GIVEN 50% as part of the deal to make the jump from JGR.
Rumors were Newman had been offered a deal involving partial ownership in a team. When asked about that Custer said Haas had no plans to transfer any shares to other drivers.
Hey, Mr. ‘Real News’ reporter, sir! Here’s your sign!
-
AH! the Newis Media, what would we do without them?
-
Well, No Cups races till Indy. This weekend is NNS and Craftsman Truck Series. The NNS series is at Gateway which is near ST. LOUIS. The Craftman Truck Series at Kentucky is usually a good race to watch. The points race in the Truck Series is close right now. The points lead can change from race to race. So Arcey and I will have some racin' to watch and some Bud Light to drink.
-
Glad of it. Hehehehe. With all the speculation on silly season I’m gettin’ a l’il dizzy..
-
Programs! Get Ya Programs! You can't tell one from other without a program.
-
Truex ? Mears? Newman? Where are thiese foks gonna be next year? Inquiring minds want to know.
-
Tex, the writers with ’special inside’ info are in a feedin’ frenzy. Hate ta repeat some of it.
Newman to Stewart I’ll buy. Mears quittin’ stock cars ‘n goin’ back ta open wheel might happen if he can’t get a ride in NASCAR ‘n a seat opens over there. Heck, ya listen ta all of ‘em ‘n Truex will be drivin’ three cars next year.
Best news I’ve heard I can count on is Sarah Fisher gettin’ Dollar General on board for a couple races so she can put her open wheeler back on the track.
-
She's had some ruff goin' since before Indy. IRL has just about ruined the concept of the "little man" in racing. They just can't compete without big money.
-
I just checked some of the entries in the Truck race at Kentucky. Some of the drivers are from the Dallas area. For a long time, David Starr was the only Texas drivers. I don't think we will ever have a driver from Texas that will come close to the legacy of AJ Foyt. Whether you loved him or hated him, he was one hell of a driver in anything he got behind the wheel of.
-
Starr has a personality ‘n an attitude ya kindah gottah like. Pissed me off big time over the cheap shot Lia put on ‘im in Ohio. He didn’t complain but it wasn’t hard to see the disappointment.
Todd Bodine called it right ‘n I saw it the way he did. I’d ah been Starr someone would have had to restrain me from goin’ after a hunk of Lia’s backsides when I got outtah the truck.
-
Arcey, Back in the early 80's, I worked security at a 1/4 mile dirt track on Fri and Sat. nights. We had to break up more fights in the pits than we ever had in the stands. They allowed drinking in the stands and not in the pits.
-
I'd rather have ta go toe ta toe with a drunk in the stands than a man in the pit with bleeding knuckles.
-
If I ain’t told it before. In the pits after a race at Langley. Tommy Ellis (brief cup career) punched Emanual Zervakis (that’s probably spelled wrong, old timer, had his hand in everything NASCAR) Zervakis spun ‘n went down face first into an open trailer. He looked like he’d been in an accident with no seat belt. Bloody mess. Tommy went to jail.
That was when the NNS were late models. Been to a lot of fights but was the worst one punch damage I’ve ever seen.
-
I haven't heard anything about Tommy in a long time, drove #18, as I remember. Arcey, I'm havin' a cold Bud Light and watchin' the Truck practice.
-
I was too. Found this while I was watchin’:
(http://www.mnacreations.com/Models/Nascar/1986/TommyEllis/86Freedlander/EllisFreedlander_06.JPG)
Ellis ran Langley regular ‘n usually won. Dirty racer there. Took out Joe Faulk (owned a cup team a couple years) one evenin’. They got it rollin’ again ‘n Joe drove around the bottom waitin for Tommy ‘n Lord knows how many times he hit ‘im. Hehehehe! I mean he pushed Tommy sideways across the infield. Ain’t never heard that crowd cheerin’ that loud.
-
Arcey, I've watchin' a replay of the ARCA race from KY. Toyos ran 1 and 2. RedBull car won. That's a neat picture of that diecast. Ireally loved those old MC Aerocoupes. I would like to have one of those #18 cars. Those durn Toyos are outrunning folks in every series they run in.
-
Yep. That 200 ta 300 more horsepower sher did help. Lucky guesses on pit strategy didn’t make no difference in gettin’ the 2 ‘n 01 out front. Quickest car all e’enin’ was Kimmel’s Roush Ford.
Stenhouse was strong ‘til one of them mall-walkin’, gum poppin’, trashy lookin’ Cope twins spun ‘n kicked crap up on the track he knocked the crap outtah the valance of his Roush Ford with.
Hope whoever was responsible for that l’il publicity stunt with those two freakin’ girls are real proud of themselve(s) this mornin’.
Neither of the dreaded Toyotas er lookin’ like giant killers in NNS or NCTS final practices yestiddy. Time, pit calls ‘n tore up sheet metal will tell.
-
Arcey, Are the twins any kin to Derrick?
-
Hearin' he's their uncle......
-
Well , Given the consistency of the #20 car, Lagano has got to be the favorite for the NNS at St. Louis. In the Truck race, you got about 5 trucks Busch, Hornaday, Benson, Bodine, and Skinner are my 5 to watch.
-
Thinkin’ Sprague is kindah due. Fastest yestiddy.
They’ve taken Hensley away from Skinner. That was a long time relationship. Don’t think the 5 will be a factor.
All said ‘n done I’ll go with Busch.
-
The Toyo's are the favorite in the Trucks, Hornaday is always a darkhorse.
-
I just finished watchin the last half of the NNS race at St. Louis. Cousin Carl won, the 99 and 88 were strong until they wrecked. They just couldn't get that 20 right all night.
-
Well, I didn't get to watch much of the Truck race. I checked the summary this morning. Benson won and went back to the points lead. KB finished 6th, and Hornaday finished in top 10. He dropped to 3rd in points.
-
Trucks weren’t bad. Benson stunk it up once he got out front. The move to get it out front was sumthin’, four wide fightin’ for it. Chrissy was doin’ good but someone needs to climb her rear end this mornin’. When yer a vet ya don’t screw with JACK SPRAGUE, ya sure as hell don’t do it as a rookie. Male, female, he don’t care. For Heaven’s sake, girl! When he’s PO’ed from havin’ mechanical trouble anyway, pass ‘im clean er follow ‘til ya can. Don’t try ta rough house ‘im out the way!
Looked ta me the 20 wasn’t right early on. Then again Logano’s been testin’ cup cars ‘n ain’t been in a NNS car for awhile ‘n I was thinkin’ some of it could be him but whaddah I know. Hated the thing between the 99 ‘n 88. Gettin’ so I’m gettin’ tired of Bowyer’s whinin’. Glad ta see his lead shrinkin’.
-
He's startin' to sound like Wonder Wimp and his lil buddy.
-
Damned if that ain't the truth. Maybe he took lessons.
-
Would you like some CHEESE with that WHINE, clint?
-
Smack ‘im upside the head with the cuttin’ board………
Sure ain’t nothin’ shakin’ worth talkin’ ‘bout goin’ on.
Dyno numbers after Chicago’s NNS race were talked ‘bout on radio. Ain’t trustin’ it ‘til it’s backed up. Was sayin’ it was the 99, 18, two unidentified Roush Fords then the 20. Top five in the tests, ten HP difference first to last. My guess on the Fords would be the 60 ‘n the 6.
No credible talk of who may land in which seat. The appellate board upheld the penalties on the 1. NASCAR still has the car but no word of if they’re plannin’ on keepin’ the thing.
-
From what I read about the test, the Fords seem to produce just about as much as the Toyos. I figure Jack has been burnin' alot of midnight oil to get ahead of the Toyos on performance. The Toyos seem to set the bar pretty high, now everyone has to scramble to catch up. The guy that is over the Toyos used to work for Jack and there has been friction between them.
-
Hehehe… Ennybody werkin’ fer Roush ‘n left done so without friction?
Goes back ta the whinin’. ‘Fore he ‘n Hendrick were whinin’ ‘bout Toyota power, Roush was whinin’ ‘bout the other three havin’ new motors approved ‘n he was still runnin’ the old one. Dime to a donut he knew what he had ‘n what JGR had before those tests were ever run.
-
Sure wish I was gonna be at Indy this weekend for the Brickyard Nascar race. That's a special place for a real racin' fan. I've never been up there for the Nascar race. WE used to get free tickets to the INDY 500 ever year. My Dad was a real fan of the roadsters of the 50's and the early 60's. The suoercharged 4 cylinder Offenhauser engine runnin' on racin' fuel.
-
For a southeastern kid interested in racing, Darlington was the ultimate.
NASCAR is chokin’ down the Toyotas. That’s why I wrote I didn’t trust that info I had the other day.
Numbers published by NASCAR: Toyota 632, Dodge 628, Chevrolet 612 ‘n Ford 611. Reckon no one told the 60 it was 21 horsepower down last weekend.
-
Arcey, There are only 3 classic tracks, INDY, DAYTONA, and of course DARLINGTON. I've been to all three, but I've never seen a race at Darlington. I'm gonna remedy that when I retire. I heard that they're takin' 3 % of the Toyos HP for the NNS series. Cup oughta be next.
-
That I dunno. Would think NASCAR put ‘em on the dyno with the smaller plates ta adjust it.
Wouldn’t bother me at all if the Dodge hadn’t been within four. Looks ta me sumbody needs to work harder. Also looks like NASCAR said, ‘OK, Jack, Rick. How small do ya want the plates on the foreigners?’
Nothin’ has changed except the names of the players. Whinin’ is cheaper than R&D.
-
Break out the WHINE and CHEESE!
-
Too late. They already have ‘n like a spoiled child they got what they wanted. Oh well.
-
Those Toyo folks are crafty, they will come up with sumpin' new.
-
Well, looks like the JGR cars won again, this time it was the 18 instead the usual 20 car. Lagano finished 9rh, Cousin Carl 11th, and 88 finshed in the Top 20.
-
Clint is still holdin' the lead by 173 points over the 88. Cousin Carl is only 7 points behind in 3rd. Carl should be in second in a week or two.
-
The 60 runs hot ‘n cold. Looks like the 2 has gone into a prevent defense. The 18, the way it looked, just ran fast ‘nuff ta stay ahead of the 16. Good run for Braun thou. Especially with one them underpowered Fords what won the week before. Was real happy with Gale’s finish ‘n hope Harvick sticks with ‘im.
Almost time fer race #20. Shut the pre-race stuff off. Got me a l’il #3 Goodwrench key fob hangin’ off the mirror of the truck since it was new. I know he’s gone. Don’t need a slobberin’ Childress tellin’ tear jerkers. Let ‘im rest.
-
The tires are gonna be a problem, might be a lotta guys in the wall today.......... ::) :o 8)
-
Sounds like Richard is just gettin' a little sentmental. Him and Dale spent a lot of time together, on the track and off the track. As you get older, you remember when you were young and things were maybe not as complicated as now.
-
The track surface is rough and tough on the tires. They are going to let the teams an extra set or two of tires for the race because of this. Tire wear and fuel mileage are going to be important.
-
Tire limitations don’t apply to cup.
Hope the hype’s over. Stewart could see is father in the stands - yeah, sure.. Nowhere else do they kiss the bricks after the race – NOWHERE ELSE HAS BRICKS! Yep ESPN is back. My mute button is ‘bout wore out.
-
Is it over yet?
Wonder if they’d consider doin’ what the mighty open wheelers do. When yer race is tankin’ change it to a timed event as they did yesterday? I’d be happy if they’d stop this thing in ten minutes.
This is, quite probably, the worst race I’ve seen in a very long time. Leave this place to the glorified go carts.
-
Well JJ won. I think cousin carl's car would have caught him in a couple more laps. Carl's car was better in the longer runs. JJ had the best car since they unloaded on Thursday. So I guess it wasn't a stretch for JJ to win. Hamlin seemed to be the best Toyo. Glad to Eliot and the Roush cars(except 17) run up front.
-
Ain’t seen the finishin’ order yet. I’ll look later. Last third was on radio. Had things ta do. Much as I enjoy racin’ ten laps ‘n a caution kindah stinks. Ain’t racin’.
Don’t remember ever turnin’ an race event off ‘til taday.
-
Arcey, Maybe Pocono will be better.
-
Hehehehe… It’s gottah be. Least ways it’s o’er ‘til next year.
On the good news side, the Mexico thing for the NNS ain’t on the schedule for next season. They’re givin’ that date ta Iowa.
-
That's good for the Iowa Track. It's a good lookin track for the NNS. Iowa is big time WOO country. They've already got a good racin' fan base. A lot of racin' in the Midwest. People will pay to see em run up there.
-
Ain’t seen much of the place. What I have seen looks real nice. At 7/8 of a mile, kindah like Richmond, it’s my kindah race track. Tight, up close ‘n personal. Should be a hoot.
-
As long as I keep my Dish and am still working full time, visiting these tracks will have to wait.
-
Heck, ain’t even thinkin’ ‘bout goin’. Much nicer here. Like yesterday. Rotten race, wasn’t 1,400 miles away from home, went ‘n did sumthin’ else.
Last I went to live was Richmond. Practice ‘n qualifyin’ cost ya an empty Winston pack ‘n they gave ya a fresh pack for it. Four or five of us in a pard’s Suburban, all cops. Split up the gas didn’t cost much. We’d hit the KFC where Kyle Boush was charged with reckless drivin’ ‘n get a bucket. Beer was in the cooler from the night before. There was an intermission so ya had time ta eat, grab a beer or three ‘n hit the souvenir trailers. Sit anywhere ya wanted. No parkin’ fee. Be home by 1900 easy.
The place changed hands. Charged for everything. Could put up with that, ya get what ya pay for. But they roped ya in. Kept the fans crowded up on the front stretch. That I wasn’t puttin’ up with. Ain’t been back.
-
I had a problem one time going to the drag races at Ennis. I had some glass bottle DP's in my cooler. They told me I couldn't bring em in. I took the cooler back to my truck. I poured one of the DP's into a plastic cup. One of the folks at the gate grabs my cup and starts to smell it. There's nuthin in there but DP. You couldn't bring any beer in, had to buy their's at 3 times the price. I left after the races were over with a bad taste in my mouth from my treatment at the track. I never went back and will never go back.
-
Whutcha know? The boy what runs the thing in Indiana is sayin’ the whole problem with the waste of an afternoon Sunday is NASCAR’s. Thinkin’ if I were NASCAR I’d let ‘im hear the sound of silence next August ‘n see what kindah song he sings then.
Reckon he mustah fergot the f1 debacle a couple years ago.
The open wheel folks on the board say he’s an idiot. Thinkin’ they’re probably right.
In case he’s readin’ along……. HEY TONY, YER TRACK SURFACE SUCKS!
-
Formula 1 ain't runnin there anymore. Indy wasn't made for 3800 lb stock cars. It's a big famous track and there is a big fan base in Indiana. Big bucks for NASCAR!
-
Would imagine the track might make a buck or two. We may disagree but I’m more than reasonably sure George needs NASCAR much worse than NASCAR needs him. Hell, he had to pay folks to enter the open wheel thing for the last few years to fill his fields out. Made it this year on the merger.
If the place is unsuitable for anything but Danicacars then keep the other stuff off it.
To me it isn’t about NASCAR or the relic. It’s about 200,000+ fans who put out hard earned bucks to see a race, they got screwed ‘n he’s sayin’, ‘Whoa, ain’t my job, man’, for the second time. When Smith fouled Charlotte up he repaved it before the next race.
-
It's always about the money and he needs Nascar to keep that thing open. It's not like it was in the 50s and early 60s when it was the popular form of racin. Most folks hadn't been exposed to stock car racin.
-
Wasn’t tryin’ ta be a smartass. My bias shows. Other Execs of the track, NASCAR, Goodyear ‘n their kid sisters have apologized for it. Just George with a false arrogance deviates from the norm.
Even with the economy down NASCAR is the 800 pound gorilla when it comes to racin’ in America. If I was bleedin’ money ‘n needed revenue they’d generate, I wouldn’t be rattlin’ the cage.
They’re gettin’ a slight bump in the live gate ‘n thou pathetic, their TV ratin’s are goin’ up since the merger. I don’t expect it to last
My opinion only. I’m glad. Maybe some day the Indianapolis Five Hundred will be composed of 33 of the best cars the builders can develop like they were when we were kids ‘n not the kit cars they have now. Cars built with today’s safety standards. I never want to see a sight like Sachs ‘n McDonald again. Swede Savage tryin’ ta crawl out of the wreckage. I was just a kid.
Maybe the gimmick of Danicamania will be gone. An Andretti kid that can’t drive sits on the sidelines.
Paul Tracy. Hasn’t driven since last year. Gets into a thrown together car with a thrown together team at the last minute ‘n finishes fourth. That’s the type of driver I wanna see run. ‘N he’s past his prime. Throw down big bucks to get the french guy that killed ‘em in CC back. Everybody loved to see ‘im get beat.
Make it a serious race for serious racers once again ‘n it will retake it’s place in the world of racin’.
-
Well said! SIR!
-
‘Skins win the Hall of Fame Game. Know it’s pre-season but the HoF means a l’il more. ‘Sides that, as a ‘Skins fan, I’ll take a win anywhere I can get it.
Thanks for the game, Buck. Hope it didn’t put y’all out too much.
-
Arcey, I didn't watch the game, how did Jason Taylor do?
-
Missed most of the 1st quarter didn’t see ‘im on the field. Saw ‘im on the sidelines with his pads off rootin’ for the home team was all.
-
Didn't put me out none, Arcey, I stayed way aways from that stuff. ::) :o
Jason Taylor, a University of Akron grad. He wasn't in at all I believe, not sure what the deal was. Colt's without Manning have no offense. The two QB's they fielded were next to useless..................Buck 8) ::)
-
Payton makes the Colts go and if he ain't playin', they are below average. I know they gotta look at other players and these pre-season games don't mean much. I didn't know where he played college ball at.
-
So I'm guessin it aint too hot ta talk football anymore ;D
I kept up with the drafts, they went well fer a die hard Steelers fan ;)
Leo
-
Now that tha gangsta's, thugs an' criminals are back to tha PRO gridiron I reckon it woan be long til tha college games start up.
-
SoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooWeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee HOGS
;D
-
OT, Don't call the Hogs around Moose, She went to Baylor and UA beat them terrible when they were both in the old SW conference.
-
I know what ya mean, I have a cousin that graduated from Baylor, she don't want to hear that either. She's a Doctor now down at the Baylor Insitiute for Rehabilitation.
Her Offical title down there is the Associate Medical Director for Traumatic Brain Injury Services, Baylor Institute for Rehabilitation,
I guess that's the side of the family that applied theirselvs :o ;D didn't fool around none of them old Cowboys and Guns like some of us did. ;D
-
Now that tha gangsta's, thugs an' criminals are back to tha PRO gridiron I reckon it woan be long til tha college games start up.
Every year.......
The pros get the thugs, gangstas 'n criminals from college. The 'student athlete playin' for the love of the game' is as much of a myth as the crap some those 'experts' profess about Black Powder in the Den. Ask Frank Beamer. He's real good at draftin' 'em outtah high school. Ain't no secret.
-

I agree on most all counts....... jist seems that the Pro $$$$ bring out the "badass" attitude to the extreme.
AND......... there are those like Tiki Barber and his brother, plus many others, who are credits to the game and should be the role models that youngsters look up to.
The thugs, gangstas an' criminals get the press coverage.
-
Brett went to Green Bay today.
Slim
-
I knew Ol' Brett weren't done YET!
-
We'll see if he stays at Green Bay.
Slim
-
He might be a Viking in a few days.
-
Gottah give it ta Tex. He called it while Favre was still cryin’ durin’ his retirement announcement.
-
The fire still burns in Brett to compete, maybe he thinks that he can win another SB, just not with GB.
-
He loves the game.
Slim
-
The last thing I heard last night was that he left training camp.
-
Heard that on Fox last evenin’ too.
Hearin’ GB offered him twenty million ta stay retired. They don’t want ‘im anywhere in the NFC North. The only place they can agree on for a trade is Tampa.
Grain of salt source.
-
Heck for $20 mil, I'd stay retired fer 2 years! ::)
-
Poopers…….
Gimme a million a year fer the rest of my life ‘n I’d disappear, n’er ta be seen around a football game again.
-
That's what I was thinkin. Love a the game er not, go out with style an don't risk gettin hurt no more.
Mebbe he ought a sit down an watch the footage of Thighsman's knee blow out a few times. Collect the 20 mil and make commercials like Namoth an Montana. Just my opinion.
Leo
-
Racin’ tit bits:
Pullin’ Smith for Fellows in the 01. Seems a shame. Smith has driven his butt off tryin’ ta keep that DEI left-overs car in the top 35. They’ve entered Smith in an 81 car. He’ll have to get in on speed. Rumors popped up today sayin’ the 81 has been withdrawn.
Yeley’ll watch PJ Jones drive the 96. Not a bad deal for HoF. Yeley couldn’t get the car in the field for the last road thing. Jones should be able to get it in. If he does ‘n ‘Dinger doesn’t get the 84 in they could gain significant owner’s points on the 37th spot..
-
If that was Theisman yer talkin’ ‘bout it was a compound fracture of the lower right leg. Clean breaks, both bones. It was ugly.
I had ta werk. Watched it happen while hidin’ in a downtown parkin’ lot in an unmarked Malibu on a 2 ½” Sony TV.
-
They always bring in a few of the "ringers" for the road courses this time of the year. Everybody wants to get to that 35th spot in the owners points. I'm ready for the races back down south. I very was a big Theismann fan, but that "hit" on him by LT makes me krenge everytime I see it.
-
It was bad ‘nuff it didn’t sink in with me ‘til later on. That’s one of them moments ya don’t ferget where ya were when ya saw it. Surface lot, College Place ‘n Boush St. High class apartments there now.
Theisman flippin’ ‘round on the field ‘n LT goin’ nuts tryin’ ta get the trainers in.
-
Yeah, I remember seein it live. It was either a Monday night game or one of the odd Thursday nights. Was watchin with my Dad. Theisman was still behind the line of scrimage and got rushed. It wasn't his knee that blew like I said before but his fibia or tibula. The instant replay guy had a field day makin us all cringe over and over.
-
Ol Joe got a permanent limp from that hit from LT.
-
Yeley is done in the 96. Coleman takes it over come Michigan. Stewart likes the boy, open wheel dirt ‘n all. There’s his team mate. HA!
Prolly old news by now, Favre to the Jets.
-
I think the 96 team took a step backward going to the Toyo. Changin' brands on a one car team is tough. I think that they should have stayed with Chevy and stayed with Terry LaBonte driving a limited schedule. They needed more time to get their program together.
-
Dunno. The team is a Gibbs satellite. Yeley has driven Gibbs stuff from day one.
Yeley has had plenty opportunities. Did nothin’ in Busch. He had a shot with the 11 before Hamlin did ‘n couldn’t do squat. Hamlin wins in it.
Gets in the 96 after he gets bumped from Gibbs proper for Kyle Busch ‘n falls like a rock from the top 35. A position Raines kept it solidly in.
Coleman was a Gibbs development driver that got shuffled out for Logano. The boy looks good. Hope this leads to better things for ‘im.
Never cared for Yeley. He has no talent for this series. It’s the same crap over ‘n over. Interviewed after he fails to qualify or wrecks out ‘n he gives some lame excuse then says his baby girl still loves ‘im.
-
I'm still hopin' that Kenseth can get back into the Chase. The top guys are pretty well set unless something bad happens. That last 2 or 3 positions are still up for grabs.
-
With ya on that one.
-
Ya never know about these road course races. Someone that's not expected to win usually does. I'm more interested in the Trucks at Nashville than Watkins Glen.
-
I'm more interested in the Trucks at Nashville than Watkins Glen.
Lord knows I'm ready for trucks.......
A 'ringer' ain't won a cup race since '73.......
-
It otta be hot and muggy at Nashville. A purfect night for a cold BUD LIGHT! or TWO?
-
Mebbe three. Trucks, awwwwww hell yeah!!!!!!

Arcey, I got an e-mail from RCCA, inviting he to an unveiling of the new DEI tribute to Dale and the Duke at the Stockyards in Fort Worth next Thursday morning. Members from both families and Eddie Gossage will be there. I'm gonna take my camera to get some pictures of the folks and the car.
-
Ya should have ya some fun with that.
Qualifyin’ was a wash. Said goes home. Maybe someone will get out so he can drive theirs.
-
Back ta football fer a second. Tanight is the exhibition Battle of the Bay. Raiders an Niners goin at it. Expectin ta see a lot of rookies on the field. Lil is a Raiders fan but fair weathered only (I tease her about that every season). Our friend would follow the Niners inta hell without question. It'll be a fun night over at their house drinkin beers, grillin meat an gettin a look at the shape of things ta come. Me an my buddies wife have nothin vested, I'm a Steelers man an she's a Packer Backer.
-
Arcey, Thanks for the PM. I don't care which one wins, cause I don't like either team. SF or the Raiders. I'm sure I can find something to watch tonight besides football. I have Dish Network and Netflix to watch.
-
Well ya got yer openin ceramonies fer the 'lympics tanight Tex. I'll take the good times watchin the game with pals ;)
-
We both know I took no pleasure in it, Tex.
I’d watch some ball if they were broadcastin’ it here. Mute the TV ‘n listen to talk radio. The SanFranFreako FortyWhiners vs. the Gangland Faders would be ok.
Promised the revolvers I’d wipe ‘em off this evenin’. Po things been stuck in their socks fer three weeks.
Sit here in total silence before I’d watch the thing from China. Ain’t watched a minute of it since Evander Holyfield got screwed. Never will again.
-
What burned my ass about the olympics was when they let the top PRO basket ball <spit> players temperarily retire ta form the "dream team". Yea! Merrika's gonna win aginst a bunch of teams made up of college age kids who are in it fer the sake of honest competition. The Holyfield thing sucked too.

Wouldn’t be watchin’ basketball anyway. Don’t like it.

Wouldn’t be watchin’ basketball anyway. Don’t like it.
Aint much ta like 'bout it. Only reason it caught on was cause it's played indoors an gave the boys somethin ta do when the weather was bad. Then it was easy ta set up on a playground, no grass ta tend, small area compared ta other sports. Based on an ancient Myan game where the losing team got there heads smashed with a rock. I could sure do without it.

WHITE MEN can't JUMP!

Said reportedly has Ford’s go-ahead to drive Kyle Petty’s Dodge.
-
OL Said must be havin' trouble gettin' a ride if the 45 is the best he can do. Petty Racing just isn't there anymore, technology has past them by unfortunately.
-
Was lookin’ at the Fords yesterday ‘n didn’t see any one-offs anyone would be willin’ to pull.
Reckon Said will take any purse money he can get. Said said (sorry) they spent a quarter million gettin’ there with his car. PE will have a better chance ta get more owner’s points with Said than with Petty.
-
That's True. Kyle needs to go ahead and retire, his head hadn't been in the game since Adam got killed at Loudon.
-
Benson won his third straight truck race and Ambrose won the Nationwide race last night.
-
Unfortunately, I’d have to agree on Kyle. Don’t know that I’d have had the nerve to crawl back in one at all after losin’ a kid.
I, for one, am damned happy the last of the road things is scheduled for today. Weather don’t look too promisin’, Just PLEASE let ‘em get halfway thru it.
Benson’s on a roll. Reckon Skinner misses Henley. The 5 seems to be gettin’ worse.
‘Skins won. Wish they’d quit wastin’ the wins on pre-season games.
-
The Bills ere wearing the old 70s uniforms, I kept lookin' for OJ.
-
Well, 18 is 1st, 20 is 2nd, and cousin Carl was in 3rd. He justcome in for fuel and 4 tires. 18 and 20 haven't come yet.
-
It’s mercifully over.
Come next season, Dale Jarrett can tell us none of the top five starters has ever won a road race (Kyle Busch had been in three this year, won two ‘n finished second in the other - opps, make that three of four.
Jamie Little will have another entire season to practice goin’ orgasmic over the road ‘specialists’. When that time is here she can tell us how the pit stops are backward and that’s new to the drivers ‘n crews – twenty of which it was ‘new’ to yesterday, same track.
Pardon me for sayin’ so but that is one awfully sad broadcast crew.
-
I'm glad them road courses is over for another year.
-
Seein’ they plan ta start Logano in the Richmond cup race. Sez inna Gibbs car sponsored by Gatorade. Gatorade is a Pepsi product. JGR is a Coke team. Weird……
-
Richmond is okay to put him in. Glad it's not Bristol, Don't know how Lagono is at beatin' and bangin'. It's not rubbin', It's RACIN'!

Heck, Lil would think I was sick in the head if I didn't notice that stuff. She'd worry 'bout me as a functionin human being ;D
I LOVE MY WIFE!!!

Here's one more reason ta not watch the 'lympics (ceptin fer the vollyball acourse)
http://sports.yahoo.com/olympics/news?slug=reu-wrestling&prov=reuters&type=lgns
-
Nascar is headin' to the 2 mile superspeedway aat Brookiyn Mi. Let's see if Kyle B. is gonna have any competition.
-
Late entry. Logano in the 20 for the NNS race.
This stuff with Kyle Busch can’t hold.
That said, if I had to bet, 20 Saturday, 18 Sunday.
-
Michigan has been good to Roush in the past. I'm still thinkin' Matt gotta break out. The deal over at the Stockyards was cool, I took my new camera and took a bunch of pictures. I'm afraid they didn't come out. I'm still new at this digital camera thing.
-
True……..
Glad ya had fun.
-
Check yer PMs, Tex.
-
Arcey, They used to say, bad things come in threes.
-
Well, Vickers got the first pole for Red Bull Racing. Biff was the only Ford in the top 10 and the only Roush entry up front.
-
They usually don’t set the werld afire qualifyin’. Times this’n comes down to mileage. Often wunnered if Roush de-tunes ‘em a touch ta get one more lap.
Checkin’ the order yestiddy evenin’ was my second ‘here’s yer sign’ fer the day. The first was the museum. Then I looked ta see if ‘Dinger had made it, totally fergettin’ he got in the top 35 last week.
I hate gettin' old.
-
Arcey, I call those memory losses, Senior Moments.
-
Damn……
Jason Taylor reminds me of Carl Edwards.
-
Jack was the man to fine tune the carbs for the engines. I don't know if he still goes it.
-
Arcey, Them fabricators will be busy next week fixin' bent up race cars. There's always a lot of beatin' and bangin' at Bristol.
-
Hurt cars ‘n hurt feelin’s…….
See where JGR got caught stickin’ magnents unner the accelerator pedals of the 18 ‘n 20 (NNS) so they wouldn’t open the carburetors all the way when NASCAR stuck the things on the chassis dyno Saturday?
-
That's just too sneeky!
-
The Roush cars just kinda snuck up on them, didn't they. Carl got to do a fli ;Dp
-
Buck, I told Arcey last week that the Roush cars would be strong. They always run good at Michigan, besides Roush's HQ is Livonia, Michigan.
-
Yep, ya did. I came close with the 18.
Thinkin’ Edwards won’t try any more back flips with the helmet ‘n HANS device on.
-
Not good for the neck.
-
Looks like Wonder Wimp and his LIL budddy are startin' to point fingers.
-
Gee ‘n oh just golly gosh. I really hate ta hear that.
-
Arcey, Can you hear my violin playin' "My Heart Bleeds For You" ?
-
Interestin’. NASCAR is waitin’ ‘til tomorrow to announce the fines ‘n penalties for JGR. Wunner what that’s all about…..
-
Maybe because it's Nationwide and not Sprint. THat could have been tough on Kyle if it had been the Cup car.
-
NASCAR calls the weekends races official ‘n does the butt kickin’ on Tuesdays. Don’t remember when they didn’t. Both series.
They’ve acknowledged both cars were legal thru the race. It was the spacin’ of the pedals with the magnets for the chassis dyno thing that got their hackles up. Maybe they’re lookin’ for a president...
Gibbs is doin’ his own investigation. Sez when he gets to the bottom of it heads will roll.
-
The fabricators otta be busy next week replacin' all that bent sheetmetal.
-
Oh yeah.
Pat Carpenter, the Canadian good ole boy, got ‘im a truck ride for it. Sounds tickled silly.
-
Beatin' and Bangin'. It ain't Rubbin', It's Racin'.
-
Stand ‘n face the judge……
Crew chiefs Jason Ratcliff (18) ‘n Dave Rogers (20) suspended indefinitely ‘n fined $50,000 each.
18 car chief Dorian Thorsen, engine tuner Michael Johnson ‘n crew member Toby Bigelow - indefinite suspensions.
20 car chief Richard Bray ‘n engine tuner Dan Bajek - indefinite suspensions.
Gibbs said he’d also personally fine the crew members involved ‘n suspend them through the end of the season. I’d say the Coach is pissed.
Points are part of it but they’re inconsequential at the moment. Neither driver is in the runnin’ ‘n the 20 is still way out front in owner’s points.
In a werd… OUCH!
-
I think it's time for Joe to take back all the reins at JGR. Those are some serious fines, hoprfully they have got some folks in place to take the crew chief duties on both cars and replacements for the others. We'll see if it causes much of a hiccup at JGR.
-
That’s what I’m wonderin’ ‘bout. NASCAR can only keep ‘em ‘em out of the track garages. Is the Coach gonna toss ‘em out the shop ‘n bar ‘em from participatin’ on race day? If so that ain't good.
McSwain was out with surgery ‘n talked ‘bout callin’ the shots usin’ a computer ‘n Trac Pass. Talkin’ to the crew by cell phone. It’s been rumored that’s how Knaus ‘n Eury did it while they were suspended. .
-
"Where there's a will, there's a way."
-
One Ford. One Chevrolet. One Dodge. Seven Toyotas in the top ten – that includes the winner. Four of the top five.
NASCAR is snatchin’ motors to take back to Concorde. Next race the Toyotas will be choked down. Damned shame when ya get penalized for hard work.
-
Building a better mousetrap.
-
It’s official. For now anyway.
Logano to the 20 next year along with Zipadelli ‘n Home Depot.
He’ll drive at Richmond in the 02 car, Home Depot, with a reverse paint scheme from the 20.
Sayin’ he’ll run a total of seven cup races. Some in the 96.
-
He will need an experienced crew chief and Zippy fits the bill.
-
I’m with ya. A pile of wins ‘n two championships. He’s already familiar with the boy’s personality. Should work out well.
Meant ta say before. Kindah thought the Gatorade rumor was fishy. Way too much Coke money involved.
-
They have confirmed that Texaco is out of Nascar. Gonna seen funny not to see Havoline on a race car.
-
Sorensen signed with Evernham for next year. Does that give them 4 cars now? Another new number? I read where Stewart didn't get #4 for next year, so 39 will be Newman's #. Morgan-McClure is tryin' to get a car ready for Daytona.
-
MMR raised unholy hell when the news broke NASCAR gave the 4 to Stewart. Newman used 39 in USAC. Suppose he ain’t upset o’er it.
You may have a better source on Sorenson. All I’m seein’ is speculation. Some are sayin’ GEM will field four. Others are sayin’ Carpenter is out of the 10. I dunno.
Texaco. Davey Allison. The Death Star. Awwww heck, Tex. Still sad. Bein’ a 3 fan I used ta hope they wouldn’t show up. For me it hasn’t been the same anyway.
Strange but true. I was in the standin’ in the same spot when I heard the news Allison had been killed as I was when I heard Irvan had been seriously injured.
-
Nascar.com says that Sorensen signs a multi-year deal with Evernham. No sponsor or car # mentioned. The #10 car was not addressed.
-
Always have problems with that thing loadin’. Maybe it don’t like my ‘puter. Quit usin’ the leaderboard when Fox started FoxTrax.
Just saw a GEM update. They’re talkin’ like it’ll be a fourth car but ain’t sayin’ it. Sayin' they're workin' on a sponsor 'n number.
-
Well, If they give Reed a new team and keep the # 10, that will give them the max # of 4 teams. I guess RCR is goin' that way too. Looks like they're all takin advantage of havin' 4 teams.
-
Sponsors are so tight right now. The 10 is piecemeal. I’m a pessimistic ole fart. Thinkin’ Sorenson goes in the 10 when it’s all said ‘n done.
Carl Edwards has it goin’. On a roll. Aflac joins up for a partial schedule this season. Next season ain’t here yet ‘n they’re sellin’ off races already. Rumors are that’s where the Army might wind up. Part time on the 99.
-
Cuzzin Carl shouldn't have any trouble gettin' sponsored next year, I don't understand why Office Depot is leavin them.
-
What I heard, don’t make it true, Stewart gave ‘em a substantial discount. Several million under what Roush wanted to re-sign ‘em.
-
Money Talks!
-
Yeah. Looks like the rich, fat boy ‘bout milked NASCAR almost to the end. Reckon he’s gottah do sumthin’ ta finance his big go carts ‘n sports cars. Ain’t no money in that.
Lost Texaco. Couldn’t keep a sponsor for the 40 ‘n couldn’t find a replacement. The only stock car driver they had is leavin’.
Target re-ups for, supposedly, ‘nuff ta finance two cars. Maybe three or four. If that happens he’ll put one of his go cart drivers in. That’s gonna werk. Instant wins. Seems he’s gone that route.
Montoya would give him a shot at winnin’ somethin’ on a road course. If he had the equipment ‘n support. He’s a good top 20 otherwise. He got in the way real well at Bristol.
Next season, the 41 will be a rollin’ road block.
The 40 won’t be back.
Thinkin’ the boy ain’t gettin’ no more from Target than he’s ever got. Just gonna split it twix two.
Seems he’d know. These folks with the money he wants to put their logos on his cars ain’t stupid. They do their research. They know which cars ‘n drivers get air time. That’s what they’re payin’ for.
But, as long as the cash flow is positive, ole Chip will be spewin’ the same lines just like a politician. Then *poof* he’ll be gone. Back ta wearin’ his l’il beret. Sippin’ w(h)ine ‘n munchin’ on cheese in the paddock. Can't be soon 'nuff...
-
The Dodge camp is in trouble. Other than winnin' at Daytona, Penske hadn't done much. Forget about Petty. Evrenham has looked good at times, Gannasi, NOT. Poor Ol Robby Gordon.
-
Gordon knew what he was gettin’ into when he did it. Just keeps diggin’ deeper.
Evernham lost his mind over a small, skinny, ugly red-head ‘n let his bread ‘n butter go to seed. Should be a real chuckle with what they do with Sorenson ‘n Carpentier.
Petty is livin’ 30 years ago.
Penske is a business man as is Ganassi. Their hearts are other places as they are when the go carts run when the stock cars are.
Dodge is hurtin’ because they’ve been offerin’ an inferior product since I was a kid ‘n in this economy funny lookin’ bodies ain’t gonna keep ya afloat.
All in my extremely humble opinion.
-
When they sold everyone cop cars and muscle cars they were up there. That has all changed.
-
Getcher whine ear protection ready fer this evenin’. Busch sure stunk that up.
Apprarently JGR has kept Rogers, Ratcliff ‘n company in the shops. If ta didn’t see the pre-race stuff. Busch said they’d set the cars up ‘n were in steady communications with the teams by cell phone.
-
knause did the same at Hendrick. If anything is said about it, someone needs to complain about Hendrick's bunch when they were suspended. I amsick and tired of them being special. If Rick hadn't got Leukimia.\, his butt would have been in the Fed. Pen.
-
Been you or me we’d been in jail a long time ago.
I bad mouth Kalifornia much as I can. Gottah be honest. The weather broke ‘n that was good. When ESPN decided to show it, the racin’ for fifth on back was pretty damned good.
Didn’t like the outcome ‘n that part wan’t fun to watch. Red Bull killed their ownselves with cruddy pit stops. Front tire changer for the 83 needs ta go. Cost Vickers Saturday in the 32 also.
Ain’t that I’m a big fan of Red Bull. Just that I’d like ta see a greater number of competitive teams on the track. They improve as much next year as they have this one they’ll be there. Hope they leave ‘Dinger the 84 but it ain’t lookin’ good. Shame. The boy’s earned ‘nother season.
-
Maybe these announcers will shut up for a while now that Johnson won at California. I am gettin' tired of hearin' all this weepin, and moanin' and groanin' about JJ and Wonder Wimp not Winnln'. They were all happy last year when Hendricks bunch was winnin' all the races. Contrary to popular opinion, everyone don't like JJ and Wonder Wimp!
-
They have their annointed. I mute ‘em often but here lately I’ve found comic value in ‘em.
Yesterday’s award goes to the crew callin’ the go carts. Didn’t watch much of it. Shouldah. Bet it was good for a pile ah laffs. Saw dear Patrick stalled. The voice is sayin’ she’s stalled ‘n tryin’ ta get goin’.
Now how, pray tell, is she gonna get goin’? The go carts don’t have starters. She sits ‘n waits for the safety crew or gets out ‘n walks to the garage. Oh, ‘skooze me, the paddock. There’s no third option.
-
Yea! The last time I drove a cart, there wern't no ignition switch or starter button.
-
Be nice if these go carts had a recoil starter on ‘em. Then the drivers could get out ‘n fire ‘em up. Folks what pay good money ta watch a race get ta see ‘em drive ‘round under caution while the safety crews get ‘em outtah the way.
Hehehehehe… They brag ‘bout hi-tech $20,000. steerin’ wheels ‘n no starter.
Good racin’ when the pace car leads the most laps, doncha think?
-
LOve those flashin' yellow lights.
-
Well, It looks like Dario F. is goin' over to Chip's Indy Car outfit to replace Dan Wheldon who is goin' back to Panther Racing.
-
Yeah, saw that. Too bad. Now us NASCAR folks’ll never see his wife lose a boob climbin’ a pit wall.
-
DARIO! My favorite Italian SCOTSMAN! ASHLEY! She's alright too!
-
Oh well…..Thinkin’ the Friday fun ‘n games ain’t gonna happen. There’s a chance, not much, but a chance for Saturday night. The track has dryin’ equipment we don’t have at the range.
But my graces I feel for the fans tryin’ ta park ‘n get out.
-
It rained for almost a week, that first year they raced at TMS. We rode a city bus out to the track and we got stuck two or three times. We still had to over a mile in the mud to get to the track. The Moose was not a "happy camper" to begin with and weather just made it worse.
-
Been pure, blind, dumb luck but I’ve always managed to park on a spot where I could get out.
Richmond ropes off a place where the folks with campers ‘n such congregate. Real wet in September years back. Stopped by ta visit a pard campin’ there ‘n have a beer or three. Didn’t think I’d get outtah there with my shoes.
-
Arcey, I could have used some firefighter boots that weekend. That was the only year we had to walk in the mud. Until that guy drowned, I got to watch the races from a skybox.
-
Well, It looks like Penske made it offical for next year. Stremme will drive the #12 Car in 2009. Not a big surprise.
-
As if it weren’t a slam dunk….
Evernham is suein’ Gordon for sumthin’. As I said before, ole Robby just keeps diggin’ a deeper hole. Ain’t many what ain’t figgered out Evernham ain’t exactly a man of honor. A good crew chief, his talent ended there.
Wonder if Robby will move to Toyota or back to Chevrolet.
-
Oh boy. Here we go. No excuse time. It’s real ‘n it’s fer keeps. In front of a national audience.
Got my ‘Skins tee on. Beer is cold. After all they were the last team ta beat the Giants. Maybe I should put more beer in the icebox. Might need it.
My team. Win, give it away in the second half er get blown out.
-
Arcey, It looks like the Skins lost their opener. Eerernham is suing Robby for breach of contract. He supposedly signed a contract with them to sell them his Team. He was supposed to have a 4 year driving contract and a seat on the BOD of Evernham Motorsports. They were furnishing him engines and tech support. He says the engines are inferior to the ones GEM uses in their cars. He voids the agreement. I guess ToyoTa is his last stop. Maybe Bill Davis will feet sorry for him.
-
Yeah, they did……
Saw the articles. Based on what I read, all I can say is what I said before. Gordon shouldah known better.
Since they brought Kahne in it’s been about the 9. Same with Elliott/Atwood before. Take Mayfield’s entire 19 crew ‘n move ‘em to the 9. Don’t think anyone with half sense thinks Sadler ‘n Carpentier gets the same stuff as the 9. Petty never did ‘n ya go in, eyes wide shut, thinkin’ yer gonna get competitive stuff? Gordon knows more inside stuff than us fans can ever know from the writers. If he did, in fact, make the agreements GEM claims he made he deserves whatever bad things come his way.
I respect what he’s tryin’ ta do but an owner/driver with one car ain’t gonna work today. On top of that, he wants to spend time ‘n resources on off road stuff. To be competitive, Cup requires undivided attention.
He should go back to go carts where he can run on someone else’s dime. They want American drivers ‘n he might make more or as much there runnin’ up front as he is, bottom line, as an also ran in cup.
-
One car teams have no chance in today's NASCAR. Robby has made some bad choices and is paying for them.
-
Damn. Line up is by owners’ points. Logano ‘n the 02 go home. Oh well. That’s racin’.
-
It's a shame that he's not gonna get to race in the Sprint Cup race. That's one of their rules I don't go along with.
-
I bet they could stock RIR with bass this mornin' and have ah tournement ::)
-
A lot of the drivers like to fish, another way to kill time before the race.
-
Looked at the at the cams. Time stamped 1615. A lot of it’s dry already. All’s on radar looks like ground clutter. Prolly couldah got the cup race in.
-
MY buddy Ron Hornaday put it on em' at Gateway. That Ol' Chevy was STOUT!
-
Last I saw:
“The struggles in the U.S. automobile sales market are trickling down to racing, with the latest blow coming to the Craftsman Truck Series. Dodge will not provide any financial support to any teams in the series in 2009, Dodge Motorsports senior manager Mike Delahanty said. "We'll have no factory-funded teams," Delahanty told ESPN.com. "When times are tough, there are certain things that are lower on the priority list than others." Dodge had been a powerhouse in the Truck Series earlier this decade, winning 46 of 99 races from 2001-04 and championships with drivers Bobby Hamilton in 2004 and Ted Musgrave in 2005. In recent years Dodge has scaled back its involvement, with only Bobby Hamilton Racing-Virginia receiving money from the manufacturer this season. Dodge informed the team that its factory support would end this season, and BHR-VA has talked to Chevrolet, Ford and Toyota about a switch for 2009. Delahanty said the manufacturer's involvement with the Sprint Cup and Nationwide Series is unaffected.(ESPN.com)(9-6-2008)”
-
Well, It can't much plainer that that. I wonder if Nationwide and Sprint Cup teams are next?
-
Just my thoughts. Maybe not correct.
The NNS is next, cup after that. Timetable is anyone’s guess. Kindah figgered they’d be outtah trucks sometime this year.
Blame the owners for piss poor performance. Penske ‘n the Chjpper don’t care. Evernham is happy lettin’ Gillett run it ‘n they don’t know what they’re doin’.
Hell. Freakin’ cup cars runnin’ it Kalifornia ‘n Evernham’s off playin’ with Crocker’s quarter midgets in Pennsylvania.

Nothin' wrong with Tex's eyesight.
That's the lovin' couple. He's old 'nuff ta be her daddy. Drop a pretty wife 'n a handicapped kid for that. Throw away his cup team. No fool like an old fool.

Did they race at RIR?
Was there a winner?
I know jist from goin' over there to gun shows tha fans lost... that place is ah nightmare. :o
-
Yeah. There was a race.
Naw. No one won.
-
Arcey is still bummed out that the Skins lost their opener. JJ won, #20 just didn't have the car to pass him. The Toyos came up a little short.

Least ways the Toyotas in cup get beat straight up.

Junior Johnson drives two cars at the same time these days. The 48 ‘n 88. Amazin’, doncha think?

He can't blame the pitcrew about that stop. He was wedged in there and couldn't get out. It was not the pit crew's fault.
-
No, acourse not, but certain things flow down hill.
-
He knows he's not comin' back next year, so he could care less. Those crew guys work 7 days a week and for the most part, the year around. Tony is a good driver, but his personality leaves much to be desired.
-
Seein’ it’s lookin’ like rain for qualifyin’ tomorrow. Kindah tossin’ JGR, Logano ‘n the 02 inta a bit of a spot.
Guessin’. Looks like they ain’t gonna get qualifyin’ in, HoF snatches Schrader on favor of Logano. The ‘02’ is peeled off the 02 ‘n a ‘96’ gets stuck on. Home Depot stays on it with some small Sony stuff stuck where they can fit it.
Think he’ll have to start in the back but I think it’s within the rules.
-
I think HOF is using Schrader the same way that MWR used Skinner and Red Bull used Skinner. They wanna see where they're at and reference to the other teams.
-
Not a bad idea. Ain’t no tellin’ how screwed up the thing is from Yeley’s feed back.
-
This is just lovely. Hornady ‘n steroids…….
http://sports.espn.go.com/rpm/nascar/truck/news/story?id=3580292
-
At least he did it before the ban.
-
The Dinger is sayin' it's 50/50 whether he'll be back with Red Bull. That would be a shame. I think he is just getting comfortable with that team.
-
Be wantin’ ta keep ‘Dinger myownself.
Saw where Frye spent a week with the owners ‘n he couldn’t get an answer. Then Frye is in the ‘leavin’ mix’ too Stewart wants ‘im.
I dunno. Seems ta me it’s gottah be on folks’ minds at Red Bull Racin’.
-
Me too, I think Frye might go over to Tony's Operation.
-
Qualifyin’ rained out. Logano starts 40th.
My guess was right accordin’ ta one source, for what that’s worth. The 96 is the 02 Logano has been testin’ ‘n practicin’ in. The 96 crew will be takin’ a breather with JGR personnel doin’ the werk.
The boy wasn’t very fast in either practice. Ya might say he was real slow. 38th in both.
-
Loudon is a dangerous track, That's where Kenny Erwin and Adam Petty both got killed.
-
I noticed this morning that UPS signed with Roush for next year. It will be good to see them on a Ford again. They did'nt say anything about AAA?
-
Saw yesterday they made it ‘official’, UPS to the 6. Been long announced AAA wouldn’t be back. As I understand it, AAA will be around just not on a car.
Saw the Army was goin’ with Newman. ‘Fore that they were buyin’ selected races from Aflac ta be on the 99 as the primary sponsor. ‘Fore that they were gettin’ serious with Bill Davis.
Silly Season is silly ‘nuff now I ain’t believin’ it ‘til I see it.
-
Makes good reading though!
-
LOL!!! I suppose…..
-
I was glad to see how good Bobby was runnin' in the 43 car in practice. I gotta kinds root for him an Terry when they run cause they be Texicans.
-
Way back when Nascar wasn't like TV Wrasslin' (The cry baby aspect of Nascar) I thought the Lebonte boys were tops.
-
Terry won 2 Winston Cup championships and Bobby has won Winston Cup championship and one Busch championship.
-
Terry won 2 Winston Cup championships and Bobby has won Winston Cup championship and one Busch championship.
.... and they don't whine and pout like Jeffy Gay Gordon an' Tony Whiney Boy Stewart...
-
Let's not forget Jeffie's LIL' buddy jimmie johnson. How would you boys like some rat cheese with them whines?
-
Oh, my. Looks like we’ve been busy chirren durin’ recess. Hero worship more’n just a l’il misplaced, but busy.
-
Thankeeeeeeeee!
-
Not a problem…
After y’all finish with yer colorin’ books, ole Arcey kin give ya a Texas Terry history lesson if ya like. Naw, wait. Ya wouldn’t like……..

Not a problem…
After y’all finish with yer colorin’ books, ole Arcey kin give ya a Texas Terry history lesson if ya like. Naw, wait. Ya wouldn’t like……..
Tell tha story... I quit likin' Naskar long ago... did get to meet Bobby L one time, he was very nice. Think tha werld o' Joe Gibbs too, jist can't like his dedskins....
-
How bout them HOKIES!
-
How bout them HOKIES!
Yeah........ tha young criminals FINALLY won one :o
-
‘Dedskins’? Did ya mean ‘Dead’ er did ya make up a new name? Either way, very clever. ‘Sleep gets a silver foil star on his calendar for taday. Actually, VT has won two. Told ya ‘fore them dear ole college players, in it for the love of the game, are what contaminates the pros.
See yer a real fan there, ‘Sleep. When they weren’t whinin’ in the pits, the Labonte boys hadn’t been born.
Terry, 2 championships. One of those drivin’ fer yer favorite, Tex, Hendrick. O’er 800 races run he won 22. Runnin’ a hunnert races fewer, drivin’ for the same owner, the ‘gay’ (wanna tell us bedroom tales, ‘Sleep?) boy has four championships ‘n won 81 races. The ‘l’il buddy’, same owner, has matched Terry’s championships. Ain’t made 300 races yet ‘n he’s won 37.
Terry’s done a ton ah whinin’. The most memorable was when he realized his considerable skills were bein’ used to drive an R&D car for Gordon. That ‘n trainin’ new crew members for the 24. The pout was short, only a full season. Hendrick told ‘im ta shut up ‘n drive if he wanted ta keep the ride ‘n he said, ‘Yahsah, Mr. Hendrick, boss man’ ‘n he shut up ‘n drove.
‘N, ah course, the classic, when he blocked Earnhardt for thirty some odd laps at Bristol ‘til Earnhardt took ‘im out. Second time. First time Earnhardt just moved ‘im. Second time he put ole Terry in the fence. Ya’d kindah think he’d ah learned ta get outtah the way the first time. Was on TV Monday mornin’ askin’ NASCAR ta take the win from that mean ole Earnhardt ‘n give it ta him. Didn’t werk but it was worth a try.
Cough, cough… Earnhardt. Almost two hunnert fewer starts, 76 wins. Rookie of the year in ’79, first championship in ‘80 then 6 more. Cough, cough….
Lookin’ like y’all have selective memories. Don’t ya think?
These days, Terry’s so well respected he can’t even buy his kid a ride like his daddy did for him with Billy Hagen.
But Terry was the best. He was the best also ran to ever win two championships.
Now, shall we start on Bobby? Or maybe Robbie Loomis? Hehe….. guar-roon-teed Bobby would win a race this season within the first 8 races. Not even close but it was good fer a chuckle. He’s a good ole Texas boy. Won a championship sittin’ on the box with Jeffy-Poo ‘n werkin’ for Hendrick. Prolly the one who can tell us ‘bout the gay boy first hand.
Never let the facts get in the way.
Heh, heh, heh……..
-
Never sed nothin' 'bout no "heros"
Think tha only heros I ever had were my dad and grandpa. Know that neither was perfect but they were someone to look up to.
-
Bro. Sleep did you put a sand burr in Arcey's britches? Sounds like he got up on the wrong side of the bed. You goota admit the Redskins are not popular in Texas. This goes back to the days of George Allen. The Eagles ain't real high on my list dating back to the days of Buddy Ryan's bounties.
-
No idee what twisted 'iz shorts TLD...
-
Darn. Ya take the time ta try’n educate some folks ‘n that’s the thanks ya get…..
-
How bout them Commadores!
-
I'm watchin' a car auction and I saw a 31 Dusenburg Model J Conv. go for 2.4 million. A little out of my "fixed income" budget.
-
I try not ta watch that. Tend ta drool all over my tee shirt..
-
Went down ta the gas station ta grab a deck a coffin nails an a guy rolls up in a brand new Lotus. Didn't know they were still makin em. Air scoop on the top an looked nimble as all get out. Too small fer me but I'd a loved ta run er just once.
Leo
-
I remember when Jim Clark ran the Lotus at Indy the first time. The car was painted green and the ol' timers said that a green car was bad luck at Indy. They were still runnin' the roadsters at Indy then. He finshed 2nd to AJ in 64 and came back In 65 and won. The Co. was founded by Colin Chapaman in 1948. After Chapman died ,GM bought it then it was sold to Bugatil. Bugatil kept it a couple of years then it was sold to an outfit in Malaysia.
-
In 64, most of the Indy cars were the front engine Offy powered. Chapman built that Lotus which was rear engine. Chapman put a 260 FORD small block with HP heads and a set Of Weber carbs in that little car. It was light weight and not hard on tires and Clark won second behind Foyt. In 65, them came with one of those 4 cam V8 with more horsepower and Clark won in 65. Gradually all the teams at Indy went to the rear engine cars.
-
I believe the jinx with BRG (Brittish racing green) started with the MG team back in the 50's. It carried over inta the motorcycle world. Made it a point ta always paint mine that color 'cept fer the last one. ;D
Leo
-
The No Green cars at Indy started in the 20s or 30s.
-
But was it cause of MG? It's buggin me now. Somethin about them haven a disasterous season and all there cars were BRG. Dumped the color fer good. Don't think it was Austin Healy.
Leo
-
Tex, ya remember who crewed the Lotus in ’65?
Green onna car was a big time no-no in NASCAR. Then Waltrip showed up drivin’ for Di-Gard with Gatorade as a sponsor. Won a pile of races.
Then he moves over to Junior Johnson with Mountain Dew for a sponsor. Everyone kindah forgot about green bein’ bad luck.
-
Arcey, If memory serves me right, it was Glen and Leonard Wood.
-
That Green car thing was just an Indy superstitution thing. No #13 car either.
-
I got my years mixed up. Rodger Ward won 2nd in 64, Clark finished 24th(transmission problem) Clark did sit on the pole in 64. In 65 when Clark won the car # was 82. A car with that high a number had never won before.
-
Sure was. The Wood brothers.
No peanuts in the garage or on pit road. That one I never could understand. Mustah had sumthin’ ta do with haulin’ ‘shine.
-
They had that peanust thing at Indy also.
-
Hey, How about the BIF, he done won hisself a race. He kept LIL jj out of the winners circle, which is the most important thing. I think BIF may have been sand-bagging a little on that last run. Cuzzin Carl got 3rd. The 18 seemed to be snake-bit from the git go.
-
What makes it stranger, NASCAR was mostly a southeast sport then ‘n we got peanuts up the ying yang......
Did look kindah like Biff played 'im for a sucker on the last run.
I don't think I've ever heard of a heim joint bustin' without help before. Logano sure was a bust.
-
So dang it! was it MG? I gotta sleep tanight.
Oh, an by the way don be layin any hats on yer bed.
Leo
-
Next race is Dover, all concrete racetrack. It should be tough on tires. It should be another chess game like Loudon. Ol' Mo is easin' a little over to the Roush folks for right now. It is going to be interesting from now on. Bad luck in one race can kill ya. Kyle lost his momentum and his points. He will come back with a vengence which means some feelins' and some sheetmetal is gonna get bent this week and through the rest of the Chase.
-
On the 18, watched the game last night then scanned the news. Crapped out late ‘n fairly confident I knew what happened to the car. Post race interview, Addington clearly said the joint broke. In the local rag from the area he called it a part failure without bein’ specific as to what part.
The writer from the local rag here doesn’t quote Makar but he said he talked to ‘im ‘n was told a bolt was left loose or the joint wasn’t properly adjusted.
Which is it, boys?
I kindah lean ta Edwards on concrete. He’s been onna roll. Yesterday was his best run on a track he historically doesn’t do well on.
-
Leo, I ain’t ignorin’ yer question. Just when it gets outside of NASCAR or the NHRA I can’t help ya. The other stuff I’m not interested in.
Good game for the Steelers. I enjoyed that one in weather I think football should be played in. Really gottah laff outtah Rot-whatever’s (ain’t EVEN gonna try’n spell it) post game interview. Only took the l’il bleach-blonde, reporterette, chicky babe three tries to realize he wasn’t gonna answer questions about his shoulder.
-
They used ta just shoot em up with cortizone. Roethlisberger may need a little more care. Low scoring game, but a good fight.
Didn't see the bleach blonde, but I do enjoy the dark haired gal on ESPN. Names Molly I think, perty and knows the game.
Leo
-
Normally QB's don't wear the same type of pads that a lineman wears. Bigger pads cut down on their throwing motion. Lack of padding leaves them vounrable to injury in the shoulder area when they're taken down.
-
Hearin’ a couple RUMORS I’m findin’ kindah interestin’ ‘n prolly readin’ too much inta.
Ganassi werkin’ on a merger with Waltrip ‘n GEM lookin’ inta buyin’ the 22 operation from BDR.
Wonderin’ if they’re tryin’ ta get ahead of the curve anticipatin’ Dodge goin’ away by already havin’ Toyotas ta werk with prior to a complete change over. Dodge has been right funny ‘bout their folks playin’ with other manufacturers. Hell, fined Petty almost 50K for relievin’ a sick Harvick cuz the car was a Chevrolet.
Maybe they know sumthin’ they ain’t tellin’. They again, maybe it’s been dreamed up by the writers. Or sumthin’ like Dilner ‘n RCR’s ‘bleeder wheels’. Drop a l’il cock ‘n bull story on one of the most brilliant talkin’ heads in the werld of broadcast journalism ‘n watch the fool run with it.
As more comes out ‘bout the 18, lookin’ like our local rag writer done screwed up what he thought Makar told him. Nothin’ was left loose or out of adjustment. A part broke. That’s from everyone from the Coach to the car chief.
-
Those do sound interesting. Metal parts break. I am sure all those parts are stressed to the max and parts will break. Kurt Johnson broke a starter in the Pro stock finals yesterday on the startin' line.
-
Always said if ya make ‘em totally bullet proof yer gonna wind up with a turtle.
-
That makes sense.
-
I thought the turtle beat the hare. They was racin.
-
An old bedtime story. Kindah like what ya see from some folks in the Darksiders’ Den ‘bout Black Powder.
Back in the day, ‘fore I was born, (seriously) Mantz won the Southern 500 in a Mayflower they’d used ta run errands at the track. Put truck tires on it ‘n he kept puttin’ along while they were pickin’ the fast cars outtah the fence. Blown tires.
Them days is long gone.
-
It's a fine line when ya get inta messin with the power ta weight ratio. Gotta have structural integrity an balance, but gotta fly too. Them engineers have a helluva job.
Only reason the turtle won was cause the rabbit was over confident an took a nap. Sounds familiar these days.
Leo
-
I find myself in an odd position. Pullin’ for the <spit> cowboys.
Only happens twice a year. When they play the <cough-gag> eagles.
Could prolly stomach the eagles if the media didn’t go orgasmic every time they mention Mc Nabb.
-
Arcey, this too will pass in due time. I was at Darlington in my diapers watchin' that race. Ol' Johnny was drivin that flat head hot water 6 Plymouth. Them truck tires had harder rubber.
-
It’s done now. The eagles lost. I’m happy. Now I can hate ‘em both again.
Some late funnies from the booth.
Dallas back out front. Eagles have the ball, 3rd ‘n 8 at their 21. Brilliant announcer, ‘They don’t have to get it all now’.
Yanno, just a thought here. If they don’t ‘get it all now’, it’s 4th down, short of their own 29………
Next possession. Eagles have the ball. They ain’t in good shape, third ‘n long. Brilliant announcer, ‘It’s no time to panic’. McNabb sacked.
Other announcer, ‘Tell me when it’s time to panic’.
LOL!!!!
Recall my Daddy’s Darlington stories, he loved the place. Mantz tried the same thing the next year with some other off-the-wall car. At the blindin’ seventy some odd miles per hour they ran back then, it blew up.
-
I guess that game was a fitting tribute to the Monday Night Football games at Texas Stadium. The Eagles and the Redskins have been the Cowboys biggest rivals for years. No one expected that kind of game, including me. I didn't start watching it until about 4 minutes left. There is something special about Darlington. I visited the track once and walked out on to the track at the finish line and looked up in the stands. I could hear the crowds and smell the smells of the cars. I think I would feel the same it I ever visited Yankee Stadium. I've driven by there but never took a tour. Feeling the ghosts of the past.
-
Win/loss aside, that was a good game I thought. I don’t know who the announcer was. Got ready ta hit the mute button.
First time to Darlington I was 11 in ’63. The old man ‘n me rode with friends in a ’61 Thunderbird. Left at O’Dark thirty. I was so amped I didn’t sleep. Trip took forever. No interstates, all 17. Made the race easy. Remember gettin’ in the car after the race. Next thing I knew I was wakin’ up in my own bed back home.
Back when I was young, Darlington, Charlotte ‘n both Richmond races every year. Dover occasionally. Try’n hit a track we’d never been to before every year too.
Love to go to Lambeau Field. Doubt it’ll ever happen.
-
I flew into Dover one time to PU a prisoner up there somewhere. I drove by the track to see it,couldn't get inside though. The California track is on the road to the new San Bernadino County slammer, so I got to see it real good. The Chicago track is on the interstate going out to Midway Airport and I got to see it real well. Same way with Vegas. Now, that I won't be doin' all that travel for free, I'm glad I got to see all the places I've been to.
-
What stopped me was expenses. Mid-eighties it was gettin’ big. Wasn’t the tickets. The motels started jackin’ the rates ‘n made ya take two day reservations. Gas stations went nuts with the prices. Nice restaurants charged like five star excellent restaurants. Printed out ‘Welcome Race Fans’ menus.
All the races were on TV by then. I’d get home, rewind the VCR, hear ‘n see things I didn’t see live. Decided goin’ wasn’t such a good idea anymore.
L’il Darlington story then I’ll shut up. Bunch of us took wives ‘n girlfriends. Had most of the top row seats in the section, old front, almost to the first turn. Parked in someone’s yard ‘cross the road from the stands. Old homicide investigator, I’ll leave it at Ralph, WWII vet, survived the attack on the Franklin, went onna three day drunk. Tried to jump a fence, tripped ‘n passed out where he landed. We didn’t get ‘im up, wasn’t with our bunch.
Someone cut up the startin’ order ‘n tossed the slips in a hat. I drew Waltrip ‘n Earnhardt. Back then ya had ta keep them two separated. Hell, Waltrip was such an asshole then ya had ta keep him away from everybody. One on one with a fan, a nicer guy ya’d never meet.
Anyways. A couple three the wimmen what’d never been were sayin’ they didn’t think the cars were goin’ all that fast. Under caution I walked a few of ‘em to the wall. Green. They went by. Girls weren’t impressed. Told ‘em ta wait a few seconds. They come past under race speed ‘n almost blew ‘em over. They wanted back to their seats up top.
DW won. I made ‘nuff off the bets to cover the motel. Wife got pissed at me cuz I wouldn’t lug a 99 cent styrofoam cooler back ta the car. Got to the car ‘n Ralph was still passed out in the folks’ yard. Hadn’t moved. They said he was ok. They’d kept a check on ‘im.
-
That's a great story :D
I got ta watch em build the track north of Kansas City a few years back. Was hopin ta see a race there but never did. It's a good one, someday I'll have ta go back.
Leo
-
Arcey, Ya gotta love those dinosaurs! Wait a minute! Does that make me a Dinosaur too?
-
Thankee, Leo. Ya always carried memories home from Darlington. Kansas is nice.
I’m sure ya knew some like ‘im, Tex. Ralph was a character. Ran on his own set of rules.
Tex, mi amigo. This is from the heart. Ain’t meant ta hurt. Ya been a dinosaur. So was I. We just didn’t know it at the time is all. Yer gonna be just fine.
-
Arcey, You're right! We be dinosaurs. NYPD had dinosaur lapel pins at one time. I wish I could find us a couple. I sorta hope we've left some tracks for the young ones to follow.
-
Now they're sayin that Frye is stayin' with Red Bull. Everham was tryin' to buy BDR, Dodge is not happy about it. Dodge is sayin' that they are still commited to the Dodge Sprint Cup teams. They are just pullin' out of the Truck series.
-
Happy ta hear ‘bout Frye. Supposed ta hear ‘bout ‘Dinger by tomorrow.
Did ya find it curious that Dodge Motorsports made the denial announcement rather than someone from GEM? Covered Ganassi. PE ‘n Penske too.
-
Sounds like that they be movin' out of the picture soon.
-
Latest info: The deal between GEM and Robby Gordon is off. Robby will be using Penske power at Kansas. Menard is considering leaving DEI after this year and possibly going to Yates to drive a third car. The Dinger might be going to Gnassi next year. Red Bull might put Scott Speed in the 84 .
-
Makes ya wonder how much the lawyers made figgerin’ out it was all a misunderstandin’ Ya’d think that couldah been settled o’er a cup of coffee.
Gossips been fer awhile since ole man Menard ‘n Teresa dissolved their status as an item he’s been lookin’ fer someplace else ta dump his money. Apart from that I don’t blame ‘im. Martin’s haulin’ hiney. Lookin’ like the 01 is gone. Truex ‘n BP prolly in their last year in ’09. Almirola in the 8 is an also ran. Teresa cut DEI’s throat when she let Junior get away.
Gettin’ less ‘n less optimistic for ‘Dinger every day.
-
I hate to see the Dinger go to Gnassi. The Dodges are also-rans and Gnassi is more focused on the IPL than Nascar. It would be a shame if he did go to Gnassi. A waste of good talent.
-
Speakin’ ah old men from ‘nother thread. I’m an ole man. Wishin’ SPEED’d put Wendy Venturini in a shirt two sizes too big. Fer my health ah course.
-
Wendi is rather well-armed. Looks like those button holes are strainin' a little.
-
It does provide a level of suspense though.
-
I just wish I had HDTV!
-
Let’s see……
Kyle Busch took ‘em ta school yestiddy..
Skinner won, barely, yesterevenin’..
Someone in a Toyota, a totally legal Toyota, wins taday, they’s gonna be ‘nuff tears flowin’ ta make Niagara Falls look like an annoyin’ drip from a kitchen faucet….
-
Poor Ol' Benson, They kept him out there too long on old tires, BINGO! RF gone, into the wall out of the race. Ron finished Top 5 even after early suspension issues. The truck was strong, I think he would had something for Skinner. I felt sorry for Bliss, he had a strong car, jst not strong enough for Busch.
-
Hmmm, sorry wrong post.
-
It looks like Roush might go 1, 2, 3, at Dover. I think they have put too tall gears in those JGR cars , too hard on rear end and valvetrain. You can put a blanket over 17, 16, and 99.
-
Good finish. Reckon the live gate got their money’s worth. Good on Biffle.
Had the game on, muted. The race on MRN ‘n live scorin’ on the ‘puter.
Was said the 18 dropped a valve ‘n 11 had torn an axle seal. Suspect at this stage of the game they ain’t bustin’ their asses on the 20 ‘n Stewart knows it.
Thinkin’ it’s kindah funny. Frye rejected Stewart’s offer ‘n now Loomis. Uh, Tony. Ya ain’t that good ‘n yer a jerk.
Game was over, switched off MRN for the TV commentary. Punch started hypin’ Harvick bein’ the fastest car on the track. Look at the ‘puter ‘n he’s consistently two to three tenths off. Hit the mute button ‘n turned MRN back on.
-
I guess Harvick is #3 behind Wonder Wimp and JJ. The Poster boys. I wonder much more money punch and that bunch get paid extra to talk about the poster boys.
-
‘Dinger won’t be back in the 84.
Ain’t my team. Ain’t my money. Ain’t my call. But I think that’s flat wrong ‘n a piss poor way ta treat someone they put in a damned difficult position. Not ta mention showin’ a hell of an improvement in his drivin’. An indication of ‘is potential.
Won’t be pullin’ for Team Red Bull no more. Not that that matters to ‘em any.
-
I hope he lands with a good organization. he deserves it. It's a shame that these sponsors have so much clout.
-
Maybe they'll wind up putting robots in all the cars, that way you root for the sponsors not the drivers!
-
That's a thought.
-
Ya mean like the crash test dummies?
Leo
-
When they have fights, You could have a life-size version of ROCKEM SOCKEM ROBOTS!
-
Fightin Irish vs Purdue taday. REAL football fer sure.
Hope I get ta set down an watch.
Leo
-
GO! BOILERMAKERS!
-
As opposed to unreal football?
-
Arcey, Hadn't you heard of the UFL? They play on Wed. mornings.
-
Gentleman, I do not come to gloat. Rather, with hat in hand, I say thanks. The last Redskins, Cowboys match up in Texas Stadium. Many memories. I will miss it.
See ya at FedEx.
-
The NFC is the toughest division. Every division loss will be crucial. Dallas, Skins, Philly, and the Giants are all in a dead heat.
-
It’s gonna be a fight. Hope the ‘Skins can stay in it.
-
Arcey, I think it is really crappy how Red Bull is treating the Dinger. They've left him hangin' out on a limb. I don't do those energy drinks because of diabetics. I won't support them for the way that they have treated him. He has busted butt to get them some good finishes. He doesn't have anything to show for it. I wish him well and hope he becomes a superstar and he can rub their noses in it.
-
Some later. I’m pissed ‘bout it. Best keep my mouth shut.
-
Well if anyone cares, Our Lady won this weekend an I'm a happy guy. They're 3 games up already. GO IRISH!
Leo
-
LEO, That coach is tryin] to save his job after last year. It's gonna be a long season, don't get too excited yet.
-
I know, but three games is all they took the entire last season.
The boys are tryin, an they're due fer a comeback. I aint a fairweather fan, so I'm stickin with em.
Leo
-
Zero U is in the Driver's set until somebody beats em.
-
Well it looks like Menard is leaving DEI and moving to Yates for next year.
-
Read that to the point the AP said anonymous source. I’ll wait.
Wouldn’t doubt it though. I’d want out of there. Menard with his built in money would be a good grab for Yates.
Bet ya a beer next season won’t be half over before Truex is lookin’ for someplace to take Bass Pro. No one with substantial money wants to ride the 8 or 01 now. I wouldn’t. Also ran equipment, drivers of minimal talent.
She’d have been money ahead had she given Junior the 51% he wanted. By the time next season is over DEI won’t be worth 20% of what it was worth when he left. Think she’s probably learned Kelley is a much better business woman than Max Siegel is a business man when it comes to racing.
It’s amazin’. I sat here ‘n predicted what was gonna happen to the company if Teresa let Junior get away. She ‘n Siegel totally missed it.
-
DEI ain't DEI without an EARNhardt DRIVING FOR THE COMPANY.
-
Well, Arcey, It looks like the Dinger is gone from RED BULL. Skinner and Speed will share the ride for the rest of the season. It's a shame for Dinger to be treated that way.
-
Yep. Prospects of his gettin’ a good seat ain’t very promisin’ either. In all fairness, Meitshitz, or how ever it’s spelled, offered him a one year extension back in July ‘n ‘Dinger wouldn’t take it. I reckon he has to bear some blame.
Did good Sunday. First in class as it were. Everyone in front of him were HMS, RFR or RCR drivers.
Menard ‘n Yates done made the announcement. Looks like that’s a done deal too.
-
I figure he will either wind up with Gnassi or maybe DEI.
-
Looks like that "Herman" Kenny Wallace is going to drive the 00 for MWR at Talledega this weekend.
-
‘N dear ole Rusty’s gonna break retirement ta drive fer DEI I’d like ta see it. I’d like anythin’ that get’s him outtah the announcers’ booth…..
-
Arcey, What's wrong with Rusty? I saw him roll end over end in a Trans Am at Texas World Speedway and College Station.
-
Well, Stewart broke the drought and won a race. Maybe he should changed to SUBWAY much sooner. It's a shame that wreck took out the 3 Roush cars in one swoop. Wonder Wimp had a BAD day.
-
I saw the end of that race. Was flipping between it and football.
The Pack made too many mistakes.
The Redskins started slow but got redhot.
Slim

The race was a mess. Son ‘n Law ‘n me were doin’ the switchin’ thing. Unfortunately, it seems the racin’ spirits are still smilin’ on Johnson.
Was thinkin’ the ‘Skins still had their heads swimmin’ after the Dallas game but they woke up. The Pack has some work ta do.
-
I'm not looking forward to next Monday night, the Brownies have the Giants in. Probably won't be pretty........Buck 8) :-\
-
‘n the ‘Skins the week after………….
Tex, I missed a question. Wallace = obnoxious. ‘That cat has a way cool hot rod’. As soon as I hear that it’s mute time.

Well Notre Dame took Stanford. They seem ta really be goin fer it this year. It was a close game, an that's what makes it fun fer me.
Good friend of our's is cryin over the Packs loss. She's an honery ole gal an spits nails when they eat it, even if it's a good game. Steelers took out that expansion team in another close one. Seems ta be a good start of the season fer me :D :D

Arcey, Ol' Rusty is jest tryin' to be a Hep Cat. Johnson may have all of his bad luck out of the way. Cousin Carl and Bif are the only ones he has to worry about.
-
Well, It looks like the Dinger will be driving the 00 for Mikey. Mikey is tryin' to get 35 th position in owner points. I guess they figured McDowell coluldn't cut it. Herman finished 12th at Talledega which was the 00's best finish of the year.
-
Ain’t that some stuff? Werk yer tail off ta get the 84 in the top 35 ‘n beat the double nothin’ doin’ it then wind up in the double nothin’ ‘n tryin’ get it back in.
Wallace can play Fonzie on someone else’s time. Stereo is beside the window to sports. Remote beside me. TV – mute. Stereo – on. One button, MRN is a preset. Adults call the race there. Live scorin’ on the ‘puter.
No Wallace, no problem. Way cool.
-
Fer sure! Fer sure! DUDE!
-
Arcey, I read where Newman is going to have Army on the 39 car next year.
-
Been in the rumor mill for awhile. Sayin’ the announcement comes tomorrow it Charlotte. Another hole at the waterline of the good ship DEI.
-
Menard is going to Yates and takin' his sponsor. Ragan Smith is he's a "free agent" with DEI. I guess that leaves Truex out there by hisself, and that's a shame. I hope Sr. ain't rollin over in his grave.
-
Suspect there’s the same whirrin’ sound comin’ from his restin’ place as there is in Charlottesville ‘round Jefferson’s.
-
Good point!
-
Well, It looks like Carpentier is out off the #10 for the rest of the year. Mike Wallace is set to drive it at Charlotte and the Dinger will grive it the last 5 races. The Dinger needs a generic drivers' suit with velcro to change sponsors names.
-
Gittin kinda silly, aint it?
Leo
-
It happens about this time every year.
-
With all the musical chairs goin’ on I kindah expected ta hear Mayfield’s name in there somewhere. Reckon not. Heard it in connection with a truck seat awhile back but nothin’ else ‘bout that.
-
Harvick took Sprague out of the 2 Truck to drive it himeslf and Sprague replaced Terry Cook in the 60 Truck.
-
Though things would werk out for ‘em. Sprague can drive. He ‘n Hornady have been tight for years. Harvick ‘n Hornady are tight. Didn’t click I suppose.
-
I'm sure there will be more rumors before the season is over. I always get a press guide every year to keep track of the new teams and new numbers.
-
Heh, heh, heh….. Oh me……..
Edwards ‘n Harvick in a l’il shovin’ match. Charlotte loves pre-race hype.
Tell ya what. Offer ‘em the chance ta settle it. On the NASCAR logo in the dog-leg. Off with the shirts, shoes ‘n socks. Just the jeans ‘n empty the pockets. None ah the sissy gloves stuff. Put jack men all ‘round the logo ta throw ‘em back in if they get out.
Give ‘em ten minutes ta beat the crap outtah each other er ‘til one knocks the other out or one screams, ‘I’m the pansy!’
I’ll put a hunnert federal on Edwards...
-
Arcey, Hermie Sadler is friends with Jeff Jarrett on TNA Rasslin'. Get a grudge Rasslin' match on Spike TV between Cousin Carl and Harvick.
-
Cage match, last man standing! ;D

Yer gonna get used ta it.
Still busy myownself. Got the roast in the crockpot fer supper. Got KP ‘n laundry, already gpt some in the dryer. A couple errands ta run. Two phone calls ta make later. Takin’ a coffee break now. Started gettin’ in motion a l’il after five.
Dentist, again, tomorrow @ 0830.
-
I didn't get up until 0600, Man was that nice. It used to be 0430. I don't miss that. I sorta left rather suddenly without doing my departing interview with the Chief of my Division. I still ain't got my genuine imatation gold plated wrist watch that makes your arm turn green. I didn't have a retirment party to attend and pretend to be nice to people that I didn't like.
-
LOL!!
Gave me a mantle clock when I retired.
Got no D**N idee where it is an' doan really care. ::)
I shore doan miss that place, do miss tha kids time to time.

Me too, There's a couple of folks I'll miss, but the rest of them ain't anybody I can't live without.

Sounds like yer takin well to it Tex.
Yer attitude on goin ta parties full a people ya don't like feels strangly familiar ::) It took Lil awhile ta get used ta that.

I;m not going to miss the having to drive on icy roads during our winters.

Don‘t get a watch. They give ya yer badge inna plaque. It’s on the wall. We didn’t find exit interviews to be productive so they were discontinued.
Got my orders to report for my annual physical. Put ‘em in the shredder.
Told the troops ‘n the fat lady no party. No gifts. We shut the office down for a couple hours ‘n took lunch at Max ‘n Erma’s. Funny thing ‘bout that was I killed the weekly, two hour, entire office shut down, ‘fellowship’ lunches the first week I was back in IA.
Rush hour traffic was fully 50% of why I quit.

Looks like that Mike Bliss will drive the 00 for MWR at Martinsville.

The musical chairs…..
Evernham’s makin’ noises ‘bout gettin’ out of GEM. Likes the l’il thing e’s doin’ with ESPN.
Hope wardrobe dresses ‘im better next time ‘e’s on TV. Tie’s knot was terrible. Jacket was way too big No clothin’ shown on camera matched.

Is it gonna rain out qualiying at Martinsville?

Martinsville is a wash. Set on points.
Makes nine this season. Previous record was five. Oh well.

A lot of idle time to spend.

I read last night that MWR is returning #44 back to Petty and is going to use #47 for the rest of 08 and all of 09. Ambrose will drive it and will switch to Toyos. Sounds like Petty is lookin to go to either 3 or 4 cars. I also read that Evernham is wanting to sell his part of GEM. GEM furnishes engines for Petty, so that might be a problem. Lommis has also talked to DEI, what's up with that. It makes you wonder how stable Petty's operations is right now.
-
JTG-Dougherty & MWR is a done deal from what I’m hearin’. JTG still shares a shop with the Wood Bros. but they don’t speak with one ‘nother.
Ain’t thinkin’ anyone associated with Dodge is stable right now. I been watchin’ the GM stuff close. Waitin’ for the stock ta get in the two buck range. When it gets there I was gonna buy. But the merger talks with Ceberus, if that’s spelled correctly, is runnin’ me off. Don’t look to me to be a merger. Looks like a trade. Ceberus wants the 49% of GMAC GM still owns in exchange for the 80% of Chrysler they own. Daimler still owns 20% of it. I ain’t gettin’ involved in anything Chrysler. It’s a loser.
The industry analysts are sayin’ GM is nuts if they if do it. The Dodge team owners know more of the inside than I do ‘n they know damned well GM ain’t gonna fund their operations under the goat logo. ‘N they’re talkin’ ‘bout cuttin’ support ta the ones they already have.
It’s interestin’ tho. Stewart wanted Frye. Frye said no thanks. Then he went for Loomis – nope. Now yer hearin’ Loomis wants out? For DEI? That's funny.
-
Silly is as silly does!

Hehehehehehe, I missed it.
Sam Hornish, indy winner ‘n racer wannabe, is in the truck race. Them boys what don’t play nice are gonna eat him alive.

Hornaday and Harvick both rain out of gas on the last lap. Benson won got about a 70 point lead now.

Would someone tell me when the Missouri football team shows up. They apparently didn't get to Austin last night.

Looks like the 83 team is in trouble for havin too thin sheetmetal on the car. Big fines and crew chief suspension.

Qualifying at Atlanta was washed out, This looks like a trend.
-
Heh, heh, heh…. When I saw that deal on the 83 Wednesday mornin’ the first thing that come ta mind was, I wonder how many cars in how many facilities are gettin’ pushed ta the fab shops right ‘bout now for panel replacements.
The 83 has bigger problems with that over-the-wall crew continuin’ ta cost ‘em positions in the pits.
Rainouts. Can’t do much ‘bout Mother Nature…..
-
The Ford boys are gonna have to make a move Sunday or It's all over. Atlanta has been a good track for the Fords in the past. The Bif and Cousin Carl are gonna have to fish or cut bait.
-
Hearin’ Kyle Petty wants to leave stock cars ‘n race sports cars. Feels like it’s a lateral move ‘n a move to the NNS or trucks would be a step down for him. Oh well.
Just my thoughts, but I don’t think he can go anywhere where he ain’t gonna get his ass whipped.
-
I don't think his head is in the right place. He is still affected by Adam's death and I don't think he will ever be the same. Petty Enterprise needs some new blood.
-
I was thinkin’ on Petty. If I were him ‘n wanted ta stay in racin’ in some series other than NASCAR I’d be tryin’ ta find a Pro Stock ride. ‘Membered it’d been awhile since I’d checked out the NHRA news. Found this there.
Toxicology is baffling.
State Police Fatal Accident Unit Releases Findings on Drag Strip Crash that Claimed Life of Scott Kalitta
West Trenton, N.J. - The New Jersey State Police has concluded its investigation of the motor vehicle racing crash that claimed the life of NHRA Top Fuel Funny Car driver Scott Kalitta. The crash happened on June 21, 2008 at 4:20 p.m. during the Lucas Oil NHRA SuperNational drag racing event at Old Bridge Township Raceway Park.
The NJSP Fatal Accident Investigation Unit has provided the following description of the crash: Scott Kalitta occupied the right lane in a 1/4-mile (qualifying) drag race against opponent Tony Bartone and was operating a 2008 Toyota Solara Top Fuel Funny Car. Shortly after the race began, Bartone’s vehicle experienced an equipment failure and its speed slowed substantially. Moments later, Kalitta’s vehicle experienced a catastrophic mechanical failure resulting in a fuel-fired explosion prior to the quarter-mile finish line. Kalitta’s vehicle crossed the 1/4 mile mark 0.716 seconds later, at a speed of 300.73 MPH. At the time of the explosion, the rear portion of the vehicle’s fiberglass body separated from the vehicle causing deployment of the damaged parachute system.
Evidence discovered in Kalitta’s lane revealed that he had applied mechanical braking and maintained steering control of the vehicle throughout the 2235-foot-long “shutdown” portion of the racetrack. Post crash examination of the vehicle further revealed the clutch system to be locked, maintaining engine power to the rear wheels. Witnesses and audio recordings reveal the vehicle’s engine firing throughout the shutdown portion of the racetrack, which further reinforced the fact that the vehicle’s engine was still providing power for some period of time.
The vehicle continued from the point of engine failure to the end of the racetrack (approx. 2300') on fire over the course of approximately 7.07 seconds. Upon reaching the end of the paved racetrack, Kalitta’s vehicle entered a “run-off” area constructed of pea gravel at a speed of approximately 125 mph and was positioned near the center of the racetrack’s right lane. As Kalitta’s racecar entered the “run-off” area, the front of the vehicle appeared to pitch upward, allowing air under the vehicle’s fiberglass nose resulting in its separation from the chassis. Over the course of the following .5-second, the vehicle took flight and traveled toward the right side of the run-off area and over the western concrete retaining wall. Immediately thereafter, the vehicle impacted a steel post that supported the right side of a cargo net which was in place to stop race vehicles from passing this area of the racetrack. This impact was specific to the right side of the vehicle and caused separation of the right front suspension components and damage to the right side engine exhaust system. The vehicle continued forward and impacted a piece of heavy equipment (JLG model 600S telescopic boom lift vehicle with a specified (dry) weight of 22,750 pounds), which was positioned outside the “run-off” area by the ESPN television crew. This impact caused catastrophic damage to the vehicle and additional separation of chassis components and the vehicle’s engine. Beyond the boom lift vehicle, a Chevrolet van and a Suzuki Ozark ATV, which were also positioned by ESPN television crew, were damaged by collision debris. The largest portion of the race vehicle came to rest in a grassy area 250' south of the shutdown area and 153' from the initial pole impact. Scott Kalitta was contained in this portion of the race vehicle and had sustained fatal blunt force injuries. A review of information provided by Delphi, which was recorded by accelerometers, mounted to the Kalitta vehicle revealed multiple impacts producing over 100G, with some approaching or exceeding 200G. No information was obtained from the RacePac data recorder installed in the Kalitta vehicle. Post mortem examination confirmed that Scott Kalitta’s death was caused by multiple blunt trauma injuries.
The New Jersey State Police Fatal Accident Investigation Unit has identified the following items to be noteworthy or contributory in the occurrence of this incident:
Engine Failure
The stimulus behind the sequence of events leading to the death of Scott Kalitta was a massive failure of the vehicle’s engine. Although not uncommon in Top Fuel drag racing, the exact diagnosis and chronological succession of the engine failure in this incident was beyond the scope of the State Police investigation. After post-crash inspection of Kalitta’s vehicle components by the NJSP, the vehicle was turned over to the NHRA and, ultimately Kalitta Motorsports.
Fuel Flow Interruption
After failure of the engine in the Kalitta vehicle, a fire ensued which survived for more than seven seconds, throughout the crash sequence. Additionally, fuel continued to be fed to the engine, either residually or via remaining fuel routing from the fuel tank. This engine power handicapped the capability of the mechanical brake system. Had the driver been rendered unconscious or temporarily unable to apply mechanical braking after the engine explosion and parachute failure, the vehicle’s deceleration over the next ½ mile would have been minimal.
Insufficient Braking
Despite approx. 1832’ of intermittent tire marks to indicate the functionality of all four brake systems, the vehicle’s speed was reduced slightly over 50% in the last ½ mile of the racetrack. The initial engine explosion and loss of body components, deployment and minimal expansion of the parachute system as well as the vehicle’s suspension system and tire pressure and composition may have contributed to a loss of tire contact, which made braking partially ineffective. Additionally, the clutch system was found to be locked which maintained engine power to the rear wheels.
Insufficient Auxiliary Braking (parachute failure)
The vehicle’s parachute system was deployed (but did not blossom) at the time of the explosion when the rear portion of the vehicle’s fiberglass body separated. Post crash inspection revealed substantial damage to the parachute system. This damage included tearing, burning, and tangling assumed to be caused by the engine explosion, ensuing fire, body separation, and spoilage of air over the remaining vehicle chassis, and high speed ground contact.
Driver Toxicology
Post mortem toxicological analysis of blood obtained from Scott Kalitta during his autopsy revealed the presence of Ethanol at a level of 23 mg/dL. This level converts to a BAC percentage of .02% BAC. This level, 25% of the legal limit for intoxication in the State of New Jersey, remains in violation of NHRA rules (Section 1.7, I., B.1.) as well as N.J.S.A. Title 13 Chapter 62 New Jersey State Motor Vehicle Racetrack Regulations.
Fixed Object Impacts
Upon entering the “run-off” area and impacting the pea gravel, Kalitta’s race vehicle took flight at a speed of approximately 125 MPH. The vehicle sailed over the western retaining wall and its right front tire rubbed the concrete wall before the vehicle impacted the western “catch net” support post. This (8.5" diameter x 7' high) hollow steel post was protected on its northern and southern sides by the concrete barrier by its position within the barrier, but extended above the wall with no attenuation.
After impact with the cargo net support pole, the Kalitta vehicle continued 15' from the pole impact before impacting the cast iron counterbalance portion of an aerial boom lift vehicle, which was in place to position a remote television camera over the center of the racetrack. As the impact continued, the Kalitta vehicle made multiple impacts with this 23,000 lb. vehicle and its extended boom component.
The New Jersey State Police Fatal Accident Investigation Unit, as the sole agency with responsibility to regulate the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Racetrack Regulations (N.J.S.A. 13:62) has concluded this investigation and has forwarded all reports to the Office of the Middlesex County Prosecutor for review. After this review, further safety recommendations will be discussed between the NJSP, the NHRA, and all three of New Jersey’s licensed 1/4-mile (drag racing) racetracks.
• All requests for further information into this matter should be made through The New Jersey State Police Office of Public Information at 609-882-2000.

damn they didn't miss anything
I wouldn't have thought after seeing the accident they was enough to do a BAC
-
There’s no report of a physical examination of the racin’ surface. Only a description of evidence of brakin’. I wouldn’t have accepted the report as complete without it.
Guess that’s why I was known as a picky son of a b!tch. I could read it closer ‘n prolly be pickier. But it tells the layman enough 'n I don't get paid for that stuff no more.....
-
good catch..
you only need to give the 12 in the box enough to not overload there brains
-
It looks like everything that could go wrong during the run did go wrong. I hope that NHRA has learned from this and safety measures have been implemented to prevent further tragedies like this.
-
It confirmed one thought of mine from seein’ the vids. The chutes didn’t open or ‘blossom’ as they put it.
Also, it touched on one other thought. I wondered from the beginnin’ if the initial concussion of the explosion knocked him silly for just a split second. Just enough to cause him to miss the shut down sequence. At that speed a man doesn’t have a tenth or even a hundredth not to get it right the first time. There is no second chance at those speeds.
The BAC. Prolly a beer or two in the pits. Seems innocent enough. If he was a regular consumer I doubt it would have had much of an effect on him. Thing is, it’s just somethin’ ya don’t do. I drink a lot of beer ‘n I wouldn’t no more have one prior to or durin’ a shoot as I would french kissin’ a rattle snake. Never touch one until the guns have been put away. Rooster, Tom or Sod Buster should remember, the last time we broke bread tagether I had an hour ‘n a half drive home. I drank unsweetened tea. Didn’t settle well, I wanted a beer but I didn’t have one. I was too hot ‘n if I’d had one I’d have had three. Now that it’s cooler…..
Either way he’s gone. Like you I hope somethin’ is learned.

Oh, geezzzzzzz….. What next?
Federal grand jury indicts Morgan-McClure Motorsports general manager
2008-10-29 05:35:49
According to a report in the Bristol Herald-Courier the general manager of Abingdon-based Morgan-McClure Motorsports has been indicted by a federal grand jury on charges relating to wire fraud, mail fraud and violations of federal tax law, the U.S. Attorney's office said late Tuesday.
Larry Allen McClure, who has been general manager of his family's motorsports team for 25 years, faces a maximum penalty of 115 years in federal prison and up to $2.75 million in fines if convicted on three counts of mail fraud, three counts of filing a false tax return, two counts of obstructing a tax investigation, two counts of money laundering and one count of wire fraud.
The indictment against McClure, also released Tuesday, accuses him of filing fraudulent income tax returns in 2002, 2003 and 2004. Internal Revenue Service investigators said the returns omitted several large payments from an unidentified Florida man who leased race cars from McClure to use in races conducted by the American Racing Club of America.
The family-owned Morgan-McClure team won 14 NASCAR Sprint Cup races and 13 pole positions over a couple decades relying on sponsorship from Kodak. That record included three victories in the famed Daytona 500.

Looked on snopes.com tryin’ ta see if it was a well done hoax or for real. Maybe I used the wrong search terms but I didn’t see anything either way.
I reckon once that wing went its merry way the pilot didn’t have anything to lose so why not try extraordinary measures to put it down.
If ya look close, you’ll see the left wing’s aileron flip up at the very last. From what little trainin’ I’ve had, four lessons, never soloed, at low speed that would have stalled that wing ‘n the weight of it could have brought the airplane to level just before it touched.
I dunno…….

He seemed to have kept his cool throughout the incident and he really didn't have too many options.

Well, Wonder Wimp done got himself a pole here at TMS. I'm stayin' on this side of the Metroplex and stayin' away from Fort Worth and all the traffic. If they have the Super Bowl at the new Cowboy stadium some day, I am leaving town for all week. I only live about 5 miles from there.
-
Don’t blame ya a bit. I don’t get anywhere near Richmond these days. I’m right at a hundred miles out.
They had an estimated, 65,500 for the trucks, 75,000 for the NNS run. No tellin' what taday will bring. Bad economy or not, with the exception of the May thing at IMS, the go carts would kill for half those numbers.
-
I watched both races this weekend so far, the 18 was perfect. Couzin Carl did all he could and finished ahead of Boyery. He knocked about 25 points off the leader. Still 2 more races to go. Hornaday has been drivin' the wheels off that 33 truck but he just can't seem to shake Benson out of first. Benson has been lucky thes last few races. I 'll watch the Sprint Cup race for awhile. I'm rootin' for Couzin Carl against Wonder Wimp and JJ.

Woman hit by stray bullet at Texas Motor Speedway
Police suspect that someone from 'very far away’ was shooting into the air
BY ALEX BRANCH
abranch@star-telegram.com
FORT WORTH — Kerry "Jill" King had just finished breakfast Sunday when, she said, what felt like a bolt of lightning ripped through her recreational vehicle at Texas Motor Speedway.
"The explosion was so loud," she said Monday.
Dazed, the 62-year-old Arlington woman’s first reaction was to check the stove’s butane tank. As she turned, she realized that her right arm was dangling and useless.
"I starting screaming for my husband, 'Help me! I don’t know what’s " she recalled. happened!’
A large-caliber bullet had pierced the roof of the RV at about 10:30 a.m. and hit her arm. The bullet shattered the bone in four places as it passed through, before becoming embedded in a wall, relatives said.
Police said the bullet was possibly .50 caliber, and, judging from the angle it entered the trailer, was likely fired by someone "very far away" who aimed "up in the air."
After she was hit, King said, her husband, Mel Moss, helped her outside and they called for help. Someone in the crowd was a paramedic and began treating her. A towel was wrapped around her arm.
It took a few minutes for them to realize that she had been shot.
"There just aren’t words to describe the pain," she said. "I can’t imagine anything hurting worse."
King was in Harris Methodist Fort Worth Hospital on Monday. Her arm was heavily bandaged, and on a table next to her were flowers and balloons that read, "Get Well Soon."
A doctor called it "a miracle" that she survived a shot from such a large bullet, she said.
"I still can hear the explosion," she said. "It’s the weirdest thing, you . I am so thankful my arm is still on because I . . know, that I am alive. thought it was gone."
Her son Lance King pointed out that if the bullet had gone into her body instead of the wall, she probably would not have survived.
Jill King said her grandson is often inside the trailer and could have been standing in the path of the bullet.
Whoever fired the shot needs to understand that "if that bullet goes up, it had to go down somewhere," she said.
Her husband, who sat at her bedside, was more emotional.
"This person needs to be found, and he needs to be found now," Moss said, his voice breaking. "That area is populated. It’s not like it’s a desert out there. You can’t fire a weapon out there in any direction without hitting something or somebody."
Moss said he spent much of Monday going around the track "searching for answers" and asked reporters to mention that he is offering a $3,000 reward for information leading to the shooter.
"I am mad," he said.
Fort Worth police echoed Jill King’s warning about firing guns into the air.
"Stray bullets seriously injure and can kill," said Lt. Paul Henderson, a police spokesman. "Never shoot a firearm up in the air just for kicks because what goes up at over 1,000 feet per second comes down at near speed."
There were no suspects Monday evening, police said.

Arcey, Our drunk undocumented aliens around here have a bad habit of shooting rifles in the air. The area north of the track is rural, so anybody could have done it. I doubt that they will find the perp unless he brags to someone.
-
He prolly will brag after a few shots of takillya.
It's a simple law of ballistics. People who use the term "going ballistic" don't even know what it means fer the most part. You fire something off in a manner that ain't made ta follow a predetermined course, bad stuff is just waiting ta happen. I hate it when they show people doing that in the movies. Them things er gonna come down somewhere. More ammo fer the gun control folks. Great.

Gettin off topic here, but come on.
If ya wanna protect yer rights ta have fire arms, don't be irresponsible. Don't hand yer 8 year old kid a fully auto Uzi, don't shoot yer pistol in the air. But I guaruntee these will be the first people ta bitch when laws start changin.
OK, back ta the football an racin. Oh, an beer too.

And, with that, I do hereby acknowledge Tex ‘n myownself are even.
The ‘Skins? They had their asses handed to ‘em last night. Fourth ‘n goal from two feet ‘n Zorn calls a pass play? They deserved to lose.
My high point was watchin’ the Steeler’s cheap shot artist rollin’ ‘round on the ground from a clean hit.
-
Ma Steelers er doin jus fine this year ;D
I have no clue what Zorn was thinkin. I'm sure he heard about it in the locker room.
Notre Dame lost, but I missed the game. Would like ta know how they fouled that one up.

The ND fans need to realize that they can't win the National Championship every year. They were real bad about runnin' up the score to improve their ratings. That's one of the reasons I enjoy it when they get beat.

Ol Leftwich did purty good Monday night. Big Ben better watch out, Leftwich is Hungry.

Someone has turned himself in as the possible shooter.
Articles say he was at a range, five miles away. Shootin’ a single shot chambered for .50 BMG. What the flyin’ fornicate for is beyond me.
It’s damned fools such as this that feed the antis.
-
Tkose 50s can probly go further than that. This will definitely add fuel to the fire.
-
Ain’t my decision ta make fer folks. Their money, their guns. As far as I know he had it ta hunt them rhinos ‘n elephants y’all got roamin’ ‘round over yer way ‘er paper-punchin’ at three miles.
Just can’t help but have the idea he ain’t nothin’ but a gun slob. Sharin’ the mindset with them what sez ‘I shoots .45s cuz they don’t makes .46s’ or them dear ole warthogs who’d happily damage a club’s targets, that they don’t have a dime in, so they can enjoy the ‘buck ‘n roar’.
-
We had a guy out at our free outdoor range with a bunch of heavy belt fed WWII German machine guns. Ammo must a cost him a fortune. The ones he had on the bi-pods were pumpin some big metric stuff. Don't think he had a 20 but the cases he was spittin were dang near close. He picked em all up when he was done so I never found out fer sure an I never spoke with him cause he had a swastika tattooed on his arm.
I gotta admit, I would of loved ta shoot one them guns, but the whole thing just seemed silly. I had the 30.06 out that day an was doin just fine.
Leo
-
Leo, did he have a skin head too? Them things might not be registered and who knows who may have been watchin'. You do live in California where guns are frowned upon.
-
No skin head, he was an older guy.
Interesting thing about the place I was talkin about is that it's out in the middle of nowhere and ya can see fer miles. I've never seen anyone official near the place. Some guys drink out there and some set up stupid richocet friendly targets which is always my cue ta leave an come back another time. At least everyone out there has always respected a "clear" call.
One time, I took some out of town friends out there and durring a clear the guy next ta us says he settin up some reactive targets. My buddy asks what that means and I tell him they're targets that change color when ya hit 'em. When everybody was back on the right side of the line the guy yells "Fire in the hole!!" I say "oh s***" an tell my friend and his wife ta cover their ears, cause we hadn't got our protection back on yet. They must a been claymores er somethin'. I couldn't even see em without a scope until they blew. All that noise an still no one official came ta check it out. The cows in the field next door got a little riled but that was about it.

Occasionally, they’d show at old Pungo. Big bores with big bores. Muzzle brakes that’d ring your ears with double protection on.
Wouldn’t be sightin’ in. Plinkin’ at bowlin’ pins they set up. From 50 yards. With a nine power scope. Saw one split his eyebrow open one afternoon. That was funny.
I’d pick my stuff up ‘n sit in the truck. They usually don’t stay long. They couldn’t lie to themselves ‘bout the recoil gettin’ ta be a bit much. Even if they were loaders the ammo was expensive.
Was out one day. ‘Nother board member was out plinkin’. A big bore with a big bore shows up ‘n starts shootin’. Ran his mouth ‘bout the thing.
My pard introduced me and himself. Told the slob he ‘n I were board members. Said two meetin’s ago we voted on bannin’ things such as his big bore. Too much development behind the berm. Said he voted against it but after watchin’ taday, he planned to bring it up at the next meetin’ and votin’ for it.
All I said was ‘Amen ta that’. I thought the big bore with the big bore was gonna cry, packed up ‘n left.
-
50 yards with a 9 power? That bowling pin musta looked like the empire state building.
I will admit ta a small scar on ma forehead from the first time I shot with a scope. I heard a guy laughin at me and makin some comments. Turned around and saw the guy was in a wheel chair with a colostomy bag. I took my lumps and wiped the blood off ma face. Never said a word, just readjusted my head position an kep shootin. Lookin back, it prolly was funny ta see.
Leo
-
Leo. Them scars are always a good source for a story.
-
I'll never ferget the look on Lil's face when she looked over at me and I didn't even know I was bleedin yet. I asked her, "what's wrong?" I didn't have a mirror but I guess it was a mess. Them head wounds really spout off, even if minor.
Leo
-
The blood vessels are close to the skin on the face and forehead.

That's always been a boxers biggest plight. Right over the eye.

Yup, I got a couple of those scars myself. Reminders of a mis-spent youth.

I don't know at 2 yrs old whether or not the kid realized what he did for now.

Definately a candidate fer the Darwin award.

Kids are always going to be curious about things. They imitate what they see their parents do or say. It was totally irresponsible on the parent's part to leave the pistol out, loaded, and available to the kid to pick up and play with.
-
Arcey, I see where Benson is leaving BDR at the end of the season whether he wins the championship or not. He looks tired and maybe he's not as hungry as he once was. They signed a kid to drive a fourth truck next year. I thought he had found a place where he was competetive and could show his driving ability. I still say the Truck series is the best of the 3 Series. It's a shame that Nascar has choked down the Toyota engines.
-
He looks tired and maybe he's not as hungry as he once was.
Kindah funny ya said that. Watched the post race interview the other night ‘n sumthin’ didn’t seem right. The smile looked forced ‘n he looked tired. Just wasn’t JB. Figgered it was prolly cuz he’d just run a difficult race ‘n not even the lapped trucks or Skinner’d cut ‘im a break.
Gonna be sad ta see ‘im go.
-
Ninety-nine days until the 2009 Daytona 500! Get ready! Get set! Gentlemen, Start Your Engines!
-
Why I don’t pay any attention ta racin’ reporters.
One onna satellite station was reportin’ Martin was gonna be in the 84 at Homestead ta try ta get it back in the top 35 before Daytona. Red Bull says no. Speed will be in it.
They way they did ‘Dinger after he scratched ‘n clawed ta RACE that car inta the top 35 ‘n puttin’ a cushion of owners’ points between the 84 ‘n 35th………
Ya wanted Speed in the car? Ya got ‘im ‘n he’s squandered it. If he can’t get fast Sunday ‘n gain a position I’m gonna offer a dollars to cookie dough bet he won’t be runnin’ the race in February. The car ‘n crew have it. ‘Dinger proved it.
We’ll see if the reporter was right about Martin come Sunday.
-
Let's make a deal.
-
They’re talkin’ a decal swap twix Vickers ‘n Speed now. Still no sources named.
-
I noticed that AAA is going to sponsor the 77 car in some races next year, including the Daytona 500.
-
Should be a good deal for their collision damage insurance part. Good chance he’ll tear the car all ta hell with their name on it on national TV.
Jay Frye had been quoted now. Sez they’re gonna swap cars. Whether than means numbers or actual cars I can’t read inta it. Can see advantages either way.
-
That Red Bull outfit is a strange bunch.
-
Sure look ta be.
Man. DEI ‘n CGR w/ the cuban merge. Some 180 people lose their jobs. Hate that.
Might feel a l’il better ‘bout it if I thought Teresa ‘n the Chipper would give ‘em a thought Thanksgivin’ or Christmas mornin’. Doubt that.
The spinnin’ sound comes from Earnhardt’s grave again.
-
Well, Is the Chipster gonna get out of his deal with Dodge? They still gotta come up with some serious sponsorship no matter what brand they drive.
-
Dodge sez they wish him well. Think that translates to ‘we’re glad ta see the money freed up.’ GM was carryin’ four cars at DEI anyway so there’s no difference for them.
What I’m seein’ is he has Wrigley as the primary for half the races for ’09 on the 42. The 41 is fuilly funded by Target. No driver.
She has, well, Truex has, Bass Pro for the whole year. Nothin’ solid for the 8. No prospects for the 01 ‘n that’ll shut down. Nothin’ for the 15 ‘n that’ll go away too.
-
It's gonna be interesting in the off-season for securing these sponsors for next season.
-
Kindah figgered it’d happened.
Aquainted with an ole fella ‘n run inta him while I was out on errands. His son is the catch can man for the 15. He had other tasks at the shop when they weren’t on the road. He’s been let go in the DEI lay-offs.
His daddy told me earlier they were sure Menard was leavin’ ‘n his son has talked with other teams, in particular Yates, but there doesn’t seem to be any openings anywhere for anyone right now.
Sunday evenin’ when they land in Charlotte after flyin’ back from Florida the kid is unemployed.
-
Menard will be runnin' #98 for Yates next year. I watched qualifying for Sprint Cup this afternoon, JJ didn't do so hot. Cuzzin Carl was about 4th or 5th when I turned it off. Also watched some the truck Qualifying, Hornaday looks strong and I think Benson's team is chokin' under the pressure. One of the crewmen forgot to hook up the front sway bar on Benson's truck before practice. He drug it around the track and messed up the RF tire to the cord.
-
Why he ‘n several others were talkin’ ta Yates.
Undone sway bar, didn’t tape the blade seam. Good pit calls after a lousy first one. One championship for JB. Hornaday is a class act. They don’t play nice on the track. Damned good, hard racin’. They respect one ‘nother when it’s over.
I’m happy.
-
I've been a fan of Ron's since his days of drivin' the #16 truck for DE.
-
I’m convinced. Wendy is bound ‘n determined to drive me, personally, slam up a wall….
-
I'm hoping Cuzzin Carl wins the Nationwide title but I think it's a done deal for JJ to win #3 in a row.
-
I notice that nothin' was sed 'bout tha cowboys/skins game....

We're even, 1-1. Marion Barber was the difference.

Bro. Sleep, What happened to TAMU against BU? Moose wore her BU hoodie this weekend.

-
Ditto for me Bro. Sleep. OSU played one good game a year and that was against Zero U. OSU has got a pretty good team this year. It should be a good game.
-
Don’t know much ‘bout the author on this one. Run ‘cross it last night. Didn’t run up the spreadsheet but thinkin’ back over the finishes it sounds ‘bout right.
In ‘Dinger’s five races in the 10, he outscored (the notables):
All the Penske drivers
All the DEI drivers
Stewart
Kahne & Sadler, the other GEM drivers.
Both CGR drivers
All the MWR drivers
All the PE drivers
Not that I have anything against him personally but ‘Dinger beat Vickers too. Nice move, TRB.
-
Does the Dinger have any feelers for next year? Sponsorships are going to real important to all the teams next year.
-
The rumors I’m hearin’ has the 41 down to he ‘n Riggs. ‘Dinger is ten years younger but Riggs is supposed ta have some State water heater money.

Greg Biffle No. 16 Retired Roush Fenway Racecar only $ 69,999.99
http://www.kotulas.com/race-car.htm

OT, I sorta like the off-road commode and the talking toilet paper spindle. I would have more use for them at my age than the race car.

They do have some really cool stuff in the catalog, makes ya want ta order a few of them ;D
-
‘Fore I looked figgered it’d be a first generation CoT Jack was dumpin’. With the entries expected to be fewer in ’09 the start-‘n-park crowd are gonna be in the market.
The one they’re hawkin’ is obsolete. Most of that inventory has been sold off ta the ARCA folks. The ‘n the various drivin’ schools ‘n experience things.
Gottah give it to Roush. That ole fart is always tryin’ ta turn a buck. 70 thousand is a bit steep.
-
Arcey, It would be a good toy to tool around the neighborhood and rattle everybody's windows.
-
lets see, $70,000, take er to every supermarket grand openings, mall specials, Wal-mart parking lots, get yer picture made in the NASCAR car $20 reckon we'd make our money back? :o ::)
-
OT, That's a lot of picutes.
-
Could be drug from range ta range ‘n charge all the folks what despise Roush a buck a shot ta shoot it – no shotguns. Prolly show a profit inna couple weeks.

I guess that would be okay, but I'd rather throw cream pies at Wonder Wimp, Harvick, and a few others.

Info, Colts/Giants Championship game, 1958
The TV broadcast is lost, but film of the action has been restored and colorized for ESPN's 50th-anniversary two-hour special, "The Greatest Game Ever Played," to be presented at 9 p.m. on Dec. 13, immediately following the Heisman Trophy ceremony.
Just stumpled ‘cross it scannin’ the news. FYI.

One reason I have no interest in college ball. Too many ‘Championships’. When ya do that, no one is anything except a qualified champion. Does leave the fans 'n sports writers somethin’ ta make never endin’ arguments ‘bout. Ta me that gets borin’ quick.

I'd just rather see a kid play his heart out fer a scholarship rather than a zillion dollars. My Dad was a HS coach fer years. Got hired ta be linebacker coach at UC Davis. Did it a couple seasons an said, "screw this, I'm goin back ta HS coachin an teachin" Grew up hearin all the serious blah blah blah even on that level, it's unavoidable in sports these days, an that's sad. Just remember him settin in the den after game night with a few key players with the lights out an the super 8 projector reviewing every single play. The man is 70 years old now an still has 50 year old men callin er writin him now an agin an they still call him Coach.
Leo
-
I know that feeling.
I was 23 when I coached my first team, those boys were 14-15 in 1971.
-
Playin’ for a scholarship is compensation. The Vick brothers – one in jail, the other pumpin’ concrete on construction sites – were drivin’ expensive new SUVs ‘round Blacksburg. They’re ghetto kids. How’d they do that? The noble amateur athlete werkin’ ‘iz studies ‘n playin’ fer the love of the game. It’s like the pros. Fer every coach like yer Dad there’s an untold number more that care more about winnin’ then they do the kids. Beamer at VT is a prime example. Winnin’ is how he keeps ‘is job. Now that the Vicks aren’t an asset he couldn’t care less.
Me, I’d rather watch the money flow to the players who go with no pretense. Just fame ‘n fortune. It’s more honest ‘n straight up.
But let’s leave it alone. Watch what ya like under any concept ya wanna frame it ‘n enjoy.
-
Ya wanna have a REAL good time, try officiatin’ a flag football league ah cops. Ya get players ‘n coaches yellin’ in yer face ‘n they’re friends ‘n co-werkers off the field.
Threw a coach out for unsportsmanlike conduct ‘n I didn’t think ‘e was ever gonna speak ta me again……
-
HA!
When I played PAL flag Dad got sucked inta helpin cause he had sperience. I was a full back in the beginnin and made friends with one the half backs. We were a team made up of all the guys who never played bafore an our official coach was a dentist who couldn't growl at us if ya held a gun ta his head. (this is 4th grade) The half back's dad jumped in on the sidelines too, and he was one of them serious football guys.
One day, we was playin a game, in formation waitin fer the snap in T formation. Me an the other kid hear a ruckus an next thing ya know there's both our fathers playin "push push" on the side line yellin at eachother. Me an the other kid just shook our heads all embarresed. We never did the "my dad woulda whooped yers" thing, we just went on with the game an tried ta fergit it.
Wanted ta call im a soccer mom but didn't dare ::)

Hehehehehe…….
Called a dude fer holdin’. He’d ripped another guy’s tee shirt doin’ it. Kinda obvious. His wife run onta the field raisin’ hell, as if we were gonna pick up the flag cuz ah 'er mouth. It was a hoot. Frickin’ grown men ‘n wimmen.

The Alumni or "Boosters" grease the wheels on this college football train. They pay the money to recruit the good players and keep them and their familes subsidized. They enjoy the bragging rights to their friends and coworkers to say their team is the best. Everybody does it on the big college level. These Alumni control the purse strings for contributions and the tenure of the coach. The coach has to keep the Alumni happy as well as the School.
-
That makes my point rather well. Thanks, Tex.

OU and UT are two good examples of that in my part pf the country.

That's why Dad left UC Davis and went back ta HS coachin.

Leo, I had planned on a coaching job after college. I wound up in the Army and did not get into teaching or coaching. After the Army, I had got the coaching out of my system and decided on Law Enforcement. Sometimes I wish I had done the coaching thing, but things have worked out for me.
-
He got his teachin credentials when he got out of the Corps. We moved every year or two for my entire childhood chasin better offers from different schools. He became a phamecutical rep in the early 80's and has that to thank for his retirement. You prolly made the right choice in joining the force.

The Moose is the teacher in our family, she's been at it since 72. She really enjoys it and doesn't plan on retiring anytime soon. She's always made more money than I have, Cops wages aren't that good, but I've always had a job.

Interesting news from the Racing World ;D
Jeff Gordon fires his entire pit crew!!
This announcement followed Jeff Gordon's decision to take advantage of the Obama Plan for NASCAR to employ inner city youngsters.
The decision to hire them was brought about by a recent documentary on Court TV on how gang bangers from Harlem, Chicago & Los Angeles were able to remove a set of wheels in less than 6 seconds without proper equipment, whereas Gordon's existing crew could only do it in 8 seconds with millions of dollars worth of high tech equipment. It was thought to be an excellent and bold move by Gordon's management team as most races are won or lost in the pits. However, Gordon got more than he bargained for!
At the crew's first practice session, not only was the inexperienced crew able to change all 4 wheels in under 6 seconds, but within 12 seconds they had re-sprayed, re-numbered, and sold the car to Dale Jr. for 10 cases of Bud, a bag of weed, and some photos of Jeff Gordon's wife in the shower.
-
;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

It's good that Gordon is helping inner-city youths find employment.

No, wait! Doan do that. Ain’t fond of thieves er folks what werk fer ‘em. Keep Steve Latarte. Great crew chief.

Them boys are gonna have to keep their pants up to keep from tripping themselves on a pit stop and they won't be able to see real good with their helmets on backwards.
-
How they gonna show us their boxers if they's wearin cover alls?
Leo

If that racing fuel ever catches fire, them boxers might need some Nomex in them.

Don’t know I’ve ever seen one as brutal as that one. Maybe the second Jets-Dolphins game in a drivin’ rain in Miami last season. Damned wonder they only took one off onna stretcher.
My prayers for his full recovery.

Yeah, prayers fer that guy, but he did sign up fer it. Playin real ball can be tough. Or so I imagine.

The Steelers came away from that game with some bumps and bruises. You could really hear those hits during the game.

A very poor job of officiating the game. The Steelers were lucky to win the game. The Cardinals surprised everyone. I hope the League fines Mr. Harrison for his antics on the field. He should have been ejected.
-
Harrison shouldah been tossed. Willin’ ta bet he ain’t heard the last of it from the league or the team.
Good game I thought.
-
I was quite happy with the game. Cards made a game of it.
-
The Cards defense was too inconsistent. But it was a good game.
Slim
-
It was one of the better super bowls in recent history. A real nail biter right up to the last few seconds. Have to admit, if the cards hadn't had so many 10 and 15 yard penlaties, I do believe they would have taken it.
-
That #90 that playing nose tackle made some good plays during the game, it's a shame that the rest of the Cards defense wasn't as intense as he was. Fitzgerald and Boldin didn't get open till the second half. That Int. that Warner threw just before halftime took the MOmentum away from the Cards.
-
That was a stupid play on his part, but if it hadn't happned they might not have played as hard at anothe point. I thought the Cards were inconsistent on Offense and Defense. Still enjoyed a close game for once.
-
Yep, Super Bowls are usually "Blow Outs", I missed the first Quarter and half of the 2nd Quarter because of being at the Stockshow on Sunday.
-
Ya missed the 100 yard interception runback? That was a great moment and a SB first.
-
If I had my choice, which I did, I would rather have been right where I was at, the Stock show. I got to visit with Buck and his wife, which was worth the trip pver there.
-
Didja get ta see enny new model cows?
-
Didja get ta see enny new model cows?
;D ;D ;D

I didn't see new cows, but I did get to see a lot of bull.
-
Damn…. It’s been 15 years…. Neil Bonnett went home…. Bet he ‘n Earnhardt er havin’ a blast up there…….
The noobs on the racin’ board want Hoosiers back in the mix. Still think the Hoosiers caused the wreck what kilt ‘im. They can take their midwest, amateur dirt track attitudes ‘n their ‘real’ drivers ‘n shove ‘em where the sun don’t shine, sideways. They like it sideways.
Sorry……
Rest ya, Neil.
-
Hoosier does good on Dirt, but I don't think their tech is on a par with Goodyear. Hoosier does bias but the jury is still out on their radial stuff.
-
BOOGITY, BOOGITY, BOOGITY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Let’s go racin’ at Daytona, boys!!!!!
-
Well, WW won the first 150, he was lucky. I was surprised that the 14 car ran as good as it did. The 2nd one should be interesting, #18 is in this one.
-
Arcey, I bet that Dale and Neil are bragging about all the deer and fish that got away. RIP Boys, Arcey and I still miss Ya!
-
Tex, mi amigo. I think yer just true right.
-
I think the 2nd race was better than the first one. How about that 18 and 11, MM in #5, and the Dinger finished 10th. I was happy for him and Mayfield. I really disapponted in June Bug, I thought he would do better.
-
I was right happy with it. Figgered when the JGR cars decided ta go it’d be o’er. Must be a bad feelin’ ta hear yer spotter tell ya they’re hooked up ‘n right behind ya.
-
That's draftin' and restrictor plate racin'!
-
There's some folks awful pissed at Goodyear right about now. I think Tony's about fit ta be tied an Newman's right bahind him.
-
The right side tires get more wear than the left sides and the one batch of tires is the ones that at suspect. When a car is not handling properly, the back end moves around in the air causing the Right rear tire to scuff.
-
I wouldn't try splain that ta Smoke right now. Funnier than heck when the reporter asked him if driving the second backup car in the 500 might affect the results of the race. He said "well rocket scientist, whatta you think?"
-
Stewart whines ‘bout ennythin’. Reports, Gibson thinks the RF from Thursday was either a cut or a de-laminate. Showed no abnormal wear. On the 39 for just six laps.
Goodyear sez the one this mornin’ was cut.
The 39 backup is a fifth, unpainted thing. They only brought five cars.

He was callin it their "California car". Set up differnt. Don't rightly know exzactly what that means.
-
It’s what’s known as ‘down-force’ car. They plan on runnin’ ‘em next weekend in Fontana.
Turned out not be the one Stewart thought it was. Stewart’ll be drivin’ the car he used last weekend . Newman will be in the other ‘n last backup.
-
Thankya. They got no margin fer mishaps now.
-
It ain't gonna matter once the race starts. I'm sure they are getting other ready to bring to California back at the shop in NC. The cars they run at Daytona and Talledega are different from the other cars. Most of the tracks that they run during the year are one and a half mile in length. The Car that they run at the two superspeedways are step up different.
-
Boys……
Few more minutes, I hope, it’s time for the bullsh!t of the last couple weeks ta end, ‘n the reckonin’ ta begin………
-
When the Green flag drops, Tha BS STOPS!
-
When the Green flag drops, Tha BS STOPS!
Oh, I'm sure there'll be more whinin.
-
Let’s see…………..
43 cars, four tires each. Several sets each…..………….
Gordon has one corner wear bad. Kvapil pops one. Stemme blows a right rear. Last two most probably cut, as usual.
Just me. Thinkin’ Stewart ought ta be lookin’ at Newman’s ‘n other’s set ups ‘fore ‘e goes off on Goodyear. Decent, but not the best driver. Hot head ’n kindah stupid with a lot ah mouth…..
Congrats, Matt.
-
OK, now I'm really sure.
"Junior, you got some splainin ta do...again".
-
Sorry Arcey, didn't see yer post. Gotta agree with that. As a driver he needs ta do more than just git in the car an drive. Not sure if it's ever occured ta him what all is on the line.
-
Now that he owns two teams, he better learn. Congrats. to Matty for winnin' and tha Dinger for winnin' third.
-
Thinkin’ I’ll ride with both ya.
Didn’t wanna say nothin’ ‘bout Earnhardt ‘til I hadda chance ta look at it again. Thinkin’ that’n was all his. Reckon there’s frustration settin’ in. Drivin’ for Hendrick ‘n ain’t livin’ up ta his billin’.
Stewart better unnerstan’ he’s in the big time now.
‘Dinger third. Damn! I love it!
-
June Bug jerked that wheel back awful hard when he came off the grass back to the track. It seemed to me that all the Toyos except for 18 were choked down. I sure Kyle would have won that race if he hadn't got caught up in "The Big One". Ol' Sadler seems to have a large chip on his shoulder from his remarks he made a couple of days ago. Maybe that's what he needed. The Dodges were underpowered as usual. They Chevys were the class of the field. The Roush cars stayed close all day and capitalized on the rain shortened race.
-
Sheezzzzzz……….
Shrub wore ‘em out. That was ugly.
Used ta be an ole boy on the racin’ board. Back when Kurt won the cup. Said we ain’t seen nuthin’ yet. Wait ‘til Shrub turned 18.
-
Doin other stuff an missed it. Catch the recap later but it aint the same.
-
Ya didn’t miss much. Flag dropped ‘n Busch said ‘bye’. Led 95 of 100 laps.
-
He's leading the Nationwide race at the moment too..........Buck 8)
-
He wound up winning both races. Look out for him in the Sprint Cup race. The kid has no fear when it comes to holdin' the thing wide open around the track.
-
Busch sortah stunk it up.
Kept waitin’ for ‘debris’ flags ta bunch ‘em up. But if ya look at the numbers, 10,000 fer the trucks ‘n 15,000 fer the NNS, reckon NASCAR wuz tryin’ ta get it o’er with……..
-
Well, Ol' Matt won again yesterday. Roush seems to have that Californina track figgered out. WW used up his right sides tryin; to catch Matt. Kyle managed a Top 5 finish. Not a bad weekend for his Toyos.
-
Those Toyos have had quite an impact on sport. Hopin it would get the others ta step it up a notch, but haven't seen anything major as of yet.
-
Busch ‘n Hamlin couldn’t do anymore’n they did. Vickers may have. Put his on the pole. Too many metal shavin’s in the oil after practice ‘n qualifyin’. Changed the motor ‘n had ta start in the back. Finished tenth ‘n struggled with a carburetor set up too soft. Not much acceleration leavin’ the pits ‘n on restarts. Lost positions he had ta fight ta get back all evenin’.
-
I'm lookin' for Cousin Carl to make a statement at Vegas. Those Fords do purty good at Vegas.
-
I'm lookin' for Cousin Carl to make a statement at Vegas. Those Fords do purty good at Vegas.
I hear they kill at the crap tables ;D
It should be innerestin. I like that track an it's the perfect time of year ta run there (usualy).
-
It's one of the newer tracks on the circuit and the teams are starting to get it figured out.
-
Watched the recording of the Kobalt. I thought only dogs chased tires. It's one thing to be dumb, but to change the outcome of a race over it is perty bad.
-
The crewman had good iintentions, he was trying to keep the tire and wheel from getting on the track in front of the on coming traffic. He just did it without thinking.
-
News said NASCAR indefinitely suspended ‘im on the spot ‘n escorted ‘im off the track. Maybe well intended but awfully stupid ‘less ya got a death wish.
-
Been a strange season, that's fer sure. But I guess they all kinda are.
-
I'm sure the guy just wanted to prevent a wreck, he wasn't thinkin' about his own safety.
-
Guess the good part is ‘e didn’t get ‘imself hurt or killed. He’ll get o’er bein’ thrown out.
-
Maybe they will let him back in later on.
-
Just read the news. NASCAR settled on a four race suspension ‘n the put the crew chief on probation for four races for failure to control a crew member.
-
I would hate to see the guy lose his job permanently, Nascar has rules and everyone is responsible.
-
Hehehehehehe……..
One more crewman suspended indefinitely. Flunked the whiz quiz. Won’t be back with the team either. They fired ‘im.
They dopers say it don’t make ya stupid. All the clean, skilled crewman lookin’ for werk. KHI fired two for flunkin’ an in-house test. Had ‘em replaced by the next mornin’.
That, in my never humble opinion, is stupid. Someone waitin’ ta take yer job ‘n ya toss it to ‘em..
-
I hate to keep sayin' this, BUT, "Stupid is as Stupid does"!
-
Hell, Tex. It’s dead on accurate. Keep on beatin’ the drum.
Folks kin knock Harvick all they want. Fact is he implemented his own drug testin’ program fer KHI before NASCAR adopted a stricter ‘n more comprehensive policy. On top of that, DeLana ‘n he are the first in line fer the testin’. They open the results for everyone to see. I gottah respect that.
-
Those guys are given rock star status and they are all under a microscope by the press. It's a postive for Harvick to get his business out front of everybody.
-
Known morons like that in construction. Get told the insurance company requires drug tests an they do em anyway. Thought everybody knew by now that the stuff don't just leave yer system over night. Guess there's a bunch who were stoned that day in class an missed the info.
-
They's some folks what thinks they's smarter than the tests.
-
Used ta be rumors goin around that ya could beat a breathalizer by puttin pennies in yer mouth. Whata ya think the first question a cop is gonna ask when ya got a mouthfull a pennies? There's some really fine specimines a humanity out there. Hope none of them choked themselves balievin it was true.
-
Was a licensed ‘n certified Breathalyzer operator by the Commonwealth of Virginia for a while. Trust me. Ya ain’t gonna blow inta that machine with anything in yer mouth other than a tounge ‘n some teeth.
Want my pards ta know I’m sober when I handle loaded firearms ‘round ‘em. Toys or not, if it takes a l’il pee in a bottle so be it. No sweat. Hell, I done done it for the city of Norfolk ‘n NAPA twice.
These guys are runnin’ 200 mph on the track inna 3450 pound hunk of machinery. They gottah know the boys what put it tagether have their heads on straight. Then the over the wall crew are stickin’ their necks out jumpin’ over the wall ta service the cars. They rate the same respect for their safety, accordin’ ta me.
-
Well like ya said, there's a lot of guys out there capable of filling the job without puttin others necks on the line.
-
With all the downsizing in the sport, competition for the jobs is gonna be tough.
-
They're gonna have ta take the Darwin approach an chose careful.
-
I guess I otta feel funny, but I've never had to take a drug test. I hope Arcey and I don't suffer any withdrawl symptoms from not having a NASCAR race this weekend.
-
Took one at MEPS an another fer a plumbin job. When I took that second one the lab guy tolt me it was too clear. It was the middle of summer an I was diggin ditches out in the sun all day. Drank bout 2 gallons a water everyday to keep hydrated. The guy acted like I had handed him a cup full of pure water even though he watched me go.
-
Only bad time I’ve had was the last time. Didn’t have ta pee. All they had ta hekp was water, no coffee. Sat there o’er an hour before the celebrated event.
Looks of the weather there wouldn’t be racin’ if it was scheduled fer this weekend. What hurts werse is a pard of mine went ta SC for a big shoot he’s been lookin’ forward to. Weather prediction is as wet ‘n chilly as it is here.
-
That happened ta one of the guys at MEPS. Mebbe he didn't like bein elbow ta elbow with a bunch of other guys with a sgt starin at his goods. They wrote the poor guy guy off as "refusal to submit sample". He was going fer the Marines an his recruiter tore 'im a new one in the hallway as if the kid was already in the service. He tried 3 times er so and ended up loosin his cookies all over the bathroom wall. Guess things worked out fer the best fer him. Barfin under stress is frowned upon in the Corps.
Weather's just too dern nice here taday. A littlle chilly but not bad. Lil wants ta go shoot as soon as I finish ma phonecalls. Only got a couple left.
-
Throwin' up on your enemy, That's a different approach. Arcey, I think we would have to west of the Mississippi to see any Nascar this weekend.
-
That Vegas track woulda been right pleasant this weekend.
-
Reckon Phoenix would too.
But it’s a weekend end off. Maybe it’ll clear up for next weekend.
-
March is hangin' tuff!
-
March is hangin' tuff!
Always been one of our worst months out here fer the last few years.
-
It lulls ya into a false sense of security.
-
Here too. Wonder whut kindah politics schedules Bristol for this time a year. Snowed on ‘em year ‘fore last. I remember Richmond in February. That was about smart. Still think that’s what NASCAR used ta kill Rockingham ‘n move the date away from the south east.
Thing is, if they tried ta kill Bristol they’d be facin’ crazed lynch mobs.
-
I don't think they ever get rid of "the paperclip".
-
Thinkin’ they will. Been waitin’ on it, Tex. Know it’s comin’. Richmond ‘n Bristol are too close to it in time ‘n distance. They usually have better racin’ ‘n draw bigger crowds.
-
If yer talkin Martinsville, i'd be sad to see it go. Been around a long time.
-
That place is tough on brakes and sheetmetal.
-
The cars were a lot differnt back in the 40's.
-
They were real "stock cars" back then. Sometimes they would drive the cars to the track and then race them.
-
Back ta football fer a minute, looks like Mr. Stallworth may be history. Got a fat contract, didn't play much cause of a hamstring an now he runs some poor guy over with his Bentley. It'll be interestin ta see what happens.
-
My Question is, What is he doin' that time of the mornin'? I got my own ideas about that, I've been a cop too long.
-
The Akron paper said there weren’t no charges yet. No note of anything but cooperation on his part. Lots ah times the pedestrian is wrong in these accidents. Reckon we’ll see.
Tex. See if this’n brings back a memory or three:
http://www.news-journalonline.com/NewsJournalOnline/Opinion/Columnists/MyTwoCents/colTWO031409.htm
-
Geez, here we go again! ::) It ain't even training camp yet :o Since they brought that team back, it's been snake bit......Buck 8)
-
Hell, Buck. Bright side is y’all could get Tyrell Owen ta fill the vacant roster spot if Stallworth can’t play.
-
That'd be a good one, Arcey ::) :o Believe T.O. signed with the Bills last week. He'd be like jumping from the frying pan into the fire ::) ;D
-
Yep, Dallas's gain is Buffalo's loss!
-
Hell of a way ta lose a race. Busch had ‘em covered in that JGR Toyota. Crew letta tire get away. Oh well. Can’t do that. Rules is rules. Maybe next time.
-
Kyle is good in anything he drives and he is fearless whenit comes to drivin' a loose racecar.
-
Selected observations. Your mileage may vary.
Kyle Busch. Wore ‘em to a frazzle.
Hamlin second. The place still owes ‘im.
Johnson ‘n Gordon. Countin’ ‘em out is a big mistake.
Kahne – luck.
Martin. Was gonna win. Yeah…….
Newman needed it.
Burton is Burton. Best of the RCR cars.
Junior 14th. Last of the Hendrick cars. Never a factor.
Edwards – ‘I got beat by Junior?!?!?!?!’
For the junk he’s drivin’, a good run for ‘Dinger.
Stewart. The greatest driver whut ever lived. Glad ta be back inna Chebby. Wonder what he’ll blame it on this time. But never fret! The one, the only, the original greatest driver of all time, your hero, SUPER TEX…. was just a NASCAR field filler when he drove his own number 14. The Wood Brothers kept on winnin’ without ‘im. Gibbs will keep on winnin’ without you. Smoke.
Kvapil. Drove the 28 ta finish ahead of the other two Yates cars. Menard is Menard. Labonte watched the car he used ta drive win. But come next week, Labonte ‘n Menard will be there, Kvapil won’t. A matter of money instead of talent. That’s racin’
Truex best be in the market for a new ride in ’10. The money is goin’ ta the 42.
Vickers ‘n Harvick. Sheez……
That’s Bristol…..
-
Beatin' and bangin' at Bristol.
-
That was a right fine summation Arcey. Perty much why I'm a casual and not ardent fan these days. It's just too hard not ta watch.
-
Leo, I ain;t no Basketball fan, pro or NCAA. I'll be glad when March Madness is over and the regular Baseball season starts. Nascar has 3 Series to watch, I watch the Truck and the Nationwide series. I follow the PRCA and the PBR which are at night. I'll be counting the days till the hardwoods are silent.
-
My sincere condolences to his family..
Sad News - Lloyd Ruby: Racing legend Lloyd Ruby, a lifelong resident of Wichita Falls, passed away Monday night in Wichita Falls. TX. He was 81. Services will be at 2pm Saturday [March 28] at the Wichita Falls MPEC, Exhibit Hall A. Visitation will be from 5:30-7pm Friday at Lunn's Colonial Funeral Home. Burial will be in Riverside Cemetery. Ruby won seven times on the USAC Championship Car Series in his career and also had endurance racing victories in the 24 Hours of Daytona, the 12 Hours of Sebring and the United States Grand Prix. But he is best known for the race he didn’t win. Ruby raced in 18 straight Indianapolis 500s from 1960-77, led in five of them and was out front for 126 laps. But he never won open wheel racing’s most prestigious prize. His biography, written by Ted Buss in 2000, was titled: "Lloyd Ruby: The Greatest Driver Never to Win the Indy 500." Ruby’s best finish at Indianapolis was third in 1964. His only other top five finish at the 500 came in 1968. Five other times he placed in the top 10. In 1991, he was inducted into the Indianapolis 500 Hall of Fame. "When I was coming up through the ranks of racing, Lloyd Ruby was my hero", said Al Unser, a four-time 500 winner."He was honest and a hard racer. He didn’t pull bad things on you. You could run wheel to wheel with him and you didn’t have to worry about Lloyd. He made the race car talk. He was just as good as anybody. He was never secondary. Look at the record book. He should have won it (Indy) five or six times. Things just seem to happen. You wonder why people with the ability of Lloyd were not able to win. But he won everything else." Ruby teamed with Ken Miles for his endurance wins at Daytona and Sebring in 1966 and also the World Sportscar Championship in 1966 and 1968. Ruby’s racing career was honored with the Bruton Smith Legends Award at the Texas Motor Sports Hall of Fame in Fort Worth in 2005. Last year he was inducted into the Midget Auto Racing Hall of Fame in Tulsa and also named co-recipient of the Louis Meyer Award along with Helio Castroneves at the Auto Racing Hall of Fame induction ceremony and special recognition dinner in Indianapolis.(Times Record News), Ruby also ran one Sprint Cup race, at Riverside in January 1967, finishing 22nd in a Junior Johnson owned car.(3-24-2009)
-
Arcey, I had lost track of Lloyd. They named a road in honor of him up there in Wichita Falls. Another guy I have lost track of is Jim Mclreath. I watched him and Lloyd run at Indy. Jim lived in Arlington at one time.
-
The Daytona victory was in a GT-40 Mark II. The big brutes that Ford put together to bludgeon Ferrarri to death. 427 NASCAR engines , big iron, plenty of horsepower, and loads of endurance................Buck 8) ::) ;)
-
Ruby is one of the few I remember from back in the day of open wheel. Thought he had won one at Indy – thought wrong. Heaven is collectin’ one heck of a field. May he rest in peace.
Saw one of the GT-40s at a car show years ago. Looked like it was runnin' a hundred sittin' still.....
-
It seemed that LLoyd was "snake bit" when it came to Indy. It always seemed that just about the time he had the race in hand, he would have some kind of mechanical trouble.
-
From what I can see Martinsville looks good. Wendy’s shirts are still too small. One these days, I’m goin’ thru the screen……
-
Them's gotta be some strong buttons holes!
-
Kevlar….. Gottah be…….
-
Ya gotta Luv that High-Definition TV!
-
Arcey, I got the Zoom turned on just in case Wendy is on today. The wind seems to be blowin' the cars around pretty good. The Cup cars are practicing right now. The 00 is sitting on the pole for the Cup race tomorrow.
-
I just found out that Kyle won the Nationwide race this afternoon. Stewart won 2nd and Brad K won 3rd.
-
Watched the tape.
Damned glad there was only one other Toyota in the top ten er NASCAR’d be chokin’ ‘em down again.
-
Arcey, You know that if Hendrick was runnin' Toyotas that there wouldn't be any problems.
-
Whut, in the name of hell, is a freakin’ Chicken Dance?
-
Arcey, It's a dance they do up the Northern parts, usually at wedding parties, after the wedding.
-
Yeah, it follows the macerena an the bunny hop.
Honestly, I have no idea what it is either, but it sure sounds dumb.
-
They're trying to set a Guinness Book of Records for the largest "Chicken Dance" ever done.
-
Well, i see they got " The Big One" out of the way early................ :o ::)
-
Buck, There's another one expected near the end of the race.
-
Arcey, It's a dance they do up the Northern parts, usually at wedding parties, after the wedding.
The Chicken Dance is real stupid. Yep, it is done up here. Definitely not proud of it.
Slim
-
Apparently, they got the record for the most people in one place doing the "Chicken Dance".
-
You were right, TLD. Man, that could've been really bad............ :o :o ::)
-
‘Preciate the explanation, y’all.
Ain’t heard no news yet on the last lap thing ‘cept they were treatin’ folks in the stands. I pray it weren’t as bad as it looked to me with juck flyin’ all o’er the place.
-
Edwards walked away from it, matter of fact, he walked to the finish line. Not sure about the driver of the car he rolled over...................Buck 8) :o
-
All the drivers are ok. The cars are tanks. Edwards landed on Newman. What looked like that’s what launched the 99. ‘Fore that looked ta me the flaps were puttin’ it down.
Eight people hurt. None life threatenin’. Bruises, lacerations ‘n fractures. Two women air lifted to the hospital. One smacked in the face. Jaw may be broken.
-
Ya know, watchin' them races is a lot safer and cheaper too.
-
If ya mean ‘watchin’ from home’, yeah. No line at the port-a-potty……….
-
Arcey, At our age, the distance to the bathroom is a definite consideration.
-
It doesn't look like the Truck race on hold again due to the rain.
-
Awwww hell, boys. There are days when ya just wish ya hadn’t read the news.
From the Charlotte Observer/Thatsracin: David Poole, an Observer reporter who became one of country’s leading authorities on NASCAR, died of a heart attack this afternoon. He was 50. Poole had just returned from last week’s race at Talledega, Ala. He was at his Stanfield home when the heart attack occurred. His daughter called 911. Emergency crews rushed him to the hospital in Stanly County, where he was pronounced dead. Poole, a Gastonia native, became the Observer’s NASCAR writer 13 years ago. He hosted "The Morning Drive" show weekday mornings on Sirius NASCAR Radio. He was a four-time winner of the National Motorsports Press Association’s George Cunningham Award as the organization's writer of the year. “He was the best in his field, there’s no doubt about that,” Observer editor Rick Thames said this afternoon in announcing Poole’s death to a hushed newsroom. Poole’s final column ran the day he died. In it he called the track at Talledega an “anachronism” after a day of dramatic crashes Sunday. “Talk about guys who own their beat, that’s what David did,” said Observer sports editor Mike Persinger. Guest book: Post your condolences.(4-28-2009)
I read every article Poole wrote. If he published it ya could take it to the bank.
Poole was grossly overweight. I often wondered how he flew. Guess it got ‘im.
Go forth, David Poole. Live with the Lord forever. You will be sorely missed.
(http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_UfBePUbn2Us/STQz53Li4YI/AAAAAAAADk8/I62Y4O8TqHY/s400/davidpoole)
-
Go in peace.
Yer right about them days ya wish ya skipped the paper.
-
Arey, I've read some of his articles and listened to him on Sirius. I get Sirius with my Dish network package. He will be missed.
-
Arcey, I noticed in the last week or so the Dodge engines have been blowin' up. It noticed it in the ARCA race as well as NASCAR.
-
Thought them whut weren’t wrecked were runnin’. Honorable mentions ta the 2, sixth, ‘n the 43 in eleventh.
Knew Petty found problems with two motors durin’ practice so they changed ‘em in all three cars ‘n had ta start ‘em in the back. Don’t think they’re runnin’ the new motor yet.
Ya know me. Wouldn’t have a Chrysler onna bet but I don’t want ‘em out of the game. With the gooberment runnin’ the show I wunner how much longer.
Got busy ‘n fergot the ARCA race.
Onna ‘nother note, hearin’ the tire tests it Indianapolis didn’t go well. If I was runnin’ the show this year’d be it if George won’t fix it. Move the date ta Iowa. That’s a nice track. State of the art.
-
I know they make a lot of money on the Brickyard race, but I guess I'm too "OLD SCHOOL". Indy is too narrow for stock cars and the track can be dangerous at any speed. The tire problem last year was terrible. Goodyear needs to solve the problem NOW! THe Dinger lost a couple of engines at Talladega last week, and you're right about RPM still using the old engine.
-
They got ‘em ta twenty five. Better’n last year but it ain’t a fuel run.
I’m old school too but I’m old school stock car. Me, I, a committee of one, opinion, is thinkin’ all George wants ‘em there for is the same thing NASCAR wants ‘em there for – money. George needs it, NASCAR doesn’t. George is oriented to the other stuff ‘n that means Firestone. He’s configured the track to suit that combination. I have Firestones on the truck now. My second ‘n last set of ‘em.
With the current car ‘n the grooves cut in the track, on top of tryin’ ta develop a totally new tire fer week ta week racin’, that track is takin’ too much time, effort ‘n money on Goodyear’s part.
I can be ruthless. I see what’s happenin’ with the open wheel stuff. Some folks are sayin’ it’s dyin’. Looks more ta me it’s committin’ suicide. Leave. Three ‘er four years, buy the place fer pennies on the dollar, fix it fer stock cars then go back.

I liked Indy when it was USAC open wheel and the old front engine Offy roadsters. I never any luck with Firestone Tires. The County uses Firestone tires and I always had prolems with the tires on my take-home. I wouldn't have a set either. I bought a set of HANKOOK tires for my Gold Pickup. So far, they have been good.
-
The truck requires a speed rated tire. Was werkin’ fer NAPA ‘n asked Ski ta make a few calls. Sounded like ah good deal on the Firestones. Been a long time since the first set. Figgered things had changed. Didn’t. Good ta the new wears off. After that they’re junk. Never again. I’ll pay more for Goodyears or Toyos. Never had a bad Goodyear ‘n Toyo is supposed ta be the best goin’ right now.
Ain’t got no say in it. They awready have Silver Crown cars with different motors ‘n chassis. Seems ta me them would be mighty fun ta watch fer 500 miles. Let the teams run wild with ‘em like they did when I was a kid, within safety perimeters. Hurt me seein’ what they did ta Granatelli’s turbines. He had a better idea ‘n it was kilt. Ain’t been the same since.
Ya prolly know more ‘bout it than I do. Just seems back in the day that race was wide open. Run what ya brung.
-
Most everybody had a Kurtis chassis and an Offy engine. The cars were as even as possible. No computers, No power steering, just a driver and his car. There was nothing like it ever. Indy is Indy.
-
Skippin back ta what Arcey said about Chrysler, thinkin their NASCAR days'll be hangin by a thread soon. NASCAR is not a socialist nations sport. Thanks ta them idiots were one step closer ta bein one.
Rant out.
-
If you believe what the news is saying, Chrysler is planning on declaring Chapter 11 soon.
-
Well they did it TLD and they are hooking up with FIAT, the goobermint sez it's a good thing. I'm not sure, the only FIATs I ever dealt with were a pain to keep running, it will be interesting to see what happens, FIAT will own 20% of Chrysler, that our tax money to the tune of another 8 billion will buy us 8%. BO sez that they have to pay back the taxpayer before FIAT can buy anymore of a share in Chrysler.
-
Fiat= Fix It Again Tomorrow. Who'd ever a thought it'd come ta this?
-
I had a Fiat 124 hit my welding truck head-on on Hwy 54 in the Oklahoma Panhandle when I still lived there. The driver suffered a broken hip and serious injuries. His female passenger was killed when the hood came loose and came back through the windshield. I think about that anytime I see a green 124. I an't had much use for them.
-
That's terrible Tex. They always said green was an unlucky color, or BRG at least.
-
That happened 40 years ago, it seems like yesterday.
-
Damn…….
Really don’t wanna whine.
Sit ta watch NNW series qualifyin’. First out is the 27. I know in this economy sponsors are hard ta come by but damn. The car has Cottonelle on the hood, Huggies on the TV panel. That’s bad ‘nuff. But the thing has Kotex on the quarters.
Long for the days of Purolator, Busch beer ‘n STP.
Kotex…… That’s just sick…….
-
Keep an eye out fer Masengil er Summer Eve in the near future.
-
Arcey, Do you remember several years ago, A female driver in the Busch series whose car was sponsored by Ramses.
-
Ken hear the announcer now, And as they come around into turn 4 the number 27 Kotex car seems to be stuck in a tight spot. :o
-
That's a good one LIT!
-
Irish is certainly a clever one!
-
I watched the race last night and noticed the car that Arcey was talking about. The lettering was prominent on the side of the car.
-
The Cowboy’s practice facility. Whew. From the looks of things that could have been awful bad.
This Redskin fan is grateful it wasn’t any werse. For those injured, a prayer for speedy ‘n complete recoveries. No ill wishes here. It’s only a game.

It looked pretty scary.
I usually don't watch auto racing. But yesterday before the Derby, I watched some of the race. I noticed periodically that there was flame coming from underneath on the right side in front of the rear tire of some of the cars. It usually happened on the corners. My assumption is that is the tail pipe and when they shift down the flame comes out. Is that what it is?

Raw fuel in the header pipes.

Arcey, We had 60 mph winds come through about 3:15 pm, we live about 10 miles south of Cowboy Ranch. The special teams coach possibly has a broken back. He seems to be most seriously injured.
-
Just saw a bite on my home page that the coach is paralyzed :(
-
I got some news this morning about the condition of the Special Teams coach. He has a broken vertabrae in his back. A scouting assistant is paralyzed from the waist down. The Special Teams coach doesn't seem to have paralysis.
-
I'll be praying.
Slim
-
That’s sad.
Looked it the video of the place this mornin’ on the Dallas Mornin’ News site. It’s a wunner no one was killed.
-
The storm moved through the area real fast and I guess the Cowboys were unprepared. They were lucky that no one was killed. That scouting assistant that was paralyzed in the accident is only 33 years old. The Special Teams coach doesn't have any paralysis.
-
It's a miracle no one was killed when you see the video of that place coming down. Prayers up for them that were hurt.
-
I'm hoping that Jerry picks up the tabs for all the victims medical bills, That's the least he could do. He was at the Kentucky Derby being a "big shot". I sure wish he would sell the Cowboys and move back to Arkansas.
-
Guessin the reality of it is that Jerry has an insurance policy an he won't feel a beit of sting over it.
-
I'm thinkin' that he should go out of his way in this situation.
-
That would be the right thing ta do. We'll just have ta see if he mans up.
-
The info is that work was done on the strucure last year, but the work was not inspected. If that's the case, the insurance company may not be anxious to settle any claims. Jerry may have to pay up after all.

Sorry to hear this

Was on the racin’ board yesterevenin’. Sad.
He’d tested positive before ‘n got suspended. NASCAR wrote the testin’ policy ta allow ‘em ta test anyone at anytime. After the suspension was lifted he tore a car up ‘n NASCAR wanted ta test ‘im. He refused.
Read ‘is press release. Said he didn’t understand it the time they come for ‘im cuz the wreck knocked ‘im silly. ‘Course NASCAR don’t say much of its side in public ‘n their charges ‘n specs are kindah vague. Just his side, I thought the boy may have had a point. Turnt out he didn’t cuz NASCAR gave ‘im a second chance later.
-
It's a shame for a young man to die at that age. especially if drugs are involved.
-
Passin in a motel aint no way ta go out. Be innerested in seein the investigation results.
-
The philosophy is a 31 year old body ain’t supposed ta be dead unless there’s a history. Henrico statement indicates an undetermined death. The media is sayin’ suicide. The same media that doesn’t know a robbery from a larceny to a burglary. It’ll be an ME’s case…

From the Henrico Citizen
Police: Former Nascar Driver Committed Suicide
UPDATED: MAY 7, 3:05 P.M. - An autopsy has concluded that formed NASCAR driver Kevin Grubb, who was found dead in a northside motel yesterday, committed suicide, Henrico Police said today.
Grubb died from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head at the Alpine Motel in the 7000 block of Brook Road, according to Henrico Police Lt. Doug Perry.
A toxicology test was performed on Grubb's body, but results could take six weeks, Perry said.
Grubb, 31 and a native of Mechanicsville, had been suspended indefinitely by NASCAR in 2006 following his second violation of the organization's substance abuse policy.
-
Didn't wanna say it the first time but from what I've seen most motel death's er suicides. Had a few around here. Always the same. Don't bet on morbid stuff but if I did I'd wager there was a note, or several.
Hate it when folks don't see no other way, don't unnerstand.
-
I'm sure Kevin's life revolved racing. His racing career was over and he felt is life was over too. Suicide was the last resort for him.
-
Haddah good pard years ago. Ate ‘n slept drag racin’. Thought it was all he knew
‘n all ‘e’d ever know ta make a livin’. Both of us were raised ‘round it when most folks looked down on it. I’ll admit, many a time I got ready ta load my tools in the car ‘n move ta Charlotte.
I went back ta school, ‘e went ta the Navy cuz ‘is folks were threatenin’ ta throw ‘im out.
Last I saw ‘n talked ta ‘im, the Navy had taught ‘im ta run nuclear reactors. Served ‘is country with honor, got out ‘n took a job with Duke Power in Carolina werkin’ a nuclear power plant fer a hell of a lot more money than I made as a dumb assed cop.
Bottom line is both us did ok without racin’.
Grubb had the same options. There are many talented folks that for one reason or ‘nother can’t find a job in racin’. Grubb had it via a rich daddy ‘n ‘e blew it. He was doin’ well drivin’ for Brewco. Wondered why they fired ‘im. Guess they figgered it out ‘fore NASCAR did.
-
I did the amatuer thing in drag racing in the 60s when I was in high school. I won some throphies, but not much money. I would have like to have tried my hand at drivin' in NASCAR or INDY. There wern't no drivin' schools and didn't have any money. It would have been fun, I think.
-
I'm sure Kevin's life revolved racing. His racing career was over and he felt is life was over too. Suicide was the last resort for him.
Like I said, I don't unnerstand that. Mebbe the last motel, but never the last resort. Sorry fer the bad pun but there's always a new day comin, new opportunities an new folks ta meet.
-
I'm sure it's tough on the parents also. Parents don't expect to have to bury their kids.
-
James, I could tell ya more about that then you'd ever want to hear. That's why I get so pissed when someone takes the cowards way out.
I'll step down now.
-
Leo, You forget that I spent almost 15 years as a patrol cop. I've investigated several suicides, and not just by gunshots.
-
Yer up late.
I wasn't talkin bout suicide but parents burying their kids.
I can only imagine some of the things you had to see.
-
I didn't watch the NNS race last night at Darlington. I checked Nascar.com this morning and found out the Bif won. Leffler finished 2nd and cuzzin Carl finished 3rd.
-
Actually, Kenseth won. Biffle wasn’t in the race.
Busch had ‘em covered, again, but cut a tire late. Led the most laps.
-
I just saw the picture of the 16 car and thought it was the Bif. Kyle is always a factor in the race, no matter what Series it is.
-
Gonna take a second and give a nod ta James Harrison. Don't care what his reasons were but he told BO ta stuff his invitation ta the White House. How many folks get the opportunity ta slap that SOB in the face. I wouldn't go either an if the media chose ta rake me over the coals after a 100 innerception return they could kiss off too.
Hey, who left this soap box sittin in here. I'll jus' go put it away now.
-
Leo, He didn't go to the White House when George W was President either.
-
I saw that, but I see this time around as a little bit different. Same basic reason, but he's showin he's a man that sticks ta his values no matter who the other feller is.
-
He played College ball at Kent St., the same school that Jack Lambert played .
-
What happens when ya race on a poorly designed track in a third world country.
Rest in peace, Pardo. My prayers for comfort for the family and friends.
Be warned. This ain’t pretty.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t46o2CtwyaY
-
That was frikken horrid. It takes a lot ta make me cringe, but that did it.
God bless his family.
Who designed that mousetrap?
-
The track is near Mexico City. Suspect someone down there put it tagether.
NASCAR had ta have stuff done ta the road course thing in Mexico to eliminate some safety hazards. They don’t run there namore. The locals couldn’t run with the pros ‘n the payin’ customers quit showin’ up.
-
When did it happen? The Nationwide Series ran some races down there but quit. The Cup series never ran there. I'm sure those are for the most part old hand-me-down cars purchased from US teams.
-
Think it was Sunday, Tex.
Reckon the cars could be cast offs. What was left of the cage didn’t look ta be up ta specs but as bad as it was torn up it’s hard ta make that call.
They ran the road course for four races when it was Busch. IMS, Truex won the first, Hamlin the second, Montoya the third ‘n Kyle Busch the last.
BTW, Johnny Benson was hurt right bad Saturday night drivin’ a super modified. Busted ribs, punctured lung ‘n minor burns. Fair condition.
-
You're right about the steel in that roll cage. It looks a little thin. I remember that Busch race that Mikey Waltrip was in at Bristol when he was still driving for Bahari. What's left of that car is in the Museum at Talledega. I hadn't heard that about Benson. That's prolly put him out of the Trucks for a while.
-
Benson lost the truck ride. No sponsor ‘n Red Horse folded the 1 team. RUMOR is they had Remington all lined up but Speed TV said they wouldn’t put a camera on it because of the gun angle. Don’t unnerstan it. They don’t have a problem with GunBroker.com.
He was supposed to drive the 51 this weekend spellin’ Busch. Busch is gonna be kindah busy flyin’ twix Sonoma ‘n Milwaukie.
-
Kyle was busy last weekend too. I haven't been following the races much lately.
-
Kindah saw this comin’. With the ‘big three’ pullin’ financial support for the trucks ‘n Nationwide cars Toyota is followin’. Really no need in pumpin’ money inta sumthin’ when yer opponents ain’t. Even choked down more’n the others they’re still competitive.
Cup side. Childress is suin’ Gooberment Motors for a missed two ‘n a half million buck quarterly payment. Wunner if Hendrick is gettin’ his. Fiat ain’t payin’ Petty. Rumor is they’re still payin’ Penske. Petty’ll be puttin’ Kahne inna Toyota ‘fore the season’s over leavin’ the team’s other three Dodges for now. Look fer Sadler ‘n Sorenson ta be unemployed come ’10.
Addin’ ta the fun, Truex leavin’ fer Mikey’s #55 ride is gonna leave Montoya all alone at ‘Chip ‘n Dale’. Ganassi has strong ties with Lexus. A Lexus is a fancy Toyota like Cadillac is ta Chevrolet. Target is committed as a sponsor. The only thing keepin’ Gibbs from a fourth car is sponsorship. Maybe ‘nother merger?
Red Bull feels like they’re gettin’ the short end of the stick from Toyota ‘n threatenin’ ta switch ta Chevrolet. They’ve gottah attitude ‘n lack of talent problem with Speed. Prolly kickin’ themselves fer dumpin’ ‘Dinger fer the prima donna. 'He HAS to be an amazin' talent, he drove f1!'
Silly Season is here.
-
It seems like "silly season" gets here earlier every year.
-
I wonder if Honda and Nissan will enter the fray, after all why let Toyota have all the glory!
-
Honda is already in open wheel racing. That Nissan 350 Z seems like a good choice for a Nascar body.
-
Rumor is there’s talk twix NASCAR ‘n Honda already.
-
If Lexus is gonna be run, that'll be the team ta watch. They is Toyos but it's like they got a German engineer ta point some stuff out.
-
I figger that RCR and HMS will be the last Chevy teams to go. Hendrick owned some Honda dealerships at one time.
-
Swipin’ more’n ‘is share ah Hondas for ‘is car lots is whut the thief got caught for. Far as I know ‘e still sells ‘em ‘n Toyotas too.
Gooberment Motors has already cut the money ta RCR. Why Childress is suin’. He’ll still run Chevrolets. Shell ‘n Jack Daniels ain’t lookin’ ta be back next year. He’s sayin’ if he can’t get sumthin’ ta replace ‘em he’s gonna drop ta two cars.
Won’t be a Lexus it’ll be a Camry. Ganassi will use the Lexus connection ta get TRD parts, pieces ‘n tech support. Ain’t no Germans or Japs in the mix. TRD is American. Americans know NASCAR. The others don’t.
Wanna see if the Petty/Kahne/Toyota thing flies.
-
Harvick ain't been doin' good as of late, his job is on the line as far I'm concerned, and I think he would like to be his own boss in Sprint cup. I figger that Burton is the only one whose ride is secure.
-
Now I's confused (not unusual) an am gonna ask a stupid question.
I see several everyday Toyota trucks with the Toyota Racin Devopment logo on them straight from the showroom. Does that mean that them trucks were designed by Americans an the japs built em? I'm bein serious here, I never woulda dreamed they would take engineering cues from stupid lazy ol' us.
I aint tryin ta be a smart ass, I really wanna know.
-
Leo, the trucks are built in the USA and the TRD is for their off-road racing programs.
-
The Toyota truck we got last year is a TRD, it has that biggest V6, and a few extras on the engine, it has a heavy duty suspension, different wheels, heavy off road shocks. it has a 120 volt plug in in the back of the pickup, the trailer towin package. electric lockin differential, 4 wheel drive. just all the little bells and whistles.
It will run like a stripped ape, for a V6
-
Well see, ya learn somethin everyday. As the guys in the stadium used ta say, "Ya can't tell who's who without a program".
-
OT, It's a nice truck and it's a 4 door. Sometimes that 4WD comes in handy when the weather gets bad. There was plenty of leg room in the cab for my big butt.
-
My S-Runner was assembled in California. There aren't any decals on it. Anyone would think she's a base model until they look a l'il closer.
Engines, transmissions, stampin’s ‘, such are done overseas ‘n shipped here for assembly, The Tundra was a concept born here. Japan didn’t know anythin’ ‘bout full sized trucks. TRD is an original Japanese project for big go karts raced o’erseas. The branches of TRD we see here were born here. Off road ‘n NASCAR.
The NASCAR motors bear no resemblance to anything Toyota sells. They’re cam-in-block push rod V8s with a carburetor. Some say they’re very close to the Dodge motors but improved. When Bill Davis signed on with Toyota it was alleged he provided Dodge engines to American Toyota engineers. Davis was runnin’ Dodges at the time. Dodge sued Davis o’er it ‘n won.
Can’t confirm it but Dodge may not be home grown either. It’s said they found castin’ equipment in South America. It was for Ford 302s. So much for the ‘HIMMY’. The heads were opened up ‘n valve size increased. In their stock form a Windsor 302 can’t breathe. Valves, intake ‘n exhaust runners are too small. That’s why Ford developed the BOSS 302 motor in a limited edition.
Chevrolet’s current is a British designed ‘n cast motor. They’re finished ‘n built here.
As it stands now, only Ford is racin’ a motor that’s actually based on a stock offerin’ ‘n that’s gonna change next season. Ford is askin’ for approval onna new motor. I believe Doug Yates designed it. Don’t know who is settin’ up ta cast the parts. Prolly go o’erseas. Cheaper ‘n the quality is high. They don’t have organized labor or restrictive gooberment laws ‘n taxes to put up with.
-
Thanks, I like ta know that kinda stuff.
Had a boss that ran a Tundra (it had the TRD) an he swore that thing could go anywhere cept fer on ice, an aint many vehicles that can. Snow, mud er plain off road he was happy as a clam with that thing. Nice ta know we had somethin ta do with it.
-
The Ford Cleveland engine was originally designed for Marine use. The engine was first introduced in 69. The engines were built and assembled at the Ford plant in Cleveland Ohio. The Cleveland engine blocks are more sturdy and the heads have bigger valves and better valve angles to take in more air/fuel mixture and bigger exhaust valves to let more burned mixture out. Orignal Cleveland heads are pricey in the secondary market.
-
When I was a kid, word on the street was the Windsor was better than Cleavland. That don't mean it was true, we were just kids. Everybody wanted a BOSS. 289's an 302 were real popular then for the Ford guys I knew.
-
In 62, Ford built a small block V8 as an option for their new mid-size model, the Fairlane. The engine started out as a 221 cu in, in 63, it grew to 260. When the Mustang came out late in 64, it was up a 289. The 289 and the 302 are two different engines.
-
That ‘word’ was wrong, Leo. The Cleveland had more ass than the Windsor.
When Ford quit production of the Cleveland motor the Melling, aka the Elliotts, had agents as far as Australia lookin’ for blocks ‘n heads in junk yards. They offered to buy or pay Ford for fresh parts. Ford refused. The Elliott dominance ended. Bill quit ‘n drove for other folks. Divorced his fat wife, married a gold digger ‘n moved to Colorado.
Today, Ernie Elliott builds one ah the best Dodge motors goin’. Penske has the edge with the new ones. It would figure Ernie would build good motors. They’re the same Ford motors he’s been wrenchin’ fer twenty five years. Just has Dodge part numbers stamped on ‘em.

This has been one hell of a good history lesson.
Pop, I didn't say the 289 an the 302 were the same engine, they were both just popular with the kids. Now a 429 an a 460 are the same engine with differnt deck heights.
Anyhow, I love readin this stuff an learnin from the folks who know.
-
Leo, It sorta helps when your Dad is a Ford mechanic and a service manager for the local Ford dealer. He learned to work on Model Ts in the late 20s. He opened up a garage and wrecking yard when he returned from WW2. He helped me build my first engine as a teenager. He was a Ford man. I think that he liked the flatheads the best.
-
Kindah funny when ya think on it.
My Daddy was a shop foreman for a truckin’ company. Oversaw everythin’ from maintenance ‘n repair ta full overhauls ta recappin’ tires. On weekends he took in work for himself. I was a kid helpin’ the greatest car artist on earth. My hero, my Dad. Oilers on Y blocks in that shack of a garage. Half the price the dealers charged. Never a return – done right the first time.
The ole boy loved Flatheads. Talk ‘bout ‘em for hours. What he ‘n Uncle Tommy used in the modified they owned tagether. Ya could see it in his face when we’d visit the Whitt’s ‘n Charlie’d be werkin’ on one o’er the pit. Charlie was a magician with a Flathead. Knew which plug wires ta pull ‘n the motor’d still run quiet ‘n smooth.
The funny part? We turned out werthless cops…….
-
I think both you fellers would get along good with ma buddy Charlie. Ain nothin on an old truck he can't fix. He'll do cars too, but the trucks is his love. He's up in years now an don't do much of the wrenchin but he'll give advise all day long unless ya question him. Then he gets quiet an let's ya screw things up. He'll lend ya his tools with out battin an eye, but if ya don't thank him when yer done you'll never see another one. Aint nothin I wouldn't do fer that man, I'll owe him ferever.
-
The 351 Cleveland's weak spot was the main bearings. Things would breathe like mad though. The 221 through 302 and 351 Windsors were all related. Basically the same design just punched up each time. Me and 289's got along real well back then. Got to where I could tweak them quite easily without resorting to a cam, although that would've been the next step. I think the 351 modifieds and 400 modifieds were crosses between the two engine groups.
My last 289 was a Feb. production from 1968. probably one of the last ones. By the time I finished under the hood, it had a 500 CFM Holley racing two barrel with manual choke, dual point distributor advanced to 10 degrees before TDC ,dual low restriction exhaust, B&M shift kit in the tranny, and a 3.55 8" punkin. That thing would really git if you got in it, but still had some pretty good in town manners. had a low restriction air cleaner, too ( chrome of course). it was in a '68 Mustang notch back that'd get rubber in the first two if you got in it. sounded nice, too :o ::) ;) 8)
-
Never understood Ford. Really don’t know why I spent money on ‘em. The ’71 Comet I had with a Cleveland motor in it, a top loader four speed ‘n a Detroit Locker ass end wouldah blown 340 Dusters or 350 Novas in the weeds. Ford/Mercury never offered the option(s).
-
That 64 Falcon Sprint I had was the only small block Ford I ever owned. My 60 T bird had a 352 and my 64 fastback had a 390.

Arcey, I haven't been able to find out anymore about Weber being replaced by Ralph Sheheen on the last 2 TNT race broadcasts.
-
I just noticed that a judge has temporarily left the injunction against Mayfield to allow him to race at Daytona this weekend. He can enter as a late entry. He would not be eligible for championship points. Now,he has to find out if he can scrape up enough money to get the car to Daytona to the race.

No Bill Weber in the TNT booth at NHMS UPDATE - to miss final two races: TNT will not have Bill Weber in the booth for the Lenox Industrial Tools 301 today at New Hampshire Motor Speedway, according to a TNT spokesman. “Bill Weber will not be part of TNT's NASCAR coverage of the Cup Series from New Hampshire Motor Speedway this weekend,” said a company statement released by senior vice president Sal Petruzzi. “As this is a private issue, it’s the policy of the company not to discuss personal matters involving our employees.” Ralph Sheheen will step in for Weber on today's telecast.(SceneDaily)(6-28-2009)
UPDATE: Bill Weber will not be part of TNT's NASCAR coverage of the Cup Series for the network’s last two races. Ralph Sheheen will handle play-by-play duties for The Coke Zero 400 in Daytona and the LifeLock.com 400 from Chicagoland. Sheheen will be calling the races alongside analysts Kyle Petty and Wally Dallenbach in the booth.(TNT)(7-1-2009) Comment here

Mayfield wins injunction: UPDATE 2: Independence Day came a few days early for suspended Sprint Cup driver Jeremy Mayfield, as a federal judge granted him a temporary injunction allowing him to race this weekend. The ruling, made Wednesday in U.S. District Court in Charlotte by senior Judge Graham Mullen, lifted his suspension for failing NASCAR's substance abuse policy and allows him to return as the driver/owner of his #41 team in time for Saturday night's race at Daytona International Speedway. Mullen said in granting the injunction that the irreparable harm appeared to be greater for Mayfield than NASCAR.(ESPN.com)(7-1-2009)
UPDATE: NASCAR chairman Brian France said the organization has no immediate plans to file an appeal, but he didn't rule it out. "We are disappointed, but we respect the judge's ruling," NASCAR spokesman Ramsey Poston said in a statement. "This is only a temporary injunction. The legal case continues beyond this point, and we will continue to make our case." (Associated Press)(7-1-2009)
UPDATE 2: ESPN's David Newton reported on Wednesday's NASCAR Now that Mayfield probably does not have time to get his #41 team down to Daytona for this week's race, but that he could be in the #64 for Larry Gunselman.(7-1-2009) Comment here
-
I don't know if this is really worth it all for Mayfield to drive for maybe just one race and not even in his own car.
-
I’d hate ta be the crew chief tryin’ ta get one ah his cars thru tech……

Tech could be a little nit picky!

Scenes from court as Mayfield wins injunction
It's been a crazy day off the track for NASCAR with a federal judge ruling to grant Jeremy Mayfield's request for an injunction to allow him to compete again for the first time in Cup since series officials indefinitely suspended him May 9 for a failed drug test.
I was at court for most of it today (full disclosure -- I had to leave before the judge's verdict to catch a plane to get to Daytona but was there for the arguments for both sides)
It didn't surprise me when I found out the judge granted Mayfield's injunction. I kind of got that sense that the judge was searching for a way to grant it based on the questions he asked lawyers for both sides.
He asked very few questions of Mayfield's lawyer, Bill Diehl. if you've never seen this guy, he's in his 50s rotund and his this shock of long yellow hair. He has a flair for the dramatics in court and even had some in attendance laughing or snickering at some of his comments during his 45-minute presentation. i'll get to a few things in a bit.
Back to the judge. When it was the turn of NASCAR's attorneys to talk, the judge pressed them hard on questions.
At one point, Helen Maher was addressing the court for NASCAR when judge Graham Mullen asked her about the limitation on the discretion NASCAR had in determing what violates its Substance Abuse Policy. Maher's response wandered a bit and Mullen stopped her and said: "That's not a response. If you're answer is none, step up and own it.''
Ouch.
Later, the judge questioned another NASCAR attorney to ask what someone could do in regard to a false positive test. And when Mayfield's lawyer, Diehl, had a chance for rebuttal, the judge asked Diehl what the North Carolina statue said about such a circumstance and Diehl read a portion that he said addressed the matter and stated that showed Mayfield should be allowed to compete again.
At issue, in a way, was NASCAR's power. The Substance Abuse Policy, some would suggest, is over the top, in not having a list of banned substances and that makes it too open-ended. Diehl argued that in theory NASCAR could stated that drinking too much Coca-Cola or coffee or orange juice could violate the policy.
After my plane landed in Florida, I called Charles Yesalis, an authority on performance-enhancing drugs. I talked to him last fall when NASCAR announced its revised policy calling for random drug testing, but the big issue that day in September in Dover was that there was no list of banned substances. Yesalis told me that day: "This is really bad. If I were a driver and got caught, I'd hire me a real big-time lawyer and say, "Make mince-meat of it.''
So when I talked to Yesalis today he remained adament that NASCAR have a list of banned substances -- Yesalis admits he's not aware of any pro league without such a list other than NASCAR. Yesalis said the sport could put together a list of banned substances and do what many other leagues and add a clause that says "and related substances.''
It will be interesting to see what comes out of the Substance Abuse Policy, if anything, after this. Remember, this is just an injunction, there's still a whole court case to settle so this isn't over.
As for Diehl, at one point he addressed the judge and said: "It's July 4th weekend. Somehow that rings true as I talk to you and ask you to correct a wrong. Independence Day for Jeremy ought to be today.''
Another time, Diehl said that according to the drug test that Mayfield had enough meth in him at the time of the test that Mayfield would have been "either a walking zombie or he's dead.''
About NASCAR and its actions, Diehl said: "(Mayfield) has been arrested, if you will. He has been tried ... and he has been convicted.''
As for NASCAR lawyers, here's some of what they said:
Helen Maher: "If Mr. Mayfield is allowed to race after testing positive for meth, who will protect the public, who will protect the drivers? He tested positive for an illegal drug and endangered the lives of all around him. (at this point, mayfield's wife, sitting in the gallery, shakes her head -- which she did often as Maher talked).
Later, Maher said: "Mr. Diehl told an interesting story. I was entertained by it, but you come into federal court you need facts ... and he has none.''
And she said: "NASCAR has a duty ot prevent (Mayfield) from injuring anyone at a NASCAR event.''
Bill Diehl said on Sirius Speedway -- Dave Moody's show on Sirius Satellite Radio -- that he wasn't sure if Mayfield could be ready to compete at Daytona now that he's eligible. Diehl suggested it might take until next week at Chicagoland Speedway before Mayfield returned. We'll see.

I don't think Nasacar is going to take this lying down. It's only the beginning.
-
Gonna be interestin’. Film at eleven.
-
Yesssir!
-
I just noticed that Richard Petty will drive the #43 STP car as the pace car for the race at Daytona this weekend.
-
Okay now I've seen everything. Heading up Military Highway the other day and I spy what looks like a NASCAR vehicle al painted up with the Tide Detergent logo on it,but something didn't look quite right. As I got closer I noticed they have put big ole 24 inch chrome wheels on it with them little fattie tires, it looked absolutely ridiculous. I'll try to get a picture of it next time I go that way. Course maybe it's a sign that NASCAR is getting ready to sponsor an "In Da Hood" race!
-
I guess that's how he rolls in "tha hood"!
-
Look on the door ‘n see if there’s a 10 or a 17 on it. The answer could explain it.
-
Mebbe it had XIV on it.
Funny thing is that the kids round here see it an say "X fourteen".
Howsabout that's just plain 14 you dumba$$es. Don't they teach this stuff anymore?
The white kid gangs in my town make me laugh so hard sometimes.
-
Might have been 32 also.
-
It’d prolly be a Rudd or DW car. Craven, Hamilton, Jr., the ‘ringers’ ‘n part timers Wells put in it n’er sold well ‘ere if they sold at all.
Doubt the ones young/dumb ‘nuff ta spend money on them ‘rims’ remember Rudd in the 5 with Tide.
Suppose anything is possible tho.
-
I had forgotten about Tricky Ricky and the #5.
-
Joe Gibbs Racing driver Brad Coleman was testing a Gibbs NASCAR Sprint Cup Series car at Toyota Arizona Proving Grounds earlier this week and came onto the radio and told his crew something rather unusual.
"Guys, I hit a coyote," Coleman said.
Coleman was running close to 200 mph around the 10-mile test track when he saw the animal wander under the outside guardrail.
-
LOL!!!! That’ll give ya some down force. A new meanin’ ta ‘bump draftin’’.
Neil Bonnett smacked a deer at Pocono. The car was beyond repair in the track’s garage area. Earnhardt hit a sea gull in Daytona durin’ the race. Damned thing exploded inna red mist ‘n feathers. Messed up the left headlight area. The damage ta the aero package may have cost ‘im the race. God rest ‘em, they loved ta hunt tagether.
That coyote is priceless.
-
I'm bettin the last thing that went through that coyote's mind was I thought he'd dodge :o ;)
you ever see that one comercial where the car dodges the squirrel and has a wreck, they had a locally made comericial makin fun of that one, showed the car, the squirrel, heard a thump, thump, little sign comes up, says this is Arkansas, we don't brake or dodge wildlife. ;D
-
Arcey, I remember an episode of "Winners" where Neil had Dale on as his special guest. They were at a lake and each of them had a "souped up" bass boat and they raced each other. They really enjoyed each other best when they were hunting or fishing. I miss them both. I taped the last race Neil won, which was an ARCA race at the old Texas World Speedway and he was driving a black Lumina #31. I get it out and watch it every once in a while.
-
Ain’t got a tree rat inna while. They run in front of ya, panic ‘n do the death dance. Enjoyed makin’ snakes feeler gauges. Don’t see ‘em no more since the woods behind were developed. Got feral cats now. They hide good.
Ain’t the same without ‘em, Tex. Them was a mess. Loved one ‘nother like brothers. Would put each other in the fence in a heartbeat. That’s racin’. Sure miss ‘em.
Story goes…..
Earnhardt was winnin’ some money. Bonnett was werkin’ on it but still poor. Earnhardt showed ‘im a new rifle he’d just bought. Asked ‘im if ‘e liked it. Bonnett said he sher did.
Earnhardt sed, ‘Good. That’s yours. I bought two’.
-
That's how Dale was. He never forgot where he came from. He did a lot of things for folks that never got published, but that's the way he wanted it.
-
It's official. Brett is playing for the Vikings this year. ::)
Slim
-
My condolences.
-
Sorry, Slim ::) The Pack sure smacked this years Brownies around Sat., doesn't bode well for N.E. Ohio again this year. edwards forgot to bring his hands again ::) :-\ :P
-
Can’t wait ta see ‘im at Lambeau dressed in purple with horns ‘n all. Maybe they can scrape ‘im off the field with a putty knife. A big purple grease spot.
-
I heard that it was a 2 year deal that he signed. The Vikings have spent a lot of money on all those QBs they have. Brett led the league in interceptions last year. I know Slim has been disappointed again. Brett will always come back, because he can still play.
-
Funny how things werk sometimes……..
Kyle Busch had just passed (we don’t say ‘overtaken’ in real racin’) Harvick for the lead at Bristol last night when a driver who has no business racin’ at that level turned dead left in front of him. Tore the car up pretty bad. First time in twelve races Busch hasn’t finished third or better ‘n he’d only finished third once in that span.
Busch is the driver that smashed the Gibson at Nashville. Ironic for him to be taken out, while leadin’, on the same day as Les Paul’s burial.
-
Ya just gotta love that. Ol' Les got his revenge.
-
Bristol ain't the place for these young drivers to gain experience. It's a small track and there's a lot of beatin' and bangin'. Kyle was at the wrong place at the right time. Coming up on lap traffic at Bristol is dangerous any time.
-
I wish.
As much as I hate ta say it, Rusty Wallace did a fantastic job designin’ the thing. Basically copied Richmond, made it a touch bigger ‘n blended the exit off two ‘n the entrance to three a l’il better. Execution was almost perfect. Damned good racin’. State of the art. Very nice facility.
-
I hadn't really read much about that track until today. I didn't know about Rusty being involved in the design or him being part owner. They need to expand the seating and make more roads in and out of the track.
-
I was reading on the Nascar. com site yesterday that the 48 and the 5 cars barely passed post race inspections. Nascar verbally warned both teams about the height of the cars.
-
The key word there is that they passed. A good lead man knows the limits an pushes em ta the brink. Even if they were just one centimeter under what the rules say, they're still fit ta fight.
-
Both the 48 ‘n the 5 were taken to Concord. The 5 was totally within tolerances. The 48’s body was 0.006” out (off the centerline) but the car had rear end body damage.
I promise ya had the 24 been taken for measurement it would have measured out the same way. Kinda doubt the 14 ‘n 39 were runnin’ the same generation chassis.
There were no violations. No penalties. No truth to the rumor NASCAR told HMS not to enter those cars again.
-
I still think Hendrick gets special consideration from NASCAR, that's just me. He should be in the Federal Pen.
-
I’d like to think that but as many times as Knaus has been fined ‘n suspended ‘n the 48 docked owner ‘n driver points, the charge, I don’t think, is justified. They don’t inspect the things in private. Others have the chance to observe even in Concord. Strong rumor was RCR personnel ratted ‘em out for roof line manipulation at Daytona three years ago after NASCAR missed it. The others won’t put up with it.
Last protest I remember was Roush sayin’ Evernham was soakin’ tires for the 24. Open analysis of the tires proved they were straight. That was o’er ten years ago. Evernham had a better set-up. Hendrick attracts the smart ones with a pile of cash.
Some say Knaus is the second comin’ of Evernham. Knaus has more sense than to let a skirt half ‘is age, and I might add ugly, ruin a marriage, his relationship with his employees ‘n his standin’ with Chrysler. Not to mention all focus on his cup effort.
Knaus is akin to Gary Nelson. NASCAR had to hire Nelson themselves to get ‘im out if the garage ‘n whippin’ their asses. No one to this day knows where he hid the additional fuel in Allison’s 22. Nelson was the second comin’ of Yunick, rest well, Smokey. In today’s environment, Knaus may be better than all three. ‘N like it or not, Johnson can wheel it.
All my opinion.
-
The deal with Hendrick's Honda dealerships was what I was refering to Hendrick being in the Federal Pen. I, for one don't enjoy watching Wonder wimp and JJ winning all the races and the championships. I am glad to see Mark winning, but not for Hendrick. I would not buy a car from Tricky Ricky. I enjoy the Nationwide and the Truck Series better, especially the Trucks.

I thought about ya, Slim. Was a good game.
Make ya a deal ya can’t refuse. I’ll trade ya Jason Campbell AND Jim Zorn for Rodgers.

Looks like Lil's team might loose their head coach. Good ol' Tom of the Raiders is lookin at asault charges for beatin on one of his assistants. And folks thought Maddon was bad back in his day.

No deal. ;)

The best thing that could happen to the Redskins is to hire a new coach and a QB. They need direction.

No deal. ;)

Dag gone it. Knew I shoulda threw in Carlos Rogers ‘n a box of cuban cigars………
Tex been sneakin’ inta extremeskins again.
-
I was a big time Cowboys fan in the 60s and 70s when Landry was coach. I didn't like the way Jones got rid of Landry. I quit being a Cowboy fan. I just watch the different teams in league now. I guess I watch the AFC teams more than the NFC teams. Dallas will be lucky to go 8 and 8 for the season. They need another coach and a QB also, and Jones needs to keep his nose out of the coaching.
-
The Brownies dumped Edwards. Standard joke now is that NYC asked Bralon Edwards to drop the ball at New Years ;D
-
These pro athletes think they are above the law. They get entirely too much money to play kid's games.
-
32 teams times 53 active players on each roster equals 1696 people. That’s a pretty broad brush yer paintin’ with. Don’t ya think?
-
I was speaking of pro sports in general. There are "problem children" in all the sports.
-
I was speaking of pro sports in general. There are "problem children" in all the sports.
Not that it matters, but I'd say pro baseball leads the back just ahead of the NBA. I don't watch either one of them.
-
Why would I think ya weren’t speakin’ of pro sports ‘in general’ when the previous eight posts dealt with the NFL, Tex? Then again, ‘in general’ makes for an even broader brush, don’t it?
Don’t werry. Be happy.
-
Don't worry Pop, mention college er highschool ball an you'll get clobbered just the same.
Some of us see the pros as over paid whiners an some of us see the amatures as folks with an agenda ta get what they want.
Let's just watch some ball!
-
Who would ‘clobber’ someone for mentionin’ college or HS sports?
Just for the record, I see the fans or non-fans complainin’ on the earnin’s of pro athletes as the whiners.
-
I guess you don't remember.
Anyways, watchin a good game is watchin a good game no matter who's playin it. I balieve that out there on the field they all ferget bout salaries an scholarships. They's just playin their hearts out on all levels.
-
Perhaps I did, remind me. Better yet, point it out. I do remember scholarships are compensation. Are they not? What does a four year degree cost at, say, Texas A&M? Those kids aren’t minor league pros?
My point was, and is, few pros in any sport think they’re ‘above the law’. Their compensation is between the pro and the owner. If what’s reported, by glorified message boarders called ‘sports writers’, gives anyone heart burn, don’t watch it.
I’d rather watch the game ‘n enjoy it. Some folks makin’ unsubstantiated barks they heard/read from someone else often won’t let you.
-
Arcey, I hope your Redskins get better before the season is over, let's hope they don't wind up tied with Dallas in the cellar. Go Broncos!
-
Awright yer in luck cuz I like duh boyz.
Zorn, Campbell, Rogers, a box of cuban cigars AND a case of Bud Light for Romo ‘n Phillips.
PPPLLLEEEZZZEEE!!!!!!!
-
Arcey, Back in the Dark Ages, Zorn was drafted by the Cowboys. He was sent to Seattle when the Seahawks were formed. I remember that he is left handed. Arcey you have to throw in Portis and Champ Bailey and it's a deal.
-
Ain’t got Bailey ta give ya. Traded ‘im ta Denver. For Portis. Couldn’t trade Portis anyway. He’s about wore out. All kiddin’ aside, I’m wonderin’ if he’ll make it thru the season.
A healthy Portis in the same backfield with Barber would be flat frightenin’………..
-
Id rather watch the game n enjoy it. Some folks makin unsubstantiated barks they heard/read from someone else often wont let you.
That's all I been sayin all along. LETS JUST WATCH SOME BALL.
It may not seem like it, but do know a thing or two about the sport.
Was gonna rant more an decided not to.
-
I hope the quality of play gets better as the season goes on. I'm still following the College teams closer than the Pros right now.
-
Kinda sez all what needs sayin'

-
Well, the Brownies won yesterday. Ugly, but they won. Basically BOTH offenses were OFFENSIVE ::)
-
Yer Bengals won too Buck. It was a big deal cause the coach's wife had just died.
-
6 to 3 sounds more like a baseball score than a football one. The Bengals are definitely better than last year. I wanna see the Colts and the Broncos play, right now they're the best of the AFC.
-
One of the defensive guys for the Broncos went to school with two of our boys( Kenny Peterson), and the head coach played quarterback at McKinley high school here..............Buck 8)
-
DeAngelo Hall had a pick ‘n ran it back a yard short of a touch down. High school, Deep Creek, next door. Va. Tech. in pro minor league. Sloppy tackle on Delholmme allowed a first ‘n that was the end of it.
-
Well, After watching the Cowboys play the Chiefs for a while, I think my prediction of 8 and 8 might be too optimisic.
-
Lookin’ at the rest of the schedule I’m thinkin’ 5 ‘n 11 – with luck. That’s with Zorn demoted to water boy, Campbell benched ‘n the offensive line armed with Uzis.
Speakin’ of money, Rush Limbaugh re-upped with Clear Channel. $400,000,000.00 thru 2016. He’s tryin’ ta buy a hunk of the Rams. The estimated value of the team is almost a billion, with a B, dollars.
-
That sounds like a lot of money for a team that ain't doing too well this season. Ol' Rush has a lot of enemies that might not want to own the team and the black players might not want to play for him.
-
Geezzzzz……….
Michael Waltrip involved in accident, is OK: #55-Michael Waltrip crashed into a motorcycle Wednesday night while trying to make a U-Turn and was given a field sobriety test by a Mooresville police officer, a report states. Waltrip was attempting a U-turn on Perth Road around 7:49 p.m. when his Lexus collided with a Harley Davidson motorcycle. The motorcyclist was transported to Lake Norman Regional Center. According to the police report, Waltrip was suspected of being under the influence of alcohol, but passed a field sobriety test at the scene. Waltrip was given a Breathalyzer and blew a .06, under the North Carolina legal limit of .08, the report states. Waltrip was cited for failure to yield. He was not injured in the accident. The Sprint Cup driver and team owner was involved in an accident in [April] 2007. The North Carolina Highway Patrol charged him with reckless driving and leaving the scene of an accident. Those charges were later dismissed.(WCNC)(10-22-2009)
-
That don't sound good for Mikey. Hello! Civil suit from the cycle rider!
-
They got a thing here called a "wet and reckless" in which ya can be balow .08 and still get nabbed if you were drivin stupid. They get a fine an a class ta go to an if they get stopped again with alkyhol in their system it counts as a second duece. The .08 is still on the books but it's perty much zero tolerance now when ya get down to it. It's fair enough, we've had way too many accidents on these two lane mountain roads.
-
Unless that you are my size, .08 ain't much alcohol to be consumed. Driving and Drinking ain't worth. There have been several LEO's fired from their jobs after receiving DUI's around here.
-
When I was a pup the presumptive level was 0.15%. Had career drunks that could pass a FST at that level. Had military kids what ain’t had a beer in six months fallin’ down drunk blow a .05%.
The ancient S&W equipment we used registered up to .40%. Had two where I had ta reset it to .00 ‘n start again. One was a long time cab driver. Those had ta be taken to the horsepistol ‘n watched ‘til their BAC dropped.
In Breathalyzer school they had us partner up with someone for transportation. One day one would drink the next the other. Ya used the drunks for test dummies. I made it ta .11% if I remember right ‘n I was wasted. Back then I drank a lot of beer too. Much more than taday. Think I was thirty then, fresh outtah K-9 ‘n in great shape.
If ya’ve had a couple ‘n ya need ta go somewhere on an emergency, call a cab.
-
Arcey, It looks like Zorn is a "lame duck" coach for the rest of the season.
-
Couple of notes here. Last night( actually early morning) cornerback Eric Wright of the Browns was involved in an auto accident after attending a Jay-Z concert last night in Cleveland. probably going too fast for conditions. His Mercedes aqua-planed and he rolled it. Car's totalled, he's sore and was sitting on sidelines today at practice on an exercise bike. Shades of KW II?
In Nascar, Ford is supposed to debut a new engine at Talledega. Maybe a beefed up version of that ECO-Boost they came out with for the tauruses?............... ::) ???
-
It's a shame that Ford can't build decent cylinder heads for the Nascar engines. Cylinder heads make horsepower and Ford ain't cuttin' it.
-
‘Cordin’ ta Steve Largent, claims ta talk ta Zorn daily, Snyder asked Zorn to resign Sunday. But there was a l’il matter of seven million dollars he would have left on the table if he did. The way I’m readin’ it the ‘Skins, for all intents ‘n purposes, don’t have a HC anymore. Zorn is just along for the ride.
Ain’t seen much on the FR9. Hearin’ they’re gonna start a couple of ‘em at Talladega.
-
RPM may switch one of the teams to a Ford before the season is over, that soun ds like for R&D purposes.

Gillett is goin’ ta Ford next season regardless if he merges with Yates or not.
Credible sources say they haven’t had any financial or tech support from Fiat for the 43 or 44 all season. Sadler is runnin’ a Ford this weekend because the 19 has been cut from Fiat’s roll too. The others will be Dodges (left overs) until Gillett runs out of their inventory of motors. Most of the bodies are in the process of bein’ converted to Fords.
That’ll leave Penske the lone Fiat team with only one decent driver. Without team help with R&D, he won’t have much to offer ‘n that’s a shame. Rumor is as soon as the money stops Penske goes to Toyota. He doesn’t need Fiat’s tech support. He IS their tech support
-
I heard that Penske was trying to buy Saturn from GM. Maybe he will put Saturn bodies on them Dodge chassis.
-
Penske decided to not to buy Saturn.
Broke my heart to hear. Jobs lost. PAG’s initial plan was to keep the dealers at full staff until they saw what they had.
-
I hate to hear that. I don't know much about them, but they seem like quality automoblies. I would like to see Penske go to the Toyos and see how they would stack up against JGR. I read where they took Addington off the 18 car. I don't think he is the problem.
-
Arcey, I saw where the Dinger got popped on a DUI.
-
This is how NASCAR looks the other way when Hendrick cars win.
Look at the pic. That’s the right front end of Hamlin’s car. It’s what Jerry Punch reported to be ‘torn away’. Does it look ‘torn away’?
And, Long is Long. ‘Rigid inspections keep NASCAR drivers honest’. The drivers have little or nothing to do with the cars being in or out of spec. Someone else builds ‘em. The drivers drive ‘em.
http://hamptonroads.com/2009/10/rigid-inspections-keep-nascar-drivers-honest
-
Crap. Meant ta say ‘Dinger is a dumb ass. If I had a wife lookin’ like his I’d never leave the bedroom.
-
Yep, Me too! Yesterday during practice, Wonder Wimp and JJ apparently did'nt like folks 'bump drafting" them. It sure looks like those two get special treatment from everyone. I hate that MM and JuneBug are in that mess.
-
If I were Johnson I’d complain too. Waltrip’s bumpin’ moved ‘im up ten spots in practice. It’s a Hendrick-Waltrip conspiracy.
The booth strikes again. They reported NASCAR parked Waltrip for bumpin’ the 48. Fifteen minutes later he’s on the track makin’ bonsai runs.
That’s why I hit the mute button ‘n watch. Turn the sound back on in time to hear Ray Dunlap report we’re minutes away from the white flag. Quick race.
Two Fiats ‘n two Gooberment Motors trucks blow up.
Matt Crafton is called the leader ‘n he’s a lap down. The camera’s on Bodine ‘n they’re callin’ ‘im Hornaday. Phil Parsons thinks they’re at Daytona. ‘TWO LAPS TO GO!’ There’s four. The spindle on the 33 won’t turn at all. None of them do. The hub mounted on the spindle does.
-
Been a long season, Arcey? ::)
-
Apparently too long for that bunch. Either they’re gettin’ punchy or had their Halloween candy sprinkled with sumthin’ I don’t want no part of.
-
I think they were having ill effects from their Holloween costumes. However, Batgirl didn't look too bad. She looks better in costume.
-
Happy they didn’t put Wendy in a Catwoman get-up. Someone would have been haulin’ me to the emergency room with the four hour thing..
-
The game is about to start. ;D
Slim
-
I hope Slim ain't too sad about the Pack's loss to the Vikes. Ol' Brett is laughing all the way to the Bank!
-
A good friend of ours is a hard core Packer Backer. I don't want ta see her taday, she gets surly when things don't go well fer her team.
-
The Packer offensive line didn't give Rodgers very good protection. That could mean a long season for them if the blocking doesn't improve.
-
One sack is too many for a game. ::)

Buck, You'll probably have a new coach for next year.

Zorn ain’t gonna be buzy anytime soon. Allen freed up his future. Him ‘n Holmgren are pards. Make a good match up there in Cleveland.

I'm sure that Mangini is gone at Cleveland. Zorn went to the Seahawks as an expansion draft player.
-
If the option is Zorn, I'd rather keep Mangini ::) :o
-
The rumor now is that Bill Cower is going to be Buffalo's next coach. Buck, The Browns need some better players as much as a new coach.

At least a QB that can throw accurate, TLD. And maybe a legit WR that has some hands......Buck ::) :-\

Thet should have some high draft picks for next year's draft.

The snow storm took my satellite dish off line just before the start of the first Gatorade races at Daytona. I had to resort to watching on my laptop with Race Buddy. It wasn't too bad. The Dish came back on line about 5 minutes ago. At least I've got another venue if the Dish goes down again.

TL
Happens to me whenever we get a wet heavy snow. I keep a long pole with a foam brush on the end. When the Dish starts to act up, bushing the slush off the dish puts it back on line. Wish my dish was a little close to the ground, so I could do it without the pole.
-
The snow we had yesterday and last was heavy and wet. My Dish is mounted on a piece of 10 inch drill pipe that is about six feet off the ground. We went out yesterday afternoon and wiped off the dish and it came back on.
-
Son-in-law’s got theirs mounted on a six by six I reckon ‘bout six feet er so up. They lose the signal in storms ‘n snows. Both of ‘em were raised on cable ‘n they still ain’t used to it. The way it’s built up up their way I'm sorta surprised they ain’t run fiber optics stuff
Ennyways nothin’ in Daytona right now. Rainin’ the last time I looked. The talkin’ heads ain’t doin’ nuttin’ but havin’ Dani-gasms. Mebbe it'll clear up by the truck race this evenin’. I hope.

I'm gettin' to where I like the Trucks better than Cup. A lot closer racing and more than just one or two good teams. I hope it don't get rained out. Elliot Sadler is driving Harvick's other Truck.
-
Gottah have my trucks. Old school, smash mouth, take no prisoners, down 'n dirty, Saturday night racin’. They don't play nice. Drivers get pissed at one ‘nother ‘n wanna fight. Damned things don’t wanna turn ‘n don’t wanna stop. Aero of a brick. They’re just plain evil ‘n it takes a man’s man ta drive the things. Short races make ‘em go now. No time ta log laps. Still, they gotta manage gas ‘n tires ‘n take a swing at adjustments. Play the cautions. Don’t get no better’n that fer me.

Back in the Early 80s, I worked security on the weekends at Cowtown Speedway. It was a Quarter mile dirt track and they ran on Sat. nights all summer through Labor Day. I broke up more fights in the infield between drivers that I ever did in the stands with fans.

Well, the Brownies managed to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory again today. They've got to play two complete halves, not just one. Turnovers were the bug-a-boo today.............Buck ::) :-\

The Pack started the season the right way. :)

What do you do when you’re about to lose a game that you’ve led all night? Put one of your best man to man on one of their worst ‘n draw a flag. It worked, ‘Skins win.
Damn. The ‘Skins beat the team from down there. Joe Gibbs Racing finishing 1, 2 ‘n 4 last night at Richmond. Toyotas four of the top five. Del has enameled bowels. It don’t get no better than that.
Sad for the Lions. That looked like a touch down but the rules say no. The zebras were right. Maybe the NFL will fix it.
Hard earned win for the Pack, Slim. The game was brutal. Congrats.

Good for the 'Skins,
Thanks, Arcey.

The Eagles may come to regret that trade.............Buck ::)

McNabb still has a couple of good years left. Buck, I hope the Browns don't ruin Colt. Well, after watching the Boys yesterday, The only way they are going to be in the Super Bowl is to be watching from the stands. I disowned them when Jerry bought the team. I guess that I'll be a Colt fan. Their Number pick in the Draft was from TCU. I think he can start right now for the Colts. His name is Jerry Hughes and he wears 92.

Breaking News:Training at Cowboys Stadium was delayed after a player found an unknown white powdery substance on the ground. Training was suspended while FBI & Homeland Security was called in. After analysis, experts determined the white substance, unfamiliar to most of the players, was in fact the goal line. Practice will resume this afternoon after they decided the team was unlikely to encounter the substance again

Slim, The Pack oughta fatten up it's stats when they play the Cowboys. Maybe they will a high pick in next year's draft and get a QB. I haven't much of a fan since Jones became the owner and fired Coach Landry.
-
I sure was hoping that Zenyetta would win her last race. I think that she waited a little to long to start her charge to the lead. If the race had been another 10 yards, she might have won.

Bud is InBev. InBev ain’t American.
The 48 is Hendrick. Hendrick is a thief. What he was stealing was Hondas, not Chevrolets. He also owns Toyota dealerships. Bribed Bill Clinton, a liar, for a pardon. Can’t abide crooks.
Joe Gibbs. Former Redskins coach. A champion in both football and stock cars. A straight forward, stand up guy. Switched from Chevrolet to Toyota because he was gettin’ scraps in tech support from GM, after Hendrick ‘n RCR.
The Toyota badged cars are Camrys. Built in Kentucky by American employees paid in dollars. They spend those dollars here. The dollars came from folks like me who don’t have money to waste on a worn out nameplate. Six Toyotas and one Honda over the last eleven years. All but the one I’m drivin’ now was built here. Had more problems with the last Ford (a Crown Vic built in Canada) than with all the Toyotas combined.
Didn’t work out for Hamlin today. Oh well. We’ll see what happens next week. I’ll be drinkin’ Coors. Maybe a l'il Virginia whiskey.

NASCAR sold out to the Liberal Concept years ago making everyone drive the SAME car anyways (a rear side window shape and/or air intake at the nose difference)....CAN"T have "unfair" advantages!!! :o :o :o
NOT say'n ANYTHING bad 'bout Joe Gibbs for he is an outstanding individual and Christian who practices God-Family-Country.
His drivers are on the other hand are ALL snivelling wimps especially Kyle Bush...wasn't sure 'bout Denny 'till after this race (a whoop'd puppy dog)...then Joey is just a kid and a kid is a kid....Maybe YOU should drive YOUR Camry for Joe Gibbs... put your face on the hood if it fits. :D :D :D :D :D

The ‘Skins managed another one – in OT. Better record than last season already. Hopin’ for .500. Still possible.

Saw a new show last night, you'll either love it or hate it. Top Gear. They test run all kinds of cars but the idiots don't wear helmets or any other safety gear. It was fun to watch but I couldn't believe how careless they was bein.

Leo, Those folks are from England and apparently don't need Helmets.

Good Luck to Slim's Packers today, but I think Leo's Steelers will win. I ain't be a Steelers fan since they bet Staubach in the Super Bowl, back when Bradshaw was still playing.

Two touchdowns in 24 seconds! Go Packers!

Maybe I underestimated Roo's DJ.

It's hard to win a game when a team gives the other team 21 points on turnovers. It was a hard hitting game with serious injuries on both teams. It would ge great to have these two teams meet again in next year's Super Bowl in Indy. The weather up there next year could be a repeat of this year's.
-
The second half was definitely an improvement but too little too late. They were all pretty tough and both teams deserved to be there.
-
Leo, I know the Steelers took this loss pretty hard, expecially Big Ben. It's time to start preparing to get back next year.

Thought this was amuzin...the whole tree fallin in the woods thing.
The fans inside Cowboys Stadium for Super Bowl XLV had as good a view of the flyover by four F-18 fighter jets as those watching at home. With the roof closed on Jerry Jones' $1.2 billion stadium, people in attendance were forced to watch the flyover on the massive high-def screens inside.
A Dallas TV reporter estimated that the flyover cost the Navy a total of $450,000. His total includes gas, operational costs and air time for the four F-18s, which traveled from Virginia to Texas for the event. The Navy told CNBC that its official records only tallies the amount spent on gas, which came out to $109,000 for the Super Bowl flights.
Even if we call it somewhere in between, the Navy still spent hundreds of thousands of dollars of taxpayer money for a few seconds of camera time. It's like an old riddle: If four planes fly over a stadium and nobody insides sees, is it worth the cost?
-
Leo, Those folks are from England and apparently don't need Helmets.
They don't need cold beer either
-
They were Oceana jets.
There were thousands of folks outside the stadium. As I understand it they could see the big screen from where they were ‘n bein’ outside they saw ‘em.
What the ‘OMG!!!! They’re wasting' my tax money!!!!’, articles never point out is the pilots are required to fly so many hours cross-country every year. Might as well fly from here to Texas ‘n get a l’il PR while you’re at it.
Oceana jets did a fly over at a race too. It may have been a Texas race, I don’t remember.

Any fly-over will probably be handled by Fla. based planes, my guess......... ::)

It’d be a sight ta see if the museum would send the B17, B25 ‘n a couple fighters to do a fly over at Richmond……..
Don’t recall ever seein’ a fly over at Dover when the airplanes or helicopters didn’t come from the AFB ‘cross the road from the track.

Arcey, I heard that the Museum in Virginia is going to have an Air Show featuring "Chuckie" this summer. I hope that folks go out to support the Museum. These new cars are fast in a two-car draft. I saw the tachs reading 9600 to 9700 rpms. That is unusual for Daytona lately. That high rpm is hard on the valve train on the engines which equates to a lot of engine failures. The GMs seem to be turning 3 or 4 hundred revs that the Toyos. I am glad that Junebug got the Pole for the Shootout. The Shootout ought to interesting tonight. I am sure that there will a couple of big wrecks.
-
Higher RPM's???? Just guessing but this might be due to the E15 gasoline used this year in NASCAR....More horses but it is said by smarter folks then I that a reduction in MPG as much as 25%.... ???
Self venting Fueling cans and the elimination of the "Gas Catcher" too....said to create second plus extended pit-stops... ???
New points assignments too! Gonna Be INTERESTING year.. :o

They do ‘Warbirds Over The Beach’ every summer. I went last year ‘n sat just ‘cross the road from the end of the runway they were takin’ off from. They have tents ‘n vendors with different foods ‘n beverages ‘n some WWII style acts. Mandatory cap ‘n tee shirt sales. I’d be surprised if they didn’t put Chuckie in the air.

The Fords finished 1, 2, 3. The last Ford win at the 500 was in 2000, when DJ won. A big hand for the Wood Bros. I watched them win the 63 500. That was my first Nascar race to watch.
-
The Wood Brothers won $24,550.00 out of a purse of $97,850.00 for that race with Tiny Lund in ’63. Average Speed was 151.556 mph.
Bayne brought home $1,462,563.00 for the Woods out of a purse of $18,693,533.00. Average Speed was 130.326 mph.
Dependin’ on whose inflation calculator ya decide ta trust, they won about $177,000.00 for the ’63 race. So it does change in monetary value then to now. What’s funny is speed don’t change o’er the years, cautions do. Lund ran the thing faster on average.
-
I liked the number 3 tribute on the third lap. Hard to believe it's been 10 years.
-
Yep, Those 63 Fords dominated that race. Ned Jarrett would have probably won the race if had not ran out of fuel. Those old 427s got lousy mileage. That was my first taste of Nascar and I've been a fan ever since. The introduction of fuel injection in 2012 should be interesting. I had one of those 63s in HS as well as a 64 in college. My Dad was a Ford Mecanic, but he was a Flat head man. The Wood Bros. pioneered the way pitstops are done today. A lot of famous drivers have driven that famous #21. I hope this just the first step in a long road for Trevor in Nascar.

I hope this just the first step in a long road for Trevor in Nascar.
Thinkin’ Bayne will end up in the 6 next year – sponsor permittin’. I’d have said Stenhouse had Roush not swiped Bayne from MWR then farmed him to the Woods for planned multiple cup runs for this year.
Unless Ragan picks it up a bunch I doubt he’ll be back with RFR next season. The boy had as good a run at it as anyone Sunday ‘n fouled up the restart.

He just got too antsy on that restart. I agree that he prolly won't be back with Roush. Maybe he can catch on with a Nationwide team. I think that Eliot Sadler is reenergized his career, now that he is driving for Harvick. Harvick has signed Scott Speed to drive the #33 car in some Nationwide races.
-
Mental miscue. Happens. Thing is a driver in that position can’t afford ta have one.
Thinkin’ Sadler really wants ta race. He’s gotta much better situation with the lady wearin’ the firesuit in the Harvick family than he’s had inna long, long time. But, man, he’s takin’ a hit in money droppin’ down like that. Then again, his family owns most of Emporia so I reckon money ain’t a problem. ‘N how can ya not like a guy from Virginia what loves bologna burgers? Hope the boy wins a few. A l’il trivia, prior to Sunday, who drove the 21 to its last win?
Me, personally – don’t have ta mean spit ta nobody else – have no use for Speed. He’s a clown. That said, TRB threw him inta F1 before he was prepared for it if ya listen to the folks what follow that sort of racin’. He failed. They ship ‘im to stock cars ‘n he was doin’ good in ARCA ‘n trucks. Then they fire ‘Dinger ‘n stick Speed in the cup car. He failed. That decision had to have been made in Austria. Jay Frye is way too smart a stock car mind to have pulled something that stupid. Folks’ll get it someday. In taday’s werld, ya ain’t gonna stick just any Hornish er Patrick in a stock car from the big go carts ‘n expect success. ‘Dingers ‘n Montoyas are hard ta come by. This ain’t what it was in the days of Andretti ‘n Foyt. He ‘n Sadler’ll be a real odd-couple with both at KHI. Sadler is a good ole boy. A plain ole hunter, fisherman what likes ta fire up the grill. Speed paints his toe nails blue. A l’il more trivia, who never won another NASCAR race after leavin’ the Wood Brothers in what was the prime of his career?
-
Eliott Sadler had the last Wood Bros win before Daytona at Bristol. I'll have to think about the other one.
-
Buddy Baker?
-
Damn! Ya got me.
-
Arcey, Back when the Indy 500 was a real race, I could remember most of the winners since 1911. I don't think I could do it know. I have really enjoyed all the specials that Speed channel has had on Dale Sr. I finally found one of the 1988 Black Aerocoupe #3 in 1/24th scale. The price had gone down enough that I could afford. That was the one of his famous cars that I did not have. It's hard to believe that it has been 10 years.
-
That was one wicked lookin’ stock car.
Got three wore out tee shirts ‘n one nice one I don’t wear much. Got 'em all before he left us.
A l’il plastic Goodwrench car (looks kinda like a Lumina) key fob Ali gave me for Christmas when she was little. I bought the S-Runner a week after the wreck. Put the fob on a long, black hunk ah leather lacin’. It was hangin’ on the rear view the day I traded for the 4Runner 1 June, ‘10. It doesn’t belong on that station wagon, it belongs on sumthin’ that’ll go. It’s sittin’ on my desk. Maybe I'll have somethin' black that'll go again someday.
Got a 3 car Zippo ain’t never been out the box. Andi gave me a matchin’ 8 the Christmas before the wreck. It ain’t never been out the box either. Heh, heh… They’ll have a ball e-bayin’ my Zippos when I croak. Gotta USS John C. Stennis (CVN 74) Plank Owner’s Zippo ain’t never been out the box neither.
Took the VHS tape out the VCR after the announcement ‘n handed it to Susie (fat lady). Asked her to make it disappear. She did.
That ‘n my old ‘white three’ joke is all I got. Folks’ll wanna correct ya ‘n say the three was black. No. The three was white, the car the three was on was black. Did my heart so much good ta see Childress’ grand boy win in that white three truck.
Speakin’ of Indianapolis, forgot to give the Woods credit for pittin’ Jim Clark. When was that, ’65?
-
I believe it was, Arcey. Lotus's in BRG with Ford 289's, highly modified with the bundle of snakes exhaust. Kinda spelled the end of the front engine Offy's..........................Buck ::)
-
The 65 Lotus entry was a 260, the next 2 years were 289s, and in 68, they went to the 4 cammer. Arcey, I haven't cheked the diecast market lately, but I have one the 100 made "No Parts" Silver MC. It was worth over 1000. The two Wrangler Pontiacs were worth 600. each. If I ever get rid of my diecast I will keep my Dale Sr. stuff.
-
If I did not know better ...... I would swear that this week was the Daytona 500 instead of the Subway 500km... ??? ???
GO 88
-
So much for rookie luck, too. too bad Carl got taken out, he had it going on there for awhile ::)
-
The new poits system forces the teams to make repairs on damaged cars to get them back in the race to earn as many points as possible.
-
Get'n ready ta block up a pick-up truck load of burn'n logs for next weekends split'n before the Vegas race... :P
Sure was happy to see the old guy win the Nationwide race yesterday despite the hand of FATE and starts 10th today....That' Race'n... :o
Root'n for my guy Jr despite he really hasn't much luck at this track an start'n 33rd..... Maybe he just set up for "race trim" and will be a ball of fire..... maybe.... ??? ??? Cold Bud'd are wait'n on me for the race so gotta go myself.. ;D ;D ;D
GO 88

Congrats to Cuz'n Carl for the win..... ;)
Top 10's on the last two races and a great run at Daytona before the wreck for Jr is show'n a promising start for this season of Race Day's..... His daddy said that top 10's and 5's win championships with a win now and then for good measure.. ;) ;) ;)
GO 88
Next race short track.... bloody nose race'n.... NICE!

Nationwide at Bristol at High Noon locally.... I LOVE Short-Track Race'n.....This IS what Race'n IS! ;D ;D ;D ;D
JR's run'n the 5 car today start'n near the rear.....COOL!.....that will be allot of bang'n & bump'n to the front.... :D ;) ;D
Going to the flat land to visit with Sis for it's her 50th B-day today..... BBQ'n...Drink'n Bud's or Kerrrssss's... watch'n the race & celebrate'n a wonderful gal... ;) Bought her a box of 38 SPL. +P 125 GR. JHP ;D ;D ;D ;D

JR's 3rd place finish in the Nationwide race was great for the momentum to continue into today........the race yesterday didn't seem too bang'n & bump'n like I'd expect...Let's see what the Sprint Cuppers do.... ???
JR is in mid pack again while the rest of RCR {0oppss dang it (thanks RC).. :-[ ..} Hendrick Motorsports is in the top 10 for the start.... :-\

The rest of RCR? Earnhardt’s drivin’ for Childress? Or, do you abbreviate Hendrick Motorsports RCR? Only one RCR mount in the top ten.
Psssssst…… They laid new concrete on it a few years ago ‘n changed over ta variable bankin’. Racin’ ain’t been the same since. Don’t tell nobody. They’re tryin’ ta keep it on the QT.

Thank You RC.... I know better and should have done better.... I stand corrected and have corrected.... Thanks again!
Short track race'n is short track race'n and is usually more aggressive then what was shown yesterday despite the banking....IMHO
The little pretty girl had a few bumps
LOL....and STILL does!....LOL :D :D

Super Speedway Fontana next weekend then on back to Short Track.... Hopefully Martinsville will be more "ruffian" then this "Nice Race" that went on today and this weekend.... :-\ :-\
Good finish for JR 'cept for shoot'n himself in the foot he just missed another top 10... :-\

Race Day!!!
Here we go again... Will be kick'n back today with a 30 pk of PBR's today and probably into Martinsville next weekend... ;) I'm a beer drinker OK but thirty is too much of a hangover and I DO justify my existence with hard work... ::)
Good race yesterday in the Nationwide Series.... That 18 Team is sumtin' else for they sure put the skunk all over Cuz' Carl and Ol' Happy... It was sure funny those two climb'n outta their rides shake'n their heads and a smile'n in disbelief at each other {if I was a "mind read'n" kind of guy}... :D :D
JR's start'n near the back again but he's been pretty good at get'n back up front this year... Poles are good but find'n smooth race trim is what makes the wins and Top 10's! ;) ;)
I'm pick'n the 48 team to win for I think they owns this track.... :-\

I hope that JJ and Wonder Wimp finish at the back of the pack. I have become a Truck series and Nationwide fan. Sprint Cup has no parity anymore.

I'm in agreement with you Texas Lawdog that the Sprint Cup is getting sissy-ifed and that the Nationwide and Camping World is BY FAR more exciting!
Please forgive my ignorance...who is it that you have "Nick-Named" Wonder Wimp?
-
Wonder Wimp is a regular 'round here. Who whines at the end of every race?
-
NSCS. Four races, four different winners. Two Ford wins, one Chevrolet ‘n one Toyota. The guy leadin’ points drives a Dodge.
NNS. Five races ‘n Kyle Busch has won three. Three Toyota wins, two for Chevrolet. Ford ‘n Dodge shut out.
NCWTS. Three races, Kyle Busch won one. Kahne won another, in Kyle’s truck All three wins in Toyotas.
My preference is trucks because it is. Wonder Wimp has been Jeffy Poo and/or Jeff Gordon since the beginning of time. No one refers to JJ as Mini-Me anymore.
Speed TV has a message board. The hard facts aren't on it but there's a lot of fan boy stuff. L'il nicknames, school yard stuff 'n 'my driver's better yers because mommy said so' 'n such.
-
Wonder Wimp is a regular 'round here. Who whines at the end of every race?
Thanks Mr Tanner; however, I must be thick as a brick.... ??? ??? ???
I suppose that "Wonder Wimp" Could and HAS pertained to any car-number on the race field at one time or much more often for some.....
I'm guessing that "Wonder Wimp" is the one at the end of the race that is whinn'n the most and the label is like a travel'n trophy given to that race's biggest whinnier? ??? ??? ???
OR is that "Regular" a certain driver... for that the question is still unanswered... :-\ :-\So... to all out there.... Who is Your "Wonder Wimp"?
-
Look up at Arcey's post.
-
Look up at Arcey's post.
He was a post'n when I was type'n an ask'n; therefore, you are concurring that the Wonder Wimp is the 24 car... ;)
-
Wow... where did that 29 car come from........ :o
12th place for JR is good for him here lately....Top 10's are what is needed :( :-\ :(
Back to short track....the flat paper-clip of Martinsville...Yipppeee :)
-
Wonder Wimp is, was, and will ever be Jeffie Gordon. He is a crybaby when things don't go his way. He will never be able to intimidate anyone. I don't ever want to have him compared to Dale Sr., he couldn't carry Sr.'s helmet bag.

Thank You... I R ed-u-ma-kayd-ed..... :D

Make that five different winners in cup……
What ticked me off about Gordon was the Davis situation. Davis took a chance ‘n stuck ‘im inna Busch car. He carried him thru two seasons then worked things out to go cup racin’ with ‘im. Davis hocked the farm to get the cup effort together and at the last minute Hendrick offered Gordon a ride ‘n he didn’t know who Bill Davis was after that. The deal left Davis deep in debt without a driver.
-
I don't think Bill Davis Racing was ever the same.
-
I think Bill got smacked in the head with a fryin pan when he wasn't lookin. It was like sneakin up on yer dad when he is wrappin yer Christmas presents and kickin him in the ribs. Got no respect for that kind of behavior.
-
Gordon has had superior equipment to drive for most of his career. It would be interesting to see him in second-rate equipment.
-

It would give him somethin else ta blame fer loosin.
-
Y’all know he ain’t on my list of favorites but anyone thinkin’ Gordon can’t drive is foolin’ themselves. You don’t win four championships with the best of stuff unless you can get the most out of it.
They all whine. Grubb had to speak for Steward yesterday ‘cuz Steward was off poutin’ after the race. That’s the second time this season in just five races.
-
Fair enough Arcey, fair enough.
-
This new point system will put more pressure on the drivers to perform, if there wasn't enough pressure already on them.
-
Heh, heh, heh….
Jennifer Jo Cobb goes ta Daytona drivin’ for Rick Russell ‘n don’t qualify. They haul to Phoenix ‘n where she’s runnin’ at the end – thirty eight laps down. Then on to Las Vegas where she wrecks it.
Things get interestin’ at Bristol. Russell tells her ta start ‘n park it after she’s in it gettin’ ready ta go. She unstraps, unhooks ‘n gets out right then ‘n there. They both come up with stories favorable ta their side. He later files a criminal complaint namin’ her as a suspect inna larceny.
She, on the other hand, is rescued by a knight in shinin’ armor in the person of Rick Ware. She’ll be drivin’ full races for him. So, what happens at California? She parks it right about at the end of a fuel run. Reason out is handlin’. A standard for a start ‘n park effort. Morgan Sheppard used it a lot. Said he couldn’t afford a set of tires ‘n without fresh tires it went where it wanted to.
Now we see Jeffery Earnhardt, Dale’s grand son ‘n Kerry’s boy, get fired from his truck ride. Both sides tell tales favorab…….. yeah, that one. But, today they kiss ‘n make up. Earnhardt will be in the #1 at Martinsville. The team owner? Rick Ware.
All kinda reminds me of when Earnhardt announced he was leavin’ DEI. Rick Hendrick said there was “no room at the inn” for ‘im. Then he fired Kyle Busch ‘n hired Earnhardt.
Nice move, Rick. Busch has won 16 races since then. Earnhardt, 1, but he sure brings in a lot of money sellin’ souvenirs, huh, Rick?
Strange folks these racers………………………
-
Money keeps the wheels greased. This weekend is the Paper Clip. Get them Brakes cool!
-
Always a good race Pop so long as no one wrecks.
-
Keeps the fabricators ‘n anger management counselors employed…….
-
The two restrictor pate races(Daytona and Talladega) keep the fabricators busy. Martinsville and Bristol are both good for a lot of dents in sheetmetal.

Martinsville Qualifying all morning then the trucks race this afternoon...My most favorite track...hopefully a lot of action to go with that 30 pk of PBR's..... ;D ;D

Did Donnie Nuenberger (Sp?) lose his ride.

Yeti ...he calls into a radio show here on thursday's 2 weeks ago before Fontane, I'm pretty sure he said he'd be at Martinsville, this week he said he would not be going to. I thought maybe something was up. He said earlier this year he would run a limited number of races.
-
I'm not really sure Litl' Rooster but I think the next Nationwide race is next weekend in Texas.....
Just thought that Donnie had a 10 race contract with them their Eagle Convenience Stores and it was just up in the air which races those would be.... and that Koch kid would be filling in for the other races with his own sponsors... ???
-
Next weekend is the race at TMS. I'm gonna watch it on TV. I had a friend that had two of the skyboxes leased when the track opened. He went got drown,so there went my free skybox seats. I got see all the races at TMS for free for the first 2 years the track was open. I have sorta got soured on the Cup Series. I think that the Nationwide and the Truck Series are more exciting and more competitive.
-
RACE DAY!!!
Missed the trucks yesterday dang it.... Had-ta get a couple ivories yank'd outta this ol' rock... :o :o :o
Again, this is my favorite track and I'm hope'n ta enjoy some angry-action with the PBR's... Think'n that Hamlin fella is the winner again ??? ::) ???
I see ol' Mark Martin is top starter for Hendrick...Just gotta love this guy competing hard after all these years.. A Smart Driver! ;)

Could be interestin’. The cup thingys are runnin’ the same codes the trucks ran yestitty. Sauter’s truck was cordin’ the right rear pretty good all day,
Hear tell Darby ‘n Pemberton are ‘comfortable’ with the tires. Darby said sumthin’ like race it ‘n see what it does. Reckon they figger it won’t be their race cars gettin’ tore up.
Oh well……………….

We're watching the Rangers playing Boston this afternoon instead of NASCAR. We sorta slept in for a change. We took Victoria to the park for a run. We got 30 mph winds around. My Magolia tree is shedding dead leaves and now the patio is covered with leaves. Pot Roast with carrots and onions, with snaps and red skin tates for supper tonight. If the Ranger win this afternoon, they will have swept the Red Sox.

Ol Harvick passed Junebug on the next to last lap and ended up winning again, just like last week. Poor JJ got a speeding ticket on Pit Road. That's one I would like to have written. Junebug won 2nd.

The ONLY lap ya need ta lead is the LAST! ;D

I enjoyed that. A record number of lead changes. Good finish. The good ole boys did alright despite the tires. Just some whinin’ ‘n that’s to be expected. Harvick screwed up the ‘different winners’ thing but that was to be expected too.
-
Harvick has been lucky 2 weeks in a row. No one has pushed back when has passed them. I wonder if he will whine if someone does it to him.

We've got Nascar coming to the Metroplex this weekend at TMS. A good weekend to stay away from Fort Worth. I'll have a good seat watching my 40 inch Flatscreen in HD. Plenty of snacks and cold Bud Light.

I don't know I watched that so called dance today, I don't know with 10 yellows how it's advantage, other than there's fewer survivors. I have to say that 18 year old did a great job staying out of trouble
Arcey it was pretty obvious they wanted it seen when the camera was pointing at them. Maybe Coke Cola could go to the End of the Trail and do that.
-
That's plate racin'. I enjoy watchin' the strategy 'n seein' who runs with who.
What aggravates me is the money. Nemechek finishes 4th 'n collects 40 some odd thousand dollars. 4th tomorrow's gonna pay about a 100 grand more. It don't cost that much more to field a cup car than it does a Nationwide car.
-
There are always gonna be big wrecks at Daytona and Talladega. That is the beast called "restrictor plate" racing. It was good to see Front Row Joe finish 4th. I hope Mike Wallace is okay after his wild ride. He was stong in James Finch's car. The race tomorrow won't be much different. A lot of wrecks and a lot bent sheetmetal.

NASCAR updated the 'unofficial'. Nemechek is listed as third now.

Suppose ya can lobby Mike Helton {NASCAR} to "Luxury Tax" those obscenely paid Sprint Cup drivers and teams and subsidise the prize money for those poor abused Nationwide drivers and teams...... ??? ???
Would you lobby for a Progressive Luxury Tax, as a variable percentage as it goes down the finishing position or would it be a Flat Luxury Tax where all the Sprint Cupper's would pay a Flat say 10% or would it be a Fair Luxury Tax that would go something like: "From each according to his ability, to each according to his need " where the mega teams pay the most - the mediocre teams pay less to none and the small teams pay nothing and may share in the subsidy... ??? ???
I think that there is already a form of the "Fair Luxury Tax" in NASCAR now? ??? As in ALL Sports it is the Fan's who does all the pay'n 'till they pay NO-MO!!.... FREE MARKET WORKS if ya keep the meddlers OUT!
How about...That's Life and leave it alone .... ;)
-
It's the same old story with the Have's and the Have not's.
-
True.
Bruton Smith, for an example, has more money than NASCAR. The current France has turned NASCAR from a billion dollar operation to a multimillion operation. It wouldn't have much of an impact on either to pay the trucks 'n Nationwide stuff more. When the socialists took over 'n the economy started to tank the purses were cut ten. The ecomony hit the teams too. The fields are slowly shrinkin'. As sucessful as Braun was, he sold 'n got out. Hell, even the thief consolidated with Earnhardt's corporation. Billy Ballew has sold his truck team and he had a solid winner with Kyle Busch drivin'.
Mid pack on back, purse money covers the expences. Sponsorship is the profit. Without a front runnin' effort or a big name, sponsorships are thin. Kyle Busch was ponderin' closin' his operation down at the end of the season but he came up with an infusion of money from a ride-buyin' open wheel dude. Thinkin' it's prolly Roush's personality that causes us ta see him runnin' white cars.
Didn't look long. Didn't see a line on an over/under for cars runnin' at the finish. I guessin' no more than thirty.

Damn. Lost my over/under. Too many walkin' wounded. Nemechek parks it after five laps 'n finishes 41st. Hehehehehehe...... Collects seventy nine grand. Hell of a finish to the race.
Naw, Tex. Don't know anything about Ballew stealing stuff. Ganassi either. Then again I don't know of any association between Ganassi 'n JR Motorsports. Perhaps fan-boy can edjucate us.
Bein' a former LEO like me I know you know who the thief is. As we've said before, our former profession won't wash off with a retirement check.

Hey Dick Curmudgeon....Fan Boy here....... It's your quote......The only Earnhardt Corp is the one that merged with Chip Ganassi....Now if ya want to call JR Motorsports Earnhardt corporation that is your ignorance. :-\

Your deceitfulness even had Texas Lawdog confused and has me questioning just what kind of LEO you were; therefore, it is of my opinion that your retirement check is dirty money of income redistribution from the honest folks.. >:( ...

Ralph Dale Earnhardt, Jr., is referred to as just Earnhardt by many people. Found these while I was finishing my coffee. There are more but I don't have the time. I have things to do.
These are professional writers.

JR Motorsports is Earnhardt's (note the 's) corporation. After all, it's called the Earnhardt Nation not the Earnhardt, Jr. Nation.
I'll get to the rest later. Ta ta for now..

The patriarch of the stock car racing Earnhardt’s, Ralph Lee Earnhardt, is known by many people as “just Earnhardt”. Ralph Lee Earnhardt’s son, Ralph Dale Earnhardt, is known by many people as “just Earnhardt” also. In the race world today there is a few other “just Earnhardt’s” racing, occasionally racing, and/or just starting up a racing career are also known by many people as “just Earnhardt”….. This feeble attempt to justify deceiving communication skills because that is what other people do (Professional’s or not) is very weak minded and LAZY on all accounts…… :-\ :-\
I am going to be bold here and claim that the “Intimidator” has taken his father’s foundation and built upon it with his own talents and foresight “the” Earnhardt Corporation as in Dale Earnhardt, Inc. and How-n-What it has now become is another super gripe of mine that I’ll save for another time, this ends my boldness. All the other “just Earnhardt’s” have there own corporations (per se) that don’t have the Earnhardt name in it I’m sure because of Teresa’s doing…. So once again the only “Earnhardt’s corporation” is DEI that has merged with Chip Ganassi…. Earnhardt Jr’s corporation is JR Motorsports….
Those of us who fortunately or maybe unfortunately have been named after our father we are born into a nickname terminology that distinguishes us from our father. I too was born to such a perpetual nickname as the example of Lil’ Andy “vs” Big Andy despite the fact after the end of my growth period I was much stronger -n- bigger than my father; furthermore, after his death I’m still the Lil’ one. Others are: 1st or 2nd, Senior or Junior, Older or Younger, Big or Little, etc…. It sticks forever even after dear ol’ Dad has gone on to the here after…. Like it or NOT….. ;) ;)
The conclusive response of this obnoxious banter is and always has been: Speaking of Earnhardt is speaking about Dale Senior and speaking of Dale Junior is Earnhardt Jr. or just plain ol’ Junior…..Like it or NOT…. Of course, ignorance is bliss; I will not be dragged any further into the level of ignorant semantics only to beat with the experience of an elitist narcissistic antique flashing around a LEO revenuer badge. May have worked back-in-the-day to put people in front of a Judge to pick their wallets, today is has no respect or standing….. :-* :-*
Oh, and Tigger (ta ta for now); you are correct that it is not Earnhardt, Jr. Nation; however, it is not the Earnhardt Nation either. It is the:
JR NATION.....GO 88
EARNHARDT NATION.....GO 3...memoria
I'll look back next weekend for Richmond when I'm back in town... ;D :D ;D :D
-
Kyle Busch had the field covered last night at Nashville. He led all but 10 laps last night. He has set himself a notch above everyone in the Nationwide and Truck Series. It was nice to see Ron Hornaday contend for the win. I am sure that Kyle B will be the man to be tonight in the Nationwide race.
-
Might wanna shut off all news services 'n I'll check ta see if ESPN is gonna re-run it for ya. The race was this afternoon, it's over.
-
It was a 2 car race in the Nationwide race, Kyle Busch and Cousin Carl. Cousin Carl won in a Mustang. The Mustangs seem to be more competative than the Fusions.
-
The Mustangs seem to be more competative than the Fusions.
Thinkin' it's a better lookin' race car too but that's just me. Thought the Dodge turned out lookin' good too.
I was wonderin' if Busch was gonna move Edwards if he could get back to 'im. We'll n'er know.
-
I was more worried about Little Bradley K than anyone else trying to wreck Carl. Folks seem to forget about him flipping him at Talladega. Qhen Carl paid him back, suddenly Carl was the villian. Bradley ain't been around long enough to have paid his dues. I never found out why him and Kurt switched cars this year.

Mebbe Bradley really liked the pine air freshener hangin from the mirror. He seems ta get what he wants.
-
Didn't think much about Keselowski either way until he smacked Hamlin under caution back when he was drivin' for Earnhardt. That's kinda sissy ta me. Can't respect a sissy. After Edwards arranged for a little air time for him I suggested he meet Edwards behind the haulers 'n teach him a lesson in fisty-cuffs. That was on the other forum 'n his fans, all three of 'em, clouded up 'n rained all o'er me.
If I was Shell/Pennzoil I'd rather stayed RCR 'n Harvick - but I don't know what the money issues were. I guess they're happy with Busch, they're backin' his Pro Stock runs in the NHRA. Thinkin' I could probably find a better deal if I were Miller but they've been with Penske for a long time.
-
I'm thinking that Kurt is using his NASCAR winnings to help fund the Pro Stock deal, along with Shell. I don't the prize money in NHRA could match NASCAR. That Dodge Prostock does look good with the Shell colors and I haven't been a Mopar person since the late 60s or early 70s. Kurt has done fairly well with the Prostock, considering he ain't been at it very long.

:D :D :D Imagine that, lil' dick get'n wet on :D :D :D... Some of the best action since they took Stock Car out of NASCAR... ;D... miss the good ol' days like when Yarborough 'n Allison fist-ta-cuff'n turns three 'n four at the '79 Daytona 500..... Talk 'bout sissy, they didn't go behind some car-hauler.... Stock Car Racers where Men in those days.... see it once-in-awhile these days.... 8) Oh .... please don't hurt my car... :'(
Richmond tonight... Prime 'n Load up some 45's 'till it starts...
GO 88
-
Good day for JGR and the Yota's in general... ;)
JR drops another top 10 and a rough night for Hendrick Motorsports... :(
The American and the Colombian show a spark of yesteryear... kind-da... ??? To be continued.... maybe... ???
Saturday night racing again next weekend at The Lady in Black hand'n out door stripes... :D
until then... adieu ;)
GO 88

I think Comcast blacked out last nights race. I couldn't find it listed
-
Damn....
Had it here on Fox. Daughter #1 has a dish thing. I'll ask if she had it when I talk to 'er later.
-
I couldn't find it on FOX or Speed or any of the ESPN's.. Don't know what the deal was. They had time trials on one of them Fri. Heck Arcey your has close to RIR as I am, can't figger why it was not on here.
-
I dunno. Maybe they took pity on us southside folks cuz the friggin' tunnel. Takes us three times as long ta get there.
-
I think Comcast blacked out last nights race. I couldn't find it listed
It's the Gubbermint I tell ya....... Ya gots a long-form birth certificate that has not been Photoshopped and ya gots ya hat in the ring!!!! :D
Did O'bummmaah bail out Comcast too?.... ??? NO RACE FOR YOU!.... :D
-
It was a 3 car race most of the night between Hamlin and Kyle Busch. Five Time and his crew chief were singing the blues, I sure hate that(NOT).
-
Time to piss highest on the tree again for it's Fanboy here say'n It's Race Day and the time IS NOW!!!! ;D :D :D ;D
TX Lawdog is still jealous 'bout real race'n talent with a brilliant Crew Chief as a team who knows how to win Championships; furthermore, it looks good for the 48 tonight too!..... ;) I think TX Lawdog just wants to write tickets... It's in his blood! :-\
Lil' dick I have no doubt wants the JGR children drive'n Yota's to finish first and most likely will; hopefully, it is the youngest and mature one in the 20 car, for it is his time...IMHO ;)
I hope'n my future President gets a reprieve from the current President and has Comcast broadcast the race on his CRT or LCD or Plasma then again there is FoxSports.com!.... On the comp-n-tater that is... :D
I'm a die-hard for the 88 and the most unlikely to finish in the top 10 tonight as I see it: therefore, for that reason I'm think'n a win for the 88!.... :o
GO 88
-
I turned 'm on during the rain delay yesterday watch a interview with the one of the soap opera stars this morning (Montoya) Had real racing on most of the day. Mint Juleps for everyone!
-
'N I quit drinkin'...........
Montoya 'n Newman. Gives ta media sumthin' ta talk 'bout. Then ya gt the ones what get ta poutin' 'n won't talk ta the press affer the race. Oh well............................

that good stuff for NASCAR drama sells
sure is a lot of cautions tonight
-
Drama continued under the lights late last night. Honestly had trouble staying awake with all the cautions, finally woke up for the last 5 laps.
-
Managed to stay awake, weren't easy. Up early for the shoot yesterday mornin'. Almost a damned perfect day for it. Good crowd. I gotta write the next one 'n wonderin' if I ougtta do three target sets 'stead of two.
Good ta see Smith win. Real happy 'bout that.
-
Man 'ol man the Lady in Black surly handed out those stripes as-well-as the kids upon each other!... :D :D I is in agreement that those caution laps put the sleep into a fellas eyes; however, I watched some excite'n race'n... 8)
I'm like'n that the boys are tell'n Uncle Mike to pack sand and bring'n back some ol' yesteryear race'n.. ;) Let's see what the ol' Jackboot is gunna do to cool off the 'citement
Look'n forward to the continuation in conflicts between Have-a-wreck and the Toad.... Toad's been runn'n overs folks for far too long an I'm think'n 29 has had just enough! Reminds me of another fella 'round here... now lets hope his professional writers can keep it straight between Kyle and Kurt. ;D This marriage and maturity BS didn't have me fooled one bit despite how the professional writers force fed it...A Leopard doesn't change his spots and a Toad's warts do not fall off... ::) ::)
Had a gut feeling it was gunna be an "Upside-Down" Race and the unexpected was gunna be at the finish... Sure did NOT expect that my "Hommie" Team was Bust'n Out!!! :o :o :o
The Hermanator and Front Row Joe couldn't get it done much past the mid-pack then usually hind tit somewheres; however, a few changes plus the addition of Regan Smith and Earnhardt-Childress Racing Engines the 78 team have caught my attention this year especially! :) Than all sudden a WIN...Good Stuff!
Monster Mile next weekend!
GO 88

I would like to see someone besides JJ win the Cup this year. I have enjoyed the Trucks and Nationwide a lot more than Cup.
-
Ain't ready ta think this year won't be #6.
I'm hearin' folks sayin' cup would be more attractive if they cut the distance. I'm about ready to agree with 'em.
-
TLD I've been enjoying the Nationwide also. I am still not sold on the truck racin'
-
I enjoy the NNS 'n the trucks too. But damned if watchin' Busch stink up the shows ain't gettin' old.
-
Since I got the Speed Channel I have warmed up ta the trucks. I haven't warmed up ta KB.
-
He's an aggressive driver and he has a swagger. He is either real good or real bad, no in between. He has dominated NNS and the Truck series in leading laps. He is definitely the top Toyo driver. I just enjoy the Trucks and NNS much better, they are just more competative than CUP.
-
I'm hearin' folks sayin' cup would be more attractive if they cut the distance. I'm about ready to agree with 'em.
FOLKS ???...... FOLKS? ??? What folks? The NASCAR Race Season is just com'n up to a third completed and "Mythical Folks" want to short'n it already... to be more attractive? Really? ??? ??? ..... What has lately been the FASTEST (no pun here) grow'n spectator sport! REALLY?
ALL Race'n is 365 days long.... Horses or Horsepower.... Man - Animal - Machine... the differences are the Showdowns.
My bet is that Folks=
1} Snivelers who run partial seasons 'cause of the lack'n of sponsorships;
2} Losers who race to live;
3} Road Course haters that despise turn'n right just 'bout as many times as left then re-seat'n in Boris and the other "ringers";
4} Those who: ogle eagle's nests, believe that NASCAR is a waste of "fossil fuel", majorly contributes to Global Warming, it's not fair that the 48 is a 5X and should give some of his championships to those less fortunate as-well-as not allowed to participate in this season;
5} Last here but not final: Gas-Bag Popinjay's whose wallet is too close to their mouths. ::) ::) ::)
:D LOL.... rof... LOL.... :D

can that be google translated.

Race Day!
The Monster Mile has been pretty "cite'n the past couple days.. :o Rain.. Washed Track.. Fender Bend'n Big Time! ;D
Interesting line-up determination... Makes sense to line 'em up by the speeds of that track for that week.... 8)
Ol' Clint Bowyer in the inside wall at the end of a race for the second weekend in a row.... Bet his craw is full of that! >:(
Rain Rain Stay Away and let the Race be Complete this Day!
GO 88
Lil' R.. Unlike the current &%#*@$$, My Future President does not need no stink'n google... Spell'd Straight... :D ;)
-
Good race today... no Grn-Wht-Ckr and cars falling off one after the other under Yellow outta fuel like last nights Nationwide... that was frustration... :P
Good on the 17 team making the correct call for the win and a special WHhhooo RRAHhhh to the 5 team to stay out for P2 finish... 8) 8) 8) Have tremendous respect for Mark Martin and I don't believe that anyone in the sport today has more class... ;)
JR's 12th finish is good but he's going to need a bunch of 5th or better finishes to keep in striking distance for a championship... :-\ :-\ :-\
All Star Race next Saturday... pull the saddles off and give the ponies a good brush'n and some oats... :D Then saddle up and tighten the cinches for the chase... Can't be fallen off now! Sink'n spur... :D
GO 88
-
I missed all the NASCAR races this weekend. I was glad to hear that Matt and Carl won. I'm watching the NHRA Drags from Atlanta while the steaks finish cooking.
-
Kyle VS Kenin - Montoya VS Newman Rating gathering hoopla ::)
you want REAL male Soap Opera American Chopper SR. VS JR. now there is some DRAMA ::) ;D
But the Academy Award goes to " Chummily " on Porn Pawn Stars anybody that can pull off that stupid should be in the White House ! ;D
-
Cup race took on the Dover feel early. Went out to the barn 'n did some gun stuff 'n listened on the radio.
-
The All Star race is coming up in a week or so. It's going to be interesting with Harvick and KB in this race. I'll wait and see if they play nice together.
-
Had ta chuckle at Busch last night. Said he didn't have the winnin' truck............
Anyone wanna buy a bridge?
-
slightly charred?
-
A fix-er-upper. Spans the part of the Arabian Sea what divides North 'n South Dakota.........
-
RACE IT IN JR!
GO 88
-
A vote in will work and start'n in the rear with Brad & David who all have 40 laps of experience under their belts now.... Should have some kinda jump... maybe ???
GO 88
See Ya'll in a 100 laps or so.... ;) ;) ;)
-
Burn Out trophy goes to .... Cuz Carl and put a smile on the Cat In The Hat!! LOL...wrecker please... :D :D :D
Manhole..... what manhole.... Who put that manhole there? :D :D :D :D :D :D
-
ouch! You think a million bucks will cover the daages?
-
Conspiracy theorists 'n 'real' racin' 'spurts'll be tellin' ya he did it on purpose so NASCAR wouldn't find the illegal front end set up in all the bent up stuff..........
Hope they get the Iowa race in. Checked on the birds in Decorah early this mornin' 'n they were in a hell of a storm. Surprised they got any feathers left. Newton's a ways from Decorah. Looks decent there now. Mebbe it'll stay dry both places.
-
saaapooozzzzze them theorists 'n x-perts be say'n that Herman's gunna win his 500th start 'cause of inside Info from track designer / Big Bro and Sake in his tank..... ::) Then them illegal Preakness ponies under the hoods of those Horsey-Fords.... :o :o
Roll'n with Cuz'n Carl in I-oh-aaaay today.... ;D
-
This is a great race today. 32 has some skills but so do the rest of the front runners. Sounds like some of the cars need some tweaking. I enjoy hearing the radio transmission as much as I do watchin em fly.
-
Indy quals are duckin' rain drops. got most all run except one........Danica. after showers, takes almost an hour and a half to dry track. when I went back to Iowa, she was still sittin' in the car with a cover over it and umberchute over her.......... ::)
-
That was a good finish taday. No one seems to be whinin. Had ta make up fer last year an by golly...
-
I'm in agreement that this was a fun race to watch and everyone ran pretty good... ;D
Herman must-ta been runn'n that I-oh-aaay corn gas for just a sixth place finish 'cause the rice gas he'd finish first by a lap! :D :D :D :D
Congrats to young Ricky Stenhouse Jr finishing first for his first then the Cuz in first looser giving The Cat in the Hat's Horsey-Fords the top two positions..... GOOD Stuff! ;)
Next weekend Long Haul race for the good engines... :o
GO 88
-
I didn't watch the Iowa race. I got caught up in the Bump Day at Indy. We went almost every year in the 50s and 60s when we got free tickets at our parts store. I was glad to see Mario's grand son and Danica finally get in the lineup for the race next weekend. The race at Indy ain't like it was in the old days. All those famous drivers from the US, now most of them are unheard of. I will watch it a little, but mainly the World 600 at Charlotte.
-
I'll take it.
Be good if Trevor Bayne'd get well 'n run some of the ''cup-drivers-minimal' races......
-
Young guys like Trevor ain't supposed to get sick. Last year it was Brian Vickers. Trevor Bayne can be competitive with the big boys if he has good equipment. It was good to see him and the Wood Brothers win at Daytona. It was also good to see Regan Smith win at Darlington.
-
Good news. Bayne is on the entry list for both races this weekend.
Bad news in the NNS. Also entered are Busch, Logano, Keselowski, Kahne, Harvick 'n Edwards..........
-
The Cups guys aren't eligible for the Championship, just the money and trophies.
-
...and the sponsors.
Heard a commentator early on say there'd be a true NNS champion this year. Thinkin' it'll be more like best in class. I'll be anxious to see what difference it makes next season.
-
It's gonna take a year or so to get things settled. Maybe it will encourage more NNS teams to compete.
-
RACE DAY!!
The Purdy Lil' Girl finished good in the open wheel game.... :)
Time for the Long Haul Race and I'm think'n it'll belong to the 48 car and the Hendrick Engines... ;D ;D {this will twist up some panties.... :D }
Wonder who'll help the Toad out into the wall today... ???
GO 88
In Memoriam of those Who Gave All....
-
I;m hoping that 5 time and Wonder Wimp finish behind Junebug and Mark tonight. I'm hoping that Ford might win tonight. Anyone can win it, just as long as it ain't 24 or 48. I feel sorry for Heldebrand at Indy, He came into Turn 4 too fast, and brushed the wall. He still finished 2nd. Chip's boys need to get better fuel milege.
-
LOL
To quote Chad Kanus on the rad-do: " You Got To Be @?&$ing Kidd'n Me! " :o :o :D :D J-I-N-X ?
Time for the Long Haul Race and I'm think'n it'll belong to the 48 car and the Hendrick Engines... ;D ;D {this will twist up some panties.... :D }
The Toad put his own butt into the wall.... :D :D :D
Oh my man JR,,,,, Gladly pay you next Tuesday for a cup of gas today! :'( :'( Dang-it that was close! The JR Nation got knock on their butt again; however, still a top 10! ;D ;D GO 88
Ol' Happy wins out of the blue!!! :D :D :D Had to be scratch'n his head ask'n How did I get Here AGAIN?
FUN FINISH! 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) LOL

Seems JR just can't buy a win ::)
-
Seems JR just can't buy a win ::)
well he could have bought a couple more gals of fuel
looks like the Indy cars had a problem on the white flag also
-
Yeah, 499+ miles and screw up on the last turn ::) :o
-
Enjoyed the race myownself. Last week not so much 'n was hopin' for better. It was better.
-
well he could have bought a couple more gals of fuel
Nope JUST A CUP.... a mere 8 oz...... :-\ :-\ :-\
Yeah, 499+ miles and screw up on the last turn ::) :o
Hardly a screw up.... many teams were row'n that same boat some just sank sooner then others.... ::) ::) ......
JR finished 7th... a bunch better then those who "splashed up" i.e.: the Biff ... ;), Happy {the winner} & Burton was pushed by teammate Menard while their engines where off... totally legal 'cept last lap.... :) :) :) ALL where play'n the same dice!! ;)
Screw-up....Nope! ::) IT's:
JUST RACE'n.... ;D ;D ;D
The screw-up would have been throw'n the Yeller Flag on that last crash... Thank You NASCAR!
-
Yeah, 499+ miles and screw up on the last turn ::) :o
Just caught a replay of that. That kid has to be sick over it.

Thanks for that. It ain't quite what I remember from last night but that's ok.
I suppose I should tell you, what you quoted me as saying wasn't about Charlotte or the 88........

Sorry Pard,
Camping World Trucks today (June 4, 2011) at Kansas then tonight Nationwide at Chicago-land...... tomorrow Sprint Cup at Kansas
Trucks NEXT Friday at Texas..... ;)
Going to the Big City to buy a new furnace (broken for 17 years tired of split'n all that wood and caus'n globle warming... :D ) and take the Nice Lady out to brakefast... race day! :D :D :D
Hope to be back for the truck race... 8)
-
I was a week ahead. Next weekend is the Trucks and IRL at TMS. It looks like we might have someone besides Busch win today. They missed the setup on the 18 truck today. If the temp. around here stays the same next week, it will be a hot one at TMS.
-
Didn't have much time ta watch practice, was gettin' guns 'n stuff in the station wagon. Did see Busch drivin' the 46. Ain't sure it's a lease or sale but it's a KBM truck 'n the folks had it couldn't get it in the track. Heard the pit reporter say Ren was messin' with it too. Guess they figgered they could fix the 18 durin' the race.........
-
I was glad to see Boyer win at the track in Kansas. He had the best truck most of the night. KB had some issues with the 22 truck owned by RCR near the end of the race. He went to the garage and had a confrontation with Richard and Richard put a whoopin' on him. I hope that takes some of the arrogance out of him. That's how things should be settled inhouse and keep NASCAR out of it.
-
Hehehehehehehehehe.
I doubt it. Looks bad for Coulter tho. Can't handle things hisownself.
-
KB may need some big sunglasses today. KB didn't have a competative truck last night and he wasn't happy about. He didn't like the idea of Coulter being able to outrun him.
-
Damn.... Sorry I missed it. After Coulter asked Childress to beat Busch up for 'im......
So serious Childress 'took off his jewelery'. Wow! A planned assault. Sound of it he sucker punched Busch. They were pulled apart then Childress went after 'im again. Guessin' it was akin ta Harvick - wait fer yer back up ta get there 'fore ya get out ta fight - with yer helmet on.
NASCAR sez Childress started it. Busch didn't do anything to violate his probation. Considered throwin' the old man out the facility for taday but decided to let 'im stay 'n restrict 'im ta certain areas. Pit road ain't one of 'em.
Said they'd announce 'actions' Monday morn, I'd bet on Tuesday. No action against Busch.
-
RACE DAY!!!! ;D
Lifted this off the NASCAR.COM page:
KANSAS CITY, Kan. -- NASCAR is looking into reports of an altercation between team owner Richard Childress and owner/driver Kyle Busch, NASCAR officials confirmed Saturday.
Details were sketchy, but the altercation reportedly occurred after Saturday's Camping World Truck Series race at Kansas Speedway, won by Clint Bowyer, who drives for Childress in the Sprint Cup Series.
Pit reporter Ray Dunlap posted the following on his Twitter account after the race: "Hot news from the track. Grandpa Childress put a whipping on Kyle Busch in the Truck garage. Look for big sun glasses on kubu sun."
(Dunlap actually meant "KyBu," the twitter shorthand for Kyle Busch. "KuBu" refers to brother Kurt Busch.)
Later, Jeff Gluck of SB Nation reported, "Kyle Busch was put into a headlock and punched several times by famed team owner Richard Childress before falling to the ground, according to several people with direct knowledge of an altercation ..."
Busch finished sixth in his No. 18 Toyota after racing hard for fifth against RCR driver Joey Coulter, who passed Busch for the position on the final lap. After the checkered flag, Busch drove up beside Coulter and bumped the No. 22 truck.
Bill Janitz, a spokesman for Busch, told The Associated Press in an email that "there won't be any comment tonight." A phone message left for Richard Childress Racing seeking comment was not immediately returned.
Busch is on probation for all NASCAR events through June 15, the result of a post-race, pit-road confrontation between Busch and Kevin Harvick at Darlington.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.
Sounds to me that the TOAD got some of what he's ALL got comm'n...... :D :D Coulter is a Rookie and there are a good score (I'm SURE) of Mentors who will school him how to cook up frog legs... ;D ;D give it time... 8)
Just seen the Toad cry'n he didn't do anything on "Race Day" and it was all Childress.... sniveling twerp... ::) Wonder how long it'll be before some self-rightous LEO will be all over Richard for the blame and who's the one to help the Toad find the wall today... ???

Still going on about it. Busch is lettin Nascar handle it. Tuned inta the Kansas race an it's all they can talk about. KB looks like a stiff wind would blow 'im away, Nothin more than a school yard deal, they need ta let it go.
-
Kinda liked Harvick. The steerin' wheel on 'n off thing then waitin' for a crew member to show at Darlington before he gets out ta put a smackin' on Busch, lost a lot respect for 'im. Damn, it's Busch, out of the car he couldn't be that tough ta take down.
Hate to lose respect for Childress. I remember him when he drove the three himself. 'Course, I don't understand why someone pays to be led to an elephant so he can kill it for a trophy either. But, that's him.
-
Still got my respect for J. J. Say what ya will but it seems if he don't have somethin nice ta say he don't say it at all. Seems he did some whinin awhile back an got over it.

LOL...ROF...LOL....You WIN.. Here's Your Sign!.... Take a shot at Childress Vineyards too... I'm sure ya got some BS opine of how he stole the land from somebody! ::) ::) ::) ::) ???
I see a kinship here with the Toad.... drop "neapolitan landmines" in some one's front yard then cry "what did I do?" when ya get your eye blackened over it..... :-\

It was a good race. I can't spell the guys name but he played the gas right an it got him threw. Enjoyed it all around, a little bumpin but no wrecks.

I watched em build that track in 2000. There wern't nothin around there back then.

I think they built TMS in about 96 and the first race was in 97. This weekend will be the IRL and the Trucks. It usually rains when the have races here. I sorta hope that it does rain, we could sure use ir.
-
Damn. It did come out Monday. Musta been more serious than I thought.
$150,000.00 fine, probation thru Dec. 31st. The ole Actions Detrimental thing. Could be just me but that seems to be a bit much.
-
Ouch. I wouldn't zactly call that fair.
-
The fine was too much and KB needed to be taken down a few notches. Richard handled it "old school"!
-
Old school don't always werk tho.....
Bud Moore tells the tale of him goin' after Turner with a tire iron after Turner had tore up one of Moore's cars. Sez he found Pops sittin' on a stack of tires 'n as he walked up, Pops had a revolver.
'What ya gonna do with that iron, Bud?'
Moore said he smiled. 'Well, Curtis. Ya see, I been carryin' this thing around all day 'n I'm lookin' for a nice place to put it down.' With that Moore put it down 'n backed away.
Moore said he was so mad he'd ah beat Turner half ta death if he hadn't had the gun.
-
I had not realized that Bud was a decorated WW2 Army vet. He received 5 Purple Hearts in addition to his other decorations. He was in D-Day as well.
-
They wound up with a butch of tore up Trucks last night. Poor Ol Dillion seemed to be in the wrong place at the right time. The end of the race ended in controversy, between Sauter and Hornaday. A tough call to make, I'm glad that I'm not the one to make that decision.
-
Sauter seemed to be a l'il pissed.......
Got a kick outta Bodine. Tried ta take out the 18 'n when that didn't work he took out the 81..........

RACE DAY!!!.... ;D

A few years ago, when Jimmy Spencer was still racing, he and Kurt had an altercation on track at a race. Kurt made some remarks to the media about Jimmy's family. Jimmy went to the garage, found Kurt, and puched his lights out. He didn't have anymore trouble with Kurt.
-
You don't talk about a man's family. That rule is older than dirt.
-
We'll leave out the part where Spencer popped Busch where Busch was still belted in the car, huh? And the part about he 'n Busch tradin' paint 'n Spencer losin' havin' anything to do with it. Spencer just waited to avenge the family name after the race. Must be.
My favorite Spencer was him gettin' his hiney whipped 'n arrested when he decided the cops weren't takin' his kid to jail when they came to serve a warrant.
Anyway.... From Mr. Excitement hisownself:
Jimmy Spencer says Childress was wrong: from a Jimmy Spencer article on SPEED - But take it from someone who has been there Childress crossed the line in punching Busch. No one should ever hit or physically confront another individual. Arguing, hurling insults or yelling at someone is okay, but you shouldn't touch them. I picked the wrong way to handle my problem with another Busch brother, Kurt, years ago, and I still regret it. I think Kurt learned something from me punching him but I learned more, and if I had the chance to do it over again, I wouldn't have hit him. I've been in several brawls in my time and nobody ever wins. Childress got off too easy. NASCAR should have come down on him harder than a $150,000 fine. They should have suspended him for three races that would get his attention. He took responsibility for what he did but never apologized because he's really not sorry. I speak from experience when I say that situations like last weekend's affect the younger generation a lot, especially the kids watching our sport. My biggest problem with what Childress did stems from the fact that he is representing major corporations with thousands of employees. Yet he let his temper get the best of him and he assaulted someone. That gave the sport the biggest black eye it has had in years. Fans and folks inside the sport may think it's funny, but these companies probably aren't happy about having a car owner representing them who assaulted someone.
And believe it or not, I think that Busch's sponsors can be proud of the way he handled himself. We're usually criticizing Busch's behavior, but I admire him for not fighting back and also for staying in the car at Darlington when Kevin Harvick came up to his car on pit road. Busch is the most exciting driver in our sport right now. Yes, he ruffles feathers, but so did the late, great Dale Earnhardt. But Earnhardt didn't outright attack other drivers. I admire Kyle for respecting Childress enough, although he got punched, to not punch back. It takes a strong person not to retaliate.
I still don't really see what Childress was so upset about. Busch wasn't out of line in bumping Coulter's truck on the cool-down lap. Rewind a few laps to when they were putting on a hell of a race for fifth place and Coulter slid up in front of Busch. If Busch hadn't lifted and let him go, both of them would have wrecked. Coulter was the one at fault there, so Busch bumped him after the race to teach him a lesson. That's just part of racing and how you teach younger drivers who are coming along. Sure, Busch did a little damage to Coulter's quarter panel, but he also did the same to his own truck.(in part from SPEED)(6-9-2011)

Spencer grew up in the "bull rings" on Fri and Sat night racing. I worked security at a local track during the 80s. We always had more driver fights than we dis spectator fights. It did get exciting at times.

;D RACE DAY!! ;D
Looks like the 29 car is look'n ALL OVER the Toad's butt: push' & Take'n... Take'n & push'n... :D ;) ;D I predict a long day for the 18... :D :D ;D
Hamlin looks really good for today's race.... ;)

GOOD RACE!! I enjoyed: however, I DID NOT like NASCAR calling off the 29 & 18 early and those PAL's need to mind their OWN business and stay outta the TEAM's business's.... :-\ :-\ :-\ :-\ :-\ Gave the free pass to the Toad and Uncle Joe,,,, Pick'n loser's and winner's again....
Dang GOOD DAY for HENDRICK MOTOR SPORTS!!!!! 1ST-4TH-6TH-18TH.... I'm sure somehow to someone it was rigged and HMS stole it.... ??? ??? ??? Let's NOW hear the cheese 'bout the Wine'r form the Peanut Gallery! ::) ::) ::) ::) ::)
JR get's another TOP TEN.... Still needs some TOP 5's then a streak-break'n WIN and two or three to get a Crown... ;)
Too bad 'bout the 11 car's tire.... Thought it was his race..... :-\ :-\ :-\

Looks like the Toad and Uncle Joe { in the words of RC }"waz caught CHEAT'n with an ILLEGAL front spoiler adjustment"!!.... :-\ :-\ :-\ Ya mean someone FINALLY LOOK'd?? :o :o :o ::)
Get a ROPE! :D :D
-
I quit watchin' when it is lookin' like "wonder wimp' was going to win. I was hopin' that someone would pass him. I don't drink wine and I only have cheese on sandwiches and nachos. Michigan has been a good track for the Fords since it was built. We've got an identical track down here near College Station called Texas World Speedway. I attended a lot of Nascar races there in the early 70s.
-

An illegal front spoiler adjustment? Heh, heh, heh.... yea......
Watched the start then went out 'n turned the radio on. Had some gun stuff to do.
-
Conspiracy theorists 'n 'real' racin' 'spurts'll be tellin' ya he did it on purpose so NASCAR wouldn't find the illegal front end set up in all the bent up stuff..........
............ 'bout Cuz Carl
An illegal front spoiler adjustment? Heh, heh, heh.... yea......
Yep..... That's what he said..... Heh, heh, heh...... yea.... :-\
Spoiler hight was what was stated back then by a reporter...... now it's oil pans.... ???

"The #18 Toyota was found to be in violation of Sections 12-1 (actions detrimental to stock car racing); 12-4-J (any determination by NASCAR officials that race equipment used in the event does not conform to NASCAR rules); and 20-12.8.1B (body height requirements car failed to meet the minimum front car heights) of the 2011 NASCAR rule book."
A little more help for ya, the cars don't have "front spoilers".
I really don't know why I bother.

Help me out on what's the rule book on OIL PANS... ??? ??? :D

I'd explain the violation to you but you wouldn't understand it. I just sent you a quote on what the violation was on the 18 'n you still get it wrong. You're a waste of time.
I'm done with ya. In a final act of kindness, again, I'd suggest you check out Speed's racing forum. It's full of people as childish and without a clue as you are. As an added plus there are no crooked cops or liars like me over there.
-
I'm still tryin ta figure out what a front spoiler is. I'm just stupid I guess. They would look neat in a Buck Rodgers kind of way.

I myself, like you, grew up just calling them "wings" because that was exactly what they are to do exactly what ya said they do.... push / stick that part of the vehicle down to the ground... :o :o Somewheres along the line of time they've become "spoilers".... ???
Now because these wings are on the front some folks want to force the term "splitter" down our throats 'cause NASCAR has coin'd ( I Think, maybe wrong) the term for the front wing.... :-\ :-\
These wings / splitters / spoilers have been used on the front end of the "Open Wheel'rs" long before NASCAR took "stock" outa stock car! :D :D
-
It was good to see the Mustangs finish 1 and 2 at Michigan. Michigan has been a good track for Fords. Bill Elliot owned it in the 80s. I don't need no spoilers on my Trucks, I just put some dirt or sand in the bed for weight and downforce.

Race Day!!
TX Law Dawg call'd the Nationwide alright! The "Cat in the Hat's" Horsey-Fords' ruled and what 'bout that Ricky Stenhouse Jr. kid.... :o :o I 'm sure he's the next dominate young star.... IMHO... ;)
I'm think'n this race is JR's today if he can out fuel-mileage the Cat in the Hat's Fords' as he done three years ago... 8) 8) ..... Steve Latarte has been work'n the fuel game pretty good the last few races... 8) 8)
GO 88!!
In "our" history RC I do not recall ever call'n ya a crooked cop liar; however, a "jackanape popinjay revenuer" yes, and that is just a pompous zealot... ::) ::) ::) ::) ::) ::) ::) ::)

June Bug is long overdue for a win and Michigan is the last place he won at. It's going to be interesting to see if the Fords can over their winning ways from yesterday. The Kyle/Harvick fued gets most of the press. Nascar needs to put those two in a boxing ring and let them beat the crap out of each other till they get tired. Nascar needs to repeat this everytime they have a problem. They will eventually get tired of having to do this every week or so.

-
What I meant about you inability to understand. I'm not going anywhere.
A splitter nor a spoiler can be accurately described as a wing. Neither has a potential for lift or flipped upside down downforce. They can be more accurately described as trim tabs.
A spoiler disturbs the air flow across the surface it's attached to. Hence the term 'spoiler. A splitter's purpose is to direct the air rather than disturb it. They're not the same thing, never have been, never will be.

Meant NO Offense to you Mr. Tanner, on the contrary I'm in agreement with you about this "Wing Thing" if ya properly read:
I myself, like you, grew up just calling them "wings" because that was exactly what they are to do exactly what ya said they do.... push / stick that part of the vehicle down to the ground... :o :o Somewheres along the line of time they've become "spoilers".... ???

It's all a matter of terminology regardless of the vehicle manufacture and the location of these "spoilers-vortex generator-splitter-what ever" to create a composite of wings to make the Whole Vehicle a WING! There will be a high pressure side and a low pressure side... lift or down force... depends how the wing is configured
It's all about low drag and down-force in car racing!
I Humbly apologize to you Mr. Leo Tanner if you took offense by me including you with myself as a response to RC's quote......
PS.... This whole thing is getting outta hand... I shall make no further comment on this "wing" matter.... :-X

I got to see my first Nascar race in 1963, The Daytona 500. We got free tickets when we had the parts store and sold products that were used by the teams. My Dad was Service Manager at our local Ford dealership from 53 to 57. He was a Ford man. He thought that Ford only built one good engine, The flathead. We had auto related busineses until 1970, when he was elected Sheriff, which he served for almost 8 years. He passed away in 78. We had a parts store, a body shop, a radiator shop, a garage, and a battery-electric shop. We had a Sprint car in 1950(powered by a flathead), we sponsored Cars, and I did some Drag racing in the Stock classes in the middle to late 60s. We also attended the Indy 500 in the 50s and late 60s. We got free tickets for the race as well. We had some long drives to Florida and Indianapolis from the Texas Panhandle. I grew up in garages and my Dad learned to be a mechanic by working on Model Ts as a kid in the 20s and 30s. He came home after WW2 and opened his first garage. He was always a mechanic and a Ford man. It really hurt his feelings when I bought my first car, a 56 Chevy BelAir 2dr Ht.
-
The old man had modifieds with flatheads. My first was a '55 Chevrolet, 2 door sedan.
Decent race for Michigan yestitty. The last caution made it what is was by clumpin' it all up. Damned if Kenseth didn't try ta get 'nother one.
-
Dad's first business after he returned from WW2 was a wrecking yard and operating the only wrecker service in town. He built his first wrecker out of a 38 Ford car with a hand crank winch.
-
Really GOOD STUFF there Texas Lawdog...... I do like reading/hear'n of family history of the ol' days and how dynamic your Pa was. He sounds like an awesomely talented fella... ;) ;) ;)
Cuz Carl seemed to be the only fella to go "Red Eye'n" then decided to stay in Sonoma.... A Wise Move IMHO! 8)
JR & Mark Martin are friends again for I had no doubt that would be the case.... 8).... Tough News for Brian Vickers..... I hope he lands on his feet with a competive team.... ;)
Putz'n make'n lead bricks for future lead-heads 'till Nationwide at Road America in mid-afternoon... ;D ;D
-
Yep, He was a true mechanic. If he couldn't find a part, he could make it. I lost him too early to Cancer at age 59. He wound up being a purty fair investigator, for someone who had never been a cop before. He was my best man at my wedding and he helped initiate me into the Masons.
-
I had not heard about the Red Bull team in NASCAR. I heard that they were cutting back in their Air Race sponsorships. I hate to see 2 of the Toyos not competing next year.
-
Lee White is tryijn' to keep whoever ends up with it with Toyota. If anyone ends up with it. The rumors started almost at the start of the season. There's too many to mention.
-
Interesting race and interesting finish for the Nationwide boys at Road America.... Fuel Milage and then: The Ringers.... HEH Heh heh yah... ::)
Congrats Reed Sorenson!..... Ricky Stenhouse Jr 8th
Sonoma tomorrow... ;D ;D ;D
GO 88
He's gotta get a win and maybe a goofy road course is it... ???

Cool race today and Kurt Busch's first Road Course WIN... 8) Kinda Bristol like of old but Far More Excite'n than Bristol now for sure.... ;) the Lefts and Rights was very entertaining today as Vickers and Fat Tony just cracked me up {and a few others}.... :D :D :D Really sorry to see Jr finish 41st with a raddooo hole'n up and killing his motor short of half-way.... :-\
Next week Daytona night races... Nationwide Friday then Sprint following night!! :) :) :)

That 22 car is doing better than expected this year. The 2 isn't. I'm not a big Ski fan. He ain't paid his dues as of yet, been too many of his press clippings. I would like to see Cuzzin Carl win the Cup this year and dethrone 5 Time. June Bug has a bunch of bad Karma, maybe he needs to make a change. Him and HMS has been a hit or miss relationship since he came there.
-
Right nice weekend. Enjoyed both shows. Didn't watch either. Read the articles the next mornin' 'n watched the 'fun' stuff on youtube.
Busy Saturday comin'. Shootin' morn 'til afternoon, 'Nuff time ta get back here, take a shower 'n grab a bite 'n watch the race.
-
I'm gonna set the DVR for the races on the weekend.

Heh, heh, heh........
Delana ain't won one since Daytona last time in NNS racin'. She's loaded for bear. Stewart, Harvick, Bowyer 'n Sadler.......
-
I wonder if she's gonna wear 4 different driving suits. Arcey, I bought one of those little laptops today, so far so good. The keyboard is a little small for my big hands.
-
Wearin' accountant's attire while she figgers up the damage?
Bet yer gonna like the computer, Tex. The netbook I picked up has been awful handy. Sorry I didn't get one earlier. Got used to the tiny keyboard but then this'n on the desk top feels so nice when ya get back to it.

I had been using Moose's laptop after my old laptop died. I had bought used off Ubid.com for $200. It lasted 3 years before it died. I can sit this little one on the arm of my mission style recliner and use it.

Pard ah mine does business with a patricluar book keeper. The folks have a raffle e'er year after April 15th. Called 'im 'n tolt 'im he was a winner. Finally got 'round ta stoppin' by. Won a lap top.
Last thing I won was a brick of primers.................
-
You can always use primers, if you do a lot of reloading. I never got into it. The last thing I was that 51 Navy, a holster, and a 38 conversion cylinder at this years NCOWS convention. I was completely surprised when they drew my name.

A finish like last night's Nationwide race..... Survivor of the last lap wrecks..... Good for the 6 car and David Ragan... 8)
Kentucky Speedway next week for cars and trucks... ;)

Just when Sprint Cup started looking interesting again...some do gooder had to go fire the ambassador. Apparently they don't feel they need Ms Duke to sell any tickets for them
-
Family sport, Roo. No boobs allowed. See Danica Patrick. Also see same female in SI, with her tramp stamp airbrushed out.
When Winston had it they used Linda Vaughn. Now, no cigarettes either.
-
Call me misty but I remember when fast cars an boobs went tagether. Is it just me?

NO!
Yep some one had to hold the checker flag.... they sure the hell don't want me topless at the track...That's what Walmarts for
-
I can remember seeing Linda Vaughn in the middle 60s at the drag strip in Amarillo. She was doing promos for Hurst products. I can remember the white go-go boots, the gold lame hot pants, and that top, opened to the navel. The stuff a teenage boy's dreams are made of! WOW!
-
In my opinion that is a huge piece of Americana.
-
Arcey, it's all part of the plan to demasculinize the American Male...and it's working. >:(

It will fail as long as there is the internet(google) and someone complaining on TV or radio about it.
Tex I remember those pictures of her (LV) also
-
I some video taken of Linda at a Barrett-Jackson car auction. She still looks pretty good. I always wanted one of those Hurst 442 Olds ragtops they built in 70.

SWEET!

Who wouldn't want that. SWEET says it all.

Major, That's a nice one. I always wanted an Olds Mobubble 442 of any kind, especially a ragtop, with a W-30 package.
-
I always thought this gaudy offerin' from Hurst in 69 was kinda cool in it's own way:

There's those gold lame hot pants! Linda still looks pretty good even today. She has several of those Hurst Olds in her private collection. Ah!, to be 18 again!

I always attended the races at Amarillo, whether I raced or not. Linda was usually there if "Hemi Under Glass" or the Olds Tornado was there. I never got tired of seeing those long legs and tight fitting clothes. Linda still looks purty good, A pin-up woman for us Old Dudes!

REALLY...... a flat tire commin' off pit row?? Really? ??? ??? ::) ???
Going in the wrong direction for JR..... Fate is a Bugger! >:(
Next week New Hampshire Motor Speedway for cars and Iowa for trucks.....
JR needs a turn-around... Maybe Loudon is the start... ???
GO 88

Any ya all remeber the Norton motorcycle gal? I used to have all her ads torn out of magazines and hangin in the workshop.

;D RACE DAY ;D
Missed the Nationwide race defending Pawnee Station from ruffians.... HOT DAY and HOT SHOOT!
Noticed that the Toad won his 100th NASCAR race... :-\ Good for him I guess.. :-\ and watched the last of the Truck Race in Iowa.... Good stuff going on for Thor Sport racing this year.. ;)
'Bout time for all the pre-race hoop-la ta start.... Clean up stuff from yesterday's gun fight and tune in... ;D
JR start'n in the back-half of the middle...... :( that has NOT changed much.... ::)
GO 88
NICE LEGS.... stretch all the way to heaven... 8)
-
The lower tire pressure has bit KB and BK real hard. June Bug has battled handling all day. Wonder Wimp and MM are having Battery problems. Carl has been digging all day and worked himself up to 3rd. Five-time seems to be up and down. Who wants it the worst?
-
7th caution due ta Martin. There are a lot of lucky guys on that track right now, the spin out had ugly written all over it.
-
Rocket Man and Fat Tony.... 1 then 2 WOW!
48 pulls off a 5th :o good job for his day ;)
JR... JR.. JR ??? STILL GOING backwards... :-\ :-\ :-\
Next week Sprint werks in Gasoline Alley as Trucks and Nationwide go Country in Nashville............ Kiss the bricks JR!
GO 88
-
All I know is after taday one member of JJs crew will forever be called "Lug nut". Guy is lucky he still has a hand. I can't imagine the chewing out that came after that.
-
He may be cleaning restrooms and sweeping the floors at work, after yesterday's performance. That is, if he still has a job. It was good to see Stewart-Haas finish 1-2 yesterday. As bad as I hate to say it, I think that JuneBug needs a change of scenery. The job at HMS has just not worked out for him for the most part. He has lost his MOJO for the time being.
-
Thinkin' Tex is onta sumthin'.
Don't take my word for it. If anyone is really interested in what's goin' on with the 88, look up the stats for the 25 since Tim Richmond left it. Compare how the 25, or the 5 for that matter, has run versus the 24 'n 48. The 88 is the 25.
It ain't all Earnhardt. The efforts were concentrated on the winners before he got there, they still are 'n they will be when he leaves. Currently 'e 'n Martin are runnin' support for the other two. Johnson has won more championships than Earnhardt has races since he's been there. That should tell even the most childish, ignorant 'n star-struck fan somethin'. Even those who suffer an affliction that isn't fixable.
-
I'm wonderin' if the 5 team will do better when KK is in place. Arcey is right about Wonder Wimp and 5 Time getting better support. We are hlfway through the 2011 season and a lot of folks that won races last year haven't won this year. Wins count more this year as in the past. Junebug has lost his confidence that he can win again..
-
Good racing the past couple days: however, nothing too exciting,,,,, :-\
Thor Sports Racing is still on the march and Cuz Carl wins another Nationwide pretty dominantly... 8)
I do not see what it is worth comparing ancient history of the 25 car to the 88 and/or the 5 cars..... ??? The chassis back in 1986 of the Tim Richmond era { Tim Richmond's story pretty tragic in itself with illness and a BS trumped up NASCAR drug test } has change several ways since then; additionally, the total revamping to the "CoT".
It just does NOT make sense that Rick Hendrick spend that kind of money to keep all the "secrets" for the 48 & 24..... ??? ??? ??? Mark Martin and JR are just as big { or BIGGER } of names as Johnson and Gordon so once again it does NOT make sense to keep the 88 and 5 cars "down in the struggle"..... ??? ??? ???
Heck..... Rick changed up teams { 'cept 48... ain't broke don't fix it } and moved JR into the 48's house and MM into the 24's.... :o :o Shook it up damn good and the season started off like it worked; however, it seems that it's going back to the Same Ol' "poop".
For what it's worth as I see it: Mark is looking to ease lightly into retirement like Bill Elliot and Ken Schrader, then JR needs to get over a ten year old memory with the other BS that Teresa Earnhardt pulled in destroying DEI :-\ Get his mind right with some ATTITUDE and take hold of his OWN Destiny like Fat Tony did 8) and that's my couple coppers ;)
Maybe Tony is JR's answer :o ??? ???
GO 88

The Legacy of being Dale Sr's namesake would be hard to live up to anyone. Junebug needs some confidence to regain his MOJO. I don't have an answer. Maybe he needs an analyst to sort out his problems. He's not getting any younger and he needs to get back on track ASAP. The Mustangs were impressive last night. The 22 was competetive until valvetrain problerms dropped a cylinder and put him out of contention. It would be nice to see the Camaros in Nationwide to even the playing field.

In agreement of all your points here TX Lawdog.... 8) 8) See ya next weekend in IN, until then take care of yourself! ;)
PS: Speaking of Camaros... I kinda miss the IROC race for the brag'n rights was fun!
-
I think that HMS uses the 88 and the 5 to test stuff for the teams. The 48 and the 24 benefit from this R&D so they can be more competetive. Terry Labonte won the Championship in the #5 car when it was the Kellog's car. I am hoping that we will have another driver win the championship besides JJ or Wonder Wimp.
-
Vickers won one at Talladega when he wrecked the 8 'n 48. Mears got one thru attrition. Earnhardt won one on mileage in Michigan. Before that I think Nemechek 'n Nadeau won one each. Long, lean times in between for the 25.
Busch wins four in three seasons in the 5. Martin gets five with the 5, apparently good equipment in '09. Does nothing last year. This year he's runnin' out the contract with left-overs. 22nd in points.
Same period of time the 24 'n 48 combined have won over 80.
Makes ya wonder what he's got in mind for Kahne. Then again if Kahne pulls another jump over the fourth turn fence like he did last weekend he might not be in any mood to push too hard for awhile anyway.
-
Next year will be interesting with Kasey in the mix. I still think that Junebug will move on from HMS. He needs a change of scenery. He needs to get his confidence back. He is not getting any younger. He has got to stop the skid in his career.

GORDON TALKS ABOUT TRIP TO CONGO
Jeff Gordon went to Congo after the New Hampshire race on a fact-finding mission for the Clinton Global Initiative. Gordon is working on a way to help those in need in the Congo and went to see conditions first hand. “It was an experience that will change me forever,’’ he said.
How so? I asked.
“I feel guilty about buying a bottle of water for two bucks,’’ he said. “You look at your refrigerator and you go like, “Oh my gosh, there’s so much waste here.’ You just start looking at every aspect of your life and the things you take for granted. I can tell you that the first day back, I just wanted to give my kids the biggest hug ever and my wife.’’
We have people in need right here..........
-
I donate to "Feed The Children" that feeds kids here in the USA. Arcey, I belong the Racing Collectibles Club. They are offering a 78 Ford Torino #96 driven by Dale Sr. to a 10th place finish in the 78 Firecracker 400 in 1/24th scale diecast. That's one of few Cars of his I don't have for my collection. I'll enjoy the Brickyard 400 this weekend.
-
;D RACE DAY ;D
According to RC's story it sounds like Jefffffy needs a big ol' tree to hug and water up with crocodiles tears!!! :D :D :D ... Freak'n Panzieeee... :P :P :P { HURL}
JR start'n in the usual spot... :-\ In the middle where he keeps gett'n in ta trouble with his "BAD LUCK" ::) ::) then this track in not a good performer for him too..... :(
I really would like to see JR "KISS the BRICKS" for the JR Nation I'm feel'n that it will be Fat Tony's win today..... 8) 8)
GO 88
-
Congrats. to another first time winner this year, Paul Menard. His family has close ties to the Brickyard for the INDY 500. Tough luck for Tony Stewart. Fuel mileage played an important part of the race. Junebug finished 16th.
-
It was a good race. 3:10 to Yuma was on at the same time so I went back an forth. Seems ta always come down ta the fuel an pits.
-
I'll take it. Menard has caught a pile of grief from folks cuz his old man sponsors him. There's a bunch of folks in the game that would be askin', 'Ya want fries with that?' instead of drivin' a stock car if it weren't for parents and/or relatives. Congrats 'n good on 'im.
-
I concur with the crew 's comments here on the day's race.... Damn Straight GREAT for Paul Menard and the RCR 27 car Team! ;) ;) ;) Paul and his Family seem to be total class people.... thought so since I gave notice to him when he was race'n with JR at DEI.... a young hard CLEAN racer with class and a good learner too... 8) 8)
It was also great to see that my local "Mile High" race team Furniture Row 78 car and Regan Smith finish 3rd! 8) 8) 8)
JR had a pretty good day during most of it and it just perplexes me for him to finish 16th... ??? :-\ :-\ :-\ ??? ???
Words 'bout fuel mileage, fuel mileage, fuel mileage..... They're ALL fuel mileage races with that "corn fuel" 'cept short tracks.... ::) ::)
Sprint and Trucks at the Triangle Track as the Nationwide hits Iowa.... Until next weekend to ya'll and stay in good health! ;D ;D
GO 88
-
It will be hot and humid at Pocono this week. Iowa is a good track for the Trucks. The rumors are hot and heavy that Cousin Carl is set to sign with JGR to drive the #20 next year. "White Bread" needs to go to the Nationwide Series, he is more competitive in that Series.
-
NWS is sayin' mostly cloudy 'n a high near 80. Twix now 'n then that'll change.
Rumor I read yestitty is JGR is offerin' Edwards 8 million a year 'n a 10 million dollar signin' bonus. Sounds like a football type deal.
'Nother rumor sez NAPA is leavin' MWR for JGR. MWR sez NAPA is stuck with them thru next season.
If I were JD 'n I got Edwards but didn't get a sponsor for a 4th cup car, I'd release Scott 'n move Logano back to the NNS full time. If I kept Logano at all.
-
I agree about Lagano. I think he would do a better job than Scott. JGR can afford to field 4 teams, but will they wind up like HMS and 2 teams that are competative and 2 that are not. Good sponsors are hard to come by in today's economy. I don't think that NAPA has gotten it's money's worth with MWR.
-
Only 29 trucks entered for this weekend as of today. At least 2 are start 'n parkers..............................
-
I hate that too. I think that the Trucks are the most competitative series, more beatin' and bangin'. Pocono will be interesting for the Trucks.
-
I just read on the Ford Racing web site that Carl has resigned with Roush. I am not sure that a move to JGR would have been a good move for Carl. I remember a line from "Days of Thunder" where Robert Duvall says, "There"s too many Roosters in the Hen House". I think that would have happened with Carl and Kyle Busch on the same team. I think that might be some of that between Kyle and Denny Hamlin right now.
-
Read Ford offered Edwards an undisclosed stock deal on top of what Roush offered. Looks like he took the package.
Kenseth said he bought Roush lunch t'other day Said the boss looked a l'il 'light in the wallet.'
Bad bad part fer Roush is the 99 is only half funded for next year as is the 16. The 17 ain't got nobody right now 'n the 6 is questionable. Part time sponsors for the NNS effort.
-
Last entry list shows 31. Five short. Be interestin' ta see how many start 'n park.
-
Catch'n Sprint Qualifying and waiting for the trucks to start within a few hours on the 2.5 mile triangle.... 8) There'll be enough trucks running to make a race of it.... :-\ :-\ :-\
This should be good company as the assembly of new duct work carries on for the new furnace.... Something different then gathering firewood for the burn season.... ;)
Good stuff 'til Nationwide this evening.... ;D
-
It should be muggy in Pocono this weekend. I am hoping for a good race with Trucks at Pocono and in Iowa for the Nationwide Series.
-
Damn! If it gets any better'n that I wanna be there ta see it.
Sure would be fun if the cup cars were there in Iowa tomorrow rather than Pocono.
-
Nationwide has another wild finish..... :D :D :D WOW!
Ricky Stenhouse Jr. has issues with Cuz Carl earlier, then smokes an engine at the finish line and Cuz Carl crashes him across the finish line! Love those team mate spats,,,, :D :D :D :D

Trucks washed out...... :'( race in the morn'n...... ;D
That'll put some rubber back on that washed-green Triangle track for the Cup Cars.... ;) JR starts mid-pack again,,,, more of the same with better results please! ??? :-\ ???
-
;D ;D RACE DAY ;D ;D
Looks like the Camp'n Trucks can play this morn'n at Long Pond without too much weather issues! ;D ;D
However, the Sprint Cupper's look to have BIG rain on their party... >:( >:( >:( More Rubber Duckies at Pocono Race Pond... :'(
I hate the "weather short'nd" races.... better ta race it Monday morn'n.... ::) ;)
Splish-Splash.....GO 88 :D :D ;D
-
Hour into the Rain Delay Red Flag as the track looks like soup with rubber duckies eveywhere and more rain on the way..... :D :D :D :D :D
124 laps complete as that is past half-way so a fork is going in the race just nobody ready ta say so yet.... ::) ::) ::)
Ya know Joey is say'n it's good but the rest wanna race sum-more.... :D :D
I'd be think'n that a fifth place finish for JR is GREAT and take it for it's been a while that he finished this good plus all HMS in top ten..... BULLY! 8)
:D SQUISH... GO 88 .... Splish SPLASH!! :D
Next week is the Glen for cars as the truck are off and I'm think'n it'll be another wet race on the road course... ???
-
"White Bread" might win if he is leading and they call the race. He won his first one on a rain shortened race. A top 5 would be nice for Junebug, considering how hi season has been so far. I wish we had some of that rain down here in Texas.
-
Well they got the whole race in and that big ol' cloud on the radar stayed away or at least put on the brakes.... 8)
Congrats to broken feet for stick'n it out for the WIN !! :o :o :o
JR gets a top ten and it has been some time for that! ;D ;D Thanks JR ;)
The 48 & 22 have an issue to work out and to the 48: ...."Nice Guys DO Finish Last" if ya gunna race him RACE HIM! ??? ???
Next week to the Glenn
-
The nice thing is that we didn't have to see Wonder Wimp or 5 Time in the winner's circle. Carl still has the points lead.
-
Is it over?
-
I hope so.
-
Hallelujah!!!!
The cries of many fans have been heard as Pocono Raceway announced Wednesday that it is shortening its races to 400 miles, beginning next year.
Pocono had run 500-mile Cup races ever since its first one in 1974.
“The 400 mile distance will make NASCAR racing at Pocono even more exciting,” said Pocono Raceway President and CEO , Brandon Igdalsky in a statement issued by the track. “Race strategies will change, fuel mileage calculations will be altered and I firmly believe that our fans will be treated to outstanding racing at the 400 mile distance.”
-
The new Ethenol fuel burns hotter but gets poor gas mileage. Just another problem for the crew chiefs to deal with.
-
EFI'll throw it off too. If they've settled on it full time by then. They'll figure it out.
-
I gotta a feeling that there be some concentrated testing before Daytona 2012.
-
;D RACE DAY ;D
::) ::) Another wet race and it looks like this time it's definatly rained out today but I got fooled last weekend; however, it depends on when they can get it started. ::) ::)
A lot of miles to go on this goofy track....90 laps worth...... :o
GO 88
-
It's OFFICIAL:
NO Race Today but 10.00am ET Monday morning will be the Glen 90 lap'er.... :-\ :( :-\
Next weekend Cup 'n Trucks go to Michigan and Nationwide go out of Country to the North..... Montreal to road course it again...
;D ;D ;D ;)
GO 88
-
I wish that we had Watkins Glen's rain down here in Texas. We didn't get enough yesterday morning.
-
TLD,I wish you had the rain instead of us too,My basement was just starting to dry up and now I have more water in it from the rain... >:(
Plus my Son didn't mow the lawn before the rain came and now I'll be able to rent it out for grazing land.
-
Sorry, Maj.
DVRed the NNS yestitty. Just finished fast forwardin' thru it since the cup race washed.
6 lead changes among 2 drivers: Kurt Busch(i) 1-8; Kyle Busch(i) 9; Kurt Busch(i) 10-24; Kyle Busch(i) 25-49; Kurt Busch(i) 50-55; Kyle Busch(i) 56-77; Kurt Busch(i) 78-85. Two under green early on. Busch passed Busch 'n Busch passed Busch. The rest were gained or lost in the pits.
Heard it said if ya can't say nothin' nice don't say nothin'. Sayin' anything ain't necessary. In this case, it spoke for itself..............

Wonder'd what was up...... hadn't received spit-balls from peanut gallery for awhile........ mus-ta recently got Religion.... :o ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? :o
Good Night ya'll and see ya next weekend... enjoy the race tomorrow as I'm a work'n fella so I'll see if I can't locate it on the Rad-doooo somewheres.... ;)
-
Heard that the "Tasmanian Devil Racer" sat back and let "Broken Feet" and "Toad" race out on each other then take the lead on the last two laps....going to have to find the replay and watch it myself.... ;)
Guess Brad's feet are close to being all better now so "Broken Feet" is get'n nondescript.... STILL pretty awesome race'n..... he's painfully push'n peddles to finish so well... ;)
Trucks then Nationwide today....... WOW..... a Double Feature! :D :D :D Happy Day!
-
They have a bunch of torn up equipment in the Truck race. Montreal should be interesting, especially if it rains.
-
Yeah. Rain. What I wanna see. That was a hoot last time. Windshields fogged up 'n the drivers couldn't see. Water blew in 'n shorted out ignition systems. After NASCAR figgered it wasn't working they killed it. Killed a buncha cars too. But it was a great thing ta watch. This'n here's about like watchin' paint dry.
-
I took it akin ta watchin grass grow but it's all the same. I like to play "count the yellow flags" it is a fun game.
-
Look'd up The Glenn race and what I heard wasn't really what I seen on tape.... Look's like Ambrose flat OUT RACE'D the children..... :D :D :D What 'bout Reuty.... wow ... that was the second time I've seen him tumble'n violently.... gonna have ta start calll'n him "Milkshake"... yeowzee.. :o :o
Truck race today was interesting.... didn't hurt my feelings at all to see "track debris" waste Toad's engine and what's up with "Oh Canada" before the Michigan race? Thought that Nationwide was roll'n first 'till I got up to look..... Maybe Michigan wants to secede to Canada? ???
Road Course Race'n is "elongated" short track race'n..... The "rights" give those who normally only turn "left" fits thus out comes the tempers as well as a plethora of other issues to give cause of "dandelion" count'n and pigment cure'n 'til things get cleaned up.... ::) ::) ::) Better then the truck race today... ;)
Suppose that "LEO's" need self applied cattle-prods or stun-guns for their satisfying excitement? :-\ :-\ :-\ :-\
Race Day Tomorrow! ;D ;D
GO 88
-
There was a lot of tore up cars and trucks this weekend so far. The sheet metal boys will be busy next week reskinning the wrecked ones. I haven't heard anything about the Michigan race for today. Michigan has always been a track that the Fords did well on. The track is over 40 years old, we have the sister track down near Texas A&M. I went to some NASCAR races down there in the early 70's. The owners didn't maintain the track very well and NASCar pulled out in 79 or 80. I haven't been down there since. The track is still there, but I don't know if it is being raced on.
-
That stretches the memory. College Station? I think Roush did some testin' there recently.
Biffle 'n Kenseth have the front row. The other two Roush cars are 7th 'n 22nd at the house Penske built. The Woods' car lines up 20th. Petty's are 16th 'n 29th. The Jenkins cars 27th 'n 39th. Rest of the Fords are likely start 'n parks.
-
;D ;D RACE DAY ;D ;D
All of HMS start'n in the top ten 'cept the 48..... ??? Guess Chad missed this track and has some work to do to keep the 48 to the front.... :-\
The 88 start'n in the 8 spot sounds kind-ah lucky and I'm thinking JR is going to break this loss streak like it began with a win here by beating the Fords on fuel mileage!...... ;D ;) :D ;D
;D GO 88 ;D
-
They's just startin out. JJ is already havin trouble, I hope he don't cause a wreck.
-
My, oh my...................
A strung out field 'n wouldn'tcha know it, a phantom debris caution. Heck, the 88 ain't close ta gettin' lapped yet, NASCAR. 'N they wonder why there's so many empty seats there.
Time ta get ta the gun stuff out in the attached 'n tune in MRN.
-
DANG.... Toad wins again.... Good on him..... ::) ::) ::)
17 car the only top 10 Ford and most of the top 10 finishers are bow-ties.... :D
Good show for ol' Ken Schrader.... finished with a clean car and just one lap down.... ;)
BAD MOVE on JR to come in for tires on the G-W-C.... Should'a stayed out with the skins he had on and got a better finish... ::)
Bristol next week for all... Wed Trucks, Fri Nationwide, Sat Cup..... All at night...
Ya'll have a great week.... ;)
GO 88
-
The next 3 races will be ctirical for the folks on the outside lookin' in. Hamlin seems to be fallin' apart and Brad K seems to be the dark horse. I was hoping that Hamlin would contend with Busch to see which enging outfit was better TRD or JGR. I hope they can duke it out at Atlanta. A lot of beating and banging at Bristol. Ya gotta come out of there with a decent finish and a car that is not torn up. JuneBug is really frustrated, I feel his pain.

How ya think yer favorite NFL team is gonna do this year?
Slim

I follow the AFC more than the NFC. Ilike the Broncos, the Jets, and the Colts. I think all 3 teams will do well this year.

Tex, I'm thinkin' Hamlin 'n Ford have let the last two seasons get inta their heads. The car breaks last week 'n Hamlin screwed up this week. Bad pit call at Pocono, lugs fall off the week 'fore that 'n motors didn't have anything to do with it. They can't hang they don't deserve to be there.
I don't feel bad for the 88. They've been in over their heads all season. A guess would be he'll stay in, save another melt down, but all he's gonna do is tenth or so.
If I were Gibbs 'n Rogers I'd get Busch between the haulers 'n use 'im for a handball. He hadn't screwed up the last restart last week this could have been two straight.
If the Skins can just break even, Slim, I'll be thrilled. They've done well, their ones versus our ones, the first two preseason games but they get inta the red zone 'n settle for three. Just can't seem to get it in.
Watchin' Houston last evenin' gave some hope tho. Kyle Shanahan designed that offense 'n their ones beat the snot outta the Saints ones.
-
Hopin' for a better season for the Broncos Tebow has some promise...SF got a new throwin' arm to the line-up came outta NV with good stats. Will give them Broncos a run for the $$. Saints I like for the "other side"
-
Still lookin at the draft. Steelers look good again and want another ring. But then again, who don't.
-
Philly spent a bunch of money rebuilding their team. On paper they look like the best team in the NFC, only time will tell. The AFC is the Pats for the taking. The Texans will have a better chance getting to the playoffs than the other team from Texas.
-
I don't try to make any predictions for the Brownies, they is what they is ::) :( :-\
-
The Browns will live and die on the arm of Colt McCoy. If he stays healthy, they might have a chance.
-
;D ;D RACE DAY ;D
Night race at Bristol will be fun...... ;D See if the Toad can pull off another win... ???
GO 88
-
The race at Bristol is perfect for night racing. It looks like a football stadium with a racetrack inside. Close racing at it's best. Tempors flair and a lot of equipment winds up in the scrap pile.
-
Man-oh MAN is that Blue Duce on a roll... :o He's just ON FIRE! :D :D
The Toad spanks the wall and still finishes ahead of JR.... ???
GO 88
-
Night Race'n at Atlanta this weekend..... That'll be a good time! 8)
Glad to hear that JR will be with HMS for another 5 years so now maybe he can settle down ta figure out how to throw up some wins! :) :) :)
8) 8) GO 88 8) 8)
Change'n out the the clutch slave cylinder on the Exploder today and watch'n some Go FAST--- Turn LEFT practiice'n / qualify'n durr'n knuckle patch'n and PBR replenishment before going back out to the mud...... Can't complain too much for I could be live'n in the Golf Coast doing this in a driveway there! :o :o :o :o :o
-
I was glad to see Ron win last night. He came up to our skybox the first year at TMS after the truck race. He was driving the #16 truck for DEI, sponsored by NAPA. He had a couple of beers with us. I've got a picture somewhere.
-
;D RACE DAY ;D
I too was very pleased to see Ron Hornaday win the Friday night Race, he's the "King of the Trucks" IMHO.... ;) I seen him once, run'n a Busch Race back in 2004 at Pikes Peak International Raceway in the AC Delco RCR duce car; consequently, that race was won by last nights winner, the Jack Roush 60 car, driven then by a rising star who goes by the name Greg Biffle! ;D ;D ;D
Last night's was full of excitement with the tires wear'n out quickly for the class rules limit the available sets per team made them push the limits as those with poor set-ups had disappointments.... (7 car) :o :o Ol' Cuz Carl snag'n an air line to over come another penalty for a WIN! 8) 8) 8) Oh and Reed Sorenson has sometin' to say to his team-mate... hhee.. hhee.. hee >:(
JR start'n the field in the 29th position..... Go Figure...... Hopefully he makes the "Chase" as a win today should ensure it.... maybe..... ??? The weather has to stay away first..... monsoon season in the South these days.... I had frost on my trucks this morning as it appears that the weather is at ODDS! :o Too short of a week for "rain-outs". ::) ::)
GO 88
-
All the wet stuff is God's way of tellin' the fools they're supposed ta be runnin' at Darlington 'n not at Atlanta this weekend.
-
It just don't feel right that we're having Darlington on Labor Day. That is an important part of NASCAR history.
-
All the wet stuff is God's way of tellin' the fools they're supposed ta be runnin' at Darlington 'n not at Atlanta this weekend.
OR the race will be rained out 'till Tuesday if was in SC too.... :o
Ya'll enjoy the GA race...... Race Day next Saturday night in Richmond ;)
-
Once again you show yourself as you are.
The NWS reported not a drop of rain all day yesterday at Florence Regional and none today until almost 1600 hours and that went away.
Good job.

LOL... ROF nut'n gets by you.... Yer soooo smart!

-
Dern, it's only Monday. An ya fergot ta say go 88. I lost a bet on that.
-
I got my snacks ready for the race today. Victoria doesn't like me yellin' at the TV during the race. She goes to the back bedroom till the race is over. I'd like to see Smoke or Mark Martin win today.
-
I'll settle for seein' 163 laps ta make it official 'n get the hell outta there. Nothin' against Atlanta, just the time thing. Least ways Charlotte is on the way ta Richmond for the unload 'n reload. Still the folks ain't gettin' much of a break.
Gonna be watchin' Edwards 'n Ky. Busch. Both of 'em can drive loose race cars. Boywer can too 'n he needs it bad.
Hope it's on the radio. I got stuff out I need ta be doin'.
-
I quit watchin' when WW got the lead. I hope this is not a trend for the next few races. I will cheer for everyone except 24 or 48.
-
Dern, it's only Monday. An ya fergot ta say go 88. I lost a bet on that.
I'm a WORK'n MAN and I'm outta town 'till the weekend... just happened to be home on Monday fer the "Labor Day" that I worked here at home.... I'm early to bed for early to rise to leave town then to stay up mall night for foolishness.... :o :o :o race day was rained out.... For the Popinjays: the Labor Day Southern 500 is GONE for now... ::) God forbid a NASCAR race should interrupt beer drink'n & knoodle'n on Labor Day in SC... :D
Plenty of Kook water at the "commie" West coast then to send off for the "Pungo Swamp Water KOOL-AID"..... ::) ::) ::) ::)
"A fool and his money are soon departed"
;D Race Day ;D
GO 88... ::) for LT ::)
-
I hate to hear the Harvick is shutting down his Truck shop for next year. I hope Ron can get on with a good team for next year. Harvick's teams took away from his focus on a Cup Championship. The Chase is set for the last part of the season, every man for himself.
-
If Busch doesn't shut his down it ain't gonna be much to it next year. It's too bad with Rockingham gettin' a race in '12.
-
I am glad to see that "The Rock" will be on the schedule for next year. The economy has had a deep effect on auto racing as a whole. It may never be the same.
-
The "Chase" is set and JR made it in by the grace of God I'm sure; additionally, it's going to take God as the number one fan of the 88 to give JR the Championship... :o stranger things have happened somewhere sometime for sure.... ;)
A bad night for the 48 shows just how far one can fall with a DNF or near the bottom of the pack..... JJ can't be feud'n no more with the 22 as it takes too long to regain the positions.... ::)
The "Blue Deuce" is my outside pick to take the championship and the 14 car of Smoke is my inside pick, everyone else is too high-strung to stay cool to win IMHO..... 8)
Back to normal race times and days for awhile.... Chicagoland and the chase begins.... ;D ;D ;D ;D
See ya'll next weekend..... ;)
:D SMOKE :D
;)
-
Congrats to Richard Childress's grandson on his win last night at Chicago in the Truck Series. We got the Nationwide tonight and the Cup tomorrow. The temps were in the 50s up there yesterday.
-
8) RACE DAY 8)
Brad Keselowski won Nationwide yesterday show'n he's still on fire! :o Look'n like a "Contending Dark Horse" to win the NASCAR Chase! ;) ;)
Lagano ran the "Toad's" ride yesterday finished 19th and young Truex ran the 20 car finished 13th, pretty dang good races for the JGR Rookie... ;)
Found this funny but also a dose of reality...... maybe.... 8)
Tony Stewart indicated Thursday he thought there were seven legitimate Sprint Cup title contenders — ruling out Kurt Busch, Dale Earnhardt Jr., Denny Hamlin, Matt Kenseth and, perhaps most surprisingly, himself. { USA Today Sports }
I think Ol' Fat Tony is lay'n down SMOKE! :D :D :D ;D
SMOKE
Ya'll enjoy the race.......... ;)

GO PACK GO!
Slim

Slim, What about the BADGERS!?
-
The weather is mess'n with the race but it looks like it'll get a completion in with a few delays... :-\
Sounds like Jimmy and Kurt are going to ignore each other by their interviews..... We'll see... ??? ::) ???
The 14 is start'n in the rear middle with JR, both have alot of ground to make up.... :-\
-
22-21 Skins. Damn, that was ugly........................
-
Looks like Chicagoland has been washed away..... just wait'n for final word 'cause I just can't be seeing a race start'n after 9pm anywhere... :'(
Ya'll enjoy the race tomorrow.... ;)
;D SMOKE ;D
Still say'n it will be on ESPN2..... ??? ??? ??? guess'n "never give up" despite the monsoon.... ??? ::) ???

Brownies got one in the W column, some improvement from last week, but.......they still have a ways to go ::) :-\
-
Slim, What about the BADGERS!?
I don't follow the Badgers. Sorry.
The Pack started out slowly but finally got 'er done.
Slim
-
Buck, They've got a decent QB now, and he is the difference. If the Line will block and give him time, he can put a lot of points on the board. Did I mention that he is from Texas. The Bengals also have a purdy good QB that also happens to be from TCU.
-
Hhhuuummmm.... Lookie Here..... ::) ::)
The 14 car won his first race and it's at the right time, start of the Chase, now second in points behind the 29.... keep the top "fives" coming staying out of trouble! 8) 8) 8)
Had to be Divine Intervention to get JR a third place finish... plus mid-pack in points!! :o :o :o
Please Lord, stay with the 88 car and JR to ..... ROCK THE CHASE,,,,,, amen
My Dark Horse pick finishing 5th and now behind JR at sixth in standings.... Keselowski's Blue Deuce still on a roll! ;)
Breaks my heart to NahnahNOOoooooo END that the Toad got stuck on his Doublemint.... gum chewers get what they deserve for NOT properly disposing of their used gum.... :D :D

;D ;D RACE DAY ;D ;D
New Hampshire Motor Speedway is supposed to be cloudy but dry..... this is to be seen.... :-\
The 88, 14 and 2 are start'n in the front half of the mid-pack today... ::) ::) Not as much of a fuel mileage game here as it was in Chicagoland; however, the fuel taken from our table bounty, has created fuel mileage more of a factor this year..... ::) ::) ::)
Equipment, stay'n outta trouble, and driving like ya stole it is what wins today, like the Toad did in yesterday's truck race.... WOW, just plain dominant! :o :o :o................ :-\
This is the Rocket Man's race and track this year as it would be too kool ta have another One - Two finish of the 39 and the 14.... 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8)
;D SMOKE ;D

:D;D"14"SMOKE"14";D :D

Look'n like my 88 team is make'n "humble light" of being in the Chase as I would have to agree... JR is damn lucky to be in the Chase..... :o :o There's still allot of Chase to go { 26 point to make up } anyone would have to agree..... Ya never know.... ::)
JR & the 88 Wins the Chase!!!
Ya never know.... ??? ??? ???
Finishing Furnace project today..... Return'n lead to the Earth tomorrow morn'n.....
-
The starting grid for the NNS is set. Only 1 1000th difference between Sadler and Carl. It should be a good race. I hope Tony can make it 3 in a row. It's nice to see someone besides 24 or 48 in first place. Good luck to my buddy Ron Hornaday in the #2 Truck at Kentucky.
-
If I were Harvick I'd get up with Childress 'n arrange Sadler's release. Put your buddy Hornaday in the 2.
Edwards stunk this one up.

Man's entitled to his opinion, {God Bless his heart....} Chuckle chuckle Just wonder'n why when the "Toad" dominates a race lead'n 90% of the laps he don't stink up the race but the Cuz does? ::) ::) ::) ::) Must'a misplaced the TAZER.... :-\ :-\
Ron Hornaday wins his 50th beat'n the grandson and might get another truck next year..... Definitely NOT a race CAR...... Most likely gonna have beers with Johnny Benson...... 8)
;D Race Day Tomorrow ;D

-
;D RACE DAY it is! ;D
The Chase "Pick" and Chase "Dark Horse" finished the Spring race like they qualified for today... The 14 just needs a top 10... ;)
Lets see if the Cuz's car is a good as he brags..... Stink up another race Carl!..... HHHEeee HHheee hhheee ::) ::) ::)
JR's new state of mind gonna give him his first race in SSSSSSsssssoooooo many months... ??? ??? ??? I think so.. :-\
Whoop the Monster's butt JR!
For LT: GO 88
Go'n Gun Fight'n.... be back before halfway... :)
-
DANG..... My whole darn crew got their butts whoop'd by ol' Miles... :P :P :-\ :D
That's Race'n!
The Chase "Pick" really got it handed to him but the 14 is still 3rd at nine behind.... 8)
The Chase "Dark Horse" last man on lead lap drop'd to fourteen points behind, still good... 8)
JR at thirty-four points behind..... a fork in it unless the Red Sea parts again... :-\
Good on the 22 for the win.... Cuz's third place and Have-a-wreck's top 10 has 'em tied for First Spot!,,, Seven to GO. ::) ::)
NOW the trucks have off and the cars are on to Kansas.... 8)
Great gun fight today and ya'll stay safe 'till next weekend!
-
It was good to see my buddy Ron win the Truck race and Carl win the Nationwide. I was glad to see that the 24 or 48 didn't win the Cup race.
-
Ol' Ron Hornaday is just 42 points behind the grandson and I would be as pleased as seven layer chocolate cake if Ron could win a few more of the last five races to go out as the next Camping World Truck Champ...... would help him get a Truck for next season! ;) 8) 8) ;) ................ If he wants it? ???
Then Cuz' Carl just took the Nationwide Pole again..... P2 for the Sprint!..... WOW, you'd think he wants to be the Champion or something..... :D :D :D :D :D :D
Stink These UP TOO Cuz!!!!!!!!!!!
I be pay'n attention to what the purrrrrdy li'l Go Daddy girl will do... ;) ;) ;)
;D RACE DAY Tomorrow ;D
The "Pick", The "Dark Horse" The 88...... Start'n "the same as it ever was"..... Let Kansas shake out..... :-\
Clint Bowyer is gonna run a Yota with Steve Wallace's sponsor for Michael Waltrip 2012.... It really is the "Silly Season"... :o :o :o

;D RACE DAY! ;D
The "Dark Horse" runn'n in the Nationwide was the stinker this time! The car was really fast as Keselowski drove that Dodge like he had just stole it! :D :D :D.......... The Cuz'n weren't too bad either :o Both will be in the top 10 today I'm sure... ;)
The "Pick" needs a a top 5 to hang with the Cuz... Harvick's cars finished all top six yesterday, but they seemed short of top performance as I think Smoke will have the edge over RCR today.... 8) 8) 8)
Sounded like the 88 spent all of the practices trying to figure out the steering ??? ??? ??? Totally missed the set up as JR couldn't find the track! ::) ::)
SMOKE
8) The Li'L Girl finished 15th.... far better than the "Hottie Model"......
-
DANG! the 48 is on a roll for six straight!
The Cuz had an awesome comeback to lead in the points instead of falling way back!! NICE JOB Cuz... :o :o
The "Dark Horse" in the Blue Deuce, now 4th in pts, is doing what the the "Pick" should be doing.... Come - On Smoke... that last pit-stop wasn't necessary and then ya screwed it up!!!! ::)
Six to go.... :-\
That's Race'n
LOL... the 24 blames the 14 for his motor smoke'n.... LOL
Next week back to Charlotte and night race'n..... Trucks in Vegas ;)
-
Race Day Tomorrow!
Toad loses to the Cuz with late caution flag in Nationwide and mad at team-mate Joey.... toooooo bad heeee heeee hheeee :D
Maybe let the young Truex race this car....... ?
Sadler climbs to 15 pts of Stenhouse for #1 spot.... ;)
Fat Tony on the pole tomorrow... Heee Hawww.... JR starting higher up than usual? ??? ..... Dark Horse is toward the back in mid-pack but not for long I'm sure... ;D
-
;D Race Day ;D
Ron Hornaday wins his 51st an cuts the points behind the grandson in half to 21 points! 4 more races to pull out another championship and maybe a ride for next year.... 8)
Root'n for Smoke to continue to a win in Charlotte, he's keeping in the front at the first part so far. The Dark Horse and JR are stay'n put so far...

My prayers go out for the family and friends of the late Dan Wheldon. Prayers for comfort and strength in a terrible time.
Godspeed, Dan. Rest in peace.
Thanks for bringing this to our attention Arcey......... My heart is just in a pit at the bottom of my stomach... :'( :'( :'(
Dan was a "Super Talent" as he was 33 years too young, :( :( The Lord needed the 77 open wheeler to race with the "past on" greats at His track.... :'( My prayers to Dan's family and friends..... as well as to the others involved in this horrific crash....
The 48 hit the wall pretty damn hard last night at Charlotte..... kinda reminded me if Dale Sr's smack..... Thank the Lord for the "safer crush barriers" and HANS devices... :'(
:'( 77 :'(
-
Haven't brought myself to mention that horrible event until now. That track should not be on the Indy circuit. May God bless his family and friends and see him on his way.

:o TALLADEGA :o
"The BIG ONE" is truly a game changer..... How the drivers get thru it easily determines the WINNERS & LOSERS! ;)
It'll be interesting who pairs up with who.... JR gunna push Jimmy 'round dega track? ??? ??? ???
Look'n for the 14 and the Blue Deuce to finish in the top ten then the Toad, Cuz, and Happy in the last ten..... :D :D :D :D
Trucks here in a few hours..... Cheer'n for the Ol' Guy...... Ron drive'n the Bad Boy Deuce.... ;)
-
Congrats to Mike Wallace and Ron for finishing 1-2 in the truck race at Talladega. Little Austin was pouting after the race, he has no one to blame but himself. I wonder where he would be without grandad's money and great equipment to drive.
-
Hey.... Texas Lawdog.. You're Back!!...... NICE!!
;D RACE DAY ;D
Look'n like the weekend of the Ol' Guys.... Wallace 'n Hornaday in the truck team up for a LONG overdue Wallace win and Hornaday closer to his Championship..... Mark Martin win'n the Pole! for Taladega... :o :o :o
Ol' Guys RULE!
Let us see how the "Big One" let the Drivers Roll... ??? ... How many Big-One wrecks suck'n up the Chasers... ;)
SMOKE
-
I had a bout of gout and diabetes that landed me in the hospital on my birthday and a week to go along with it. Congrats to Boyer on his win at Talladega. Some of the Chasers are licking their wounds. Carl is looking at the Championship. He got out of Talladega in one piece and has a 14 point lead.
-
From the Biggest to one of the shortest tracks this week..... Talladega sure mixed it up and pretty much put a fork INTO most of the "Chaser's",,,, :-\ :-\
With four more races to go, my Champion picks { Smoke and the Dark Horse Blue Deuce } still have a good chance to be crowned; however, Harvick at 26 point out is all over but the "shout"...... ::) ::) ::)
Sure is look'n like the Cuz will be crowned King if he keeps up the history as that 14 point lead over the first loser position currently held by Matt Kenseth is a mile long..... 8) 8) 8)
Busy day for Race'n 2-Day!...... ENJOY
Look'n Forward to Great Success for Ron Hornaday today!..... if the rain stays away..... ??? ???
-
Congrats to Hamlin on his first Truck Series win. Ron had a good finish and he is now in 3rd place in points. He's a long-shot right now, but never know. I hope he lands a good ride with a GM team. Martinsville is hard on brakes, so some folks will use them up too fast. I'm hoping Carl can keep his lead and win the Championship.
-
;D RACE DAY ;D
Tums Fast Relief 500 at the "Paper Clip" starts up in a few hours and Qualifying was set by point thanks to rain... 8)
If the results of these cup guys are like yesterday's truck results The Cuz will stay Champion position..... Cuz Carl just has to finish top five's to become the next Champ with four races to go! ;D ;D ;D,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, HOWEVER..... ONE finish outta the top 20 for the 99 and the Chase is back ON! :o :o :o :o :o
Keep'n the faith with the 14 as well as with the 2 finish'n up front look'n for that 99's bad luck... ;) ;) ;)
SMOKE
Maybe JR's hungry { angry } enough to win 2-day ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ???
-
There will be some bent up race cars and a lot brake problems. Sometimes, you gotta look at the Big Picture. Stay away from trouble and try to finish as high as you can.
-
Did I Mention......
:o SMOKE :o
Martinsville is done and Texas is next.... for all practical purposes it's the Cuz 'n Smoke show for the final three races..... bar'n any catastrophes by the 99 and or the 14 to let the others back in.... ;) ;)
Kenseth and the Dark Horse joined the "put a fork in it" group...... :-\ :-\ :-\ JR finished 7th!!!!!
On a personal note:
Please put Russ Wallace, father of Rusty-Mike-Kenny, in the prayers from all of us Race'n Fans..... :( Russ was taken off life
support this morning. It looks like he is on his way, if not already, to meet up with our Lord. Russ, was the track champion at
Lake Hill Speedway outside of St. Louis, Mo. back in the day which started the brothers on thier way.... { Mom TOO! }
My heart goes out to the Wallace's and God Bless Russ Wallace.
-
Prayer up for the Wallace family in this hour of sorrow. Congrats to Tony on his win, keeping the 24 and 48 out of the winner;s circle. Carl is holding on to a slim lead. It will be crazy around here this weekend. I will be staying around the house and staying away from Fort Worth.
-
Last night's truck race proved that a "snake is a snake" no matter how ya try to dress it up....... "Boy's have at it" should mean first order of business is that "Toad" rides the fence no matter which race series he's in..... :-* :-* :-*
That BS with Hornaday disqualifies Toad of ANY respect... ANY time,,,, ANY PLACE! 8) 8) The way the Young'ns are perform'n Ron wasn't gain'n the Championship really fast; however, it wasn't Toad's place to put a fork in it... maybe next year's ride too! >:( >:(
I'm plant'n a bug in Ron & Johnny's ears when they're sit'n 'round drink'n those beers a plot is made that whatever ride The Toad is drive'n it has an adequate amount of Skunk Sent!.... :D ;D :D
Looks like the Biff is the hot car right now for Texas,,,,, Also, look'n forward to the SMOKE -N- Cuz show tomorrow qualify'n in the top 7.....

;DRACE DAY ;D
The final race to determine who the next NASCAR champ will be... Smoke & Cuz Carl are outstanding Drivers and either will be great for me!
I hear that Tony is gunna put Carl's mother in the wall to win the championship... I didn't know she was race'n? LOL
Starting pretty far apart Cuz on the pole and Smoke in the 15th spot, Tony will get it done... ;D ;D ;)

Back from O-HI-OHhhhh and to my to my technology..... it's good to be back home....
Interesting to see that no-one has made comment here on the 2011 NASCAR Champion or this PAST season, next season? ???
Suppose the "Gas-Bags" got call'd out and ran under thier rock.... ??? ??? ??? Seem'd to have NO PROBLEM disrespecting folks until some toe to toe responces put a cork in it.... :-\ :-\ :-* Good Riddance Pungo Jackanapes! :-* ....... Maybe this had something to do with it.......
;) It ain't bragg'n if it's FACT: ;)
The "Chase" is set and JR made it in by the grace of God I'm sure; additionally, it's going to take God as the number one fan of the 88 to give JR the Championship... :o stranger things have happened somewhere sometime for sure.... ;)
A bad night for the 48 shows just how far one can fall with a DNF or near the bottom of the pack..... JJ can't be feud'n no more with the 22 as it takes too long to regain the positions.... ::)
The "Blue Deuce" is my outside pick to take the championship and the 14 car of Smoke is my inside pick, everyone else is too high-strung to stay cool to win IMHO..... 8)
Back to normal race times and days for awhile.... Chicagoland and the chase begins.... ;D ;D ;D ;D
See ya'll next weekend..... ;)
:D SMOKE :D
;)
Then This:
It's official.... Homestead-Miami will be the Smoke -n- Cuz'n show...
T'waz called here from Chase FLAG the Chase winner as Gubbermint Motors and.......
;) ;) ;) SMOKE ;) ;) ;D
Just Can't get ANY closer then this!....................... ??? Let's seeeee here.... :-\ :-\ :-\ best case will be that Smoke led the most laps, won the race and Cuz finished no better than third... ::) ::) ::) OK!
Next weekend! ;)
NOW THIS:
(http://i736.photobucket.com/albums/xx10/yeti76620/Smoke2011NASCARChampion.jpg)
OK... Cuz finished SECOND and HE lead the most laps... never said I was perfect! Tony WON the MOST races and that trumps all else!!!! My man JR finished over all in the middle at seventh behind the 48 and in front of the 24, just happy that he made the chase period. Then my "Dark Horse" pick finished 5th over all seeing he slid into the Chase at the last minute....WOW!
Then the Busch brothers.... HHHeeee HHee hhheee... hind tit suckle'n eachother with fines and penalties for being the pukes they are.... ::) :P Is that RC ride'n 'round with Kyle in that Yota? ??? :D :D They're sooo smart... ::)
;) Shootout Feb 16 2012.... Daytona 500 Feb 26, 2012 ;)

Someone said "round here" in the Colorado Territory that the reason our Denver Broncos are win'n with the #15 is because God listens to Tim Tebow's prayers..... has all the Anti-Christian's panties all bunched up... LOL

I really didn't care who won, just as long as it wasn't 5 Time or Wonder Wimp. The Busch Brothers can't seem to stay out of trouble. It would be nice to see both of them out of a job for next year.

One thing for sure TLD is that there is total agreement with you 'bout them there Busch brothers.... ;) ;However, the 48 & the 24 drivers are talented clean drivers with MULTI-CHAMPIONSHIPS an those Championships are not given away.... ;)
When JJ first started I called him "Crash Johnson" because he seem to be "Slide-ways" all the time race'n too loose smoke'n tires... LOL
I also feel like cringing { fingernails across a chalk board } listening to Jeffy talk with that nasally whinny voice, but a wimp.... NOT, he gets out of his car and goes toe-to-toe with ANYONE unlike the Toad Ky Bu-hoooo run'n INSIDE his car! ::) {Gotta be an ol' man and sneak up on him next to a car-hauler to get a knuckle sandwich on him,,, LOL}
Texas Law Dog,
It has been fun banter'n with you and I pray for your good health to do it some more next season,,,, ;D ;D
Take Care,
Yeti
FootBall
I can't help to think there is something 'bout this God "listens" to Tim Tebow's prayers thing here in the Colorado Territory for the manner of these "wins" sure has some sort of head-scratching.... Faith!
The INTOLLERANT here are just all over Tebow and his Faith:

Slim,
I'm kinda think'n that the Pack should be a bit worried if the Broncos catch up to 'em in the playoffs!! :D :D
-
Yeti, Thanks for the toughts and prayers. The new medicine has greatly reduced the swelling in my right leg and is helping with the infection in my right calf. I enjoy talking Racing, just as long as 24 and 48 are not mentioned. I am glad Tony won the Championship and good luck to Carl for next year. The Busch brothers are talented, but their enormous egos get in the way. Joe Gibbs and Penske will only put up with so much of their attitudes before they are fired.
-

LOL...... talented at bouncing off others then blame them for being crappy drivers...... ::) ::) ::) :D
Roger got it figured out and down pat, now it's time for Joe to get it done..... ;) ;) ;) ;)
-
OK.... after today I'm really really think'n God is a Denver Broncos fan!
-
That boy's got more going on than they thought ::) McCoy got dinged bad Thurs., he's not got much to throw to. Receivers just plain aren't good enough to give the boy a fair shake, plus the O line isn't up to snuff either. Another wait'll to next year............. ::) :-\
-
Another wait'll to next year.............
I know that feelin'.......
Allmendinger to the 22. Good on 'im. Betcha Hornish ain't none too tickled. Both of 'em from open wheel stuff 'n 'e's been with Penske forever.
-
Penske was trying to get sponsorship for Hornish to run full-time Nationwide next year. I had not heard that the Dinger had left RPM to go to Penske. Maybe Ragan can catch on with Petty. I womder who will take a chance on Kurt. I figger that Kyle is on his last chance with JGR.
-
I just saw on ESPN where Kurt Busch has signed with Phoenix Racing to drive the 51 car in the Sprint Cup Series in 2012.
-
I think Kyle is gone from JGR if he messes up one more time. I don't think that any of the major teams will be willing to take a chance on hiring him.
-
When sponsors threaten to pull out things get tight.
Why I was happy to hear about Allmendinger. Petty was makin' noise on dumpin' him 'n pickin' up Busch in a ploy to keep Best Buy. Best Buy hauled ass to Roush 'n then they lost their driver to Penske. Oh well. Tough business, racin'...
Busch to Finch. Ragan to an unsponsored 43?
-
I can't imagine the 43 not being sponsored next year. It would be a shame if the 43 was not racing next year. The economy is crap and I know getting sponsors this days is gonna be hard.
-
They're sayin' they're runnin' two cars. Kinda thinkin' they may drop the 9 'n use Ambrose. I dunno. It's still a l'il early 'n the last rumor I heard was Almirola.
The Skins most always have a chance, Tex. Witness the Giants game. As a fan, I've learned to be happy when they ain't blown out. Hung tuff against the Patriots. Then, when they win, it's an unexpected treat.
-
Arcey, If the Cowboys play the Giants like they played the Eagles, the Cowboys will be done. At the beginning of the season, I said they would go 8-8. I think that is gonna be close. They need to send Romo packing and trade up and draft a good QB.
-
Grossman...................
I feel yer pain.
-
Jerry Jones hates to lose. He fancies himself as a football coach. He know just enough to be dangerous. Heads usually roll when they lose games or fail to win the NFC East. There has been a carousel of coaches since he fired Tom Landry. He can't keep his hands off running the team and making decisions.
-
Hehehehehehehehehe................
Got me an obnoxious other-team-from-Texas (not Houston, kinda pullin' for them) fan this afternoon. Saw 'im comin' ta rub 5 & 11 in. Told 'im we did our damnedest ta help his team. Beat the Giants twice for 'em 'n his team still couldn't win the east. Also just kinda mentioned the Giants beat 'em twice, inna blow out last eve.
Don't think 'e wants ta razz me no more.
-
Arcey, The Texans are greatly improved from last year, especially the Defense. The coach played college ball at Texas A&M and was a backup QB to John Elway at Denver. The Eagles are my least favorite team, they spent a bunch of money in the off season, sigining free agents and they still didn't win the NFC East. I don't think the Giants will last past the first round of the playoffs.
-
Should be interestin'.
Happy ta see the Texans competitive so soon – kinda wish they had Grossman back tho but with Beck the alternative that may be a bad wish.
I'll jinx the whole shootin' match 'n guess the Pack 'n the Patriots for all the marbles. The Pack takes it. The Skin's offense is similar to the Packer's. The Skins ain't nearly as good at it as the Packers 'n they gave New England a fit. Hadn't ah been fer Moss bobblin' a pass it the end the game coulda gone inta o'ertime.
I rag on Rex but that pick wasn't on him that was all Moss. A lot of 'em weren't 'n a lot of 'em were flat dropped but it goes on his record. Moss done cost 'em 30 yards in unsportsman like conduct penalties in the past two games. I want 'im gone. He ain't that valuable no more.
Heck, the Eagles fans don't like the Eagles. Take a look it their board sometime. Iggle Phans er sumthin'. No language restrictions. It'll turn the air blue 'round yer computer.
-
A couple of sports writers are saying that as many as 25 players of the roster will not be back next year. That's almost half the team and maybe some of the coaching staff. They think that Ryan deserves another year.
-
Well, I guess that it is offical, Armirola will drive the 43 for RPM next year. No sponsor as of yet. It sounds like Ragan may still be looking for a ride in Cup for next year.
-
Rumor is Smithfield 'n the Air Force. Ain't heard how many fer each er if they'll be runnin' in white sometimes.
Like ta see the deal. Seems like better choices were available but he may've come cheap.
-
Daytona is a little over a month away, so I'm sure there will be much scrambling about to secure sponsorships of any sort.
-
The playoff games hav beeb for the most part. I was hoping the Bengals would win. Their QB played at TCU. The Saints made easy work of the Lions and the Giants made it look easy against the Falcons. MizLetty's Broncos are winning against the Steelers. I hope that continues. The Saints/Packers game next weekend should be good and I hope the Giants beat the 49ers. The Pats are still the team to beat in the AFC.
-
Tebow just CAN'T throw a pass.....
HHHEEEE HHHHhhheee hhheeee.......... HUH!
Brady's turn NEXT... with li'l Josh
-
Congrats to Miz Letty's Broncos and condolences to the Steelers. Tebow has been havin' some devine intervention lately. Keep it up Broncos.
-
I thought it was a great game, no joke implied but Tebow sure can throw a Hail Mary. He also knows how ta get rid a the ball afore he takes a sackin. This is commin from a long time Steelers fan.
-
The Broncos got the Steelers at a good time, they had several players injured and not playing. Big Ben was not a 100 percent either. The Pats are still the best of the AFC and the Packers and Saints are the NFC best.
-
Thanks TLD..We can only watch to see how the Broncos can keep their playin' alive. Got over one hurdle most said wasn't gunna happen... gotta be the whole team effort. And you are right there are many, many injuries :(
-
The Broncos will go as far asTebow's arm and legs will take them. They got a chance if they can get by the Pats. They just gotta be able to score more points than the Pats. The Pats defense has some holes and maybe Tebow can get through those holes.
-
Turnovers will bite 'ya every time.
-
It's hard to win a game if you have too many turnovers. Tonights college game may be won or lost on turnovers.
-
LSU could not do anything right last night. They did not show up ready to play last night and Alabama did. The Bama field goal kicker got a lots of experience last night. They will play again next year in conference play.
-
I've enjoyed watching the testing from Daytona today. It's to see race cars making laps on the track. The EFI systems don't seem to have slowed down the cars. I think the engines will run more efficiently. The systems may help with fuel mileage at some tracks but not at others.
-
Saints game just ended, that was entertainment. Sorry they lost but dang was it close an they didn't have one penalty during the game.
-
My Broncos got murdered..hat's off to the Pats for doin' their homework and figurin' out the the plays. Old rivalry and Brady didn't forget.
Lots to build on for next year. Tebowmaina will hafta wait for the fall ::)
Leo...I was rootin' for the 49er's.... there's the back up quarterback they drafted this year from here UNR Colin Kapernick who wowed us and has a ton of potential.
Look forward to the NFC's games tomorrow
-
New Orleans game was sumthin'. Five turnovers 'n they kept it that close – damn.
New England was kind 'nuff ta put an end to it before half time. Hit the rack.
Pullin' for Houston taday but pickin' Baltimore. The Pack over NY. Have I mentioned the Skins beat NY this season? Twice?
-
Arcey, You forgot to mention that the Gaints beat Dallas twice this year also.
-
Sher iz hell did. Old age. Whut I blame almost ever'thin' on ennyways.
Kinda funny. The two best NFC teams self-destructed o'er the weekend.
Thought Houston did good, considerin'. If they ain't got plans fer Yates next year I'd welcome 'im ta camp.
Pickin' New England 'n the other team whut plays where the Jets play fer next weekend.
-
I've never been a big 49er fan, so I'd really like to see the Gaints beat them. Eli has been playing good and I am sure the Giants will watch a lot film on the Saints/49er game. When you play the Pats, you need to keep Brady on the sidelines as much as possible.
-
Best thing ta do is kidnap Brady, Gronkowski 'n Welker 'n hold 'em 'til next Monday. Be easy with Gronkowski, just stick a porn star in front of 'im 'n he'll follow 'er ennywhere.
Seriously tho, been wonderin' what would happen ta that team if one the three can't play.
-
Welker is Brady's go to guy, Old Ochocinco is the forgotten man for the Pats.
-
Probably burns his butt, too, TLD. He's used to being a big show ::) :o :-\
-
That's why Cincy was bad, they had him and T O to deal with. "Too many Roosters in the Henhouse"!
-
Was readin' thru the possibles ready ta leave the farm system yestereve. Kinda wantin' a QB. Seein' werds on a 6' 8” kid. Gotta tattoo reads 'Live life to it's fullest'. Think it musta been 'im what shot the trolley cord it the range Thursday morn. No mention on the board of which institute of higher learnin' he played fer but I bet 'e's an honor student.
Note ta Shanahan – pass on that'n.
-
Looks like the Colt's are really cleaning house ::) :o
-
Unless Payton can play next year, 2012 will be like 2011, no matter what coach they hire.
-
Some of 'em er talkin' Peyton 'n Saturday goin' somewhere as a pair. Don't want two old guys.
Luck'll go ta the Colts, Cleveland gets Griffin. Ain't neither of 'em proven worth what it'd cost ta trade up for 'em.
I'd just as soon have Flynn, if he's have-able, 'n use the picks ta get a line ta cover 'im 'n maybe some taller receivers with later picks, trades or FAs. I want Moss gone.
-
Dallas needs to get rid of Romo and start over. I'm a big RG III fan and I know the Moose would be happy too. She's a BU Alum. I got her a Heisman T-shirt and a Alamo T-shirt for Christmas. Cleveland's Offensive line is terrible, that's why Colt McCoy wound up with a couple concusions.
-
The line's comin' 'round some. If they can keep Williams' head outta the bong that'd help. Need a center. I'd take either of the two top probables but I ain't willin' ta give up gettin' more younger players where they're needed. Flynn could start now. The offenses are close. I'd want Griffin totin' the clipboard for a season er two while the line gets better 'n let the opposition beat the hell outta Grossman. Make a settlement with Beck 'n send 'im away.
-
::) YYyeeAAHhhwwwNNnn! ::)
Thank The Lord that it's 35 days 'till the :
Daytona 500
-
I got a good Nascar fix when they had the EFI tests last week. The Chevys and Dodges seem to have more than the Fords. I am sure Jack Roush will remedy that problem. Jack is a master at working on carbs and using spark plug checks to set jets. He will master the EFI and get it competitave with the the other brands. It was nice to get a preview of the driver changes ion the off season.
-
3 more Sunday's 'till Daytona 500!
This Sunday I'm ROOT'n for Eli Manning but pick'n the Pat's
8) 8) 8) 8) 8)
-
I'm not a Pats fan, so I hope the Giants win. The best way to beat the Pats, is to keep Brady on the sidelines. The Pats secondary is their weak link. You need to keep Eli on the sidelines to beat the G-men. It could be high scoring game, possibly going into overtime.
-
I've a feeling that Brady will be on the sidelines a lot OK... right after they SCORE! ;) ;) ;)
The way those Patriots' Tight Ends add yards after catch will be some real field marching... ::) ::)
The Giants will have to slay these giants:::: Rob Gronkowski & Aaron Hernandez... :o :o :o... OH and then that all about himself "Spanish 85" ::)
Beat the Pat's by the Blitz!...... See Tommy Run and go BOOM!
-
Congrats to the Giants on their win and Congrats to ELI on being named MVP of the Game. His prize, A 2012 GranSport Corvette. They need to call Eli, "Mr. 4th Quarter".
-
2 more Sunday's 'till Daytona 500!
-
It will be here before you know it. Kasey Kayne had knee surgery last week to repair a torn minicus. He's young and his revcovery time will come. He gives new blood to the 5 team.
-
This year's Sprint Cup will be bery exciting with all th seat changes last year!
I'm pleased as pie that Reuty is gunna team up with Tommy Baldwin Racing and Dave Blaney saw'n on a Bow Tie wheel!
The Pritty Little Girl will be there too {Daytona} as some folks have their undies wadded up over it.... LOL
Still root'n for JR as always.... HHhhooo RRAAAHHhhh JR Nation!
Go 88
-
I would sorta like to see Junebug in the Winners Circle. The Dew Crew is long over Due. I look for the Dinger to be a Dark horse in the 22 car.

Nice Choice!
-
Penske won the 500 with Ryan Newman in the #12 Dodge. Penske would like to add a Nascar Championship to his resume. Bradley and the Dinger are two hungry young guns. They are the only 2 Dodges in competition. I'm not a big Dodge fan. I drove a lot of their police cars from the early 70s to the early 80s.
-
Knaus has been caught cheatin'. Again......................
-
Nascar needs to hire him as an inspector. He knows all the tricks in the book. I am sure Rick is putting the heat on HMS to win the Championship this year. I am sure that other folks in the Hendrick Organization knew about the modifications. They may have used the 48 as a guinea pig to test the inspectors, if it passed, then all 4 cars would have the mods to the pillars. Knaus is a "tricky" man that isn't happy not being in the Winner's Circle.
-
Yeah. I'd say Gary Nelson's second comin' but Nelson didn't get caught as often. But Nelson didn't have Harvick ta rat him out on the glass deal.
-
I don't think Harvick would have been a "rat" if his car was being "worked on" by his crew. No honor among thiieves!
-
The Harvick deal was a couple three years ago when Knaus got caught with the back window jacked up. The popular thought was Harvick caught it 'n squealed. How can one honor a thief?
Funniest one on RCR was when they faked a full fuel cell 'n after they finished qualifyin' the over-flow was still full.
That said, if ya ain't cheatin' ya ain't tryin'.
-
I'm watching the ARCA race this afternoon, Larry McReynolds son is leading the race in a Chevy. Larry is up in the pitbox. Half the field are rookies, the "Big One" is always looming.
-
Larry Mac's son ran out of gas on the last lap and didn't win the race. The folks watching the Bus shootout got their money's worth of watching wrecks and aggresive driving. A bunch of wrecked race cars, especially Wonder Wimp's. Somehow Kyle Busch managed to beat Tony at the finish line. Qualifying ifor the 500 is this afternoon.
-
Buncha demoralized HMS fanboys ponderin' their navels this mornin'.

It's JUST Super Speedway Race'n..... You can feel free to play with your belly button fuzz.
Daytona 500 Next Sunday!
.
-
It was hard to tell who the winners and losers were last night. I guess JGR won the battle, but lost the war. Two out of 3 cars destoryed. HMS, all four destroyed, and Roush lost one of their cars. Pack racing insures that the "Big One" is always there, just waiting to happen.
-
Daytna 500 is HERE......"Start Your Engines"
GO 88
Nationwide 2-Day
-
A bunch of tore up Trucks last night and a Rookie winds up winning. My buddy Ron Hornaday didn't seem to have enough speed in his new truck to be competative last night. He did manage to keep out of the wrecks. Better luck to him at Martinsville.
-
Damn. Patrick bent up her front wing. That's too bad.
-
That was a fun finish at the Nationwide today as the Busch boys finished like they ended last year..... LOL... lotta wings bent up..... ;) ;) ;) ;)
Tomorrow should be really FUN! Beer drink'n :o Bullet make'n :o N Super Speedway Race'n :o
Where wings get bent before they get broke'd... :D
GO 88
-
Race Day!
GO 88
-
I would like to see Junebug win this year, but don't rule out Stewart or Harvick. Engine temps will play a big part today in the draft. The big one will happen today, hopefully it won't take out the cars that are leading. The Fords have been running cooler and seem to have plenty of power.
-
Too much rain! Better luck tomorrow ::) :-\
-
I'll be able to watch the race tomorrow without having to watch the replay tomorrow night. One nice thing about being retired is that you have a lot of time on your hands. Victoria will prolly sleep through the race unless I holler about something and wake her up.
-
The way it's lookin' no one will be watchin' anything from Daytona anytime soon. Maybe this evenin' after din din. If it stops now it'll take 'em past predicted flag time to dry the thing 'n it ain't stopped yet.
I'm gettin' ready to get outta here. Gonna cancel the DVR 'fore I go.
-
Right now they are saying 6pm CST tonight. I am sure some folks had to leave yesterday to return home. I will reset my DVR for tonight.
-
Opps.............. Gordon broke his crank.....
-
And Montoya broke and hit a jet dryer :o
-
Messy race but I guess that is half the fun. Feel sorry for the proven racers that have bad stuff happen so early on.
-
The Race that lasted 2 Days! Congrats to Matt Kensett for winning and Junebug for finishing second.
-
Anyone was OK with me after I knew Montoya ‘n the jet dryer operator were alright. My respects to the safety/fire crew ‘n track workers.
-
They did a great job with a very tricky and messy problem ;)
-
Jet fuel is highly flammable and it burns fast and hot. The truck driver and Montoya could have been "crispy critters" without the work of the safety crews. The fabricators will be busy for a couple of weeks after the 500.
-
Big News today! Penske will switch back to Fords in 2013, leaving Robby Gordon as the lone Dodge driver. I haven't heard about the statis of the Dodge truck teams.
-
Chrysler bailed on factory support of the trucks a couple years ago. Those runnin’ the things are runnin’ scraps ‘n left overs.
Gordon runs what’s cheapest for ‘im. He was gettin’ his Chrysler stuff time ‘fore this from Evernham. That’s where the unapproved nose he got dinged for come from. He’ll probably try’n strike a deal for used stuff from Roush, Gibbs er the thief - if he keeps messin’ with it at all.
Be curious if there’s gonna be a connection twix Roush ‘n Penske or if Penske’s gonna be doin’ their own R&D.
-
That's a good question. I figger that at first they will rely on Roush-Yates, the R&D will come soon after. I think Penske made up his mind on Ford when he saw the 2013 Ford unveiled.
-
Thinkin' the new one's a right nice lookin' car myownself. Kinda wish they'd rename the thing ta "Galaxy."
-
Yessir, Them 63 and 64 Galaxies owned NASCAR till Chrysler came out with the Hemi.
-
406 or 427, TLD? ???
-
The 62 Fords had 406s. The 63 Fords started with 427s with 2 4s. Nascar made them use one 4 barrel rated at 410 hp. the drag race model with 2 4s was rated at 425 hp. The HP version of the 406 had 3 2 barrels and was rated at 405 Hp.
-
Ah, the loooong oval air cleaner ::)
-
Yep, Those long oval aircleaners are worth what ever folks wanna spend on them. Those factory tr-power 348s and the 409 2fours aircleaners are spensive too.
-
Congrats to Elliott Sadler for get'n that win less monkey off his back... :D
Tomorrow.... Race Day!
-
Elliott's first victory in NNS series since 1998. The RCR cars were the class vehicles of the race.
-
;D Race Day! ;D
Kinda a late start today but they WILL start :D :D
Good for the Ol' Guy on the pole, see what he can do in a Yota ???
Our local fella is in the third start position... WOW.... great qualify.... Go Get 'em Regan! ;) ;)
JR not so good but he ain't at the rear! :D :D :D :D
GO 88
Elliott Sadler's win catalysts the announcement he picked up 5 races with MWR and drive the No. 55 Toyota in five Sprint Cup races in 2012 beginning at Bristol in March.
Sadler will also drive the 55 in the other Bristol race- both Martinsville races-JULY race at New Hampshire Motor Speedway.
Elliott's back in the SHOW! 8) 8) 8)
-
Mark may be 53 years old, but he prolly the most physically fit driver in Nascar. He works out ever day and he can still drive a race car. MWR seems to be doing all the right things, with the hiring of MM and Clint Bowyer and the addition of Elliott Sadler. I look for the Roush Fords to be strong as well as Tony Stewart today.
-
I'm thinking it will be a Government Motor's day as much as I would like to see the Blue Ovals rock; however, time will tell and I'm banking on a great race today regardless. ;) ;)
GO 88
-
Hoping Allmendinger does well. He’s in decent equipment for the first time off a plate track. Needs to take advantage of it early while the Chrysler stuff is still fresh prior to the change over. I don’t look for Penski to make much noise after the halfway point.
-
I predict a lot of RF blow outs and some dented RF sheetmetal today. Phoenix is a track well suited to Stewart, he should do well today.
-
Wow..... Yota Day... been awhile for the 11 car..... Thought it was gunna be Have-a-wreck in the Gubbermint Motor Car 'bout ready to pounce on Hamlin for the finish line... still need gas for EFI ::) ::)
Don't know what happened to the local guy, he just drop'd off..... maybe fuel too.... ???
JR struggled all day.... tuff track for the 88... :-\ :-\
Jack Roush's "Diamond in the Desert” next weekend... 8) 8)
-
Congrats to Hamlin, a long dry spell. I think Tony might have won if he had not shut off his car to save fuel. It would not re fire. Harvick didn't have enough car left to win. A good third place for Biffle. Wonder wimp and 5 time finished in the top ten. On to Vegas, the Fords should be fast.
-
Have to disagree with ya TLD...... 29 car was ALL OVER the rear wing of the 11 car 'till the fuel cell emptied with two to go....
-
Harvick has learned to take of his equipment till the end of the race and is poised to take the lead near the end.
-
Too bad there aren’t more mile or less tracks on the schedule. Watchin’ the thing unfold was interestin’.
-
Sadler's deal with MWR looks to have gone away. I was wonderin' how GM 'n Childress were gonna square with him runnin' a Toyota against their stuff. Vickers maybe.
-
Vickers does have seat time in a Toyota when he drove for Red Bull. I'm surprised that he hasn't surfaced as of yet, driving for someone in Sprint Cup or Nationwide.
-
He was talkin' of a big deal in the works durin' Speed Weeks. Ain't heard nothin' out 'im since.......
-
Maybe the number of available rides weren't as numerous as I thought.

Saw an article on the trades in the paper ‘n I was gonna post it but it was a wire so I figgered ya saw it, Tex.
If they draft him they’ve got enough under the cap to get some quality FAs for the O line. I don’t wanna see a kid with potential get beat all ta hell. Worries me Snyder’ll bend to the pressure ‘n start him.
On ‘nother note, someone outta tell Roush that ain’t supposed ta be a Fusion…………………….

;D RACE DAY! ;D
Li'l Ricky wins the 'Vegas Nationwide but Elliott still leads the points and that suits me just fine... 8) 8)
HMS fellas are starting in the top of the top ten [ 'cept the 24 ??? ] so maybe JR will get one today stay'n up front and outta trouble... 8) 8) 8)
Our local "Mile High" team is back where JR usually starts, Reagan will change that very soon.... ;) ;)
Penski Dodges only ones in the race.... Robby got those cheap "seconds" parts again... :D :D
GO 88
-
Robby is still hooked on the off-road thing. It's goon be interedting to see whether he contunues with left over Chrysler parts or switches to Ford or Chevy. Several of the frontrunners are starting back up cars, so junebug has a good starting spot. I'd like to see him or Biffle win this weekend.
-
WOW!.... JR's led more laps today then all last YEAR! :o
GO 88
Is he gunna win today?? ?? ???
-
He's having trouble getting back to the front after his tire change. He does have a strong car. I hope he does win, it will do a lot for his confidence. I hope that Johnson has used up his car getting back to the lead and right now ,Tony is behind him, ready to pounce.
-
Congrats to Tony on his win at Vegas. He flat assed out run 5 time. I hate that Matt Kenseth got knocked out of a top 5 finish. Five time was almost in tears. I wanna send out a big wheel of cheese to Wonder Wimp to go with his whine.
-
The big Crew Chief controversy each got their "Wins" to go even.... Just gotta Love the "Smoke" :) :) :)
JR got his top 10 finish and if I'm not mistaken he's still in the top 5 in points.... Not Too Shabby! ;D ;D
Bad day for the Yota's... ::) ::)
"Thunder Valley" next weekend! Not as good as it once was but still just as good for what it is.... :-\ ??? :-\
-
"Beatin' and Bangin" at Bristol. It is never a dull race. Tempers will flair and folks will be spun out and wrecked. A lot of work for the fabricators next week.
-
;D Race Day @ Thunder Valley! ;D
HHHHHOOoooo RRRRaaaahhhhh TO Elliott Sadler for his second win beating out the "Cup'rs" and the Kids! Looks like he's on a mission early with 2 Wins & 2 third placers ... NOT gunna get snip'd this year by those Young Bloods.... :D :D :D
I'll be behind my man JR for the win today...... As Usual and NO Surprise here... ;) ;) ;)
GO 88
COOList head will prevail today and there is NO Cooler then the Rocket Man for the win... ;)
Rain STAY AWAY! ...Let The Carnage BEGIN!
-
WOW! Great day for MWR's Yota's... all in top 5 and NOT wrecked.. go figure ???
JR get a last minute speed'n penalty to ruin a great race day.... Oh REALLY? ::) :-\ :-\
Keselowski Starts his winning where he got his last.... 4 races 4 winners... ;)
Next weekend off to the PRC 'n Fontana Motor Speedway.... ::) ::) ::) :P
-
II mjissed out on the NASCAR and PBR this weekend due to the NCOWS Convention and March Madness. I've never been a Basketball fan. and I know I am in thwe minority. Moose is excited beacuse the Baylor teams are doing good. I'm going read up on the Racin' and Ridin" that I missed out on. I set out some WHine and Cheese for Wonder Wimp and 5 Time for the Fontana Race.
-
Jeffy sure W & C'd it after his tire got cut.... hit the wall... :D
Ol' Brian Vickers sure shined too in that Dbl Nickel.... maybe permanent next season.. ??? ???
-
He seems to be doing better with it than Mikie ::)
-
Had ta chuckle. The thief’s R&D driver ‘n souvenir salesman takin’ out one of his serious drivers.

Fontana is next. It is built on an old steelmill site, near the new San Bernadino County Jail. I was there once to pick up a prisoner, not too long after the track was finished.
-
Race Day!!!
The Yota's qualified pretty darn good 'n Sliced Bread win'n yesterday 'n start'n 8th today puts him in a favorable position ta win today!
Kasey Kahne in that 5 car has been shin'n pretty good to since he's at HMS he just needs to stay outta trouble.... Pretty good for a R&D car... That R.C. is soooo smart..LOL-ROF
Big track and I suspect that everyone will be run'n WOT and save'n fuel will be difficult without loose'n track position..fuel mileage will be the ticket today..... The Cat-n-Hat's FORDs usually, but first year of EFI.
Hermanator..... 7th Yesterday!.... COOL! 8) Just infront of the Toad! Sadler still on top w/points...
GO 88
Big Wet clouds off the coast.... Rain - Rain....STAY AWAY!
;D
-
Penske built that track and I am sure that he would be happy if #2 or #22 would win today. It's anybody's race today to win.
-
Look'n like Smoke is pi$$'n high on the tree panty wad'n Hamlin and Have-a-Wreck.... :D :D :D
-
AAHhhhh the RAIN!
Well Smoke wins it cheep but he was the fastest at the time... His Second WIN! 8) 8) 8)
JR gets 3rd! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
The 48 car lucks out.... Broken and would finished way back if the race picked up again... :-\
The BEST track next weekend....... The Paperclip! ;D ;D ;D ...... YES!
-
Congrats to Tony. A crying towel for Wonder Wimp. JJ must be livin' right. Good job and atta boy for Junebug.
-
;D Race Day on the Paperclip!... beau·coup FUN! ;D
Hendrick R&D car on the pole again.... ::) ::) ::) { That R.C.is sooooo Smart! } ::) ::) ::)
Waltrip is show'n his Yota's damn well since he's gotten the help from Ol' Joe.. Good on 'im and his drivers... ;)
Doesn't matter who starts where..... the fella who does the best job of keep'n sheet-metal off his tires will win... AS Usual>>>>

Martinsville has always been hard on brakes, so don't over use them and try to keep the engines from overheating.

Harvick won the truck race from the pole position in one of his old race team's trucks {maybe the one that Ron ran last year}..... Ron Hornaday STARTED 5th position, FINISHED 16th... ;)
-
The race has started and everyone is jockeying for a position. Wonder Wimp is running 3rd right now. I hope he finishes further back. HH is strong right now.
-
Hendrick rides are moving to the front.... Everyone is play'n nice right now.... that will change after a few hundred laps.... :D
-
Newman sneeked up and won one. TheDinger took second and Junebug won third. Wonder Wimp and 5 Time were the big losers today. Boyer did what he had to do win the race. Ruettamen was black flagged but he didn't get off the track.
-
Martinsville is ALWAYS a hoot!........ Reuty ripp'd a tooty that poopy'd on the 24 & 48 as the Rocket Man shoots through! followed by the 'Dinger and JR..... Other word for the UN-cryptic: an un-necessary caution set up the 24 &48 to get ram-rod'd by the rest of the field all who put on some fresh tires.....
That's Race'n!
Ya'll have a wonderful Easter Weekend as race'n starts up at Texas on the follow'n weekend
JR 2nd in points!..... NICE
-
It will be busy around Fort Worth during Race Week. I don't like crowds, so I'll sit on this side of town. When TMS first opened, I had a friend that had leased 2 of the skyboxes. He drown a couple years after the track opened. I always had access to the boxes as long as he was alive.
-
Good move. Close as I am ta Richmond I don't go. Too many freakin'............................. freaks.............
-
I didn't mind crowds when I was younger. My hips hurt all the time and it's hard to climb stairs anymore. The TV coverage is good and there are no lines at the fridge for drinks and snacks. It is what it is.

The folks with campers should be showing up at TMS about Tues or Wed for the Race next week end. The parties at the Stockyards will start about Thurs. night and run through Sat. night. Several nights of heavy drinking and stupidity ahead. I would not want to be on duty up there as a Cop. That's just another reason why I don't have to worry about drunks and their stupidity anymore.

Congrats. to Rickey Stenhouse Jr. on his Nationwide victory last night at TMS. It was the 4th win in a row at TMS by the Roush boys.

Race NIGHT!
Li'l Ricky ran away with it last night in the end for sure as the Pretty Li'l Race Girl did good too, hung tight in the 3 wide...... Tonight it's gunna be the 88.. :o :o :o :o
GO Jr
-
Well heck.... JR finished 10th brining up the Hendrick Motor Sport Teams tail end that ALL finished in the top 10!!! 8)
The Biff was really due with all those close finishes in the past few years... Finally crossed the line FIRST.... Like Li'l Ricky he just drove away at the end... ;)
Sprint 'n Trucks at Kansas next
-
We got the Trucks at Rockingham today. I'm glad to see races there again. It was an important track for NASCAR for many years.
-
WOW!..Kasey Kahne .
Come'n from the back to win Truck's Inaugural run at Rockingham.........COOL!
Sounds like whatever Kasey is run'n at the Rock ....... Bet on him.... :o
-
His Truck seems to running better than his HMS ride.
-
Gett'n ready for the truck qualifing.... with the eggs -n- ham.....
Strange Sprint Cup Quals for Kansas.... Guess the big guys forgot how to race there.... ???
Oh Wait!... that's order to qualify :-[
-
I am glad to see Ron Hornaday doing well today. He's already missed being in 2 big wrecks so far. He's up to 6th, trying to move up further. I got to meet Ron at TMS when he drove the #16 truck for DEI in 97. He came up to the skybox where I was at and he had a beer with us.
-
Nightshift sucks... Slept through:::::: :P :P
Race Day!
Sounds like a few valve trains let loose and the 11 / 56 Yota's was sweat'n to the finish as they drove away from the pack.... ???
JR keep'n those top 10's coming.... ;D ;D ;D
Night Race'n @ Richmond next Fri & Sat... 8)
-
Reckon there’s no honor amongst felons. Second race inna row Stewart’s been an also-ran after being competitive up to that point. The tax cheat’s gettin’ the stuff usually reserved for the Honda thief’s second string teams while he waits for that 200th win. Narrow the field a little. But heck, they’re both into bribery so they’ll work out somethin’.
-
Having a former GM executive as the arbitrator doesn't hurt either. I wish Jr and KK were away from that bunch of Crooks. HMS are the poster boys of NASCAR. The Nationwide and the Trucks are more competitive anyway.

Well, Draft Madness is upon us. Brownies did real good with their first pick, then created a firestorm on their second. looks like Colt's either going to be traded or sat down. fans are really scratching their heads on that one, what's needed are some tools to work with, regardless of who's slinging. Hope Arcey's going to be happy with RG III ::) :o
-
Hope they don't get 'im killed, Buck. It's great to pick up someone with that much potential but lookin' o'er who Allen's signed out the UFA pool I ain't seein' much in the way of OL acquisitions. Oh well. The front office is paid big bucks ta do that kinda stuff, I ain't.
Can't help but be excited as a fan tho. RG III, damn. That's sumthin'.
-
Browns third pick, an OT. fourth pick, a defensive lineman. Still no receivers :-\
-
Cleveland's 1st round pick went to Oklahoma State, where I went. He is 26 years old and was a pitcher in the Yankee's organization. He's bigger and stronger than Colt. Colt is more suited to a "Wildcat" type offense. Colt is a lot like Tebow. RGIII is another QB that is more suited to a "Wildcat" offense. He and the Women's basketball team have put Baylor on the map. My wife graduated from Baylor and she is really of the accomplishments of the Baylor athletic programs this year.
-
Don't much care how Griffin plays long's he puts points up.
Get's better'n last night's NNS race I wanna be here ta see it. Impressive run for Blaney's kid.
-
Last night's Nationwide finish was one of the best I seen in a long time.... Beat'n on it to the finish... ;D
Tonight will be JR"s! ;) ;) ;)
Go 88
Ride'n herd tonight, have ta get the skivvy tomorrow morning... :P :P :P
-
Brownies finally drafted a receiver, out of Miami of Fla. ::) :-\
-
'Skins took some new blood for the OL. Don't know any of 'em. Did read one of 'em by the name of Josh LeRibeus (SMU) supposed ta have a real nasty mean streak in 'im. I guess it's still acceptable ta knock the hell out a defender. 'Nother quarterback. Couple other late picks that don't seem too important but good ta have in camp.
-
Congrats gto the Busch Brothers forf their wins at Richmond. Arcey, I hope that RGIII puts some zip in the Skins offense. I saw where Dallas drafted a WR ou of VT, I don't remember his name. I was disappointed that only 2 TCU players were drafted, Buffalo drafted "Tank" Carder at LB and a WR was drafted by one of thee other teams. SMU had a pretty good team this past year. They signed the coach from Hawaii(June Jones) in 2010 and he made the3m a winner again. SMU hasn't had a good team since Eric Dickerson and Craig James played there.
-
Keepin' positive, Tex. He can' hurt nothin'. Lookin' forward ta seein' 'im on the field.
-
The kid's name from VT that Dallas drafted is Coale. I wish they had drafted some OL help. Most of their draft picks were defensive players. They drafted the kid from VT at WR and a TE from OU. They lost Bennett(TE) to the Giants in free agency.
-
The rag was followin' the VT drafts. They're kinda queer fer that school. Did an article on an eligible ODU kid (DL) but I ain't seen a followup. A VT corner showed up it the combine 'n flunked the drug test - brilliant.........
Ain't much bein' said 'bout it but I'm thinkin' one the best moves the 'Skins have made so far is gettin' rid of Laron Landry. Really liked his aggression but he missed tackles half the time 'n he's hurt 'n off the field way too much.
-
Dallas sadly lacks a pass rush and the secondary is as ragged as my undershorts. Hopefully the draft will make them more competetive in 2012. Romo needs to go elsewhere and the OL needs some replacements. I have become a Giants and Jets fan in the offseason.
-
I watched the last part of the ARCA race from Talledega last night. They had one BIG wreck near the end. It was neat to see Larry McReynolds son win his first race. Larry brought his son to Victory Lane at Talledega when he was only a year old, Davey Allison had won the race and Larry Mac was his crew chief. Larry's son was leading at Daytona this year when he ran out of gas near the end of the race.
-
Well, WhiteBread won the Nationwide race at Talledega tonight and Kyle Busch finished 2nd. More wrecks in store for tomorrow.
-
I hope the McClure kid is okay, after being cut out of his car. They flew him by helo to Birmingham to the hospital. Wonder Wimp done won hisself a pole for the race tomorrow. I hope that is all the luck he gets this weekend and that him and 5 time finish near the back of the field.
-
I guess I put the hoodoo on Wonder Wimp and 5 time for the race today. I really thought that Kensett and Biffle would be there for the win, instead, it's Keslowski and Kyle Busch that finish 1 and 2.
-
Happy to see that all the Gibber-Gabber is done on the Sports World version of the "Fairness Doctrine" is behind..... ::) ::) ::)
NNW:
Don't know who White Bread is but Sliced Bread is li'l Joey's nick name and in Super Speedway style he ditched the Toad to hang 'em out at the finish line to take the WIN!..... NICE
Had to laugh how Danica Patrick put it to Sam Hornish Jr at the end..... Flat Tire my Arse!!! Wonder what Uncle Mike had to say to the Pretty li'l Girl.... ???.... :D :D :D
Eric McClure is one tough fella.... God Bless safe walls 'n HANS!..... {In remembrance of Dale Sr. 'n Adam Petty}
Race Day!
The Toad couldn't or wouldn't get the Blue Deuce for a win ..... ain't that a shame... gotta hand it to 'em; two 2nds is GOOD! :-\
JR is still within a swat of them Roush Fenway Racing Boys.... GOOD Stuff! ;) ;) ;)
Lady in Black NEXT!..... Tempers 'n Stripes

Arcey, I heard over the weekend that Kurt Busch would be leaving James Finch at the end of this year and going to the Furniture Row team with Regan Smith as a 2 Car team next year.

R.C. is just soooooo smart that he'll know.... tooooo early for silly season i ;)
-
If yer local didn't pick up on it, Tex, this is the latest from the AP.
Shanahan says RGIII will be starter from Day One
Robert Griffin III already has the No. 1 quarterback job with the Washington Redskins.
Coach Mike Shanahan said Sunday that the Heisman Trophy winner from Baylor will work with the starters when the Redskins begin full offseason practices later this month.
Said Shanahan: "He's the starter. Period."
Griffin completed a three-day rookie camp Sunday, a little over a week after he was selected second overall by the Redskins in the NFL draft.
Griffin wore a No. 10 jersey with "Griffin III" on the back — plus gold shoes with burgundy laces.
-
Arcey, We had heard about him being named the starter and the possibility of Beck being released. We may have to be Skins fans on the down low. I haven't been a Cowboys fan since Jerry bought the Cowboys.

DANG TLD!!!!! that was a long long time ago..... Brings back some other memeries::::::: Don NcLean :'( :'( :'(
A long long time ago
I can still remember how
That music used to make me smile
And I knew if I had my chance
That I could make those people dance
And maybe they'd be happy for a while
But February made me shiver
With every paper I'd deliver
Bad news on the doorstep
I couldn't take one more step
I can't remember if I cried
When I read about his widowed bride
But something touched me deep inside
**The day the music died**...............OR....................... The Day Jerry bought the Dallas Cowboys!
So
[Chorus]
Bye, bye Miss American Pie......................OR.................. BYE Bye America's Team
Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry
Them good ole boys were drinking whiskey in Rye
Singin' this'll be the day that I die
This'll be the day that I die
Did you write the PLAYbook of Offence 'nlove
And do you have faith in God above
If the Bible tells you so?
Now do you believe in rock and roll?
Can music save your mortal soul?
And can you teach me how to dance real slow?
Well, I know Back in the DAYthat you're in love with himRoger
Cause I saw you dancin' in the gym
You both kicked off your shoes
Man, I dig those rhythm and blues
I was a lonely teenage broncin' buck
With a pink carnation and a pickup truck
But I knew I was out of luck
The day the music died
I started singin'
[Chorus]
Now, for ten years we've been on our own
And moss grows fat on a rolling stone
But, that's not how it used to be
When the jester sang for the king and queen
In a coat he borrowed from James Dean
And a voice that came from you and me
Oh and while the king Tom was looking down
The jester Jierry stole his thorny crown
The courtroom was adjourned
No verdict was returned
And while LeninJimmy read a Playbook on Marx
The quartet practiced in the park
And we sang dirges in the dark
The day the music died.................Jerry bought the Dallas Cowboys
We were singin'
[Chorus]
Helter skelter in a summer swelter
The birds flew off with a fallout shelter
Eight miles high and falling fast
It landed foul on the grass
The players tried for a forward pass
With the jesterJerry on the sidelines in THE a cast
Now the half-time air was sweet perfume
While sergeants played a marching tune
We all got up to dance
Oh, but we never got the chance
Cause the players tried to take the field
The marching band refused to yield
Do you recall what was revealed
The day the music died?...........Jerry bought the Cowboys
We started singin'
[Chorus]
Oh, and there we were all in one place
A generation lost in space
With no time left to start again
So come on Jack{Berry} be nimble, Jack{Berry} be quick
Jack {Berrry} Flash sat on a candlestick
Cause fire is the devil's only friend
And as I watched him on the stage
My hands were clenched in fists of rage
No angel born in Hell
Could break that Satan's spell
And as the flames climbed high into the night
To light the sacrificial rite
I saw Satan laughing with delight
The day the music died...................Jerry bought the Dallas Cowboys
He was singin'
[Chorus]
I met a girl who sang the blues
And I asked her for some happy news
But she just smiled and turned away
I went down to the sacred store
Where I'd heard the music years before
But the man there said the music wouldn't play
And in the streets the children screamed
The lovers cried, and the poets dreamed
But not a word was spoken
The church bells all were broken
And the three men I admire most-
the Father, Son, and the Holy Ghost-Tom / Jimmy / Berry
They caught the last train for the coast
The day the music died...................Jerry Bought the Cowboys
And they were singing
[Chorus:Repeat x2}
::) ::) ::) ::) ::)

This weekend is Darlington, Old School NASCAR at it's best. The track is too narrow and the cars are too fast, something's gotta give. I don't know if Danica is ready for the Darlington experience.

All the NASCAR announcers will spend all next week kissing the feet of HMS and 5 time. I'm glad that 200th win monkey has finally jumped off their back. There is the rest of the season and a Championship ahead. Maybe folks will shut up and concentrate on the big picture. The media is convinced that HMS is the only game in town and Wonder Wimp and 5 time are the only 2 drivers worth mentioning.

Gotta go do my own go straight turn left now and there is nothing fast about it.... ;D ... So I'll be missing out on the race.... :P
Look'n for JR to make it in on his driving merits;..... ;) ;) ;)
GO 88
Will see the Nationwide tomorrow as Elliott Sadler is on the pole..the Pretty li'l Girl in 9th.... will be fun and that li'l Deuce is on his come back after the last race.... ;)
-
Dang Good On JR for dominating the Showdown..... WOW!.... then the 'Dinger do'n it too with a flat in the Pole Position..... Bet the Showdown was really exciting to see...
Congrats on the 48 win'n and all the HMS cars did great in the All-Star Race........
...... ::) Let the oral flatulence commence ::).....
Charlotte will be exciting next weekend... ;)
GO 88
Looks like li'l Ricky owns the Iowa track.....Cream'd 'em again...... Sadler's Deuce is just 28 points behind li'l Ricky with plenty of races left.... ;)......... Pretty li'l Girl should'a just lived with the brake chatter.... better then cook'n tire-beads.. :o
-
A bunch of folks had trouble with the RFs due to the cords wearing through and the beads on the wheels. Stenhouse gained more points between him and Sadler. They had a great crowd for a Sunday afternoon race. Iowa is big time open wheel country. It was good to see the folks fill up the grandstands to watch the Nationwide cars. A truck race would do well there as well.
-
..............Stenhouse gained more points between him and Sadler........
That would be TWO points TLD, 1 for position & 1 for most laps....
Darlington was the BIG points for li'l Ricky over Elliott when Sliced Bread nerfed the Deuce 'n wrecked 'em....... :-\ :-\ ,,,,One early DNF for that number 6 Ford and Sadler's back depending on the Deuce's finish then.....Lot of races yet... 8) 8) 8) 8)
{{{For Mr. SSSoooo Smart..... nerfed::: is ol' skool term for::::: hit - smacked - whacked - belted - clobbered......}}} ::)

Nerf as in Nerf bars which are small bars at the front and rear of old school sprint cars and old school hot rods. The nerf bars on sprint cars were used by the wreckers and pit vehicles that push started the sprint cars. The sprint cars have an in-out box instead of a transmission. The nerf bars could be used to move another car out of the way or spin them out. We had nerf bars on our sprint car in the early 50's that we ran at the old Amarillo Speedbowl. It was painted yellow with red trim with a 53 Merc flathead race engine, #99. I wish had some of the pictures that they took of it over the years.

The Purdy Li'l Girls is going for both the Nationwide and the Sprint Cup... Busy weekend for her... 8) 8) 8)

Congrats. to my fellow Scotsman, Dario Francitti (husband of Ashley Judd) on winning his 3rd Indy 500 win. He joins fellow 3-time winners: Louis Meyer, Wilbur Shaw, Maury Rose, Johnny Rutherford(Fort Worth, Texas), Bobby Unser, Helio Castroneves. Only 3 drivers have won Indy 4-times: A J Foyt(Houston, Texas), Al Unser Sr., and Rick Mears. The Coca Cola 600 is under way, the first pit stops are being done.

Sand Man got me at 'round last 20 laps.... :P :P :P :D
Victory Lane on in a couple hours and get the "finer details".....
Kasey Kahne!!! COOL.... that's gotta put a hurt on JR...
JR drops one position to 18 points behind Da-Biff..... :-\ still in the top five.... ;)
Pritty Li'l Girl finished 30th five laps down..... kept the fenders relatively clean bar'n the meeting with the wall I seen once... NICE!
8) ..Tripple Head'r @ The Monster Mile next weekend! .. 8)

KK got a large monkey off his back last night by winning the 600. Junebug needs to win soon as well. I don't think that Biffle left anything on the table, he drove the wheels off his car. He had the best car through most of the race, the last 100 miles did him in. I hate that the dynamic duo(5-time and wonder wimp) finished in the top 10.
-
......I hate that the dynamic duo(5-time and wonder wimp) finished in the top 10.

Yeti that 3 in a row she's been able to finish. She's drinking milk and just think in a few years what could happen.
I got to watch the Indy but had to go to work before the CocaCola 600 ran. Streaming on the internet it just wasn'rt cutting it.
-

Gotta a warm fuzzy feel'n up 'n down my leg that the Pritty Li'l Girl will get a Nationwide win before JR wins anything Dang It!!
Then again that feel'n might just be my Sciatica warm'n up again.... :D
-
I am afraid that Junebug may be feeling more pressure to win since KK won last night. I just hope he's not trying too hard. There have been a lot of expectations for him at HMS that have not come to pass. I hope that 900 pound gorilla on his back will jump off soon.

Earnhardt ‘n Patrick er doin’ just fine. They’re there ta sell souvenirs ‘n they’re doin’ that well.
“No one in this world has ever lost money by underestimating the intelligence of the great masses of the plain people. Nor has anyone ever lost public office thereby.” – HL Mencken.
Kahne was brought in for Gordon’s declinin’ performance. Couple years down the road Kahne ‘n Johnson’ll be the two competitive drivers for the pack of thieves. Gordon’ll be the next Martin ‘n the 25’ll be what it has been since Tim Richmond got out – an R&D car.
-
This weekend is Dover, a concrete track, hard on tires. I'm hoping the racing will be competitive. The trucks will be there sa well. In my opinion, the Trucks are more competitive than the Cup or Nationwide. I enjoy watching them better than the other two series.

That's 8 am & 2:30 pm Mountain

In my 40 years as a LEO, I seldom got to watch the races live, because I worked evenings and on the weekends. If not for a VCR, I would have missed alot pf them, I have a tape cabinet in my office at home that has every race that I taped from 1980 through 2003. I earned these days and weekends off.
-
See the truck race this evenin' 'n the cup race Sunday live.
Fistful of us'll be DVRin' the NNS run while we're shootin' tamarrah. Keep a CD in the stereo so I don't trip o'er the news on the way home 'n stay off certain web sites when I get here. Race'll be good as new.
-
My main complaint with the DVR is the fact that I can't save everything like with a VCR. I've got the Truck Series race set to record tonight, as well as the rest of the races during the weekend.
-
HMS Show'n Pretty Dang GOOD at the Monster Mile! :D :D :D :D :D
HHHHheeee hhheeee heee
Elliott is back on top in the Nationwide....COOL!
Pocono "Tricky Triangle" next..... 8)
-
Stenhouse needs to bounce back strong if he plans on retaking the lead in NNS. Sadler wants that NNS championship and he's got good equipment. A NNS championship for him will get a gorilla off his back as well. He dropped down to NNS to be more competitive. Let's hope this pays off for him.

;D RACE DAY! ;D
JR has a good qualify....... Maybe TODAY is THE day on the new black top....... 8)

I see that Kurt Busch's mouth got 'em off the track....... again...... :D :D :D,,,,,, GO Reuty... 8)
Ron Hornaday still in top 10 points... tough break for him this season, at least he has a ride...... WOW! for Johnny Sauter,,, ;)
-
We had the Truck race on Friday night and IRL on Sat. night at TMS. We stayed away from Fort Worth for the weekend. We have our Highland Games in Arlington. It was too hot for the kilts this weekend. SLiced Bread had the best car all week. MMs car was better on short runs, but Lagano got the better restart. He is driving for his job at JGR, this win may help him keep it. I think that the Dinger may be unemployed at the end of the year. Kurt seems to have worn out his welcome at Phoenix Racing. He will have trouble getting a decent ride.
-
It's difficult to have sympathy for someone employed by a thief. But damned if the guy driving the renumbered 25 isn't in sad shape for a race car driver. Couldn't talk. Couldn't get his thoughts together. Stress coupled with poor physical conditioning. Johnson, Kenseth, Logano, Martin and, to a degree, Stewart all looked, spoke and acted as if they could get right back in their cars and run another hundred miles.
'Can we start again?' Geezzz that's sad.
-
Arcey, KK is a little too young to have a Senior Moment, maybe the heat and humidity of Pa got to him.

ONE simple man's opinion..... a poor one of the same ol' BS at that.... sound'n like a broken record ::) ::) ::) ::) ::)
JR finished as he started and moved up a stand'n spot with the Biff's fall down.... 8)
Sliced Bread has had a couple really good weeks and if JGR replaces this fine outstanding driver it would serve them right to put on the Toad's brother..... Then the 11 car would be the only ride worth a pile of road-apples there... :D :D
Michigan Motor Speedway next weekend..... JR's Track ???
-
Missed his interview, Tex.
Ya know the 4th string thief's car ain't never gone this long without winnin' before?
-
Michigan has always been partial to FORDS, since it was built. Penske originally built MIS and its sister track, Texas World Speedway, near Texas A&M. I attended several races down there. It was in the NASCAR circuit until the track maintence quit and NASCAR took it off the schedule. The Championship is up for grabs this year.
-
Last eleven twix Fontana 'n Michigan been won by Chevrolets 'n Toyotas. Thought Penske'd won one with the Chryslers but it was just a couple poles. Fords won a couple too in Michigan.
Roush is a tick off. They've been with the FR9s long 'nuff they should have 'em figgered out. Looks like, as with certain drivers, it's hype 'n no substance. Last win by Kenseth at Fontana was with the previous generation motor.
-
The FORDs ruled Michigan is the late 80s when Bill Elliott was still driving the 9. The EFI setup has effected the Fords, I think Jack will get it figgered out.
-
Qualifying Day @ Michigan!
Another track with fresh black top........ 8) 8) ..... Fast Qualifying! .... NICE!
Nationwide race latter on..... Pretty Li'l Girl gunna win one?
Got my own straight 'n turn left all night this evening.... missing most of today's festivities... :-\ :-\

Roo, In this hot weather, a bikini would be easy on the eyes.
-
LOL....... Marketing!!!!
To get Li'l Roo there faster and swoon 'em to buy for all the deceased relatives back through the Civil War.... ;D
-
It looks like Wonder Wimp has inherited the 900 pound gorilla from Junebug. I hope He's feeling the pressure of being the only driver at HMS that hasn't won this year.

I dunnanana know TLD...... The 24 car won THREE just last year.......... maybe a Monkey relative to "900 lb Gorilla" that was ONE as smartly observed by Li'l Roo as the last "leap year"...... :-\ :-\ :-\ :-\
Jeffey will win this year as will JR again.... Hendrick Motor Sports is strong on all teams this year,,,, some more consistent then others of this year's HMS organization...
Wait'n for Mr. SSSssoooo Smart to start make'n excuses for his beloved Joe Gibbs gang...... the fuel injection with corn gas was a good starter on the Ford teams........ :D :D :D :D :D

Lagano found how fast he could go from the penthouse to the outhouse.

I understand NASCAR has opted to replace this weeks race with Root Canal. Felt the fans would enjoy it more, and some may still even benefit from it.

OH that HURTS Li'l Roo,,,,,, LOL ;D
Road Course Race'n isn't my favorite but it's different for this body style and has it's moments.... Lasts as long as a Root Canal.. :o
Nationwide is qualify'n in Cheese Land now and I'm think'n the Pretty Li'l Girl will do great today and win one for Roo ta make up for the 88 souvenirs she wink'd into buy'n..... :D................. See if she can run this ride like the Wing Cars....
Hendrick Motor Sports qualified well for tomorrow's Sanoma race....The Tasmanian Devil Racer fellar just out ran the 24 car for a pole and the 48 car in the third slot..... 8)................ The 5 & 88 outside the top 10 but inside the 20... 8) 8) 8)

Heck, Roo dude. The NWS might come thru for the talkin' heads hypin' for the dumbed down. The 'ringers' ain't got much competition.
Worth watchin'? Prolly not.

I am ready for some Truck racing, a lot more interesting than Sonoma. The Nationwide and Trucks are more competative. I don't like to watch Wonder Wimp and 5-time be the only winners in the Nextel Series each week.

Worth watchin'? Prolly not.
Prolly not even set up the DVR in my case.
-
I didn’t set the DVR either.
Watched the start ‘n then up ta when Andy Petree explained to the dumb masses stock cars have a tendency to lock up the rear wheels when the brakes are hit. It causes the rear wheels to hop, and that’s called ‘wheel hop.’
Looked towards the end ‘n Rusty Wallace was bad mouthin’ some frenchman.
Oh well. Gotta few potentially good races comin' up July 'n August.
-
I haven't ever been a big fan of the road races. Those big ole stock cars are made to run in a circle and turn left. The rpms are running high, I predict some valve train breakage today and maybe some brake and axle problems as well.
-
It's a somewhat local track taday, they had a parade with all the cars through Sac the other day. They's puttin a lot a stock in Jr, we'll have ta see.
-
Suspect we’ll see some drive train issues as well. Always do. Missed gears hurt motors.
Just seems to me if they’re gonna put ‘em on tracks not designed for cars that big ‘n heavy there should be a few drag strips on the circuit too. Hell, that’d be fun ‘n nowhere near as borin’.
The thing in Canada’s asphalt was chunkin’ under the weight. Another bad feature were blind turns. The heavy patches are visible the blind turns are still there. Jeff Burton was quite critical of the place before NASCAR shut ‘im up.
It’s all to open markets, same as New Hampshire ‘n Pocono. Not for interestin’ racin’. There are some real nice, state of the art drag strips near you, Leo.
I don't pick winners or losers. Too many factors involved 'n anything can happen. But makin' a wild guess, I'd say you can pretty much forget the renumbered 25 today.
-
Ta tell the truth I'm watchin a 9 ball turnament right now. Gotta say it's entertainin me jus' fine.
-
Got some .38 stuff loaded. Havin’ a bite er six before the flag. Pre-race hype is on TNT. Ain’t nothin’ on the radio at the moment. Got Restaurant Impossible, the Food Network, runnin’.
Finish up the cartridges ‘n listen to the parade by radio a l’il later. After the loadin's done I’ll create the most amazin’ salads.

All night runs... Thur - Fri - Sat.... ;)

It were a good run ta the last lap.
-
Congrats to Clint on his first win this year and his first win with MWR. Tony and Kurt made the race for second real interesting for the last couple of laps. The standings chsnged a little, Biffle is in second,behind Kenseth. Carl is having the season this year that Biffle has had for a couple of years. He may be left out of the Chase this year if his luck doesn't get better.

5 Hour Energy has to be happy with the result after wastin’ time 'n money on that cat Rusty Wallace ‘n his way cool hot rods. Not ta mention Tieyoter.

Arcey, It sounds like this Hurd character was looking for an easy paycheck. Griffin's parents are retired Army NCO's and he seems to be a good student and a good kid. I hope the dirt that Hurd has isn't true or of little consecquence.
-
I'm with ya on #10.
Other news, Kenseth is bailin' on Rousch. So that part of the recent rumor(s) er true. Let's see if he winds up it JGR next season 'n in what car the way the other rumor(s) are goin'.....
-
JGR may be expanding to 4 cars next year or maybe that Joey will be replaced. The money offered must have been too much to turn down. Stenhouse to drive #17 next year. What about #6 next year? Sponsor? Driver? The plot thickens.
-
Morning drive DJ reported the trouble in the Rousch Camp...Does this mean Joe Gibbs is getting a new team member?
Rusty Wallace was bad-mouth'n a Canadian
I knew there was a reason I liked Rusty Wallace.
-
I just can't see JGR expanding to 4 cars. Lagano has been on the hot seat as of late and Kyle hasn't been doing very well, especially on the radio. Matt is a good guy and a great driver. It would not surprise me if Kyle got his walking papers instead of sliced bread.
-
I only got to watch the last few laps of the Truck race. Buscher seemed to be the best truck, he is leading the championship and is the only driver with 2 wins.
-
Thought Peters was leadin'................

;D RACE DAY! ;D
3 car back in the Winner's Circle!
Good Nationwide DOMINATED by the grandson with some 193 of 200 laps led---Top 10 on lead lap 'n rest 2 min laps back..
WOW!
I think the 2 & 30 cars were 1 lap down at the Checkers but final score'n has 'em finish on the lead lap.... guess they did cross the line first....
NO Sliced Bread run'n..... ??? ??? ??? AAAHHhhh OOOOOooooo.......
GO 88
48 car on the pole.... :D :D :D :D :D
run'n my own laps tonight,,, catch the replay tomorrow....
-
The storm that blew through area, dropped the track temps almost 50 degrees and made for some quals for the second half of cars. I felt sorry for the crew guys having to work in that heat. A lot of water and fluids were consumed. It will be hot again today. I'm hoping that 5 time and Wonder Wimp don't do real good tonight.
-
Heard the talkin’ heads sayin’ 60 mph gusts. Checked the NWS site. The highest they recorded was 36 mph. I’ll bet the folks there were tickled with the truth on the temperature drop tho.
Gotta have the hype, exaggeration ‘n gimmicks I reckon. The target demographic ‘n all.
-
Hehehehehehehehe........
Got the tournament from Congressional on. The talkin' heads were accurate discussin' the gusts that tore the place up overnight - to began with. The recorded 70 mph gusts were initially reported that way. In a half hour span they went from 70 to 75 'n the last mention was 80.
They've banned spectators for safety concerns. The players have to be thrilled with that. I've been addin' to the realism fer the fat lady. Yellin', 'Get in the hole!' on every shot
-
Arcey, You might have a new career as a golf announcer, if you can whisper whilest the golfers are putting. Brad K didn't have much competition last night. Maybe they otta stick with Dodge next year.

Looks like the Blue Deuce is lead'n the pack iwith Three wins that count..... ;)
My last year's Dark Horse is on the rear further into the Chase Top 10........ 8) 8) 8) 8)

Dayton once again next week for the Cars ..... Iowa for Trucks
GO 88
-
The Trucks fun fast at Iowa. Daytona is always like walking through a minefield, you never know when and where the "Big One" will happen.
-
Looks like the Blue Deuce is lead'n the pack iwith Three wins that count..... ;)
Looks like Ol' Joe wants to try to keep Sliced Bread........ maybe..... ???

Rumor is it's a done deal.
Yellin', 'Get in the hole!' on every shot

Roo, The rumors are flying. They called it "Silly Season". It seems to start sooner every year.

Bruton Smith wants cautions to bunch ‘em up. Guess he’s missed the phantom debris flags NASCAR’s been throwin’ the last several years. Usually depends on who just went a lap down. The ones Stewart whines about when they get him ‘n keeps his mouth shut when they go his way.
Yanno………. France should get up with Sprint ‘n set it up sos the fan boys could text - to an expensive number – when they want a caution. Split the profits.
-
Arcey, Money always keeps the wheels greased. Ol' Bruton needs some more money, he's almost in the Poor House.

I do believe ya are correct, sir.
-
I figger that it is only a matter of time before Bruton builds a Drag Strip at Texas Motor Speedway to go along with the dirt track that he build a couple of years ago. If that does happen, Texas Motorplex will just be another drag strip. When Bruton builds something, he goes first-class.
-
That was right much fun but I was hopin’ for a first time winner. Hated to see the girl get taken out. Still a decent finish for her.

Last nights show was pretty good with a steam engine win'n.... :D
Tonight will be the same as I'm guess'n it.... Survive the wrecks in good shape and Ye Wins!
GO 88
Gotta run my own laps again tonight.....
-
I wonder how fast Kurt's Chevy would have been if it hadn't got wrecked. That tape must be NASCAR certified. Stenhouse played it cool and finished second, too bad Dillion didn't. He's wrecking cars like his Daddy, hopefully the apple don't fall too far from the tree.
-
Heh, heh, heh..................
10° cooler there'n here. Shoulda gone...........................
-
No sympathy for Allmendinger if the second sample's dirty.
-
Yep, The drug test issue don't help his chances of staying with Penske for the rest of the year and 2013. You wonder sometimes what these kids are thinking about and how easy it is to go from the penthouse to the outhouse.
-
I missed the race last night. I understand there was more carnage in the pit than on the track? ??? ::) :o
-
Them what likes bent up sheet metal had ta wait awhile but they sure got it.................
Dunno, Tex. He has ta know he needs Penske 'n Pennzoil a hell of a lot more'n Penske 'n Pennzoil needs him. They were convertin' the car fer Hornish 'fore NASCAR finished kickin' 'im off the property.

I did some research and came upon a story about a DUI he received in 2009. I've never had to take a drug test or done any sort of illegal drugs. I guess that I am from a different generation. I know friends that smoked marijuana in the 60s, but I was never into that. I would not like to submit to a random test, but would. I would be afraid to eat anything that had poppy seeds because I heard that you would test positive for opiats.
-
My number come up twice in the randoms. Tested twice when I went back doin' the background investigations. It's no big deal 'n the degradin' horror stories ya hear 'bout I've never seen. Just that while yer werkin' ya gotta take the time ta get in the car 'n go ta the lab when ya coulda been doin' police werk.
While I was there we only got two outta roughly eight hunnert folks. Weed use ain't nearly as prevalent as NORML makes it out ta be. Never seen one test positive for opiates for any reason.

May be a differt generation but I'm with ya. I got questioned at a test once cause they said it was too clean. When ya work diggin ditches in the dead of a hot summer ya drink alot a water. It was a pain that ended with some guy in a lab coat orderin another sample an watchin me, he thought the first one was water. Saw me do it the second time and guess what...it were the same.
-
Rolled outta the cave to check out the race results..... Stewart-Haas Racing..... First and Fifth....... nice :)
It wasn't too good for HMS as the wrecks seem to take their toll on allot of folks.... 5 car top 10,,,,,, 24 & 88 on lead lap... ;D
88 still second in points; however that 17 is still pull'n away strong.... "So why are ya leave'n me?" asks Jack... ???
Dunnnoooo if NASCAR walks up ta ya and says "Drop - N - Give",,,,, been give'n it up a few time a year for years being in the transportation business, there is always some time give'n before the give'n.....
Tip'n back Longnecks too late on a school night.... NOT too smart; however, take some time ta give it up....
Drug'n...... Enjoy werk'n at "Down the Road Motors" with my boot in yur arse.... Pass'n the bowl with Jeremy.. :-\
Back to regular race times... New Hampshire for cars and Iowa for trucks
-
It will be great to see the Trucks next weekend at Iowa. They always draw a good crowd, no matter what series is ruuning at the track.
-
Looks like Mr. Hornish Jr. is gunna run the dbl-deuce again this come'n....
Really?
Some abysmal cretin's are actually suggesting "Halftime Shows" in NASCAR!
??? :P ???
A real issue here for Mr. SSSSssssooooo Smart Popinjay to go off on some insufferable tirades..... Good Grief... :-\ :-\ :-\
GO 88
-
They've got plenty of half-time shows in the infield and lots of wardrobe issues. These shows are non-stop all weekend.

Side Shows in the RV lot stay in the RV lot with nothing to do with race'n but stupid people being stupid---Get that any where any time-----as I've experienced.... the "Infield" is Garages, Cars, Crews, and folks with kids all behave'n themselves.....
This is: 100 laps done....... "Mini Concert"....... Finish the last 100 laps..... REDICULOUS!

The Pits is Pits and the Infield is the place where folks is where folks get crazy.

Hornish will be subbing for the Dinger again this week. Hornish deserves a shot at the 22 ride on a full-time basis. Hopefully the sample B test results should be made available before Friday.

Wunner what this ole gal was smokin', snortin' 'n/or rubbin' on 'er belly ta kill 'er sense of smell. My guess is the euphoric joy of free money. Prolly a HMS fan.

18 months? Mebbe she was a taxedermist.
-
If the ole fart died in the winter ‘n she was smart ‘nuff ta kill the heat it would have helped a l’il with the stink. He’d croaked in July the neighbors would have been complainin’. She didn’t have to touch up the 88 she shaved in ‘is back hair so she didn’t need ta move ‘im. Coulda been shackin’ with some other guy ‘n just runnin’ by ta pick up the mail ‘n the SSI check fer awhile. Move back in the spring ‘n air things out.
-
did he still have his 88 jammies on when they found him?
-
We had a sweet old lady out here some years ago that took in boarders on SSI an they ended up burried in her back yard. They all signed off fer her ta cash the checks. Guess there is nothing new under the sun.
Been looking at the 8th round drafts and it looks like the Patriots an Giants got some strong players. Could be an innerestin season.
-
did he still have his 88 jammies on when they found him?
Had their 88 series of collectable KFC buckets on the mantle.
We didn't handle 'em the Feds did but it ain't unusual. Bar hog moves in with an older fella. Joint checkin' account. If he ain't got no kin 'round ta stop the checks she'll keep cashin' 'em 'til she gets caught. Even seen 'em do tax returns 'n death certificates filed with the state ain't checked on.....
Yer tax dollars at werk.

Arcey, I haven't heard the term, "Bar Hog" since I worked the streets in "wet" areas.

Been awhile fer me too.

;D ;D RACE DAY! ;D ;D
OH MY how the mice play when I'm away..... :D :D :D
Regarding the above "Sporting News" article.... :D :D :D...... ANYONE outside the Kool Aid [Pungo Swamp Water] Server's Realm knows that the person who would desecrate the deceased body of an outstanding member of the JR Nation is undoubtedly a Joe Gibbs Racing Fan in particular a cheerleader for the TOAD in the 18 car...... ::) ::) ::) ::)
All HMS cars start in first 10 positions..... ;) ;) ;)
GO 88
Good to see Ron Hornaday making it back to the top of the trucks again.... still top 10 in points and maybe back to championship in another year or two with good sponsership....
Sadler still on top in Nationwide...... YES.... ;)

Those R&D cars are really show'n the silly folk up..... :o :o ::) ...... guess they're not share'n anymore.... :-\ :-\
JR still second in points and a bit closer....
GO 88
Sprint Cars next weekend off to play at the Brickyard the following...... Nationwide and Trucks off to the People's Republic of Illinois in Joliet this come'n weekend..... 8)
;)
-
Chalk up another win for KK in the #5. Hamlin drove the wheels off the #11 today, Good runs for Bowyer and BRADSKI. The twins finished outside the top 5. A good day for HMS.
-
I apologze that I accidently omitted that fact that Junebug finished 4th yesterday.
-
Griffin 'n the front office have settled. He's signed 'n due to report today.
-
Guess page 88 of this thread has run it's course.
Cup standings er innerstin, not many surprises but a few in there.
-
Arcey, I don't think that the big money and brights will affect him or his personalty. My wife and I will be pseudo Red Skins fans as long as he plays for them. Leo, There are still a few races left before the "Chase" starts. There will some folks that drop out and some that get in. I don't think that Cousin Carl will make it this year.
-
8) Race Day! 8)
No JR today: however, the 88 is start'n 8th and the Pretty Li'l Girl is in the 13th position....
Li'l Ricky is on the pole how long he can stay there..... Elliott Sadler is my guy in Nationwide, love it when Herman gets to run toooooo..... ;D
James Buescher is sure smok'n them trucks with three wins... Hornaday took 7th and is likewise in points... 8)
GO 2
-
It looks like Stenhouse and Hornish are the two best cars right now. Sadler seems to be struggling, I know that he's had the flu for a few days and is still sick.
-
pit stops shortly...... how's it gunna shake out ??? ??? ???
-
Congrats to Eliott Sadler on winning at Chicago and winning an extra 100 grand. Stenhouse used up his car trying to get back to first place, He had the dominant car for most of the race, but had to settle for second place. Algier won 3rd and the Hermanator won fourth.
-
My son come over an saw the trucks fer the first time. He's hooked now, didn't even know it existed. Felt like we should have a ceramony er somethin.
-
Leo, The Trucks are my favorite NASCAR series, then Nationwide, and the Nextel last. The Truck races are shorter and the time goes faster. The Trucks and Nationwide are training series for Nextel.
-
I am sorry to hear that the Dinger is suspended indefinitely. He has tested positive for speed. I don't understand why it has taken almost a month to get the results. I hope he will learn from this and is able to resume his NASCAR career at some point.
-
I wouldn't want to share a track with him. People on that stuff do erratic things as I'm sure you've seen durring yer career.
-
At least he was going fast in his on mind...
what too soon?
-
Yep, Leo. That stuff ruins your skin, teeth, and hair. It messes up your heart beat as well. You get old before you are supposed.
-
I had high hopes for the boy. Oh well.
If I were in Penske 'n Shell's position I'd be lookin' for a driver. There's a lot of potential drivin' 'round in circles in lessor equipment right now.
-
Oh my...................... Petree spoke in actual, technical terms related to steering. The fanboys won't understand - they wanna know why the rims turn. Wonder what he was thinkin'...
-
Arcey, Rims is Rims. It is what it is! Rubbin' is Racin"
-
Brought back a memory I had forgot. Was in a place with a friend shoppin fer wheels. Looked through the catalog an he says, "Those are some expensive tires". Then he asked the guy at the counter if they had a catalog fer rims. Hadn't thought a that in 20 odd years.
-
Congrats to Bk on his Nationwide win at Indy. I think that NASCAR "screwed" Sadler on the restart. The replay shows that the 3 car pushed him ahead. NASCAR made the wrong decision.
-
It is what it is. That's racin'.
If anyone should be runnin' off with the equipment, support 'n experience it's Sadler. He's holdin' on by a point. Unimpressive.
Ty Dillon did a hell of a job. Impressive.
-
I don't know where the Dillion boys got their training. The only thing their daddy did was to marry RC's daughter and wreck a lot of cars.
-

Mebbe it's that old sayin about skippin a generation.
-
Leo, That might explain it.
-
Whatever. The offspring look to have sumthin' daddy didn't. Could be from momma 'n Childress. Naw, Childress weren't real good either. The CRC Chemicals car looked real nice though.
I'll give Dillon credit for admittin' he didn't have the talent to compete with top drivers. I'll give 'im credit for admittin' a couple hard hits affected 'is nerve too.
Wallace said ya take them hits o'er 'n o'er 'n they kinda keep ya from drivin' it in quite as deep as ya used to. Ya don't take the chances. Kinda wonder if that has anything to do with Gordon o'er the last couple years cuz the boy's been smacked 'round pretty good. When he hit Hornish a couple years ago in Watkins Glen I felt it.
'Course, in the case of Wallace, it affected his brain. No doubt of that when yer unfortunate 'nuff not ta be able ta hit the mute button in time to avoid hearin' 'im talk.
-
He had some fast HOTRODS!
-
Yup. 'N them cats buildin' 'em was way cool.
-
Cool factor can't be overlooked.
-
Wish it was cool here......................
'This track's so big they need multiple spotters..........................'
Translation: The track has so much stuff in the infield one can only see a small portion of the racing surface.
The track is the same length as Daytona and smaller than Talladega.
Thank you, talkin' heads.
-
Yep.... it sure is::
;D RACE DAY! ;D
With Out A Doubt Sadler got HOSED by NASCAR.... They don't "black Flag" anyone pass'n below the yellow line if they was forced down there at the tracks that have the rule..... Supose he should'a checked up an wrecked the front field....
??? ??? ??? ??? ???
GO 88
-
I was sorry to hear that 5 time won and WW finished 5th. I was glad to see Junebug finish 4th and take over the points lead.
-
Awww, heck. That's racin' too.
Been readin' ticket sales were slow. The place didn't look half full.
-
Our economy effects ticket sales directly. It's easier to watch on TV, a lot cooler inside, and the grub is cheaper.
-
That's been my argument goin' back to beginnin' of the slump. Cost a pile this day 'n time 'n folks ain't got the disposable income.
The others, I'm thinkin', do make valid points on the quality of the racin', the rips for concession foods as well as the general costs - gas, lodgin' 'n such.
-
Just like the other three major sports, too expensive for the little guy anymore ::) :-\
-
Takin' a break from dinner prep........
Can't find many rooms close to Bristol. Motel 6 did list their rates although they have no rooms available. One night, two folks for Friday, $224.99 for the motel 4 miles away. The one in Johnson City, 20 miles out, $149.99. I reckon tax is an add on ya ain't seein'. That's the way they do things it the ocean front.
The weekend before, no activities, $64.99 'n $54.99 respectively. In my never humble opinion, that's a rip.
Cheapest ticket I see is $114.00 for the cup race. Pit pass, $2,178.00. Each.
Mebbe just a bad attitude on my part, but I can buy a lot of gun stuff for those kinda numbers 'n watch on TV.
NASCAR said they were gonna meet with the motel folks to try'n do something about it. Ain't all their fault but the bottom line in the checkbook or credit card balance is the same.............................
Back ta werk.
-
Ma wife was gonna surprise me with tickets fer an event an when she looked em up she tolt me, "Sorry at least ya can listen ta the record right here at home." Jus sayin it goes beyond sports inta all kinds a entertainment. Bristol woulda been fun fer ya.
-
I've been to TMS, TWS, and Indy. I live close to TMS, so no motel needed. The costs were less back then and I could go to INDY. I had free tickets to the race, but responsible for the trip up there and all other expenses. Texas World Speedway was the cheapest. We drove there and back, the tickets weren't too expensive, and the motels were reasonably priced. I had free tickets to TMS as long as my friend was alive, that stopped when he drowned. You can really see more of the racing when you watch it on TV.
-
Apart from Richmond we’ve always stayed somewhere.
It’d be ‘bout $130.00 in gas for the station wagon here ta Bristol ‘n back.
Fast food holes were usually the same price as off weekends – if ya could get in. Nicer restaurants run their prices up for higher profits ‘n ta keep the dregs out. Hit those when the fat lady went. Any fast food hole we could get inta when it was just the guys.
Gettin’ the first VCR broke me from goin’. I’d tape it ‘n watch it when I got back home. Saw stuff I missed watchin’ it live.
-
ARCEY, The VCR was a great invention. I've got a bunch of old races, 20 years ago, stored in a box in the garage. I don't own a VCR anymore. I do my taping on my Satellite Dish recorder now.
-
Seen on my home page that Penske and Dinger have parted ways. hornisch has the ride for a while ::)
-
Seen on my home page that Penske and Dinger have parted ways. hornisch has the ride for a while ::)
It's offical then? It is no surprise
-
The Dinger only had a one year deal with Penske, with a possible extension, based on his performance this year. The team had enough bad press and Penske knew it was time to move on. I don't think that Hornish is a long-term fix. After news release happens on where Kenseth goes, the chess game will begin.
-
When the B sample came back positive it was only a matter of time for the press release saying everyone had done a terrific job ‘n couldn’t be happier with the way things were goin’, but…………………………………………..
Bring the werd file up ‘n change the dates ‘n names. I kept a disk in my brief case when I was werkin’, all formatted for the department’s letter head with the same generic one paragraph resignation letter on it.
Hornish been with Penske forever. If nothin’ else they know each other well. All Penske has to do is convince Shell he can be competitive in cup cars. Popular opinion is he’s as good as he’s ever gonna be.
Heard reported Allmendinger ‘n Speed been feudin’ since they was kids in go carts. The former can complete rehab ‘n go after the latter's start-‘n-park rides next year. Either will be pumped ‘n very excited ta be drivin’ Pluto Racin’s Ford, sponsored Fred’s Lawn Service.

They won't let me bring my wrecker to the tracks to help with the towing. My wrecker is a 38 Ford 2dr Sedan with the back end cutoff with a hand crank winch. Folks with those factory built wreckers just make fun of me. That was my Dad's first wrecker when he opened his garage and wrecker service in 46.

I quit watchin' when Wonder Wimp started leading the race and the rain was coming.
-
Race called, WW winner ::)
-
That's racin', too. Didn't expect Johnson to foul up like that tho.
Couple more snoozers to go before we see what the 'new' Bristol looks like.
-
Yep! Lots of Beatin', Bangin', Bumpin', a bunch of bent up race cars, and a lot of peeved drivers and crews. That's Bristol on a Sat. night. I lot work for the fabricators come Monday morning.
-
Race on Sunday, body work on Monday ::)
-
The fabricators are busy all the time, either repairing the wrecked cars and building new ones to replace the one's that are too damaged to rebuild.
-
Back in the time of the dinosaurs, we’d go to Martinsville in the fall. The last short track race for the season. The cars had already been there once. They’d been to N. Wilkesboro, Richmond, Nashville, Riverside ‘n Bristol twice.
There wasn’t a straight hunk of sheet metal or bumper on ‘em. Bondo, patches ‘n plugs on parade.
-
A head's up here. AP flash on my home page, Dodge is pulling out of NASCAR. Announcement is supposed to happen this afternoon ::) :o
-
Guess that's racin' too. Damn. I hope there's a minimal impact on jobs.
-
That will affect the Truck series, Nationwide, Nextel, and ARCA. The new 2013 model will not appear. I wonder if this will affect Andretti's involvment in NASCAR next year. It had been rumored that they would field Dodges in 2013.
-
Chrysler dropped support to the truck series when Evernham ran outta money he was wastin’ on Erin ‘The Real Deal’ Crocker. At least as a driver. He had other jobs for ‘er.
Kligerman is still in the Penske development system ‘n drivin’ the surrogates’ stuff when assigned. The other couple three still usin’ ‘em are runnin’ leftovers.
Saw an article a few weeks ago sayin’ Andretti was stayin’ out of it for now. A matter of money.
-
Well I guess leftovers is better than none at all. I guess that Andretti could buy into one of the existing organizations. Marco doesn't want anything to do with driving in NASCAR.
-
I don't keep up with the series. Was he talkin' 'bout puttin' his kid in a stock car?
-
Maybe for a while, but Marco wants to stay in Indy Car or Open wheel racing. His grand dad was able to adapt to driving stock cars in the 60s and 70s and do pretty good at it.
-
Won one in Daytona. Over 14 races - average start 15.2, average finish 19.9………
Halftime. 7-3 'Skins. Griffin was in for just the first couple possessions. Didn’t show much, didn’t have to. Looks like he’s been there before. Funny ta see a Redskins QB actually able to see o’er the OL. Bottom line – I’m happy.
-
Let's hope the OL can keep him healthy this year.

;D RACE DAY!!! ;D
As far as road courses go the Glenn, IMHO, is the best one that Sprint runs..... Look'n for the 88 to finish in the top 10. :-\. :-\.. :-\
NO gearbox issues today please...

Dang it all ta heck that a late spinout on the 88 allowed the 17 car to jump back in front of JR..... so did the 16 and the 48 on TOP! 8) 8) 8)
Few more races 'til the chase.... ;)
Back to Michigan for Sprint and Trucks...... Nationwide gets to road race again.... 8)
-
Congrats to Mr. AMbrose on his win at the Glen. I hated to see 5-time climb to the points lead. I hope that only lasts for a week. I'm looking forward to the Nationwide and Trucks. It was nice to see Carl win the Nationwide race. Michigan was a Ford track for years, especially Bill Elliott.

I'm sorta glad that most of those folks stay on the west coast, too liberal for my point of view.

We're pretty conservative in my neck a the woods. Had ma fill of hippies but there are still places on ma side of the boarder where it aint a concern, ya just gotta know where ta find em.

Leo, I was refering to the Hollywood liberals, not Calfornina in general. I'm sorta partial to the folks around Bakersfield and Fresno. A lot of their ancestors came from Texas and Oklahoma during the "Dust Bowl".

A Texas woman, at the risk of becoming the butt of jokes across the country, is suing the Dallas Cowboys and owner Jerry Jones over an incident at a scrimmage in 2010.
Jennelle Carrillo of Cleburne, Texas, says in the lawsuit that she received third-degree burns on her buttocks when she sat on a black marble bench outside Cowboys Stadium that "was uncovered and exposed to the extremely hot August sun."
Her attorney, Michael Wash, told CBS Dallas / Fort Worth that Carrillo "was hospitalized for about a week." She's asking for damages as would be determined by a jury. The Cowboys had no comment on the pending litigation, the TV station said.
-
Somethin burns my a** just bout everyday, didn't know I could sue folks for it.

Cali. is a beautiful state 'jus too dang many folks fer me. Left alot of friends an' family behind...wouldn't go back to live for a Million $$
Speakin' o' backsides....local Sparks/Reno man attends a movie last week-end packin' his CCW. Adjusts his seat an' his pistola falls out AD's & guess where his catches a bullet ::)
Can we say embarassed to say the least?? He does apologize to his fellow patrons, bafore seekin' to get his lead out...
Tried linkin' the story but they took it down already....
-
Miz Letty, That reminds me of a funny story. I had been an officer for about 5 years. We had an officer that had a old worn out holster that he carried his duty weapon in. It sorta curved under his butt. He was carrying a 45 auto. He hung the holster on the seat belt. The pistol discharged and the bullet creased his right butt cheek. The bullet went through the seat, the floorboard, and it ended up in the asphalt in the parking lot. The Chief have him a day off and made buy a new holster and he was not allowed to carry a semi-auto as his duty weapon.
-
Oh man...back to a wheelie..(nuthin' wrong with those)......just the embarrassment the rest of his squad gave 'im
AD's do happen just when 'ya least expect it...
-
He didn't stay with the department too long after the incident. It gave new meaning to "having your pride bruised".
-
Interesting distraction...... Thought I was read'n the Tea & Crumpets Thread w/o weather report.... ::)
Weekend off and it's gunna be all 'bout race'n!!!! NO NIGHT SHIFT....yes ;D ;D
Look'n like Michigan is a different track this weekend for all... KICK'd JR's buttt... >:(
Just finished watch'n the Trucks Qualify.... Track record broke 9 times..... WOW that's summm'n.... Be start'n up here shortly after Sprint final practice...... Then the Nationwide Canadian Road Race.... 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8)
Wheel Guns ROCK... Ruger Super REDHAWK 454 Casullllllll.... ;D
-
The Frenchman won the truck race. Danica was able to lead some laps at Montreal but she lost some laps for repairs. She is now 22nd.
-
Piquet is Brazilian.
Had the road thing on in the barn's radio when Patrick was leadin'. One of the slams on her from other drivers was she blocked, against the big go kart rules, 'n the IRL wouldn't enforce it on her. A radio announcer made the observation she was holding the others up when Villeneuve, canadian, was tryin' to get around her. Kinda fits.
Allgaier, American, did good. Don't know what the canadian was upset over after the race. Hell, he ran over somebody to get in front 'n he's upset Allgaier bumped him a l'il? I saw those parts.
That's racin', Jocko.......

Well I'll be drug by my heels all the way down the steps to hell that I could not have said it all better my own self.... nice job Mr. SSSOOooooo Smart......... How can it be blocking when the race line is pretty well set in stone with the "rights & lefts" .... silly pass'n at the wrong spots results in wrecks.....
Ol' Ron Hornaday still in the top 10 of trucks and Elliott Sadler is still on top of Nationwide...
Tomorrow is Race Day and JR runs it from the back in an untried back-up car..... HUGE job ahead for the 88.....
GO 88
-
Halftime 20-10 them. Six ‘Skins points onna 91 yard punt return by Banks.
Griffin was in for a half. Looked confused in the 1st quarter. Lost a fumble. Settled down in the 2nd. Ran 14 yards for a 1st down. Finished at 5/8 for 49. Rushed 3 for 17.
Lost three defensive starters for the game. Don’t know their status.
-
Peyton Manning look'd like a bust or was it rust here in Denver town..... just one fella's opinion... :-\
;D ;D RACE DAY! ;D ;D
I just love it when Mark Martin starts on the pole..... no matter what he'd runn'n... Ol' Guys RULE! ;D ;D
Looks like the Cuz might be back on his game.... maybe.... look'n to see him with the checkers 2-day... 8)
JR in the back with a "Ballpark" steed isn't too far from where he qualified... yeaterday's wreck wasn't that much of a kick in the pants... Sometimes a backup ride is better then the first pick.... ??? ??? ??? ???
GO 88
;)
-
Arcey, Griffin is a threat to run or pass. He can carry the team on his back, he carried Baylor on his back all year. We've got stuff to do today, so the Michigan race will get TI-Vod.
-
Let me be the first to send out 2 big hunks of cheese to 5-time and WW to go with their whine.

You're very kind TLD to the 24 & 48 as I would think that you would send them Velveeta cheese FOOD instead of the real thing....LOL
48's motor going again gives the win to Da Biff!!!! not the Blue Deuce....
Big Time WOW for JR and the 88 team..... rear to forth as--well as 3rd in points at 22 behind Da Biff..... :o :o :o :o :o
The 5 & 48 teams are still in there as it doesn't look too good for the 24...... ;D ;D ;D
Night Race'n at Bristol for ALL next weekend.....kinda.....Wed - Fri - Sat.....
-
They got 3 more races before the Chase. Cousin Carl is on the outside, looking in. It doesn't look good for him to make the Chase. The 16 team has been under the radar all year. I would like to see Biff win the Nextel Cup. He would be the first driver to win all 3 Championships. I use my Velveeta for something useful, ROTEL DIP.

Runn'n right now start'n off with a nice wreck.......then the Craftsman Trucks NEXT! ;D ;D ;D ;D
-
That was about a schoolin'.............
-
I slept through the Modified race and the Truck race. I woke up in time to see the 17 truck in the Winners Circle. Them engines put me to sleep.
-
Lead flag ta flag.............
-
What'cha think of RG III, Arcey? Living up to the hype, or is he going to have a learning curve? We're going to see how Weeden stands up to the Iggles rush on FRiday. Might be some problems as the O line isn't totally firmed up( as usual, ends up getting the QB banged up early in the season with diminishing returns) ::) :-\
-
Weeden is sorta old for a rookie, he spent time in the Yankee organization as a pitcher. He decided to go back to school(Oklahoma State) Go Pokes! Griffin went to Baylor, where my wife went to College. He carried that team on his back all year. He is a threat to run or pass.
-
He ain’t playin’ for Baylor anymore. This is for real.
He played the first half, Buck. Finished at 5/8 for 49 passing. Rushed 3 for 17. Lost a fumble. Skins had 10 in the half. A field goal, a 91 yard punt return by Banks ‘n an extra point.
He’s lookin’ at a learnin’ curve. Keepin’ the faith. I believe he’ll get it. They’ll do better Saturday.
-
He will do okay in the pros. I wish that Dallas had traded up and took him. Romo will never get it done.
-
Anyone care ta place bets on how long it’s gonna take Patrick to get lapped on green runs? Winner gets tickets for a Craftsman truck race. What say?
-
She's dead last on the field for the Cup race. I think she is intiminated by Bristol.
-
Pretty Li'l Girl dunn dang good a Bristol..... 8)
9th of 16 on lead lap as lotsa folks got there butt passed on green flag runn'n............. Rain wash's out qualify'n so field set by practice speeds..... show up with a crappy set-up you are NOT gunna practice very well...... Slowest car in practice but guaranteed a spot and that would be dead last..... ;) ;) ;)
I REALLY do NOT believe Ms Patrick be Intimidated by ANYTHING or ANYONE!
Looks like Elliott 'n Lil Ricky are gunna trun up the gas a few kahhhnotches...... Sadler will show 'em what "That's Race'n" means... :D :D :D
Sliced Bread sure needed a WIN and a few more to hook up a Race'n future.... :-\ :-\ :-\
RACE DAY!!!!!!
GO 88
-
Lagono seems to be more competitive in the Nationwide series than Cup. Maybe he needs to move there permanent if he loses his Cup ride to Kenseth.
-
Griffin went 11/17, 74 yards, 1 TD ‘n no interceptions. Three of the incompletions were bombs – includin’ the very first play – that didn’t connect. TD was luck, a perfect pass to Moss ‘n he actually held on to it. #10 left in the 3rd.
Skins won first team to first team. Griffin wasn’t spectacular. He took the field, ran the offense ‘n put points on the board. Looked good. Real steady. No foul ups. All I can ask for. If I can get eight like that when the season starts I’ll be thrilled.
-
The answer was 24. Double er nothin' fer some Nextel tickets?
-
Hamlin wins. Guess he'll get one dem Bristol alarm clocks.............
-
Ol Tony lost his cool with Kenseth and chunked his helmet at Kenseth's car. I wonder how much NASCAR will fine him for his temper tantrum. I hated to see 5-time and WW finish in the top 5/
-
Pickin' up the first down........................
(http://media.hamptonroads.com/cache/files/images/911331000.jpg)
-
He's making us Texans proud to be doing so good.
-
If it keeps up, I think maybe Weeden is going to be watching Colt for a few games. At least until that mess of an O line gets him hurt. I was right, they couldn't handle the Pack's rush ::) :-\
-
What’s still on my mind with Griffin, the line. Colts don’t have the defense the Bears have. Shanahan sez he ain’t playin’ him against Tampa. Next time he takes the field will be for keeps against the Saints.
Ain’t sayin’ they’ll beat the Saints but with all the suspensions 'n fines o'er the bounty thing they got hit with ‘n moral down I think the ‘Skins have a shot at it.
-
They gotta chance against the Saints. The Texans played better than the Saints. I think that all the off the field problems have destracted the Saints.
-
Wonderin' if New Orleans is gonna be there come the 9th..................
-
Maybe?
-
Witness………………
Harvick is akin to O’Bama. Failure is never his fault.

I went over to the AirShow yesterday. It was HOT. I stayed in the hangar till about 1300 and came home. We had a little excitement, a pilot "nosed in" a L-5 at the end of the runway. The pilot was okay, but the plane was bent. Lots of repairs ahead to make on it before it flies again.
-
;D RACE DAY!!!!! ;D
BOY HOWDEY did ol' Have-a-wreck cry like a li'l girl 'bout get'n dbl-team'd an' finish'n 3rd...... LOL...ROF.... :D :D
Wonder what he said to the TOAD on his way to blame George W. Bush for his loss? ??? ??? ???
Sadler still in front but li'l Ricky is chip'n away..... Pretty Li'l Girl just-a-saw'n on that stirr'nwheel all dang night...... :P :P :P
Maybe she'll do better in the cup car 2-night..... Start'n in-front of JR....... ;)
Think'n the tires will out-last the corn gasssss up on the top grove where JR in the past likes to run....... 8) 8) 8)
Dang if Ol' Mark Martin isn't show'n welll again.... Ol' Guys Rock..... :o :o :o
Toooo bad he'll not get the opportunity ta win a pole in the Mopar..... :'( :'( :'( :'(
GO 88

Congrats to Hamlin on his win last night. More "Rat" cheese to 5-time and ww. Stick a fork in Cousin Carl. No Prisoners taken at Richmond.

Did they throw a ServiceMaster Clean, the official janitors of NASCAR, caution?
-
Nope, McMurray blew up. not too long after Carl did. unless he pulls a rabbit out of his hat, I believe Carl's gonna miss the chase this year ::)
-
Well Heck if JR didn't just pull out a top 10 finish after being a lap down a good part of the race!!!!! 8) 8) 8)
48 car shot his own dang foot and the 24 car got the first loser position which ain't too bad of a deal.... ;D
Sounds like Smoke lost another Depot sponsor as well as the Army..... :'(
Kenseth makes his move official tomorrow...... :-X
As pointed out Richmond next weekend for the cars and trucks play in Iowa the weekend after..... ;)
-
I'm thinkin' that maybe his helmet throwing helped Office Depot to make up it's mind to pull out.
-
Taking Kenseth and releasing Logano isn’t a bad move. Hornish knows where he stands within the Penske organization now.
Hope J.D. knows something I don’t about Sadler – if it happens. Conflicting statements between he and Childress. I wouldn’t hire him to drive my shop’s parts truck.
-
Pretty obvious that it's all about the Grand-Boys.......
Gotta have a shop FIRST ta have a Parts Truck....... ::)
I have absolutely NO DOUBT that J. D. knows a boat load more then Mr. SSSOOOooooo Smart... ::)
Hope J.D. knows something I dont about Sadler if it happens. Conflicting statements between he and Childress. I wouldnt hire him to drive my shops parts truck.
-
Lagano has been more competitive in Nationwide than Nextel. I think they put him in the 20 car a couple of years too soon. Penske will be getting some raw talent. He needs to be with an experienced crew chief to bring him along. Hornish always seems to the odd man out. Good luck to him in finding a full-time Nextel ride.
-
Well, I see Mr.Model has passed away. Not much sympathy here in N.E.Ohio. the drum beat for HOF induction has cranked up again, if he does finally get it, the family may not want to show up as the reception might be somewhat hostile. Browns fans have extremely long memory's. Not only did he take our team, he's subjected us to 17 years of terrible football ::) :-\

Hornish ain't gonna get a Nextel ride. Not a chance.
Buck, dunno that either of us'll live to see Modell in the hall. Maybe fifteen or twenty years from now.

NICE!

Well, the NFL has asked the teams to have a momenmt of silence at the games this weekend for Modell. Might not be such a good idea in Cleveland ::) :o

I know ya aint all college ball fans but Notre Dame vs Purdue should be a good one.

;D RACE DAY!!! ;D
Sadler really screwed the pooh last night race'n Li'l Ricky in a car that wasn't ready to do so but still in the lead by a point... ::) ::)
Happy Have-a-wreck breaks the streeeeeek....good on him.. ;)
Let's see if the rain stays away....... :( :( :( :( ..... JR needs a WIN as well as a few others.... :D
GO 88
-
Go Boilermakers! It was good to see Junebug knock Wonder Wimp off the pole for Richmond. They may have to race tomorrow, it's raining in Richmond. I wish we could get a bunch of that rain.
-
Browns will NOT be doing anything tomorrow per request of the Modell family. Smart move, it may have gotten ugly. VERY,VERY ugly :o ::)
-
WHAT in the Wide-Wide of Sports IS a Cleveland Browns ANYWAYS?? ??? ??? ??? ???
Why would anyone care?....... REALLY...... ::) ::) ::) Giving the Modell's credence.... ::) he's DEAD!
Looks like they might get the race going yet!.......... Service Master is on the job..... :D :D :D :D :D
I know ya aint all college ball fans but Notre Dame vs Purdue should be a good one.
Looks like the Catholic boys squeeked one in the battle of the gold helmets... ;)

Team was named after Coach Paul Brown, Yeti. At one point they had a stylized brownie logo. Standing with a football under one arm. It has been seen as of late, might be making a comeback. If they start winning regularly, it might make a comeback ::)

I have a strange vested innerest in the team, my dad was head coach at Notre Dame. Sure, it were Notre Dame High School but as a kid I didn't know the difference. I learned when he moved up to UC Davis.

Gotta Notre Dame school (K thru 9) here in Denver-Town too..... had the SAME notions also when I was a puppy..... LOL
-
Yeti, Took some doing, but I at least found a representation of it. Guy was doing a rehash of teams logos incorporating Peyton Manning's face into them. Once you hit the site, scroll down about 3/4 of the way and it'll be there marked old Browns logo ::)

Buck,
This what ya talk'n 'bout?
(http://i736.photobucket.com/albums/xx10/yeti76620/ClevelandBrownsLogoOLD.jpg)
I always thought a "brownie" was somet'n chocolate ya ate or an ol' Kodak camera.........
The only thing I really know 'bout the "Browns" was where an ol' Denver Bronco named Lyle Alzado was sent to..... He pounded irons at the same gym I worked out at when I was a kid ........he came over and "spot'd" me on the free-bar squat area a few times with some "pointers"...... know nutt'n 'bout the juice'n...... but we sat 'n pushed up the same 350# bar together.....Think he was be'n polite to me..... ;)
-
Alzado was well loved in the Cleveland area at one time, had a joint venture with some resturanteers, "Alzado's place". He would hang there once a month or so, He left the area and the place folded.
-
The pilot, lower case intended, ain’t showin’ a lot of respect for the Browns………..
Philadelphia (0-0) at Cleveland (0-0), 1 p.m.
The line *Philaelphia by 8½
Outlook The Eagles finished 2011 strong, and if Michael Vick can stay healthy – and that’s a big if – they will challenge for the NFC East. Brandon Weeden and Trent Richardson debut for Cleveland.
The pick Michael Vick and LeSean McCoy face a Browns defense that was 30th against the run in 2011. Eagles 30, Browns 13
*The spelling is theirs, not mine.
-
If the O line can't defend against that wide nine defense like they didn't in the pre-season game, it's gonna be a long rough day for Weeden. rookie QB, rookie RB, unsettled O-line= eagle win I'm afraid. Hopefully they'll at least score some points to make it more of a game than a blow out ::) :-\
-
IIRC, he was there during the Bernie years. Kosar is still well liked in Cleveland in spite of his not being very mobile. Like so many of the recent QB's there, he was a victim of a bad O-Line towards the end. Couch is another good example of that, sacked right out of the league in a few years ::)
-
I got ta where I pay more attention ta the defense over the last few years. Seems ta be that's the whole game lately.
-
48 - 88 - 5 - 24 looks like ALL HMS in the Chase! 8) 8) 8)
To the TOAD: Don't go away mad ....JUST GO AWAY...snivel'n punk..... ::) ......Edges by the 24 :D :D :D
Donkcos tonight..... battle of Ol' Arms...... how does that Age 'n Treachery thing work on eachother in football?
-
Well there seems ta be a lack a youth and skill so it's anyones guess.
-
Well, the rookie showed he was................a rookie :-\ Defence almost pulled it off, but in the end were just worn down.Score 17-16, another game and they might rethink the QB situation. offense just plain sucked :-\
-
Over on the eagle board the school yarders were talkin' a blow out before the game, Buck. Good fight.
One in the left column. Can't remember the last time the Skins scored forty points.
-
Was always curious how ya come ta be a skins fan Arcey. None my bidness just doin ma wonderin thing.
The Pack aint lookin too swell on offence.
-
Home team.
Hail.......
-
I sure don't want to go to work and hear all about it.
-
I sure don't want to go to work and hear all about it.
Job hazard.
-
yep alll week at least till they loose one.
-
Arcey, My wife actually watched the entire Redskins game. I hope this is first on many wins for the Skins this year.
-
Thanks for the support, Tex. They played a good game. Thinkin' when the Saints scored Grossman would have paniced 'n lost the game late. Griffin didn't.
They'll drop some, Roo. All I want is seven more. Two against Jones' team would be nice.
-
Arcey, The secondary needs work, but they seem to have a fair pass rush. That's something that Dallas doesn't have, their secondary might be better this year. I think they will go 8-8, just like last year. They need to get rid of Jones and Romo.
-
They need to get rid of Jones and Romo.
Heh, heh, heh.............Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee, yeah!
-
Griffin said he was never a Cowboy fan even though he lived in Texas. Arcey, Do you mind, if the Moose and I root for the Skins this year.
-
Be my guest, please. Hail!
-
Arcey, I am anxious to see how RG III does against the Eagles and Giants this year. The Skins might just win the NFC East.
-
Tryin’ hard not ta get ahead of next week, Tex. Don’t wanna lose to the Rams. Gettin’ a feelin’ of cautious confidence tho.
Hail.
-
I don't think that the Rams will be much of a problem.
-
Hope not. Last thing I wanna see for the team is Griffin stuck on a loser as Bradford’s been. Shame.
-
Here ya go, Tex. Do the Griffin.
(http://media.hamptonroads.com/cache/files/images/925681.jpg)
Robert Griffin III has started a new craze.
It's the 2012 answer to "Tebowing." The "Griffining" pose was born during the rookie's first NFL touchdown pass in the Washington Redskins' 40-32 win over the New Orleans Saints on Sunday.
Griffin was hit while throwing the ball, then sat up and raised his arms when he saw Pierre Garcon make the catch and scamper for an 88-yard score.
Now many people are copying the pose. An Internet search of the word "Griffining" late Wednesday produced more than 300,000 images.
Says Griffin: "Who would have thought getting knocked on your butt and throwing a touchdown would start a phenomenon like that? But it is what it is. And 'Griffining,' 'RG3ing,' whatever they want to call it, I'm not opposed to it. But it's pretty funny to me."
Griffin's performance has made believers out of Redskin Nation. That includes NASCAR driver Dale Earnhardt Jr., who when asked this week said, “I think they can go 10-6. I feel very comfortable with that. Very comfortable. I think they can win [the NFC East]. I think it’s there for the taking.”
-
The Pack sure looked better last night than on Sunday. Clay Matthews is a keeper.
Slim
-
Mathews is a beast........................
-
He looks like he eats a lot of raw meat.
-
His Dad was a heck of a linebacker for the Brown ::)s
-
The Browns and the Cowboys had a rivalrvy in the 60s, when Frank Ryan was QB, Jim Brown was RB, and Lou Groza was the kicker.

Don't have a sense of it this year, all seem distracted... so I'm going on equipment..... Hendrick Motor Sports.... ;) ;) ;) ;)
I would put your point in the category of the Toad's "MO"........ run like hell over whoever the hell...... :-\ :-\ :o
-
Well when ya explain it that way it's a differnt story. I was refferin ta pit stops at the worst possible time.
-
Congrats to Stenhouse on his NNS victory at Chicago. Sadler had a purdy car till the last stop. He was "junk" after that. Stenhouse had a good car most of the day, except when he stalled the car in the pits. He really had to fight back to regain the lead. KB had a good car at the end as well. I'm putting a "hoodoo" on 5-time and WW for tomorrow.
-
Damn. Blaney’s kid gets a win in them thar Craftsman trucks already. Onna track that favors talent over equipment. Now that’s somethin’ ta write home about. Good on ya, youngster.
-
And he did it in a DODGE! YuK!
-
Had ‘Ram’ on the nose. ‘Dodge,’ get out the way. ‘Ram,’ run inta. Hell, them Italians is confused.
Wonder if Penske's gonna mess with the trucks at all next year. Motors ‘n front ends shouldn’t be a problem with his money. Be worth the effort to keep Blaney ‘n Kligerman in somethin’ ‘n run ‘em in some of the NNS stuff too. Don’t think Ford’s gonna take kindly ta him farmin’ Kligerman out ta a Toyota ride. Fiat didn’t have much choice.
-
It's gonna be interesting next year when the Camaro will be running in NNS. I don't understand why they didn't run this year, the Mustang and Challenger were legal. Arcey, We couldn't get the Skins game today, but I heard they lost. I thought St. Louis would be an easy win.
-
Initially, Government Motors said something to effect they had worked too hard on the Camaro’s lines to run somethin’ as generic as a NASCAR version. Guess they discovered there ain’t no money in runnin’ the Pixar-lookin’ thing on the sports car circuit.
On the other subject, welcome to Redskins football.
-
Chicagoland Speedway posted some interesting scenarios...... Still early in the Chase to get any handle on anything but sure's gunna be fun to watch..... 8) 8)
Sadler's performance got him scenery change to Li'l Ricky's butt... :D :D :D Maybe get'n the car ready for Ty.... ::)
That 5 car did a rocket up in the standings but this years history is he'll stall.... "The Pick" still in 1st loser spot but very close...... Wait'n for the 88 to throttle up,,,, NOT hold'n my breath though........ ;D ;)
GO 88
"The Magic Mile" next weekend for the cuppers and Kentucky for the trucks 'n Nationwide....

I am not a big BK fan, but I would rather see him winn than 5-time or WW.
-
The HMS folks done completed the purge ‘n fired both the Eurys now. Shuffled Ryan Pemberton from TBR. ‘Course, no one knows what he’ll be doin’ after the transfer from one satellite to the other. Might take one of ‘em’s place, or maybe both.
Reckon Patrick needs someone what won’t keep victimizin’ ‘er with incessantly loose race cars. Heard she had the same problems with folks sabotagin’ her remarkable talent when she was drivin’ the other stuff.
Reckon in the Childress/Sadler thing blood was thicker’n water. I'd cut a never-was for my for my grand kids. Especially when they look that good.
HMS, water’s thicker’n blood. What happens when ya deal with a thief.
-
Watch'n the Nationwide's run in Kentucky.. Stands look pretty empty...think'n NOT enuf revenues to pay the 'lectric bill.... :-\
GOOD Thing they're DAY RACE'n!
Pretty Li'l Girl is get'n sabotaged again.... ::) ::) ::) ::) ::)
Li'l Ricky found the wall and on the way to the hind tit... :D The Toad broke the rear end.... Just a Shame ::) ::)
Battle between the 2 & 3 car.....
-
Stenhouse overdrove the Car. The power steering on Sadler's car went out. Stenhouse had the car to beat at the beginning of the race.
-
Congrats to Stenhouse on his NNS victory at Chicago. Sadler had a purdy car till the last stop. He was "junk" after that. Stenhouse had a good car most of the day, except when he stalled the car in the pits. He really had to fight back to regain the lead. KB had a good car at the end as well. I'm putting a "hoodoo" on 5-time and WW for tomorrow.
Congrats thte Stenhouse team. How'd that work for points for Sadler?
-
Sadler is back in the points lead for the week. It changes from week to week. Dillion is still in the mix.
-
Real proud of Long’s finish. MLM gets a nod too. Beat a lot folks with a lot more’n they have ta work with. A break or two ‘n the girl may have a future in the game.

I guess it's offical OT day.

I'm lookin at yet another tie game. Differnt channel an the Steelers er givin it their all. Bout ta see if this fella can kick a 33 yarder. Oh, nicely done, sorry raiders.
Commie kickball is an annoyin thing. Done ma time watchin it up close an I don' need no more.
-
Reckon Fox don't wanna pay for the late game. The one on this side weren't in English. Runnin' that game against the NFL might work in france - not here.
-
;D RACE DAY! ;D
Work'n nights meant that the sandman got me 'cept the last 30 laps.... :P :P :-\
I knew that the 11 car would be a contender but will not get the cigar... Still a WINNER! ;D ;D CONGRATS!
The Pick, 48, sneaks into the lead with the second first loser spot....... eight more of those will give Top Spot! 8) 8) 8) 8) 8)
Kasey Kahne....... WOW!....... Do'n what JR should be do'n...... Dark Horse steadfast in 7th....not good.... :-\ :-\
Next weekend the cars @ Monster Mile.... truck to Sin City to play on the Diamond.. ;) ;) ;)

If the news didn’t make it up your way, Slim, Skins signed Ryan Grant. Helu’s out for the rest of the season. So’s Hightower.
-
:-\ :-\ There goes the Neighborhood.... A Busch is move'n inta Coor's Country... :( :(
Looks like our Mile High Race Team has replaced Regan Smith's seat with Kuuuuu Buuuuu's for a year..... :P :P :P
-
I hope Regan Smith can get a ride for the rest of the year. Maybe a NNS ride for next year? I heard a rumor that Sadler may have a full-time NNS ride with JGR next year.
-

Hope he does as well fer the Skins as he did fer the Pack.

;D RACE DAY! ;D
There's that close but no ceeegaaarr guy on the pole again!.... Good on him! ;) ;)
Think'n that the guys start'n toward the back of the line up is gunna be the winner..... Like the Dark Horse.... :) :) :)
GO 88
"Mr. Taken Out like a Sack of Trash" start'n 18th.... Hope'n a top 5 for him and NOT the wall for spite... 8) 8)
See if the "Pretty Li'l Girl" in the 10 car can finish on the lead lap in this race too... :-* :-* :-* :-*

Sure like it when Brad Keselowski parades the Stars 'n Stripes on a WIN!
The Monster slept through the race and never showed up....6 cars finish on the lead lap...JR finish 11th @ two laps down.... :-\ :-\ :-\
The Ol' Guy sure made a great race outta this one..... GOOD ON HIM! ;D ;D ;D
YYYEEeeeeaaaaaahhhhhnnnnn

Donkco gave up what they were get'n to the Raiders..... and HOW!......37 - 6.....OUCH..

It looks like the Broncos opened up a can of whup ass on the Raiders! BK has gained some momentum of this year's Chase. The Roush guys are nearly out of it. Sadler keeps holding on in the NNS. The Truck series is still open.

Can he get one more win in the 51 car or will he take home the Steering wheel?
Interview this week he said, he burned a lot of bridges this season, including the one he was standing on.
-
He ain’t won a cup race since Penske fired ‘im.
Those two are gonna end up teamed up with each other in their own stuff. Prolly gonna be problematic. Toyota, Ford ner, government motors gonna want ‘em. Doubt Fiat’d wanna come back for ‘em. Sponsors? Naw……
More talent than half the field combined ‘n can’t control the tempers ner keep their mouths shut. Shame. Ain’t nobody’s fault but theirs.
-
Is it selling tickets?
-
Not likely. Only two right now that ain't regular winners what sells tickets.

Skins put up a good fight taday, sorry fer the loss. Niners game is goin like a circus.

Talladega Superspeedway sure put the hurt on a bunch of the chasers...... JR might just be done.... :P
24 car is make'n a march as the 48 car Pick is still in strike'n distance ... ;) ;) ;) ;D
Regan finished outta the wreck in 5th to end with the Mile High Race Team as the new driver starts out with his tit in a the wringer... :D :D :D ..... AGAIN..... :D :D :D
Charlotte Motor Speedway next weekend for the cars.... trucks have off.... ;)
Always remember H. L. Mencken's werds.
Henry has VOLUMES of werds..... of Many Subjects..... ::) ::) ::) ::) ... Anything in particular... ???
-

Thanks. Try again next week.
Had the Steelers in the pool. 'Preciate it but they did make it interestin'. Missed the Pack's game but I guess most ever-body did. Dropped a couple others. Could be in the runnin'.
-
You wanna get half passed po'ed watch Fox Sports. They like ta switch over ta other games at critical moments an tell ya they will show ya what happened later in the recap. Happened twice yesterday an the Pack game was one of em.
-
Fox Sports makes a lot of Faux Pa's.
-
Gruden was goin’ on ‘n on ‘bout ♥♪♫♥Romo♥♪♫♥ last week. The c-----s can’t do this without ‘im ‘n they can’t do that without ‘im. How no one has ever been able to do what he can do. ♥♪♫♥Romo♥♪♫♥ was absolutely, without a doubt, the best when – on ‘n on’ ‘n on.
He kinda shut the hell up ‘bout midway the second quarter.
-
Try watching the Browns implode ::) :'(
They've got more defense guys hurt now. Flashes of good( 62 yard TD pass), Haden is back this week. some really bad and predictable coaching decisions as well. team just doesn't know how to win :-\
-
Maybe Gruden can be the next coach, when Jerry fires Garrett at the end of the season, when they don't make the Playoffs again.
-
gee, no post from Yeti on Jr's missing the next two races because of a concussion ::)

Sorry Buck.... I'm on the Vampire Shift and don't get to see too much of the land of the living these days UNTIL the weekend....
Concussion MY Arse!
Already suggested that there was a fork in the 88 car after the 'Dega race sooooo NOW IT's OFFICIAL.... Understand that the former Mile High Race Team Driver will be in the 88 for a few races.... Regan will do jus fine.... IMHO... ::) ::) ::) ::) ::) ::) ::)
Maybe this is a PROTEST by who Popinjay Mr. SSoooooo Smart calls 'em, HMS top Souvenir Salesman, for the absurdity due to the "Lady Luck Survivors" of the "Big Ones" in Super Speedway Races and/or Competition Caution Flags of water bottle debris or the "Fan Boys" with the Super Secret Sprint "Caution Phone Number"....... ::) ::) ::) ::)
NO ROOM FOR SUCH RACES IN THE CHASE>>>>.... ::) ::) ::) ::)
The "PICK" is STILL in it!......GO 48..... ;) ;)
Thanks for noticing there 4eye'd Buck

Guess that wreck was a nasty one, Smoke got airborn. Didn't watch the race, was too busy getting disgusted with the Browns ::)
-
Seein' Allmendinger got the 51.
-
Phoenix Racing is a good fit for "the dinger", It gives him a chance to slip back into racing in NASCAR. I totally agree with Junebugs staying ou tof the car for two weeks.
-
Good race.... Sorry that it was sooooo short for Regan Smith in the 88 :-\ :-\ :(
Shout out for 'Dinger for a good job being gone for soo long and short notice in the 51... 8)
Fuel milage races don't thrill me too much but that's the nature of corn gas as I see it... ;) Sure sucks... air... for those who guess wrong.. :D
48 car half as close as he was.... ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D .... still at First Loser :D
Next weekend Kansas for the cars.... trucks off
-
The Pack decided to play.
Congrats on the Redskins win, Arcey.
Slim
-
Finally!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Browns win, did a fairly good job with all facets for a change ::)
-
Thankee, Slim.
3 ‘n 3. Don’t know how ta act. Skins ‘n the Browns win on the same weekend. Strange.
-
Was busy watchin the circus that were the Raiders Falcons game. Thought sure we'd see overtime on that one. Coach needs ta tell his boys the difference tween good touches an bad touches like they do with the little kids in school.
-
AWESOME comeback from Peyton Manning ! He's like the "Tin Man" of 'OZ once he's warmed up look out
-
Haslam now owns the Browns. Holmgren will be gone at the end of the season. As far as Heckert and Shumur go, still up in the air ::)
-
As the season goes, so does the coach, sometimes.
-
Trucks er runnin up in Sparks taday on the new track. Wish I could be there. So far it's a great race.

Must be a local thing there Master Tanner..... Trucks run next weekend in Martinsville....
Nationwide run'n today in KS..... Lagono on a roll on the Pole as well as Kasey Kahne for the cupper's tomorrow...
Gotta oil change thing going on here....

You gotta see this track. It was a division 2 race but they were runnin all out.
-
;D RACE DAY! ;D
Great job for Li'l Ricky to win for be'n 2 laps down, still in first loser position behind Sadler, looks like it'll go to finial race.... 8)
Pretty Li't Girl finished 10th.... shant be long to be win'n :-* :-* :-*
HMS all over the grid for the start..... The Pick is in the top 10..... WOW, the Ol' Guy starts 2nd... ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
Hope'n Regan brings the 88 car to the top at finish & Pritty Li'l Girl on lead lap....... 8) 8) 8)
GO 88
A Sure Bet:..... The Donkcos will NOT lose today...... Guarrrrrannnnnnteeeeeed!!!!
-
A tuff loss for the Skins today. The Dallas game was a JOKE. The Texans are for real. Let's hope that Junebug will be back in the car Martinsville next week. Good win for Stenhouse at Kansas.
-
48 car snatches defeat from the jaws of victory.....lucky day to finish in top 10 and continue on as first loser... ::) ::) ::)
Pretty Li'l Girl.... LOL... ROF....LOL.... if ya gunna retaliate... DON"T WRECK YOURSELF..... :D :D :D :D :D
Regan Smith races to the top 10 in the 88 car..... Hope he finds a top team to race for... might see him in the 88 for Martinsville ???
JR still has to pass some tests from the head shaker doc.... :( :(
-

The ‘Skins beat themselves with turnovers. There’s a lot of room for optimism though. With the addition of Griffin they can score from anywhere 'n 4th down doesn’t mean much to ‘em. He’s impressive. Then there’s Morris, ‘nother plus. Fred Davis is out for the year. That’ll hurt. Giants had all they wanted.
Good on Houston.
I’d rather be lucky than good. Stenhouse was both yesterday. Don’t know what happened today. Every time I switched stations they were under caution. I’ll read about it after the late game.
-
We didn't have any choice on Fox on which game was viewed around here. I would rather have seen the Skins game than the Dallas-Carolina game. The Cowboys haven'ty disappointed me yet, I am predicting an 8-8 finish for them, or worse. Romo has got to go. I don't think that Garrett's job is too stable, especially when they don't make the playoffs again. The Gaints are still in the drivers seat.
-
Pretty Li'l Girl.... LOL... ROF....LOL.... if ya gunna retaliate... DON"T WRECK YOURSELF.....
watch that's a little package of Cee4 ;D
-
Steelers did great with the second stringers an I do balieve they will meet the Skins next. Suddenlink gives me a perty good choice a games, saw the Pack game an the the Texans game. It was a good day fer ball.
-
Leo, The Bengals looked good against the Steelers for a while. The Bengals QB went to TCU and was able to carry the team. The Bengals got a good player when they drafted him.
-
Matt Schaub picked the Ravens clean yestitty. U.Va. N’er did watch ‘im play tho. It’s all ‘Tech’ playin’ ‘Beamer Ball’ o’er this way. Y’all might know ‘em. They’re the Hokies. Otherwise known as the Chokies in bowl games. Clemson roughed ‘em up right bad Saturday. The fan whinin’ is deafenin’. Good. They mess up my radio programin’. ODU is kickin’ ass in their third year. Won’t be long ‘til we get some home town college ball here.
The guys in IRL weren’t allowed to do nothin’ to the cash cow – like smack the taste out ‘er mouth. That didn’t apply ta the wimmen. Here, the c4 fizzles.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sN7eLhSuwCw
Sorry I missed ‘er display of talent yestitty.
See ya Sunday, Leo. Hail.
-
Best a luck pard. I would really love ta set down an have some Ro-Tel dip with ya an watch it.
-
And to you, sir, on all. Thank you.
Hail.

Pretty Li'l Girl.... LOL... ROF....LOL.... if ya gunna retaliate... DON"T WRECK YOURSELF.....
Found it on You Tube. A remarkable display of car control. Notice how she saved the car's roof from damage. Amazing.
-
She is going to be "picked on" as long as she is in Nascar.

Oh, my.................................
We're playin' the Killer Bees Sunday.....................

All they need is their leather helmets.
-
Maybe they're just getting them used to wearing stripes... :D
-
" I got stripes around my shoulders, I got chains around my feet"!
-
Nore-folk State be playin’ the Aggies who done scored a touchdown. Radio announcer said the Aggie punt returner done scored onna 99 yard field goal return. Reckon he's an alumni.
‘N some folks ‘round ‘ere wonder why no one gets excited o’er NSU foots-ball……….
-
Tryin’ ta watch the trucks……. Uhhhhhhhhhhhh, Craftsman trucks but I gotta listen ta more of Nore-folk State game. Went ta the attached ta burn one ‘n hear an announcer say, ‘that’s what the Spartans need to continue to do but they can’t.’ I’m missin’ too much comedy watchin’ the race.
-
Ended up with Nore-folk State losin’ 30-9. In closin’ the announcer said, ‘It’s a loss for the Spartans but if you’re a fan you had to love the way they played.'
Gonna hafta try'n catch their next game.
-
I wonder if the coach took em out ta pizza afterward an tolt em he knew they gave it their best.
-
Dunno.............
Thinkin' 'e may wanna put an end ta 'em wearin' their helmets sideways though.
-
;D RACE DAY! ;D
Go'n Zombie Kill'n........ Catch this act on the replay.... ;) ;) ;) ;)
JR's back.....yes.. ;D ;D ;D
Root'n for the pick........
GO 48
-
I am rootin' for Denny!
-
I am rootin' for Denny!
He might win one or two more but the cup thing's over. I'd have moved Johnson, shame on Busch.
Defense ain't the only component ta blame taday. Ain't winnin' in that league puttin' 12 up. The Skins 'n the other team from Texas can share the view from the bottom up.
-
just return'd from the zombie kill...... Head Shots ruled..... ;D ;D ;D..
SSSssssssoooooooo WHAT ABOUT THAT 48!! ;D ;D ;D ;D
Don't know the ALLLllll but three races left it's NOT over "on contrairrrrrr" to Mr. SSSSssssoooo Smart..... ::) ::) ::) ::)
15 & 5 are STILL in the hunt as the Blue Deuce is two behind...... ::) ::) ::) ::)
Looks like JR wrecked but finished lead lap....... 11 car finish 33rd....ooohhh ouch, sorry TLD, not a bad pick though.... ;) ;)
Donkcos & Aint's tied 7 each - a Challenge won, then Brees just got intercepted...... 8) 8) 8) 8)
:o
-
The Broncos played a good game last night. Payton looked good as well. I can't understand why anyone would want to see the same Nascar team win the Championship every year. The Trucks and Nationwide series are more competitive anyway.
-
Dallas fought ta the bitter end. Steelers had a good day, weren't a borin game. Only two I saw cause I don' like flippin channels.
-
Brownies won........barely. Weather was terrible, affected both teams equally. brownies defense won the game for them ::)
-
You might say the other Manning brother won by a finger tip. There I was wonderin’ how Romo was gonna luck out of it ‘n on the last play he throws it slam outta the end zone. He didn't let me down.
Heh, heh, heh - I guess he was tryin’ to avoid another interception…………….

Li'l PREJUDICE 'bout NASCAR are ya there TLD..... I'm sure it's some CONSPIRICY that it's allllll HMS fault that Sprint is a SMALL bit lop-sided... That Dodge team is doing pretty damn good as well as the Yota's..... for a few years now,,,,,,just can't get it done....
Need to STOP sip'n rc's Pungo Swamp water..... ::) ::) ::) ::)

Sorry 4-I Buck.... Cleve just loosers....
Race'n TEXAS next weekend for ALLL!

HNS is a bunch of crooks anyway. JJs crew chief has been suspended at least twice for cheating and some how Nascar seems to think that WW and JJ are the poster boys for Nascar. I've been watching Nascar since 63, and it was better before the big sponsors got involved. We are all intitled to our own opinions the last time I checked.

OOOOhhhhhhh My!! TLD
Your opinion is all yours...... just point'n out that it's just a bit narrow..... Been watch'n since '63 then you SHOULD know that there have been many teams accused of cheat'n crooks and their Crew Chief's suspended multiple times...... Always has been "Big Sponsors" more now then '63 as well as really NONE at the dawn of NASCAR ['cept the Pig 'n Whistle Shine...LOL].... WTF's the point ??? ??? ??? Ya sound like some damn cry'n liberal jump'n up 'n down call'n names.... ::) ::)
FYI..... NASCAR Poster Boy WOULD BE.............. JR & the JR Nation..... ;D.......at this time... ;D ;D ;D
All aspects of NASCAR stop'd be'n NASCAR when the Fairness Doctrine was instated and race cars no longer came off the Dealer's Showroom Floors... ::) ::) ::) ::)
God Bless your li'l ol' heart ;) ;) ;)
-
The emphasis nowdays is he who has the biggest sponsors has more money to spend and right now that happens to the sponsors on Hendricks teams. The smaller teams cannot compete on an even basis because of sponsorship. Hendrick always has an unfair advantage and the idea of JJ winning the championship every year does not make for good competition. The Trucks and Nationwide are more competitive than Nextel beacuse the little guys have a better chance to be competitive. There isn't any competition if the same team wins every year.

God Bless yur Heart..... ;)

I agree with Tex bout the trucks. I just got into em recently an from what i seen it is anybodies game out there.
-
Leo, The trucks and the Nationwide series are the best series to watch. They go to alot of the smaller tracks and the folks get to watch the races closer to their homes. The trucks are cheaper to maintain.
-
Ahhhhhhhh for a schedule full of Martinsvilles, Bristols, Richmonds, Rockinghams, Iowas, IRPs. Cup at Myrtle Beach. Damn.
I remember cup at Langley. T’was a hoot.
-
Lots of beatin' and bangin' in the "Bull Rings".
-

Trucks are the BEST to watch..... Have a small track here in Erie Colorado {then a dirt oval and now paved with an "8" in it} that the trucks ran here before they where "NASCAR"...... Have a neighbor here swears that:Truck Race'n was born in Erie, CO
;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
-
Lots of beatin' and bangin' in the "Bull Rings".
Makes fer damned good body men 'n fabricators.
-
It keeps a lot of fabricators gamefully employed for the duration.
-
Texas Truck race'n on Now!
Makes fer damned good body men 'n fabricators.
Since Imposing the NASCAR Fairness Doctrine & the C.O.T.::::::
1.) No Such Thing as a "Fabricator".....
Just Pressed Out panels with NASCAR Holograms on 'em.... Don't screw with them or use different, TLD will call ya a cheater...
2.) No Such Thing as a "Body Man"..... Train monkeys to replace panels and slap on bear bond tape....
Decal Guys are the talent.... Don't paint cars no more either....
;D ;) ;D

Congrats to Sauter on his truck series win last night. Nationwide today and Vextel tomorrow. It's 75 outside right now.
-
;D RACE DAY @ TX.. Shoot'n Six Guns-Cowboy Hats 'n a Boot Trophy ;D
{Sprint must be Vextel in Texas}
Dang it if Elliott didn't let Li'l Ricky get in front of 'em in the standings by an extra win tiebreaker... TWO RACES 2-GO... :o
Pretty Li'l Girl finished top 10... ;). ;) :-*. :-*... the other one broked her shifter.....early :-\
8) 8) The Pick in on the POLE! 8) 8) but I think it's JR's second WIN taday.... ;D
GO 88
-
Missed most the Busch race. Don’t see the grand kids that often ‘n there’s a couple more late model races comin’ up.
Saw Stenhouse back runin’ in the teens. Sadler third ‘n Harvick let ‘im lead a lap. Looked at the results ‘n it weren’t that way. Blaney continues to impress.
-
P.S.
Forgot to mention.....
The Panthers vs Redskins game today...... GO Panthers......can't afford the outcome of the streak.... :o
Donkcos at Bengals.....
-
Congrats to Harvick last night in the Nationwide race. He had the besty car most of the night. I think it's a two horse race for the Nationwide championship, Stenhouse and Sadler. The weather will be nice today for the Cup race. I didn't watch much of the race, I was keeping up with Oklahoma State vs Kansas State and LSU vs Bama. Arcey, We will be watchin' the Skins today if it is playing up here. The Falcons are playing the other team in Texas. Some folks around here are actually picking them to upset the Falcons. I don't think that will happen.

The throwback uniforms are right snazzy. Helmets look kinda like leather. Hope ya enjoy the game.
The talkin' heads 'n disembodied voices been fan boyin' the team from Texas. Most of 'em are takin' the 'Skins - that bothers me. Reckon we'll see on both. Gotta remember ta check on the on the race now 'n again.
-
It's a 2 car race at the moment, #2 and #48, still a lot of laps left.
-
Brownies managed to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory again today. Getting REAL disgusting ::) :-\
-
;D The PICK winssss.... ;D ;D ;D ;D
It's a 2 car race at the moment, #2 and #48, still a lot of laps left.
NO LAPs Left..... BUT STILL a two car race with two RACES left.......GO 48
What about that CHEAT'n 48 Team..... ::) ::) ::)
Looks like Panthers lead the whole game... Carolina 21 & DC 13 8) 8) 8) Bye Bye Barry....Hello Mitt... ;D ;D ;D
Donkcos put a spank'n on the striped kittens.... :D :D :D
NASCAR.......Everyone plays at Pheonix next weekend... 8) 8) 8) 8)
GO 48
-
Steelers bagged another one. Heck folks thought they was losin'.
-
Took a total team effort by the 'Skins. Ya don't win in the game puttin' 13 points up. Told ya it bothered me when the hypers was speakin' in glowin' terms.
-
They just couldn't seem to get untracked.
-
Sonny Jurgensen said it best, The ‘Skins hate the current losin’ team from Texas. They despise the eagles (lower case intended) but simply strongly dislike the Giants.
That said, the eagle-whoever whut came up with flattenin’ a player in the end zone onna kick ‘n havin’ that player pop up ‘n wait for a lateral is a freakin’ genius. Too bad it weren’t a lateral tho. No score - no six.
Never seen that before. Now that it’s been done kinda doubt we’ll ever see it again………..
-
I predicted an 8-8 season for the Cowboys, when the season began. I think I may have given them too much credit. Jerry got locked out of the locker room on Sunday, That's funny! He needs to "fire" himself as General Manager. We are hearing rumors that Sean Payton may come back to the coaching staff. If they keep losing, maybe they will get the Number One draft pick. I know that it would be too much to ask, but, they need a replacement at QB, right now.
-
Locked out. Damn. Maybe spare keys’ll sell as well as “Jerry Wipes” did………………………
Wonder if ole Jerry’ll invite Dan, Mike ‘n the ‘Skins o’er ta his place ta watch the playoffs on his big screens.

Arcey, The local TV stations are really making a big deal about Jerry being "locked out". He was really banging on the door, but no one would let him in. That's just too funny. He made a commercial for Papa John's Pizza, in which he tried to "rap". It was terrible. It almost made me quit buying Papa John's Pizza. Jerry don't realize that he is one of the main reasons that they can't win.
-
Ain’t seen the Papa John’s thing. Don’t suppose I’m likely to. They’re the official pizza of the Redskins also. Reckon they could get decent discounts for the play offs/Super Bowl watchin’ party. Be right funny ta lock ole Jerry ‘n Dan outta that’n too.
-
Arcey, I really hope you don't have to endure Jerry's commercial, it's really bad. I would have like to have a camera shot of Jerry banging on the locker room door. Maybe folks were tryin' to tell him sumthin'. I read where Coulter will drive a truck for KBM next year and Vickers will drive for JGR in the Nationwide series. I thought that Sadler was moving to JGR and drive a Nationwide car. Vickers is a good fit for JGR. He will be competitive in their equipment.

Oh my.......... Thankee, Slim.
Saw the Vickers deal. Hope that ends the Sadler rumor. Was werried 'bout JD's mental stability on that'n.

Thought I would post this here, kinda symbolic of the day yesterday. I was taking break about 3 pm, was sittin' in The General havin' a smoke, watchin' the cars on the highway. Saw somethin' that about made me puke, a Prius high-breed, went down the highway, the little POS was painted a light blue and reddish orange with a 43 on it. Just thought that was so wrong in so many ways. >:(
-
I could have done without the Jerry thing, but like a car wreck I had ta look.
-
I saw a segment on TV last week about Petty Enterprise's building Muscle cars at the old Petty facility in Level Cross. They had different brands in various stages of building or rebuilding. Del, I feel your pain. It sounds like Petty Enterprise needs to sue that guy for copyright violations. That's just so wrong on so many levels.

We got races at Phoenix in all 3 series. Phoenix is a flat track and it ought to make for some interesting races this weekend.
-
Brian Scott was beneificery of a green-white checker last night at the Truck race in Phoenix.
-
Phoenix track is flat? ??? ??? ???
Walked that finish line a couple times and there's NOTHING flat about it.....Martinsville IS flat..... 8)
Nationwide is start'n up here in a few.... ;D ;D ;D

Sadler's Championship hopes just disappeared due to an accident. He will be at least 10 points behind Stenhouse when the race is over today. Sadler's car looks more like a Late Model than a NNS car.

Li'l Ricky has to finish 16th or better next weekend's race at Homestead to clinch and the "Fat Lady" has NOT sang on Sadler YET but she sure is warm'n up!
2 car is 20 points behind and the 6 car might blow up on the 1st lap...... :D :D
Pretty Li'l Girl finished 10th on the lead lap in a straight car!!!!! 8)
:o
-
Great run by the 2.
I’m so damned glad Vickers is goin’ ta JGR ‘n Sadler’s goin’ ta………….. who knows, I could just giggle.
He wants to 'revive' his cup 'career.' There may be a solid start 'n park ride in his future.
-
Vickers is a good fit for JGR. He can be a contender for the NNS cup right from the start. Lagono has made JGR a factor in the NNS with his victories.
-
He's strong in that series. I wish him the best with Penske.
Gonna go out onna limb ‘n guarantee the ‘Skins won’t lose taday.
-
Go RG III! The other team from Texas are playing the Eagles, the battle for the cellar in the NFC East. It's a shame that both teams can't lose. Maybe Penske will add a third NNS team for him.
-
;D Veteran's DAY & RACE DAY...........WOW! ;D....
Thank You to ALL Veterans!
Sadler shot his own damn self in the foot on many levels..... RCR is about the Grand Boys now on ALL Levels.... :-\ :-\ :-\
Easier ta find a job when ya HAVE ONE! ::) ::) ::)
Sadler is not the best race driver but he IS a good Driver.... Good Luck on him... ;)
Harvick is leave'n RCR too in 2014 to SHR.... is Rocket Man out or 4 cars? ???
No One "owns" Pheonix Track so who's ta win today?.?.?.?.................... The Ol' Guy in the 55... YES! ;D ;D ;D
GO 48: seal the deal
Forgot ta say.... Donkcos vs the Panthers early today................. DC will NOT WIN eat'er.. ::)
-
Newman is signed thru 2013. I don't see him going anywhere, unless something unexpected opens up. The drivers on the good teams are signed up for awhile. I don't see Newman taking a step down to a second-rate team. If everyone is in place in 2014, SHR could be a 4 car team as well. Harvick will need a number for his new ride and will Bud continue as a sponsor for RCR?

TLD....You said Rocket Man is signed w/SHR 'till 2013 what 'bout 2014 & beyond?.... Happy is w/RCR 'till end of 2013..... Bud Follow Happy to SHR? ??? ??? ??? ???
??? ??? WWTSD ??? ???
-
Right now Newman is only signed through 2013, I think he will resign with SHR after the season is over. Him and Tony are good friends off the track as well. The Bud sponsorship will be interesting to see what happens. I am sure that RCR is planning on both the grandkids moving up to Cup series, and they will need sponsors. The oldest grandkiid will prolly get Harvick's car when he leaves. This brings up another question? Will the # 3 reappear in the Cup series?
-
I've said many many times that RCR is about those Grand Boys as Bowyer-Sadler-now Harvick move on....Menard or Burton next?
Paul has his OWN sponsership! ;) ;) ;) ;)
As for Tony & Ryan be'n friends..... Business is Business...... ::) ::)
??? ??? WWTSD ??? ???
As far as bring'n back the #3...... Way too many SACRILEGE's have been thrown down our throats lately....Yes within next three years.... >:( >:( >:( >:(
-
The grand kids are running the #3 in the Truck and NNS, I guess the Cup series is the next step? One of the grand-kids, prolly Austin, is scheduled to drive the #33 car in the 2013 Daytona 500. They are supposed to have Cheerios as a sponsor on the #31 next year and Paul has his own sponsor where ever he goes.
-
That was a Butt Ugly race as soooo many show'd their butts and it was NOT the Toad.... ::) :o ::)
What was up with NASCAR not throw'n the YELLOW flag when the Pritty Li'l Girl spun/ ??? ??? ??? Guess'n the spotters left the building early.... :D
48 car screw'd the pooch with impatience as now him & Sadler are both 20 points out....their respective nimisis will have to blow up on the first lap at Homestead.... ::) ::) ::) ::) Imagine Blue Deuce [like the NNW 6 car] will have to finish 16th or better too... ???
Finish of all Race'n is next weekend Homestead-Miami.....
;D
-
Stenhouse and BK have the Championships to lose. Nascar should have thrown the yellow for Danica, there was a lot of oil on the track. Knause outsmarted himelf. WW showed no class in wrecking out Bowyer and Lagono. Nothing will happen to him, Nascar thinks of him as their poster boy. A good win for Harvick.
-
Watch'n replays........
Pretty Lil Girl wrecked by Buton in the 31 car....the crash at the end was a hand full of cars led by Newman pull'n what the 48 car did on turn 4 that sent him to hind tit.... ::) ::)
TOO FAST come'n off the turn and slide-ways into the wall as they all bounced into the straight-a-way meeting the sweet tail of the 10 car well past the finish line..... ;D ;D ;D ;D
Still should'a Yellow flag'd it.....
Once again.... JR {88 car} is the current "Poster Boy" of NASCAR..... Some might argue 48, the 24 car NOT for a long long time.... ;)
-
I use to like Butt- on
-
I use to like Butt- on
What Happened?......... OH PLEASE... DO tell!...... ;D ;D ;D
-
WW got a Police escort back to his motor home. No matter how hard he tries, he will always be a wimp. He wanted to be an intimadator. There ain't but one, and he passed away in 2001. Nascar prolly won't do anything to him for wrecking Bowyer and Lagono.
-
Too bad ‘bout Johnson. Really sorry ta see that.
If I were Gordon, I’d invite Bowyer to meet me behind the haulers ‘n teach ‘im a lesson.
-
What Happened?......... OH PLEASE... DO tell!...... ;D ;D ;D
Pretty Lil Girl wrecked by Buton in the 31 car
-
Arcey, I would pay good money to meet WW behind the haulers. He would not have lasted long in the 50s, with folks like Joe Weatherly and Curtis Turner around. He willalways be a WIMP and a WHINER!
-
Watchin a game what is chock full a penalties I never heard of. Would tell ya all about it but I'm not allowed ta give comentary without the express written concent of the NFL (they said so an I wouldn't wanna loose 5 yards) so in leiu of that let's listen as the elevator goes down.
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rHkjee64ezM[/youtube]
-
Enjoyed the game yestitty eve. Ref’s did have their moments tho…..
Seein’ the fines from Phoenix. Seems it would be fittin’ if the money went ta RPM ‘n JGR ta rebuild their cars with instead of Brian’s Favorite PC Charities.
Causin’ one of my cars ta get tore up o’er sumthin’ what weren’t my driver’s fight would piss me off. The AARP car would be a target come Miami……
-
I think that they should have fined WW $250,000 instead of 100,000. Dockiing him points at this part of the season is meaningless. Thy probation should be longer as well. I think HMS needs to buy RPM and MWR a new race car apiece. Rick's pocket book is deep enough to afford it.
-
Turned the game off afore it was over. From the final it don't sound like I missed much. 'cursing the field judger' 'taunting' and 'team celebration' was pushin it a little far fer me an I'm a Steelers fan. I didn't feel so bad because the ESPN guys were just as confused as I were.
-
Football games can get out of hand if the refs don't take control.
-
That's true but all used to fall under the blanket of unsportsmanlike conduct. Found it strange that all three of those calls were on touchdown plays.

Guess you don't get it TLD....
Now Gordon doesn't get to go to dinner with the Boys and sit next to Bowyer and share a dessert.... ;)
Lil'l Roo.... { OH! duha...} I TOTALLY AGREE.... Don't like no-body whose wreck'n the Pritty Li'l Girl....... ;D
The BEST $25,000.00 fine was to the Blue Deuce for have'n an "On Board Computer" tweet'n at the Red Flag.... :D :D :D :D
-
I'm not going to lose any sleep because he won't get to sit at the head table with buddy, 5-time. He needs to sit at the kid's table anyway.

The 3 championships will be settled this weekend at Homestead. Kenseth will drive the 17 for the last time, Lagano will drive the 20 for the last time. Edwards will have a new crew chief. The points are close in all 3 series. More fireworks on and off the track? All in all, it should make for an interesting weekend.
-
Readin’ Vick ain’t playin’ Sunday. Don’t know whether that’s a good or bad thing. But they still have Reid on the side lines. There’s hope for the ‘Skins.
Rumor has it this might be it for Vick. But, I don’t worry ‘bout ‘im personally. He has a solid education from VT when he was a stoodant-aflete playin’ for the love of the game ‘n school. He’ll do well out of the NFL.
His health is the most important consideration. As his brother, Marcus, also a stoodant-aflete for VT and equally well educated, wrote in a tweet:
“I don't want to see brother with brain problems by the time he 45. Everybody have a job to do so do it. They all professionals”
Well said, Marcus. Beamer always had your best interests at heart.
-
Arcey, The Cowboys took Vick out of the game early last Sunday. The replacemebt is a big kid with a rocket arm. Good luck to RGIII. The Cowboys get the Browns this weekend in Arlington. That game will be a tossup. They might make my prediction of 8-8, no better. I'm watching the Truck qualifying from Homestead, it's almost dark down there.
-
BK just knocked WW off the Pole position at Homestead. Yea! I just hope that 5-time doesn't knock him off.
-
Joey Logano - 176.056 - 30.67
-
He said he was gonna sit on the pole and he did it. Best wishes to him Penske next year.

The ONLY close race was the Trucks.... James Buescher in the Bow-Tie 31 Great Clips nail'd it last night... ;) ;) 8)
Ron Hornaday finished outta Top 10 in 13th..... 8) 8)
Nationwide & Sprint are ALLREADY SET baring the fact that the Li'l Ricky & Brad FINISH 16th & 15th or better respectively.... ::). ::). ::). ::)
Kids Table.... That's Funny :D :D :D
Nationwide this afternoon Sprint tomorrow....... ;D. ;D. ;D
-
Sadler took himself out of the NNS series lead without too much help. Congrats to Buscher on his Truck Championship. He's from a suburb, north of Dallas. Stenhouse and BK have got points leads in their prospective series. A top ten finish for both of them should get it done. Five- time is running his mouth, trying to "physc" out BK. He just needs to do what he has done all year and stay out of trouble. Johnson is grasping at straws.
-
Lead’s 20 in both the Grand National ‘n Late Model divisions. The talkin’ heads ‘n scribblers er hypin’ the things all up but that’s hard ta overcome. Unless sumthin’ big happens, ‘n it could, both series already have their winners. Reckon if they just say 'n write what it is the fan boys won’t get that it’s important.
Be kinda nice ta have an owner what ain’t a thief enjoyin’ the year end victory in Nextel Cup. Been awhile. Roush is lookin’ at two straight in Busch but he ain’t a thief. He’s just a jerk.
Time ta kill before the dramatic conclusion. Thinkin’ on castin’ some bullets. The OFSDAR thing goes thru a pile of 358212s in a hurry.
-
This year's Chase has brought out what I have said all along, WW and 5-time are just a couple of bitchy little GIRLS!
-
AP article the pilot (lower case intended) picked up ‘bout the grudge with Boywer. Folks weren’t gonna mess with ‘im no more. He’s got ‘fire’ in ‘im. Thinkin’ it best he leave Bowyer be. Prolly a better driver than Bowyer – ten years ago – not now. That said, Gordon’s had a lot better equipment ‘n support than Bowyer’s had over the years too – not now.
Seems he’s still whinin’ o’er the deal it Martinsville. Bowyer got under him ‘n Johnson. Guess he’s forgot Newman pushed Bowyer ‘n if he hadn’t gone under ‘im he’d knocked ‘im in the hind parts. But Newman’s kinda a step-brother with both drivin’ fer thieves ‘n in the ‘same’ equipment. So if ‘e remembers he ain’t gonna say nothin’. The ‘honor amongst thieves’ thing.
-
KB seems to be the car to beat in the NNS race. Sadler is second place. Stenhouse made a call not to take tiires, just fuel on his last stop. It worked for awhile, but now he's losing points to Sadler.
-
Congrats to Regan Smith on his win at Hoestead. JR Motorsports had not won since 2010. Sadler finished 2nd agiain in points, with Dillion finishing 3rd. KBs car just went away in the latter stages of the race.
-
This year's Chase has brought out what I have said all along, WW and 5-time are just a couple of bitchy little GIRLS!
Bitchy Little Girls....... That's funny too... :D :D :D :D
Sound like Regan Smith is gunna be the next Nationwide dominator with JR Motorsports cars next year.... COOL! ;)
As set forth last weekend when Sadler nail'd the wall to make Li'l Ricky Champ the Fat Lady has SUNG as she will tomorrow for the Blue Duece for the SAME reasons....... Then maybe a Bitchy Li'l Girl gets into Sweet Brad's head and he blows his wad.... ::) ::)
;D ;D ;D
-
Stenhouse looked like he was tryin’ to make a point gettin’ by the 2 at the end. Worked. Can’t knock it. Been me I’d rode behind him, grinned ‘n waved ever time he looked in the mirror……..
Congrats to the 6 team, Roush ‘n JGR.
-
The announcers mentioned again last night about Sadler going to JGR next year to drive a NNS car for them. It seems that Scott won't be back at JGR for next year. Maybe Sadler will inherit the 11 car? Bayne will inherit the 6 car from Stenhouse next year as well.
-
;D RACE DAY! ;D Final race of 2012.... :(
Pretty Li'l Girl finishes 10th in Nationwide Standings 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) MAN ol' man SHE'S PRETTY! :o
90 days 'til Shoot Out - 95 days 'til Duels -&- 99 days 'til DAYTONA 500! ;D
MORE FUNnnnnny: Bitchy Li'l Girl 24 car wrecks the Blue Deuce 'cause he's good at it ::) an' the Bitchy Li'l Girl 48 car wins the Championship as NASCAR does NOTHING {Poster Boys OR...HMS 'cause they have ALL THE MONEY} an' calls it...."That's Race'n"...... :D :D :D :D :D
Congrats now to Brad Keselowski and the "last year of the Dodges".... Team Blue Deuce was my "Dark Horse" pick last year only to finish 5th behind Smoke {my pick}.......
WELL DESERVED 2 !.........nice.... 8) 8)
Let the Fat Lady SING!
GO 88
Chargers @ Donkcos today.... ;)

Heard that. Hadn’t heard it since they announced the Vickers deal. Don’t wanna hear it. Reckon we’ll find out soon ‘nuff.
-
My wife is excited that her Baylor Bears beat the #1 team, the Kansas State Wildcats, last night. Silly Season has sorta been slow to start, but it otta pickup, now that the season will be over tonight. There looks like more movement in the Truck series and the NNS than Cup.
-
Peeps, It appears that 5-time is done for the day and headed to the garage. BK can rest easy now, it looks like he will win his first championship. Five-Time, Sorry about your durn luck!
-
It looks like 5-time had rear end provlems, his crew is installing a new rear end.
-
Guess the 24 car was too busy WINNING THE RACE to wreck the Blue Deuce.... ::) ::)
Brad Keselowski & Roger Penski won the Championship last weekend when 48 hit the wall... NO lug nut nor failed rear gears... ::)
Congrats to Roger to FINALLY get a NASCAR Champ Trophy for his case....
GO 24.....GO 2
;D
Cowboys steal one from the Browns.... sorry 4I Buck :-\ :-\
Donkcos sleepy the first quarter... :P
-
Forgot to mention that HMS got their FIRST WIN at Homestead.... Thank you Jeff Gordon! :D :D :D
Looks like Martin Truex Jr. felt that Jeffy should eat with the Boys after all...... ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
The Jr's night out.... toss'n back cold one an' shoot'n pool... ;)
-
I guess WW won't have to sit at the kid's table after all. They prolly didn't want to see him cry.
-
Heck, Tex. Prolly the last chance he'll get. Oh well……………………………………..
A mileage win is a win. Ain’t an ass-kicker, kinda sneaky, but it’s a win. The 2 got more’n one like that this season. Long’s they’re runnin’ this compound the teams are gonna have to adapt or lose.
Ya get down to numbers, if it weren’t for mileage races ‘n MIS, whatizname in the renumbered 25 wouldn’t have won a race in over six years. Patrick, none as a professional driver.
Now I can watch football 'n it'll be at least a year without a thief's car holdin' championship....
-
I'll drink to that! It will a learning process for the Penske teams to change from Dodge to Ford. It's been several years since they had Fords. I figger that 5-time will be strong again and I think that Edwrds will bounce back. Smoke still has another Championship left in him. Kenseth will be adjusting to a new team and a different brand of car. The off-season will be a busy one till Daytona in 2013, and a interesting one as well.
-
The Brownies gave that one away in the second half, TLD >:(
Coaching staff just don't have it, they can't adjust on the fly. The defense up front was good, but the banged up secondary was the Achilles heel :-\
-
I was pullin' hard for ya, Buck.
"There was some serious scoreboard watching in the Washington Redskins locker room.'Did Dallas lose?' right guard Kory Lichtensteiger asked reporters."
So was the team.........................
-
Arcey, The Skins whupped the hated Philly Eagles yesterday. Go Skins! RGIII had 4 TD passes. I told he was special. The Browns/Cowboys game was ugly. The Ohio teams have got two purdy QBs, Cincy has Dalton(TCU) and the Browns have Weeden(Okie State).
-
He’s different than what I’ve come to expect in a Redskins uniform. Reports say he had a perfect QB ratin’ yestitty. Don’t know how that’s done with an incomplete pass but I really don’t care. 15 of 16, 4 TD passes ‘n 84 yards runnin’ is more’n I can ask.
He's a hoot to watch. Reminds me of Fran Tarkenton.
-
Oh well.......
Maybe he'll do better than he did with Childress.
http://espn.go.com/racing/nascar/nationwide/story/_/id/8652979/elliott-sadler-drive-full-nationwide-schedule-jgr-13
-
Maybe he will get the #11 since Brian Scott won't be back next year for JGR.
-
Glad Campbell’s gone but damned if it wasn’t sad watchin’ ‘im get a butt whippin’ last night.
He's as tough as they come 'n passable when things are goin’ right. When they go wrong he just can’t think fast ‘nuff ta get the job done.
-
Arcey, RGIII gets to 'feast" on the porous Dallas secondary on Thanksgiving Day. Good luck to him and the Skins. Dallas finally made it 5-5, inching closer to my prediction of 8-8.
-
Been spyin’ their boards. Got some fans werried. Good. ‘Skins folks is werried too.
They’re doin’ the third grader, school yard stuff. Referrin’ ta Griffin as ‘Bob.’
-
Arcey, I don't expect them to play any better than they did against the Browns. They have a non-existent pass rush and a ragged a__ secondary. Robert should have a feast.
-
Robert should have a feast.
I shall enjoy watching the young man ply his craft.
-
Well, It looks like One Main Financial will be Sadler's primary sponsor in the NNS in 2013.
-
Yeah. That helps explain the Sadler deal.
Lookin’ forward to Vickers full time. If he can match Logano’s wins he’ll be in contention for the championship. Mercifully, Patrick is goin’ cup so she won’t be winnin’ all of ‘em. Gonna be tough waitin’ ta see she her debut at Martinsville – she’s gonna knock ‘em dead.
Looks like Monster is goin’ ta Gibbs ‘n he’s gonna stick Busch back inta the NNS schedule like he used to. Can’t figger if Busch is gonna fold the NNS thing or hang onto it. If it folds, what becomes of Mike Beam ‘n Rick Ren?
Said something about puttin’ Wallace in a KBM truck ‘n a few NNW series races, he did pretty good in the 18. Kinda like to see that. Ain’t seen much on the other development kids. Interested in Truex in particular.
Shore Lodge belongs to Brian Scott. He's been mentioned for the truck. Wonderin’ if he’s gonna be in the picture.
Silly season. Other stuff………….
Ain’t paid much attention to the championship finish thing ‘til taday. Brian almost has his parity by driver. Fiat #1, Toyota #2, Government Motors #3 ‘n if Biffle’d done a bit better woulda been Ford #4. As it was it was Ford #5. Interestin’.
-
I remember when Mike was Bill Elliot's crew chief and Rick was Ron Hornaday's crew chief. They are good folks and they deserve good jobs in one of the Series.
-
I just read on Yahoo that Danica is getting a divorce after 7 years of marriage. I guess she is back on the market again. I hope we have more bikini shots and swimsuit calendars.

Gotta hunch when it comes ta sponsors she’s had the seven year itch fer ‘bout…… uhhhhh………. how long’s she been in racin’?
Wonder how many fan boys called the cell phone nummer on the insurance company commercial thinkin’ it was really hers. Affer all, their hero sez it is on the TV. As if they had a shot at it if it was anyway.…………….
-
Who knows, she might even pose for Playboy!
-
You could told me that wasn't her number when the ad first air'd. Now your going to tell me that's really not her posting on Facebook and Twitter. Or will the court have to send me a notice?
-
LR, Us Dirty Olde Men don't even have a chance with that. That's too high octane for me, I might burn a valve.
-
Oh well.........................
Leave the credit cards out of it.

Probably high maintenence, too :-\ :o

A guy can always wish (fanatizes)

Hehe
She unfollowed me at Twitter today. :(
-
She who?
-
Arcey, It sounds like Roo is becoming a cyber stalker.
-
How 'bout dem
cowboys Redskins?
They made it interestin' in the second. I'll take it either way. Just three more wins to break even.
Hail
-
Arcey, RGIII had 4 more TDs today. Romo made it interesting in the second half, too little-too late. If Dallas keeps losing, they will be in the cellar with Philly. I think Robert should be their MVP and Rookie of the Year.
-
She who?
Go 10 Daddy
-
Damned right! Go 10 Daddy!
I agree with Tex 'n yerownself, #10 fer MVP ‘n RoY! 20-28, 311 yards, 4 TD ‘n 1 INT (ooopppps). 38-31 ‘Skins! Go 10 Daddy! Strike from anywhere!
HTTR!
-
Did I mention four touchdown passes in consecutive games. No, I didn’t.
10 is the first Redskins quarterback with four touchdown passes in consecutive games.
Fixed it.
HTTR!
-
Baylor knocked off #1 Kansas State last week and another of my college teams, TCU, knocked off #18 Texas last night.

Go 10 Daddy
Sorry Li'l Roo.....
Leave it to a bully ta steal the Prety Li'l Girls candy for his own Happy Dance of a Pro Football Team beat'n up on a High School Football Team...... dc is STILL 1st looser in the NFC East w/o a real chance of Wild Card with 4 Pro-Teams to play.... ::) ::)
Griffin..... Tallented and OVER-RATED.....Cunningham, McNair, McNabb, Vick...etc.... Mike Shanahan is what the dc team has going for them....... 8)
85 days to Bud Shootout - 90 days to Duels - 93 days to DAYTONA 500! ;D ;D
;)
Texans & Detroit...guess someone had to win ??? ??? Pat's 3 TD's in less then a minute:::: Jets another H.S. team :-\ :-\
-
February will be here before we know it. They did some winter testing at TMS a few years ago. It drew a purdy good crowd. I went out there for one day, we had a cold front come through and the temps dropped to the upper 30s. I was not dressed for the cool weather, I came home after a couple of hours. The big deal here in Texas is new Formula One track in Austin. They had the race last weekend and drew about 100,000 folks on the day of the race. It doesn't float my boat, but it is different from Drag racing and Nascar.
-
I'll watch Formula One, know it aint popular round here but some days racin is racin anyway ya can get it.
-
They made a big investment on that track near Austin. I hope folks don't lose interest.
-
I just read Tony Stewart was offered an Indy Car next year.
-
The Chief involved in the murder/suicide was 4 year LB Jovan Belcher. My prayers for his and the victim's family 'n friends.
-
Arcey, It seems like there are more of those murder/suicide's around the holidays than any other times of the year. I feel sorry for the ones who had to witness the suicide.
-
Denver Broncos
AFC West CHAMPS 2 years in a row!
76 Days to Bud Shootout - 81 Days to Duels - 84 Days to DAYTONA 500! ;D
19 days to the Apocalypse!.....
time to sleep to the cowboys & eagles.... :-\ :-\ :-\
-
I didn't think that you were a Bronco fan? We very seldom get to see the Broncos play because I live in the South. We usually get the Texans game, which I would rather watch them than the Cowboys.
-

LOL...... I'm one of those "frustrated" fans that has had a gut full of "Wait 'til NEXT year"... Let's just say I've made more money bet'n against those dang Donkeys!..... LOL
I'ma Texans fan too 'cause I always admired Gary Kubiak plus hated to see the Oilers move to TN.... wanna see Houston some day as it's on my bucket list.... furthest South I've been is Founders Ranch in NM.
-
Been a " die-hard" fan since Denver's Elway's days... won't change my "alliance" for any $$. I could bet any amount 2 mi. away at any sport's book but won't...
-
" Wait till next year" is written in stone in Cleveland, for all three sports teams. ::) :-\
-
Wanted ta see the Browns' game. Like the bad weather stuff but it wasn't carried here.
-
They won, Arcey. Not pretty, but a "W" nontheless ::)
-
Another "ugly" win for the Cowboys. The next 2 games are crucial. They are within 2 games of my prediction of 8-8. Cincinatti and Pittsburg are both capable beating them. I don't know whether an 8-8 record will save Garrett's or Rob Ryan's jobs for next year. Jerry was not happy until the end of the game, after Dallas took the lead. The Cowboys are much like the evening soap opera, "Dallas". Jerry gets my vote for the role of J R.
-
Two straight wins for the Browns. Better’n what Baltimore ‘n Pittsburgh can offer right now.
-
Cable's been out fer 24 hours, got no footsball yessaday. Good ta know I can come here an see what all went on at the grid iron.
-
Leo, The Steelers beat Baltimore without "Big Ben". I have never been a Steelers fan, I can remember when the Steelers were in the NFL East with Dallas.
-
I always watch the Steelers, it's a family tradition. Cable finally came back so at least I can watch the Monday night show. I'll pull fer Arcey's Skins.
-
Leo, If you have not seen RG III in action, you are in for a treat. I've followed the kid's career in college, because the Moose is an alumni. He is something special to watch, he will carry the Skins as far as they will let him. Arcey wasn't a believer in him at first, but he's come around after watching the games.
-
I'm lookin forward ta it. Gotta catch up fer missin the action yesserday.
-
ELI can be good at times, as well. Hopefully, It will be a good game to watch.
-
Reckon Griffin's good 'nuff 'til they can find somethin' better. Maybe fifteen er sixteen years from now.
Boy's scary. He gets a couple years experience 'n stays healthy ain't no tellin' what he'll do. Hell of a draft.
One game at a time.
Hail.
-
Been a " die-hard" fan since Denver's Elway's days... won't change my "alliance" for any $$. I could bet any amount 2 mi. away at any sport's book but won't...
NO DISRESPECT Ms. Letty; however them there donkeys aren't but a few months older then I and it took 'til John Elway to make 'em worth a fly'n @^%$*& in a donut hole in my entire Colorado Territory life....... Won a bunch of bucks bet'n against this QB'n too in the early days of the #7 era..... ESPECIALLY the XXI Super Bowl against that dc Team where they set ALL KINDS of RECORDS...... all NOT to be proud of..... :D :D :D :D :D
Raped the Donkey Fans of their $$$$$$ then..... ;D ;D ;D
#7 ISSSSsssss "Head Cheese" (not that Deli stuff) NOW I'm BECOMING a believer.... ;)
Let's seeee what the Baylor Wonder Boy will do against the Eli 2nite... ??? ??? ???
;D
-
He did okay and they won the game. E nuff said.
-
Heh, heh, heh..... He did a lot more'n New York wanted 'im ta do.
6 ‘n 6. Last evenin’s game’s over. Tough one comin’ up Sunday. One game at a time.
Hail.
-
Gotta say that game had ma attention ta the end. Thought the Skins might be in trouble after the fumble but they pulled it off. Griffin really frustrated the Giants defence, the boy is nimble.
-
He’s a hoot to watch. Think I wrote before he reminds me of Tarkenton ‘cept he can pull it down ‘n run better. When he does I cringe cuz sometimes he thinks he’s Alfred Morris ‘n tries ta run thru guys what’s a lot bigger’n he is.
-
Arcey, I cringed alot when he would run. He has frustrated many defensive coordinators since he came to Baylor. He was the heart and soul of that team for 4 years. I am glad that the Skins got him in the draft, they have needed a good QB for a long time.
-
Been watchin' that kid Kaepernick the same TLD, he was the heart & soul of the UNR team. He can scramble just like RG III.
Kinda sad Smith got the bench after gettin' hurt but that kid played outta his socks lately.
-
RGIII and Luck got most of the "press" in college ball last year. Weedun got some as well. I had not heard of the kid from UNR. Smith is due some big salary at the end of the year. SF could release him and the kid from UNR would be the starter. Vick will prolly be released by Philly at the end tof the year. They ain't gonna pay him that 13 million salary for next year.
-
Vick needs the job. His brother’s ‘bout to go to jail – again. But I suspect he’ll be alright away from football what with the fine education he has from tech……………..
Wish ya coulda heard Griffin afterwerds on post game radio coverage. Sonny Jurgensen asked if the fumble to Morgan was planned. ‘Oh yeahhhhhhhhhh, oh yeahhhhhhh, just the way we drew it up ‘n pulled it off. Touchdown.’ Jurgensen was chucklin’ ‘n so was Griffin.
-
Ya know yer over the hill ya remember watchin’ Joe Theismann on the suicide squad ‘n now ya see ‘im in commercials bemoanin’ prostate problems ‘n hawkin’ medication………………..
-
Was watchin ball with ma dad when his career ended. Twas half passed horrible, nuff so ta make a former Marine an football coach cringe.
-
Yeah, that was a bad one, Leo :o
Weeden's starting to get the drift of things now, especially since his receivers are improving along with him. Starting to look a little more promising. Luck had a rough game Sunday, tossed a couple INT's, so he's not fallible either ::)
-
Weeden was a pitcher in the Yankee farm system for a few years. He gave up on the pro baseball career. The coach at OSU developes QBs there. He was a QB there as a player and became head coach when Les Myles went to LSU.
-
I’ve managed to see Weeden once in a complete game, dallas. I saw the end of the Detroit game with Luck pullin’ it out Sunday. Only hunks of 49er games. Reckon the locals don’t wanna carry rookies apart from Griffin.
Happy the Texans ‘n Patriots are playin’ Monday night so they won’t have a choice. No rookie QBs but that should be a hell of a game.
-
The Texans have had a good defense for the last couple of years. The offense has started to come around since last year. The Pats don't have the edge in the AFC that they once had and Denver is much better since they got Manning this year. I'll be rootin' for the Texans on MNF.
-
Readin' NE over Houston by 3.5. I went with Houston in the straight up pool. MNF point total is the tie breaker. They have it set at 51.5, went with 50.
-
AFC West 2012 Champs @ Raiders 2nite!
Great Rivalry here..... Just isn't the same W/O Al Davis...... This game Denver usually looses {Den @ Oak}.... ;D
Lets see how that PRIDE thing works out for the Donkeys... ;) ;) ;)
72 Days to Bud Shootout...77 Days to Duels...80 Days to DAYTONA 500...... 8) 8) 8) 8)
15 Days to the Apocalypse.... :-\
-
I got to see some photos of Penske's Fords for 2013. The #2 is porting white wheels instead of yellow, the #22 is still painted in the Pennzoil colors. The front end of the new Fusion is more aerodynamic and the grill is bigger. I am sure the fabricators at Penske have been busy, turning Dodges into Fords.
-
26-13, not bad. Woulda liked ta a seen the game.
-
26-13, not bad. Woulda liked ta a seen the game.
I'm impressed...... Eight wins in a row.... ;) ;) ;) WOW!
What I seen of it before I konk'd out kind'da reminded me of that last NYG 'n dc team game.... :-\
'cept Palmer ain't NO Baylor Wonder Boy.... :D
a Win is a WIN!

I'm impressed...... Eight wins in a row.... ;) ;) ;) WOW!
What I seen of it before I konk'd out kind'da reminded me of that last NYG 'n dc team game.... :-\
Now I really wish I had seen it.
-
The Bengals are the Cowboy's next opponent. They've got a purdy good 2nd year QB in Andy Dalton. He played 4yrs at TCU in Fort Worth. I got to watch him in action, in person and on TV. He was that good in college. The Bengals drafted him in the 2nd round of the draft. They got a steal. He ought to do well against the porous Dallas secondary. The Browns drafted another TCU player, "Tank" Carter, a linebacker. He is playing on special teams for the Browns this year.
-
That’s why I cringe when he runs.
One more game ‘n the worse is 8 ‘n 8. All I wanted.
Hail
-
Have absolutely NO sympathy for Cincinnati nor Baltimore......
God's look'n after 'ol Mike Shanahan.......
Baylor Wonder Boy is on the fast track to lose'n his head....Ding Dong Ding Dong..... No Body's home....
-
Good on the Cowboys fer that win. Had a feelin they would pull it off, that last kick might as well had crosshairs tween the goal posts. In light of recent events there was a lot of extra pressure on the man ta get it just right.
Watching the turnover circus what is the Saints Giants game.
-
Good on the cowboys fer that win.
Watching the turnover circus what is the Saints Giants game.
They gotta way of pullin' games out. Didn't Thanksgivin' day. Heh, heh, heh.
With the locals here I ain't gotta choice ta watch anything but the Saints game.............................
-
Eli will pull it out and the G men will win another one. That 0-4 start for the Saints ruined their chances for the playoffs.
-
Defense... defense played hard on SF/ Miami game...Kaep pulled one of those Cam moves rushin' for 57 yrds for the last one... Arcey I've seen this kid soooooooo many times pull that off here at UNR. Still makes me cringe....
-
Brownies finally had a laugher. Skins next, wonder if RG III is gonna be able to play? ::)
-
The knee has a bad sprain. The backup did a fair job. The Offensive coordinator can pick plays for him to simplify his plan. He will do okay. I think they should keep RGIII out for the game against the Browns.
-
The self-diagnosis:
"I'm not a doctor, but I know what an ACL feels like," Griffin said before leaving to have MRI. "And it doesn't feel like an ACL. ... If I felt that, I'd be pretty nervous. But we won the game, everybody's praying for me, I feel pretty good right now about the whole situation."
Thought Cousins did a damned good job myownself.
Good luck, Buck. Thinkin' one of us is gonna be disappointed tho.
-
Wasn't sure the Pack was gonna do it, but they did. :)
Slim
-
Slim, The Pack offensive line needs to give Aaron some protection and time in the pocket.
-
Eli will pull it out and the G men will win another one. That 0-4 start for the Saints ruined their chances for the playoffs.
He did but he finally got called fer ditchin the ball, seen him do it many a time an started ta wonder if'n they had changed the rules.
-
Leo, Some of those refs will let you get by with more, while others are more strict. I needed that 2nd pot O'Cawffee this morning. It's about 34 now and this lap robe feels purdy good. Sausage biskits for breakfast. I'm gonna fix a big Fritos pie fer lunch. That should warm me up. I'm lookin' forward to the Texans/Pats game. I'm pullin' for the Texans. I hope they can put a lot of pressure on Brady.
-
It's an important game Pop an a good thing we got two TVs. Monday night is when Lil has ta watch bad singers try ta be the next big thing. She works hard so I don' take that away from her, just laugh when I walk through the other room.
-
Leo, If those network big shots were relying on me to watch American Idol, The Voice, or X factor, they would not be on the air any more. Reality shows don't fit my demographics.
-
I get under her skin by callin it American Midol.
-
Leo, The Cowboys next opponent is your Steelers this weekend. The Cowboys have to win all 3 of their last games.
-
The Cowboys have to win all 3 of their last games.
Have to? Will they go *poof* if they don't? I hope I hope I hope I hope I hope I hope.
Fat lady watches all kindsa crap. The NIS thing with a guy Tom Selleck's girl friend shot in the back in one of his TV things. Funny when they go ta Little Creek 'n there's mountains in the background. Little Creek's flat as a board 'n barely above mean high tide.
-
The Pats were leading the Texans, 21-0, and it wasn't even half time. I'm watching the NFR now.
-
Might stream it. Local radio's carryin' an NBA farm system game. Houston don't score first in the third I'm crashin'.
-
'N if the tv watchers really wanted to know Griffin's condition they wouldn't have to wait for the talkin' head. It's a grade 1 strain 'n the coach is playin' it close to the vest whether he'll start er not. News been on the 'net most the afternoon.
-
Arcey, I am for them resting him for the Browns game. They are still in the playoff hunt. I want him to be 100 percent when he comes back.
-
Yeah. Give 'im a rest.
Shouldn’t bet against the Patriots at home. Tryin’ for a pool buster. Weren’t it.
-
I didn't hear what the final score was, but Brady had the Texan defense bumfuzzled in the first half.
-
Kids dropped by las' las night so nobody watched nuthin, don't sound like I missed much.
-
42-14 were the final.
-
The Patgs seemed to have asserted themselves as the Number 1 team in the AFC. I guess the Number 2 is between the Broncos and the Texans.
-
Shanahan waited 'til the last minute ta officially stick Griffin on the inactive list. Had 'im out on the field warmin' up 'fore that. Doc Walker said he looked pretty good. Gamers.................
Grossman's dressed out. Hope Cousins stays healthy....
-
AFC West Champs play'n @ Da Ravens go'n for 9 straight here in a few....
that Monster LB Lewis is supposed to be back to quench that effort.....Pack & Bears is the other early game here... afternoon is Steelers & Caboys......
62 Days 'till Bud Shootout....67 Days to Duels....70 Days Daytona 500.... ;D ;D
5 days to the Apocalypse
:)
-
Little Bro and I have a bet on the Skins and Brownies. He said rg3 is out Browns will win by 3. I said as long as rg3 watches the game the Skins will win. I'd hate to send him the cost of a Pepsi. :o
-
LR, Cousins is doing okay right now. I am with Arcey, I hope they don't put Grossman in.
-
8 ‘n 8. Worse they can do now. All I wanted. Anything else is gravy.
Anyone ever ask why they took Cousins in the 4th when they already had Griffin, that’s why.
Great game, Eli. We'll enjoy the lead for at least a week.
-
The G-men had their butts handed to them and the Skins beat the Browns. I bet RGIII wil play next week, it's crunch time. The NFC is wide open.
-
I won't pick on 4I'dBucks Brownies too badly. What the hell happened to them. I thought the score would have been closer that the final. That brother of mine better get my $1.29 to me ;D
-
We got a close one goin Pop, anybodys' game.
-
Damn! They wanna buck twenty nine fer a Pepsi these days?
Think they figgered stoppin' Morris would be the way to handle it. Underestimated Cousins' ability to throw 'n couldn't adjust when the boy caught his groove. Started comin' apart when they stuffed the middle 'n the 'Skins let Cousins roll out. The bootlegs hurt.
Sorry it was Buck's team. I'd be happier if it was Jerry's team - again.
-
Damn! They wanna buck twenty nine fer a Pepsi these days? ;D
Sorry it was Buck's team. I'd be happier if it was Jerry's team - again.
I hear lots of that around these parts
-
It was a team effort. All three aspects were bad :-\ fans is raisin' doubts on Weeden now :o
-
It's a log jam in the NFC East. Jerry's Boys pulled another one at the last minute, literally. The Saints are here next Sunday. The Saints can be the spoiler next week with a victory over Dallas. They have nothing lose and everything to win. The Cowboys finish their regular season at DC with RGIII and the Skins.
-
Look'n like Monday Night Football the Saturday version gunna be a long night for them there Lions....
AFC West Champs vs 4I Buck's Brownies tomorrow.....10 straight?
;)
-
Broncos should win, but they have already clinched the division. I don't think that Payton will let them slip. Payton is like an extra coach when he is on the sidelines.
-

Haven't really noticed #18's MO before the Donkcos..... The man IS a freak'n 10 Star General!!! :o :o
The ONLY coach'n John Fox needs to do is: Put Peyton Manning on the field.... :D
HOWEVER:......... "Any Given Sunday" {now-a-days Mon, Thur, Sat too}..... Have to see how the final Season pans out to validate the Big Bucks!
P.S. Forgot to mention that it seems that our Hero of last year, Tim Tebow, get'n "pass-a-round-pack'd" again... too bad, a really good Joe...
:)
-
It looks like the Jacksonville Jags are Tebow's next stop. I hope he can help them get better next year.
-
I feel bad fer Tim gettin traded like a bubble gum card every season an bein knocked down ta second string. I've watched his career an he aint done nothin wrong compared ta any other QB.
-
Tebow will be appreciated elsewheres NYC is a rough crowd. Rumor has it Sanchez will be traded too.
Go Broncos !! Guy I work with lost a bet & had 'ta wear my Santa Bronco hat...his Raiders lost again
-
What’s a hoot is the rumor the Jets want Vick. Vick, thinkin’ he’s a starter, wants to go. Anyone puttin’ that injury prone never-been-never-will-be on the field when they have Tebow to work with gets what they deserve.
-
The other Vic rumor is he's headed to Airzona
-
Maybe the Jets want Vick? If they trade both Sanchez and Tebow, they could use Vick. I question Vick's durability, especially concerning concussions.
-
From the time the Falcons took ‘im he’s never started an entire season. Gets hurt every year. Except the two he spent in prison.
Let’s see. 9 ‘n 6. Who’d ah thunk it at the bye. For me, gravy. More than I asked for.
Hail.
-
Congrats on the Skins, was a good game.
-
Thank ya, sir. Feels kinda weird......
-
Congrats. to the Skins. I didn't get to watch any. The other team from Texas lost in overtime to the Saints. The Broncos are in the lead against the Browns. Weeden got hurt and Colt McCoy(UT) is playing in his place.
-
It wasn’t pretty. Griffin was in a knee brace killin’ his mobility. The Philadelphia’s team’s better than they were the last time. They had the ball in the closin’ seconds right at the goal line tryin’ to tie it up or win it with a two point conversion. Last play Foles was called for intentional groundin’ ‘n with the ten second run off the game was over.
Watch Foles. The boy could turn out to be a problem for the NFC East with some work. Big, strong ‘n an arm ‘n a half. Doesn’t move well right yet.
Right pleased with the Raven’s win.
-
Yep, You can stick a fork in the 2 teams from PA. The Broncos did good yesterday. Elway was on the sidelines with a big grin. He was the main reason they were able to sign Payton. I nominate Payton for Comeback Player of the Year. Arcey, I think they should have held RGIII out for the Philly game and give him more rest for the finale.
-
He wasn’t happy they benched ‘im last week ‘n weren’t shy ‘bout sayin’ so. Docs said he could go ‘n I think Shanahan’s scared of ‘im. Been up to me he’d been totin’ a clipboard yestitty.
Post game he said he felt great.
-
That knee brace impared his mobility in the game. He's a gamer and will play hurt. I want him to at his best for the game against Dallas in the regular season finale.
-
Brownies really laid an egg at Mile High, ended up with Weeden and Richardson hurt. on the way out( Shurmur) is sayin' he's gonna play both of them against Pittsburg. Dumb, just put McCoy and the other two runners out there and get it over with, and pack his bags. Haslam will can him sure as God made little green apples :-\
-
:)
MERRY CHRISTMAS!
53 Days 'till Bud Shootout, 58 Days 'till Duels, 61 Days 'til DAYTONA 500... ;D
Apocalypse zero plus 4 days..... Have to see what the Millerites are up to....
Well there are a bunch of Division Champs now..... "bout the only undecided is a Cowboys & Indians game..... Wounded Knee or Lil Bighorn.....still doesn't look good for Custer.....
Baylor Wonder Boy better start like'n that impaired mobility thing or that helmet will be a Brain Bucket.... Wilson slides at least....
;D
-
He has learned how to slide, now he must learn when to slide.
-
Looks like that Baylor team will be play'n UCLA in the Holiday Bowl here shortly.........Cincinnati 'n Duke have ta finish first..
;)
-
Yep, The Bears put a whuppin' on the Bruins. The refs felt sorry for the Bruins and gave them the TD at the end of the game. The replay showed their runner did not get in. Final score 49-25.
-
More fall out from the Broncos game, McCoy got hurt as well. Looks like Thad Lewis will start( 3rd string). richardson didn't practice either. Might be better if they stay at home for this one. Steelers will probably take their frustration out on'em ::) :-\
-
The Steelers have lost 2 straight missed the playoffs. The Browns will bare the brunt of the Steelers wrath.
-
I'm sure both teams will go down swinging.
-
Kinda hope the Steelers lose for lettin’ Jerry whatizname’s team beat ‘em. No offense, Leo. Don’t remember the last time they had a losin’ season. They will if the Browns pull it off.
Playin’ under the sky. My kinda football weather bein’ predicted. Grass field makes it all the better.
-
I see Virginia Tech came from a behind at half time to win in yesterdays "whatever bowl"
-
The Hokies got off to a slow start. I put a big pot of Cawffee on the fire for the folks that are up and awake.
-
Paper said 13-10 in OT. Sounds like a slow finish too.
-
Start the morn'n off with Air Force n' Rice.....Armed Forces bowl.....Bell Helicopters as sponsors... :)
-
Yep, They're playing that one at TCU stadium in Fort Worth. Perfect football weather, it's 28 outside. I hope they have a good turnout for the game.
-
That ball has a little extra sting ta the hands at 28 degrees. Anybody bother ta count how many whatever bowls there is now? I lost track in the late 70s.
I'll keep pullin fer the Steelers Arcey even though that were a bad showin las' time.
-
Boy Howdie does that ball sting at freeze'n! :o :o FREAK'n OUCH w/ froze hands....
Looks like 35 Bowls now-a-days Master Tanner:
http://espn.go.com/college-football/story/_/id/8048429/2012-13-bowl-schedule
-
We got at least 2 more games tonight involving teams from Texas. Texas plays Minnesota and TCU plays Michigan State. Arcey's Skins play the other Team from Texas for the NFC East title on Sunday night.
-
???
Looks like that Air Force team has just TWO families play'n on it..... B2-Spirit & F22-Raptor!
:D
-
Wow 35 now. Seemed like all there was bafore was the rose bowl an the sugar bowl. I remember when they started the pinapple un but aint never heard a the Idaho famous tater bowl. Some other uns on the list that don't seem right either.
-
Follow the money, Leo. The schools make a small fortune off the bowl things. ODU's goin' into their fourth year 'n they're politicin' for a game already.
Pay the kids for playin' 'n stop the foolishness.
-
I'll remember that next time I pass by a Chik-fil-a.
-
There's a wing place 'n a go daddy thing too..........
-
:D
:D
:D
Back in the day not too long ago was all kinds of "Chips" bowls and a toco one too....
always made me thursty for MORE BEER!
Remember the "Frito Bandito"? Don't think he had a Bowl.... ;D

I made a mistake, Texas is playing Oregon State at San Antonio, Texas is behind. Texas Tech p lays Minnesota and our hometown team , TCU is playing Michigan State after the Texas/Oregon State is over.

Brownies are starting' Thad Lewis tomorrow, no Richardson either. Steeler's will probably have a field day. rumore are flying all over that Shurmer and Heckert are going to be canned Monday. Might be some huge personnel changes as well. Couple popular guys are are amongst those on the block ::) :-\

Y’all er welcome ta Jim Haslett if ya need a DC. Ya don’t want ‘im, but yer welcome to ‘im anyway. I’m on a ‘promote Raheem Morris’ campaign.
Had me a chuckle last evenin’. Stepped out inta the attached ‘n the voice out there was talkin’ ‘bout ‘the only real bowl game.’ Sounded just like someone we know.

TX teams show'd great play'n in these bowl games...... FUN to watch! ;D ;D ;D
Bears 'n Lions also TX'ns 'n Colts start the day here 'till the Chiefs 'n Donkcos play this afternoon......
Cowboys 'n Indians tonight.... ;)
That's scheduled here in the Colorado Territory..... 8)

Broncos #1 SEED would be....beat the Chiefs & TX'ns lose to the Colts......

A football game might break out durr'n the MIA & NE snowball fight in Foxborough...... ;D

Texas won a close one and TCU lost a close one. Rice beat Air Force. It was a late night for us. The big Dallas/Redskins game is on Sunday Night Football. Football snacks are planned for tonight.
-
Was hopin’ the Philadelphia team would win. That would hurt the Giants ‘n possibly negatively impact the green team’s draft status.
The Giants are far enough ahead the local has switched to the Bears game. Oh well.
Was fun watchin’ the best quarterback that ever lived, ask ‘im, get chased down from behind.

Huston did their part now it's ALL in the Broncos' hands.... ::)

The Texans have lost some of their "MOJO" the couple of games. The Broncos made the first TD looke easy. If the Chiefs lose today, they get the Number One Draft Pick. We're getting the Broncos game and that's okay with me.
-
CBS is carryin’ the Patriots game o’er this way. The Packers on Fox.
Conflicts, regional coverage ‘n such, ain’t seen Peyton Manning play a live down the whole season.

Payton just threw an interseption and the Chiefs took it deep but could not score a TD. had to settle for a field goal.

Oppps.....

Foxborough looked allot dryer on the tube watch'n the end of MIA & NE then the weather folks was show'n this morning.... ???
Cowboys & Indians next.... ;)

Slim's Packers got beat by the Vikes, which eliminated the Bears. One last game left, Cowboys/Redskins. Cowboys will be eliminated with a Redskin win.

3 & 6. 7 straight ain't easy in this league. 10 & 6. NFC East Champions. Unreal.
Split with the Giants. Swept the Philadelphia team 'n the one tonight. They're all finished for the season.
Thinkin' I said anything over 8 & 8 was gravy for me. I done been drenched.
Nothin' 'n nothin' now. Start all over. Whatever happens I'm damned proud.

Well, Romo lived up to my expectations. Congrats to the Skins. RGIII is playing hurt, but he's still a great player. I hope he enjoyed Baylor's victory over UCLA last night.

Hang in there, Buck. Miracles happen.
It's true 'n real. Wuz up way too long, crashed ‘n when I woke up the news was still there just like I remembered. NFC East Champions. Just bought the tee shirt. 2 XL so it’ll fit o’er anything. Not so much as a souvenir - nope. Lookin’ ta rub it in ta some my dearest Philadelphia ‘n Dallas acquaintances. Gonna be good at it too. They've taught me well o'er the past few seasons.
NFL Man of the Year ‘n MVP - Tony Romo.

Arcey, I am sure that there a lot of folks that Luck should be the Rookie of the Year. I cast my vote for RGIII as the Rookie of the Year and MVP of the NFC.
-
I predicted an 8-8 record for the Cowboys this year, they didn't disappoint me, just like last year (8-8). They spent all that money on free agents and big contracts for the other players, and still not any better of a record from last year. They need to fire the general manager and hire someone that know something about fottball operations.

No argument. But I might be just a little biased.

Shurmer and Heckert got the axe( like it was totally unexpected ::))Start all over from ground zero again. That's what's wrong up there, no continuity >:(
About four others got sacked around the league as well, including Andy Reid ::)

Chan Gailey(Bills), Romeo Crinnell(Chiefs), Norv Turner(Chargers), Lovie(Bears), Schmur(Browns), Andy Reid(Eagles), and the Arizona Cardinals(?).

Arizona Cardinals head coach Ken Whisenhunt and general manager Rod Graves......fired

Whisenhunt(Cardnials). One more firing would have made 25 per cent of the in the NFL coaches being fired this year.
-
We love you, Romo - Oh yes we do
We love you, Romo - And we’ll be true
When you’re not near to us - We’re blue
Oh Romo we love you
Oppps.... Heh, heh…. ‘Skooze me….
Turner……………… The SOB was still that other team’s payroll when he was in DC. Maybe he'll get a job in Philadelphia.
-
I think Norv is holding out for the Dallas job. I figger that Jerry will give Garrett one more year before he gets fired. Those Philly fans are tough, I think they would want Norv as the Coach. Other than Andy Reid, the other firings don't rate another head coaching job right now.
-
Jerry’s gotta great team ‘n staff. I were him I wouldn’t change a thing.
-
Arcey, I hope you meant that as a joke! Jerry knows just enough about football to be dangerous, after all he did attend the University of Arkansas.
-
Can't think of another team I'd rather play.
On this end, Allen 'n Shanahan managed ta convince Snyder to keep his hands off it. Mebbe Jones should step down 'n hire Andy Reid as GM.

The Heart of Dallas Bowl?
Schools from Indiana ‘n Oklahoma?
They're lost?

Yep, The boys from Zero U got their butts handed to them by TAMU. I am not an OU fan, so I especially enjoyed it.

I've been watching the Bengals-Texans game. The Bengals are holding their own against the Texans. The Texans have too much offense for the Bengals defense. The Bengals QB, Andy Dalton can't seem to get untracked. They held the Texans to 3 field goals in the first half. The Texans just scored, early in the 3rd quarter. The Texans lead 16-7. I am rooting for the Bengals to win. The QB for the Bengals(Dalton) played for TCU and he played HS ball at Katy, Tx which is a suburb of Houston.
-
TX'ns have awakened for the second season.... Still pretty shakey.. ::) ::) :-\
Green Bay host'n them there Vikings inna a few.... Pretty sure GB will run that roost... ;)
Tomorrow I do believe that the Ravens will be pick'n colt bones and the team from Washington State will take the Washington Squatter State team {Battle of the Wonder Boys}.... ;) ;) ;)
-
My Bengals came up short against the Texans. The odds are against the Vikings beating the Pack two weeks in a row. The Vikings are also starting the backup QB. Ray Lewis will play for the Ravens tomprrow which should boost the Ravens "mojo". I am hoping that the Skins will beat the Seahawks.
-
Congrats to the Texans and Packers on their victories yesterday. I'll be rooting for SHB's Colts and Arcey's Skins for today's games.
-
I was pullin’ for the Pack. But it kinda stinks for the Vikings to lose Ponder for the game. Rather seen the Pack beat ‘em with Ponder playin’. With Webb they could key on Peterson ‘n shut ‘im down without werrin’ ‘bout the passin’ game.
Good luck with the 49ers, Slim. The Seahawks figgered Kaepernick out. Good luck with the 49ers, Slim. The Seahawks figgered Kaepernick out. Ya get ‘em down a couple scores he can’t bring ‘em back.
-
Arcey, The Skins seem to be holding their own. RGIII hurt his hand on a helmet and hurt his knee again. He will be banged up for next week's game, if they win today.
-
He’ll have the off season to heal up. It was a good run. Hold the division title ‘n enjoy it. I know I will.
-
Sorry fer the loss, Cousins got clobbered. Don't think he was expecting ta see play so late in the game. I imagine the team may start shoppin fer a new center.
-
Time to move on...... Shanahan isn't a slacker.... "Wait 'til Next Year".... ;)......::)
Phase II of the second season:
Starts here in the Colorado Territory with the Ravens as the weather folks are say'n some snow and a 23 degree high... ;D ;D
Frozen Chicken legs..... Lewis in ssslllllloooowwww motion... :D :D

Pick'n the Catholic Boys to be BCS Champs tomorrow night.... 8)

-
Arcey, I am sorry Skins didn't win today. RGIII needed to b at 100% to have a chance. He was definitely one responsible for their success this year. I wish him a speedy recovery. I can't find a NFC East T-shirt big enough to fit me. I am hoping the Falcons take care of the Seahawks next week. They gotta have the ugiliest uniforms in the league, especially those green shoes. I hope Payton and the Broncos can end the Ravens playoff run, The Pack needs to whup the boys from "Shakytown", and The Texans need to whup Brady and the Pats.
-
Have to see how bad RG III's knee is. Might end up making him a different QB ::)
-
I’ll be joinin’ Slim ‘n the Packers for as long as it goes. That said I wish the Texans well ‘n it’d be a hoot to see Manning pick up a second ring. I can identify with the neck surgery thing too.
Lotta big question marks on Griffin. Have ta wait ‘n see. Tryin’ not ta be too critical of Shanahan but he shouldn’t have left him on the field. Griffin is a remarkable player healthy. Cousins is better than a Griffin of diminished capacity. But what’s done is done ‘n 2013 starts in July, just ‘round the corner.

He’ll be alright. Ya gotta like the spirit but he’s gotta hard head, harder'n the knee anyways. Maybe this’ll help with that.
Next year when he takes off I'll still cringe............................

Arcey, Both of his parents are retired Army, so I am sure his upbringing was structured. He is fearless when he takes off, maybe he has a Superman suit underneath his uniform.

Bama isn't losing too many to the NFL draft in 2013. They will be in the hunt again for the National Championship. The new ND coach has aspirations for the NFL, he may be gone soon anyway.

What’s funny is the Alabama folks are playin’ VT in the season opener. The VT fan the pilot pays as a reporter submitted these tweets yestitty.
The Alabama coach wrote:
"Two days from now, we've got to start on next year." Nick Saban. #Hokies #Bama 8/31/13 in Atlanta
In response a VT player, Antone Exum or ‘ISWAG1’ wrote:
"He a couple days late. I already started working!"
The fan/reporter wondered if ole ‘Swag’ tipped his hand that he’ll be playin’ as a senior next year. I’m right sure he tipped his hand showin’ he ain’t an English major.
The ODU head coach banned the use of Twitter by his personnel. Wonder if he had something like that in mind.

“Not a skins fan, however, RGIII is a very exciting and dynamic player and with an exceptionaly personality. Looks like Shanahan and the skin's medical staff need to step up and explain their decision to allow RGIII on the field. YOu simeply do not risk a knee injury to a franchise player for the sake of a playoff game.”
Another VT English major?
-
Arcey, The knee surgery that he had done in 09, didn't seem to affect his mobility at Baylor. This new knee surgery may be a horse of a different color. Rehab is most important as well as coming back to play too soon.
-
I'm optimistic. He's got as good as they come ta cut 'n rehab 'im. Got youth too. Peterson's strong as ever.
Got some folks all POed o’er the no-go basketball thing. Tolt ‘em ‘n tolt y’all a long time ago sumbody was usin’ duh beach as leverage. Guess they fergot Norfolk’s “leader” chasin’, I think it was the team in Charlotte now, ‘round like a l’il puppy.

Grass fields this time of the year are all subject to knee injuries.
-
Arcey, The wheels of change have started by the other team from Texas. Jerry fired the RB coach last week and he fired Rob Ryan, the DC, on Tuesday. I think that I would have my bags packed if I were a coach for the Boys, even if I was the head coach thingy,(Jerry is the real coach as well as GM). Romo needs to be the next one replaced.
-
Thanks.
Didn’t know there were issues with the RB coach. Don’t wanna see Romo replaced.
-
Ulterior motive, there, Arcey? :D
-
Awwwwwwwwww, c'mon, Buck. Ya know I have the best interests of the team from down there at heart.
-
Arcey, If you feel that way, I'll give you Romo for Cousins, straight up even.
-
Arcey, I've been watching this preseason thunder on Espn. The #20 and the #11 are the class of the field. I think that Kenseth will make that team better this year.
-
Arcey, This test session at Daytona is whetting my appitite for NASCAR 2013. It's making the 500 seem closer. I enjoy seeing the new drivers and the new car numbers. It seems strange to see Kenseth driving the 20 and seeing the 2 and 22 as Fords, not Dodges.
-
Let’s talk the trade when the Sacramento basketball team comes ta duh beach, Tex..
Gonna try’n take a look at some testin’ this afternoon. The static shots of the cars look kinda decent ta me. Ain’t much of a Fiat type but the shots of the Chargers ‘n the thought of ‘em sittin’ out’s damned sad.
-
Brownies hired a new coach, Rod Chudzinsky(SP?). New O coordinator, D coordinator stays the same I believe. First time head again. They just can't get anybody high powered ::) :-\
-
Arcey, there is a chance the Kings will take their ball and go home...ta Seattle. Guy up there out bid the beach but the magoofs are bein shady about it as usual.
-
What we're hearin' is Seattle wants to buy the franchise. This side's declared the deal dead. The esteemed mayor has lied about it twice 'n now he's wantin' to build the arena ennyways.
-
I sorta hate to see football season end. The long, boring basketball season begins and it never seems to end. I am ready to Daytona to get here.
-
I don't like basket ball an I jus' want em ta go away but not ta curse VA with a bunch a kids in baggy shirts clutterin the streets. Magoofs er waitin ta see how high the biddin gets cause their agenda is ta git nuff money ta build a Trump style tower in downtown Sac that nobody wants.
Cherishin the last NFL playoff games comin up. I'll be outta town fer the super bowl.

Not keen on Pro basketball either, Leo ::)
Arcey, it's be kinda hard to get lucky at the Starbucks here. Lot is out front,and, there's a LOT of traffic ::) :o :D
-
OOOppps, crossed threads :o ;)
-
Arcey, I just heard on the computer that they had a big wreck at the test session at Daytona and tooki out a bunch of the test cars. Mosrt of the teams only brought one car, so I guess that a lot of the teams are done.
-
Heck, Buck. Sports is sports……………..
Don’t care for basketball either. Ya get ten guys in their underwear. One guy dunks it the other team gets it ‘n they dunk it the other guys get it ‘n they dunk it again. It’s like tennis with squeaky shoes. I could care less for it if these “leaders” we’re stuck with confiscate money from me to pay for it.
Had some stuff ta do outside after errands. When I got back they were talkin’ to Logano but I missed that’n. From what I caught he ‘n Smith got tagether.
Saw the hendrick R&D driver run over Ambrose ‘n end up takin’ out the 5 'n 24. Too bad. Hated ta see that.
-
They ended up with about 10 new cars tore up. It happened real quick, Junebug was pushing Ambrose, abd Ambrose got loose and turned into other folks.
-
Doin’ my after dinner readin’ - SI. Logano ‘n Smith were in the same one, the twelve car mess. I couldn’t sit ‘n watch that much. Musta been a replay of the interview I saw. I stand corrected.
Decent article but kinda long so I cut some. The credit ‘n link to the whole thing’s on the bottom.
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (AP) -- New cars, same results at Daytona International Speedway.
Dale Earnhardt Jr. started a 12-car accident at Daytona on Friday that essentially shut down a three-day test session designed to hone NASCAR's redesigned cars. Stock-car racing's most popular driver was trying to bump draft with Marcos Ambrose on the back straightaway when he lifted Ambrose "like a forklift" and turned him into the wall. Ambrose's Ford bounced back across the track and triggered a pileup that collected a host of others.
"It was a big mess and tore up a lot of cars down here trying to work on their stuff," Earnhardt said. "Definitely the drafting is not like it used to be. You can't really tandem certain cars; certain cars don't match up well."
Two of Earnhardt's Hendrick Motorsports teammates, Jeff Gordon and Kasey Kahne, also were involved. So were defending Sprint Cup champion Brad Keselowski, new teammate Joey Logano, Carl Edwards, Kyle Busch, Jamie McMurray, Martin Truex Jr., Aric Almirola and Regan Smith.
The new cars have considerably less downforce than their predecessors and perform differently on the track. The previous models had identical designs that made it easier for bump drafting because the front and rear bumpers lined up squarely.
But with redesigned parts in low supply as vendors try to keep up with demands, many teams came to Daytona without backup cars. Drivers took a cautious approach to the test, trying to gain information about speed and handling while hoping to avoid the kind of huge wrecks typically associated with racing in tight-knit packs at nearly 200 mph.
NASCAR asked teams to simulate race conditions Friday by forming the large drafting packs, and there were 18 cars on the track when Earnhardt triggered the big one.

If it aint broke DON'T FIX IT.
-
Nascar is trying to make the race cars look more like what is on the showroom floor. The bumpers don't match up very good and the "bump draft' will be a thing of the past.
-
It was broke in a business sense. Things have to change, there’s money to be made thru planned obsolescence.
I’m tickled with the looks of this ‘Gen-6’ thing but many of us would like to see what Edwards suggested durin’ the wing vs. spoiler debates - put stock bodies on ‘em without the aero stuff. Change the body styles when the manufacturer changes ‘em. If ya can’t put it in a corner as fast as it’ll go put it in the corner as fast as you have the talent ‘n ‘nads to push it. No matter what NASCAR does people are gonna whine about it anyway.
Therein lays the rub. With each souvenir sold NASCAR gets a cut. With stock profile cars the lack of talent of two of the most profitable salespersons would be magnified ‘n that could have a negative impact on sales.
When the cars are ‘fixed’ the body styles change. It’s become predictable. All new designs hit the track. And, the most important part – brand new die casts, ball caps, tee shirts, items ad nauseam are in the trailers, stores ‘n online. Stuff made in china the self styled ‘’Merican good ole boys’ waste all kindsa money on to support their guy.

The only way to beat the Pats is to keep Brady off the field. Congrats to the Ravens and Ray Lewis. SF may be too much for Slim's Packers, right now it don't look good for the Pack.
-
WOW!... Them 49er's want to win the Super Bowl.... Look Really Good!
-
Congrats to the Ravens and the 49ers on thie big wins today. I was rooting for the Broncos and the Packers to win. I hope I don't put the who-doo on the teams that I am rooting for. I will root for the Falcons and Texans today.
-
Guess I gotta share the responsibility of jinxin’ the Pack. Sorry, Slim. Weren’t intended. Be circlin' Atlanta 'n New England on the sheet. Like ta see Houston do it but it's gonna be a tall order. Seattle can be beat. The 2012 NFC East Champions, Washington Redskins (y'all know I gotta toss that in e'er now 'n again - no brag, just fact) jumped all o'er 'em 'n had 'em with a healthy QB.
Peyton Mannin’ tossin’ the interception late was reminiscent of the pick six by the Saints in the Super Bowl a few years ago. Twas a great season he had in Denver but there’s somethin’ ta be said fer one ‘Awwwwwwww, crap!’ wipin’ out a lotta ‘attaboys.’
-
Arcey, I hope that Slim don't hate us too much. I ain't liked the 49ers since Montana played for them. Any team with uniforms as ugly as Seattle's don't need to be seen public.
-
Any team with uniforms as ugly as Seattle's don't need to be seen public.
That there is a pro-found truth if I e'er saw one.

On that note..... I'll join the Patron Saint of "lost causes", St. Jude, to ride the Sea Squawks to the Super Bowl... ;D ;D ;D

I too would like to see Kubiak's team win but gotta, as the Chickens did, bring the A-game w/ boat load of heart... ;)

Reason the Pack lost was cuz the other game ran long an we was all distracted from focusin full attention on em. No jinxes in here.

5 & 24 then the 88 & 48..... ;D ;D ;D ;D
-
He's 5, good age fer bunk beds. Prolly already got em.
Hope Atlanta keeps this push goin. Rodgers is like a bull dozer.
-
Let's hope the Falcons can keep it up and beat the Seahawks in the 2nd half as well. The Falcons have gotta score more points and the Seahawks on the sidelines as much as possible.
-
Holdin ma breath right now.
-
Wow!
-
Well, The Falcons eeked out a win against the Seahawks. Congrats to the Falcons. They will have to bring their "A" game against the 49ers.
-
Only two pro games I saw live in the stadium were Falcons vs niners. Falcons lost both times but that was many moons ago.
-
I saw the St. Louis Cards play the Cowboys once in Cowboy Stadium in Irving. I've been to Jerryworld 3 times to watch Bull riding, no football games. I will not be a Cowboy fan until Jerry sells the team, which won't ever happen.
-
Somewhere I got a pitcher of me an Steve Barkowski outside of Candlestick when I was a young fat kid. By luck a the draw his road room mate was a lineman my dad coached in school so we got free tickets when they was in town. I know those two ex players will be watchin the comin game real close.
-
I am glad that I won't have to look that them UGLY Seahawk uniforms, especially them lime green shoes. Those look like clown shoes, especially in the larger sizes.

LOL... Do you have that Clown Phobia TLD?........ Especially scary with big lime green shoes.... :D :D
-
I hate clowns but I guess it runs in the blood.
Pats seem ta have the upperhand but stranger things have happened.
-
Two early games this week end been tough acts to follow.
-
It looks like the 49ers vs the Pats for the Super Bowl. I don't have a dog in the fight, so I may not watch it. Maybe I can find some war movies or John Wayne movies to watch instead. I can take em or leave em, as far as Clowns go. We have a Clown unit in the Shriners group I belong to.
-
I'll be at a concert in Reno the day bafore an drivin home superbowl Sunday. If I get home in time I might switch it on but I doubt it.
-
Leo, Who are you gonna see in concert in Reno?
-
If he says ‘yes’ I’m gonna chuckle ‘til next week…..
-
Let's not get into a Abbott and Costello routine, but Who is on the 2nd not on the 1st!

I agree that it'll be the the Pat's & 49er's down in NNnnnnnnaaahhhhhlllinnnnssss......
Would be a hoot if the brothers squared off...
Think'n the Shriners down TLD's way can get some lime green shoe pretty easily since Seattle will not be need'n them.... ;)
Fine Cultured folks like Master Tanner would NOT waste time on "Yes" but he might enjoy "The Who" or "Pink Floyd"... ;D ;D
-
Field assignments got changed this season. Who is on second an I dunno is on first. Anyone shows up on the third is gonna look at an empty lot an say What? Prolly the las' an only chance I'll get ta see em so ma wife bought the tickets way back in July. Got a little gal gonna house sit with the dog an I'll ask 'er ta tape the game cause we don' have DVR. Depends on the results a the next games.
-
That’s great, Leo. Good on the two of ya. Like to see that myownself. CD in the station wagon yestitty hit Pinball Wizard ‘n Eminence Front on the way to the grocery.
BTW, I have the entire autograph collectable series Geritol bottles.
-
Yours or theirs, Arcey? ::) ;)
-
I forgot, Buck....................
-
Leo, I hope you and Lil have a good time. Moose and I used to go to Billy Bob's to see folks play. Two come to mind, Junior Brown, and Asleep at the Wheel. It got too noisy for my ears, just listen to FM and satellite radio now days.
-
Should be fun, never been ta a big show with the little gal bafore. I don't think these fellas can make another lap after this un. I perciate em for slappin me on the head when I get ta feelin old.
-
Leo, You are still a young whippersnapper.

NFL.com - ‘Can Chip Kelly save Michael Vick's career with Eagles?’
‘Kelly's version of the read-option emphasizes speed across the field and up-tempo pace. Vick certainly brings speed and athleticism to the position. Kelly said he's watched Vick throughout his career, so he's very familiar and fond of the quarterback's unique abilities. Still, he wants to watch tape and evaluate.’
YeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeHaw! Hang on ‘n start ‘im, Chipper!
-
Arcey, I've been busy, did Kelly leave Oregon and go to the Eagles? If he did, he made a big mistake.
-
That’s what they tell me, mi amigo.

-
So much for "I'm staying at Oregon" ::) :o
-
The Ducks are poised for a run forn the National Championship. The Eagles are a lost cause. Eagle fans are the worst.
-
So this is like, more than 100 pages long, and there's no way I'm going to read all of that to get the skinny on who's pulling for what... I'm just popping in to say that this Superbowl I'm throwing a huge party (bigger than last year), and I'm HOPING that it's the Ravens vs. Whoever (I don't rightly care).
I know the Pats are probably going to take it, but I can hope for the Ravens, right? I mean, my (S)Aints didn't make it this go round... So yeah.
Anyway, game is in Naw'lins, and the PREGAME is what I'm really looking forward too. Should be much, much jazz!
-
The only reason that they are having the game in New Orleans is to revive the sagging economy of New Orleans and Louisana. The Super Dome is old and outmoded compared to the other indoor arenas. They couldn't pay me enough money to walk through the French Quarter, even armed, and with an armed escort.

Oh come now! I enjoy Naw'lins, man. French Quarter is one of my favorite places! The music scene is just AMAZING.
And the fact you can walk around p*ssed as h*ll in public, just so long as you've got a plastic (not glass) cup!
-
I've been to the French Quarters when I was younger and I haven't lost anything down there. I will be watching the game in my den on my flat screen TV.
-
Oh, same here, same here. Mostly because I'm too cheap to fly down there, though. I like the warmth of my nice, warm home, and my 40" 1080p HDTV with 20w Speaker System. I don't miss any of the action. ;)
Just trying to come up with a good menu for like, a party of 5...
-
I don't have a dog in the fight. I would like to see Atlanta beat SF for the NFC title. I don't think the Ravens have a chance against the Pats at home. It would be nice to see the Ravens win against the Pats. I've got some ideas for Super Bowl snacks.
-
Lookin’ forward to the game. It doesn’t matter where it’s played I’ll see it here same as the fun ‘n games from Daytona. There’s nothin’ in New Orleans I want to see personally. Travel money’s best spent elsewhere. Las Vegas comes to mind
Speakin’ of the ‘Chocolate City,’ I see Ray Nagin’s been indicted on bribery charges. Imagine that.
Be guessin' New England 'n San Fransisco. Hope I'm wrong on both.
-
;D ;D RACE DAY!!! in:
27 Days: Bud Shoot OUT!....32 Days DUELs.....35 DAYS ta DAYTONA 500... ;D ;D ;D
Pat's 'n Chickens gunna be like the last Chicken dance..... Ravens w/ points.. Field Goal win for the Chickens maybe.. ???
49ers w/o a doubt..... Atlanta continued 'cause Oregon had the Squawks lime-green Clown shoes for 1st half... ::) ::)
Will be a sad game.... :-\ :-\ :-\
Bones feel a "Sibling Rivalry" Bowl...chuckled at the thought a few weeks ago.....too real now... 8)
-
I am ready for the Super Bowl to get here, than means the the fun and games at Daytona are not far behind. New cars, New teams, and New drivers, It should be fun to watch.
-
49ers spot'n Atlanta 17 pts in the 1st is Just Wrong... :P :P :P :P
:D
-
Well, it's the second quarter, Falcons are up by 3 AND have possession of the ball... I've seen games go awry from that before, but I WOULD like to see them beat SF. Just because I don't much care for them.
Still trying to get a menu for the big game together...
-
I really enjoyed Atlanta's push in the early game. Looks like another cliff hanger.
-
Got the makin’s for ‘nother good finish goin’.
Daytona should be fun. What I’m lookin’ forward to is April ‘n Martinsville. That’s gonna be a riot.
-
Arcey, I am hoping that Kenseth is competative in the 20 car this year. Logano just never was as competative as Tony was in the 20. I just have got any interest in the ball game today. I've been watching murder mysteries today.
-
:P :-\ :P
49ers had to lay down for the first quarter to make this game interesting.... ::) ::) ::)....MARKETING or black-sox ??? ??? ???
Break out the snacks an' beer for a REAL game....... See if the Chickens make it a Harbaugh square off... 8)
.
::)
-
Ya missed a decent game, Tex.
Thinkin’ Kenseth won’t miss a stride from where he’s been. The car ‘n support’s solid. It’ll be good out of the box. Logano had too much expected of ‘im too quick. He said as much in a recent interview.
-
I thought just mebbe...but accourse NO.
-
I haven't been a 49er fan since before Montana played for them and I don't like the Pats either. No Super Bowl game watching for me. I am sure I can find a John Wayne or an old WW2 movie to watch. There's also my DVD collection. I will survive.
-
Followin' the local college kid Kapernick since Manning went down swingin' last week.
This kid is a "cool customer" under pressure, shown it many times.

But from the looks of things right now, the Ravens will be playing the 49ers! I mean, yeah, a lot can happen in 7 minutes, but come on, Ravens are up 15!

There Ya Go.... CAN't Ignore it any more folks....Bone's was Right! :D :D :D
"Harbaugh BOWL I"
NASCAR:
All this smooze'n on each other 'bout who's gunna do what for whom is a bunch of BS..... ::) ::) ::)

Without a doubt NO ONE has the set-ups figured out.....The "wall" is gunna be BUSY for all... ;) ;) ;)
New face most likely the 2013 Champ.... :-\ :-\ :-\
I'll be holler'n for the 88 as usual and ya'll will be pi$$'n all over the 48...24....5....HMS...as usual... ::)

I don't have anything against Junebug or Kane, I just don't like Wonder Wimp, 5-time, and Tricky Rick. I guess I will be watching the Super Bowl after All. I wanna see the Ravens beat the 49ers.

You and my whole household. Everyone here is going to be pulling for the Ravens. They're the team responsible for our being into football in the FIRST bally place, so yeah...
-
Nevermore……..
They’re showin’ an early spread of -4 points for San Francisco ‘n a 50 point over/under.
I gotta like a team that holds New England to 13 points in New England. Besides that the Ravens are a lot closer to home than the other place. Ravens.
-
Oh, great! The Ex-Browns are in again, and Farty Artie's up for the HOF. Just browns my skillet :-\
-
Sorry, Buck. No offense intended. Let me make it a l’il clearer…
►I gotta like a team that holds◄ Cut that.
Replace with ►Gotta like the chances of a team that holds◄ New England to 13 points in New England. Besides that the Ravens are a lot closer to home than the other place. Ravens.
-
Ravens. Come on an do it.
Arcey, looks we both lucked out on the orange ball team, deal was sealed this mornin an they is headed up north. MaGoofs caved an Sac wouldn't match Mr. Seattle's offer fer controlin innerest. Good riddance.
Lookin forward ta seein how the drivers adjust ta the new cars, should be innerestin after the results a the practice runs.
-
We should split a bottle of Dom Pérignon, mi amigo. Perhaps a wedge of mild cheddar. A celebratory treat to accompany a rare victory.
Our side failed to defeat the referendum on the rail bound bus. The third grade, na-na-na-na-boo-boo, name calling crowd infesting the forum wrote, among other extremely clever and original phrases, “get over it.”
Those same individuals were equally gracious and understanding in response to the news of the basketball team. Someone I know well took great pleasure in suggesting they – get over it. Quite a laugh erupted with each thumbs down received.
-
I hope the boys enjoy the rain, all I can say. Guess I got over it right fast.
-
We've got the 4 major sports league covered, We got the Mavericks, Dallas Stars, Texas Rangers(baseball team), and last but not least, Jerry's Cowboys. I watch the baseball more than the others. I played baseball from grade school thru college.
-
A great many ‘homers,’ of which I’m one, don’t want any of it here if we have to pay for it. If it was such a great deal to stick a team here the owners can foot the bill.
Those affectionately known as ‘come-heres’ seem to have some problem with their manhood if they don’t live in a city with a choo-choo ‘n a pro sports team. They get really nasty ‘n call ya names ‘n such.
The thing is it strung ‘em long, as it did with our ‘leaders,’ 'n the losers hit ground kinda hard. The team now playin’ in Charlotte ‘n the one leavin’ Leo behind used this area as leverage. That’s all it was from the beginnin’. There’s no big money here ‘n logistically it’s bad. Too few ways in ‘n too few out. Yet, the ‘leaders’ of both cities would have sold the farm to get ‘em here. We blew seven million on ‘studies.’
But it ain’t only basketball. Paul Sawyer, rest him, did the same thing when he was threatenin’ to move his race dates to a new track here. The commonwealth caved ‘n allowed him to rebuild the track where it already was on fairgrounds property. I’d just as soon have it there as here anyway.
-
Reminds me a when I lived in San Jose an they dacided we needed a hockey team. A lot a fightin over tearin down a city block ta build the arena. Hockey folks won the fight an ma water bill bout doubled over night. Truth of the matter is that rink has seen more Disney on Ice than a puck since it been there. Talk bout agendas...Go Sharks!
-
The folks around here got on the Rangers bandwagon the last two years, back to back appearences in the World Serious. The teams read their press clippings from the past two years and lost the division the last month of the season. They're a big question mark this year. They traded off and didn't their good players. It looks like thar it's back to the old days. The Cowboys are a joke. The Mavericks are mediocre at best and the Stars are a big question marks. My tax dollars are funding these teams whether I like it or not.
-
Gotta edit the cost of the study to 1.2 million. The 7 million was on ‘nother of several boondoggles they’re workin’ on.
The choo-choo’s comin' - mebbe. Garbage fees went up $120.00 in ’11. Property tax was goin’ up 4¢ then the schools plead poverty ‘n they bumped it up ta 6¢ in ’12. Come July they’ll wanna give the city manager a raise ‘n reduce the number emergency services employees thru attrition.
-
I helped pay for the Ranger stadium and I'm paying for JerryWorld as well. Our Dallas taxes help fund our choo choo, the Dallas Area Rail Transit (DART). Ain't it wonderful to see out tax dollars Squandered! It's so nice to be paying taxes in both counties, I get jabbed twice!
-
I’ve dealt with the poster personally and professionally. His wife holds office, so to speak, in the commonwealth. They’re in real estate. Yesterday’s Journal does back it up. Probably where he got it.
"Meanwhile in Seattle... Not all are happy.
The group Citizens for More Important Things is suing the city of Seattle. Why? Because the 'giveaway' of public funds is not legal.
They are not the only ones unhappy about the 'deal'. The International Longshore and Warehouse Union has filed a lawsuit over the proposed SoDo plan.
So you see fellow Virginians, even though it is a good day for taxpayers here (minus the million plus wasted dollars), there are losers in Washington state stuck with a larger debt obligation."
-
It's nice to spread around the tax debt among ourselves.
-
And the beat goes on...dum dum dum da dum da dum dum...
Got side swiped, Sac put tagether an equity group ta reach inta some dark crevass an pull out millions ta keep the orange ball team an build another arena. I thought when ya shook hands on a deal it were done but I guess I was dumb ta think so.
-
The Maloofs need to hook up with Jerry Jones and be partners in a franchise. Real experts in action.
-
Seein’ a couple heavy hitters er standin’ with Johnson tryin’ ta keep ‘em in Sacramento. Where they been? Thinkin’ the deal’s been cut.
They wanted, as I recall, us ta pay a seventy some-odd million dollar bribe ta the NBA as some sorta relocation fee.
-
Convinced the whole thing was a scam from the get go. Pullin heart strings fer the pride a sacremento as evidenced by the breaking news press conference yesserday what stopped me from watchin Jepordy. They read off all the names of the investors an they was mostly asian. Didn't realize they was such fans.
-
Leo, The Asians have all the money to invest.

Now we know why she dumped ya, Roo. A flashy, younger dude with a bad ass Fusion. How they do ya when they start gettin' a l'il age on 'em.……..

Roo may still have a chance, that is the classic gaurded pose she is striking there.
-
When they hook up are they Patricky?
-
Danica's husband is 20 years older, maybe this time she wanted to try younger?
-
All I know is I got in trouble at a job for talking to guests with my arms that way. Was tolt it weren't a good thing ta do an gave off a bad vibe. I'm still pullin fer Roo.
-
Mebbe the way she tries ta concea………………….
Naw. He already knows.
-
Well she can go ta the same two hour re-education program I did (free sammiches an soda included!). The future generation a racin dapends on it.
-
I am curious to know if Ricky has seen her in a bikini, draped over the fender of an AC Cobra? I wish Ricky all the luck in the world. Go Daddy Ricky!

I've been watching the 24 hour Daytona race. I don't recognize most of the driver names. Jamie MacMurray, Clint Boywer, and Michael Waltrip are the only NASCAR folks that are being mentioned.
-
Got it on but I ain’t watchin’ much of it, loadin’ more 9s while I still have primers. I suppose it’s somethin’ one has to follow to keep up with.
Hearin' 'em mention Ambrose.
-
Well the 24 hours of Daytona is almost over, Juan Pablo Montoya, driving for Chip, is in the lead.
-
I suppose it's done. Went to the attached to do some stuff 'n when I got back they were talkin' to someone, no idea who or why. Turned on the tailgate episode of Iron Chef America. Michael Symon of Cleveland beat Masaharu Morimoto of Hiroshima, in Hawaii no less. Weird.....
-
I enjoy watching Symon's Suppers on the Cooking channel. Chef Morimoto is a big guy and he takes the Iron Chef challenges very serious.

Ya gotta like Symon. Seems like I’m always doin’ somethin’ ‘n miss the Suppers show. Bribed the fat lady ta record the later Iron Chef episode yestitty. He’s in that’n too.
Morimoto is amazin’ with a freakin’ knife. In this thing the basic was wild boar. Said he’d never done it ‘fore. Accused the Hawaiian pig of eatin’ pineapples ‘n sleepin’ all day. Said he’d never werked a tail gate theme before either. Symon doubted both.

Damn Chickens came ta play football..... :o :o :o :o
.....or are the 49ers lay'n down again..... ??? ??? ??? ???
-
What was that song Dandy Don used to sing?...Kinda funny at the moment.
-
Wasn't it fifteen more minutes fifteen minutes ago?
-
2102 - seven to ten minutes.
-
2110 - Good job.
-
Suppose the light outage was residual from Katrina and since Katrina was George W. Bush's fault the light going out is George Bush's fault and he killed is dog too......
-
Don't get me wrong I aint one a them conspirecy guys but somethin smells funny. The delay was extended cause the telex macine on the niner's side wasn't back up. I suppose that would matter in 1956 but it's silly now. Could almost hear my dad talkin head games on the field way back when an damn if it aint all true. Stats since play resumed er provin it.
-
Used ta be when the electronics died on one side they took 'em away from the other.
East coast - west coast I had ta go with the Ravens. Freakin' Carlos Rogers ain't gettin' a ring. Sick, hurt, whine, couldn't catch a cold when he played for the 2012 NFC East Division Champions, Washington Redskins. That' a plus.
Thinkin' CBS is gonna hafta put Phil Sims on suicide watch. Man, the SOB didn't even try ta hide the SF bias.
-
The bias was blatant. Tolt the wife the Ravens had ta win an they played the cards right. The saftey was a good move that late on the clock. Smart nuff not go throwin the ball in enemy territory. Good on em, a ring is a ring.
-
GREAT game, in my opinion. Power outage and no play during was kind of a take back... Way I figured, my HS team didn't have an electric scoreboard, PA announcement (until my Senior Year), or a "Telex," whatever the heck THAT is... Figured there was plenty enough light (moreso'n them lights we had at my home field) to play by, and then the Ravens could have kept spanking the 'Niners like they had been.
108 yard run in 11 seconds... For the record, the 100M (that's 109.XX yards, by the way) is 9.5 seconds. In a straight line.
Let that sink in for a bit. Jones was ziggin' and zaggin', and STILL came in at 11.
Damned if that ain't impressive.
Don't get me wrong, Ol' Kapernicus (because be damned if I could remember his name!) put up some good rushes, that's a fact. Course, former Baseball player, he'd damn well better be able to run!
Anyway, I'm out for the night!

Congrats. to the Ravens on their Super Bowl win. We have lots of left over finger foods from last night.

If the news didn’t make it down yer way, Tex. FYI.

Durrin' the storm....researched oil filters......WOW...a lot of opinions out there......Consensus: FRAM junk Purolator & Hastings/Baldwin R King....
8) Purolator luvs HMS....... 8) 8) 8)
;D
-
We always used Fram filters on our Ford products in the 60s and 70s. I still use Fram air filters on my 2 GM trucks. I have never had a Fram filter fail.
-
I stuck with Fram on all my Harleys. Was tickled pink when they started putting the grip coating on the base.
-
I use AC oil filters on my GM trucks and have not had any problems with them.
-
Delco worked but I always had that brand loyalty thing with the orange an black. I needed filters with out a check valve on them or the motor would overheat. Fram did the job.
-
Huge fan of the "suregrip"coating on the FRAM filters my own self; however, still have to use a wrench to pull them off.... :-\
Lots of "gas-bag'n" in different forums {go figure} 'bout personal opinions but came across some studies that actually cut open filters new and used....
Generally all said FRAM had it's day but now way too cheaply made with a bunch of other "Name Brands" by an outfit called Champion Labs..... Seems to be that they make a full spectrum of quality of junk {FRAM}, somewhat good {Bosch}, good {AC Delco}..... ??? ??? ???
The better was Purolator {Mann & Hummel} & Hastings/Baldwin {CLARCOR Company who specialize in heavy truck 'n farm'n}... 8)
Purolator is actually a joint company of Bosch with Mann & Hummel but the Bosch filters are farmed out to Champion Labs... ???
I think I'll try the Purolator filters for awhile... gotta get the Baldwin filters from Grangers.....
-
We sold several brands at the Parts store, Fram, Purolater, Wix, and AC Delco were the main sellers. We used those four brands in our garage as well.
-
Wix was the contractor for NAPA when I was there. Word from behind the counter was use the silver on newer stuff ‘n gold on the older. Used silver when I had the l’il black one. These days it’s whatever Xpress Lube sticks on the station wagon.
Stopped usin’ Fram years ago when the counterfeit stuff hit the shelves. Last I heard it still shows up now ‘n again.
When I get down to it I’ve only had a problem with one filter ‘n that was a long, long time ago. Threads were messed up ‘n it wouldn’t go on. Fat lady – who weren’t fat then – weren’t home with the car so there I sat. Don’t remember what brand that’n was.
-
Arcey, It looks like our boy Michael will be in Philly one more year. That makes me feel better, I was hoping that Dallas would not trade for him. Thank goodness for small favors.
-
Lately I've been using filters out of Federated. Made by Hastings, so they should be fairly good. When I still had the Fords,I usually tried to use the Motorcrafts if I could find them reasonable enough. The vehicles I have now call for either syn-blends or full synthetics. the hamster lists either full syn or the syn blend, the zoom-zoom wagon calls for syn only, no options, and in 0W-20 to boot. Hamster's 5W-20. ::) :-\ 8)
-
I use Pennzoil 5/20 in the trucks and the Cadillac uses Mobil-1. We use GM filters for the oil. The Cadillac dealership changes the oil in it and jiffy lube does the trucks.
-
5 20 in the station wagon too. The stuff in Andi's Civic looks like 3 In 1..............
Ain't that I don't like the Vick deal cuz I do. That said, this guy ain't stupid. He knows Vick's short comin's as well as anyone by now. I wonder what the angle is.
-
I just hope the Cowboy's famous GM, Jerry Jones, doesn't decide that they don't need him as Romo's backup.
-
NFL Thanksgiving Day matchup for 2013
Cowboys/Broncos I predict a "buck off" big time 8)
-
Miz Letty, The Cowboys can look forward to another 8-8 season at best, Payton and the Broncos will mop up the floor with Dallas.
-
Damn…………….
They’ve moved Denver to the NFC East. Schedule includes the 2012 NFC East Champions Washington Redskins.
A l’il space for the losers here. Keep 'em in their places...............
The Giants, eagles ‘n Texas’ second tier team.

Arcey, Dallas and Philly will battle for sole possession of the NFC East cellar.

Shootout TODAY...5 Days 'til Bud Duels.....8 Days 'til DAYTONA 500!.....
8)
-
They had a little get together yesterday during practice, so at least 3 will be in backup cars for the Shoot Out. The fab shops in Charlotte will be busy rebulding cars next week for the 125s ahead. A lot of midnight oil will be burnt.
-
Second practice. Best lookin’ cars I’ve seen inna spell. Sad the Charger ain’t on the track.
Ready for the ARCA show ta start now.
-
Ol Gerhart has just been waiting around, he's now in front. That Milka Duno is a cutie. She led for awhile till she had problems with her shifter linkage messed up. She's 5 laps down and the linkage is fixed. She has got a good car, maybe she can back up front, the race is only half over. ARCA needs to ditch those POS Hoosier tires. Hoosier makes good dirt track tires, but not NASCAR tires.
-
T'was a decent appetizer. Ready for the evenin's entree.
-
Arcey, If that Civic's pretty new, that's probably that 0w-20 stuff, full syn to boot. Most places, it's about $8 a qt.. talked to the zoom-zoom dealership yesterday about cost of an oil change...............$70! :o :o :o :o I can get Wolf's Head full syn in that weight for $4.79/qt., plus a filter for about $6( why that much, I have no clue). It takes 5 liters+, will need 6 qts. to cover, so, about $38-9 bucks and it'll be done as long as I get a warm enough day after my no lift/exercise time is over( another week). The Hamster has an appointment Thursday for the 15,000mile service check up. Good thing I got the mileage rebate card, this service runs around $300. I can cover it with that and still have a little left on it. Nice thing about this is I get to recharge the card every year we still own the car, pays us for driving it ::)
-
Sounds right, Buck. It’s awful thin. While the thing was titled to me the dealership ate the oil changes. She still takes it there so maybe they don’t know it’s all hers now.
Fun ‘n games yesterevenin’. Maybe they can get thru Thursday without tearin’ up half the field.
-
I didn't get to watch last night, but I recorded it. I'll watch this morning.
-
Good way ta do it.
-
I've got plenty of food and grub for breakfast and it will be a good way to wake up this morning.
-
Took out three or four before the first 20 were over ::)
-
It done my heart good to see the 24 and 48 "on the HOOK". It couldn't happen to a couple of nicer guys. I hope they wind up the same way in the 500.
-
Damn..
Waltrip can’t remember the last time a manufacturer worked so closely with NASCAR onna car. Heck – he drove one they put together tryin’ ta catch Elliott’s Ford.

It's Official......
Pretty Li'l Girl has the BIG pole..... :)
-
Reckon they should be proud. Commodores on the front row.
http://www.news.com.au/sport/motor-sport/commodore-makes-american-nascar-debut-at-daytona/story-fne8930l-1226579406174
-
;D
-
Do the Commadores have right hand drive?
-
Tex you need to see them spin out backwards
-
Judgin' from the wiper 'n the number on the
windshield windscreen, I'd say that'n's on the wrong side. So's the exhaust. Or, are they on they proper side 'n the ones with the bow tie decals backwards?
(http://www.themotorreport.com.au/content/image/2/0/2013_holden_racing_team_v8_supercar_03-0211.jpg)
-
From the same company that brought us the Australian GTO.
-
Decent races. Got to watch most of the first 'n almost all the second. Be fun ta run Sunday in' three races similar to these. Two heats of fifty 'n eliminate 16th back in each. Start 15th up from the two in the main.
-
Harvick won another on the last few laps. It appears that Kenseth seems to have problems with the visability of the Toyota. He almost got together with the 27 car during the race.
-
I guess the Bowtie crowd can't B*tcH about the asian yotas anymore.... what with Commadores in NASCAR now.
I would like the Kid & the Wood Bros. to trump them again, that was unexpected :)
-
Kenseth looks kinda outta place. Take some gettin’ used ta. Booth says ‘Kenseth’ ‘n I’m lookin’ for 17…………………
I could go for Bayne winnin’ another. Get the Woods back on top for a weekend. Plate racin’. Anything can happen.
-
I got to see that 63 Daytona race in Amarillo on closed-circuit. We got free promo tickets because we sold perfect circle piston rings and other products that the NASCAR teams used. DDad had bought a 63 Ford SW in Oct.62. It was one of the local Dealer's show cars. Dad special ordered it with a 390 4-barrel and a 3 speed on the column. The trans was a syncronized. I bought a chrome dress-up kit for the engine. I took my driver's test in it. I was really rooting for Ned Jarrett, he led for a while till he ran out of gas. Tiny was a dark-horse to win. I really enjoyed the tribute car(63 Ford) that they built in honor of the 50th anniversary. I had a 63 and and 64 "Fastback". Both had 390s.
-
Did my OL inna '55 Chevrolet (moron pronunciation 'shivalay') a warmed o'ver 283 'n a Competition Plus.
Got fake beer, salsa 'n chips along with a remote 'n workin' mute button. About that time.
-
I got some Bulb Lites, popcorn, and leftover pizza. I hate that Danica had engine problems. She was purdy racy until the engine with south. I love Bowyer's Toyo commercial. He is old school and I like that.
-
Yeah, I was sure she was gonna win............. by two laps.................... while doin' 'er nails....................
Heh, heh....... It don't take keys...........
-
Ain't seein' much news. If what I'm seein's right, one them folks is in right bad shape with a head injury. Tire was way up in the stands. My prayers for him or her. It's a dangerous game but it ain't supposed ta go that way.
-
The injured count is about 28, with one man with a serious head injury. I saw some video of 4 safety personell carrying the tire and wheel with part of the suspension down out of the grandstands. It makes you think about what can happen in a split second.
-
It makes you think about what can happen in a split second.
that's all it takes
hope all fair well from this and they are able to return to their favorite sport soon
-
The unoffical count of injured folks stands at 28, 14 were treated at the infield care center and 14 were taken and treated at Halifax General Hospital. It's a miracle that no one was killed. The race has just started, WW just took the lead, I hope that don't last long. I hope him and JJ finish back in the Pack.
-
Congrats, Roo Dood. Yer gonna have all Danacker all day.
-
Boogity boogity boogity
-
Roo, Danica seems to be holding her own in the race. She's back in the Top 5 again. I would like to see her win the race, or at least to finish in the Top 5.
-
Yeah me too. I think she showing the good ole boys she is serious
-
They hadn't turned 'er loose yet................... Yeah................ Anxiously lookin' forward to Martinsville.
If no one remembers Talladega from a couple years ago when they followed the leader the whole race 'n the fans complained, take a look. This is how it was................
-
hah!
-
I hate that 5-time won, but Junebug made a race of it at the end. with MM in a TOYO in 3rd. Danica got shuffled back to 8th. She still ran a good race and had a fast car all day.
-
I'm happy she put her ego aside 'n got out of the way when it came time to go. She'll get 'em next wee........... Uh..... She'll learn some more next week. She always suckin' it up like a sponge. I think that was Eury's assessment. Or, maybe Hammond's. No, Waltrip's. One of 'em.
The thing as a whole was kinda disappointin', I thought.
-
No more predictions for me ::) I thought it would be Smoke's day, what ws he 40th or so ? ...wrecked out
and Kyle blowed up, he was my other pick !
Danica proved she's got speed & endurance, I remember her as the Girl Host on Speed's "Power Block" TV show.
I'd like ol Mark to pull one off , :-\ time is not on his side though.
-
wasn't sure there were any Ford's or Toy's left by the end of the race
-
Biff and keso were there at the end ::) 8)
-
TRD needs to do some work. Not that I wanna see em dominate but they got some flaws ta iron out.
-
Mark Martin finished 3rd in a Toyo and Brad K finished 4th in a Ford. I'm curious as to what let go in Kenseth's Toyo and Kyle B's Toyo. They were strong, especially Kenseth. Phoenix is next week, I would like to see Tony be competitive and win.
-
I'm guessin it were somethin small they missed. Once they look the cars over they should have a clue.
-
It could be a batch of bad engine parts. I am sure they examine Hamlin's engine as well, as far as I know. it was still runnin' at the end of the race.
-
It were but he said on the radio his car was about ta blow up, he just didn't say why.
-
That sounds like the engine dept. had a bad batch of parts. MWR didn't seem to have any engine problems that I heard about. I don't know who does their engines, it may just be a JGR problem. Those restrictior plate races are boring, no one can pass. I am in favor of less or none at all restrictions on the engines. Let them race! She don't do Keys!
-
what y'll do with yeti? Is he driving the Furniture Row truck or the souvenier van?
-
Stuff ain't been right since JGR got mixed up with TRD. Kenseth didn't know if his was engine or transmission problems. Bottom ends are right strong. The 18 prolly lost somethin' in the valve train - again. Same with the 11 I'm guessin'.
-
Maybe Gibbs' needs to not use a lower rear end ratio, where the engine is revving less. They are trying to get max power out of the engines at the cost to the valve train.
-
NASCAR’s makin’ the tail end call these days, gives ‘em two ratios to pick from for each track. Final drive on the transmissions, best I know, has to be one to one. Same for e’erbody. I dunno. All three manufacturers drop valves cuz they’re pretty much usin’ the same stuff there. Your earlier guess is mine, Tex – bad parts.
-
When you're turnin' those engines at close to 10 grand out there, something has got to give, and the valve train is usually the culprit.
-
what y'll do with yeti? Is he driving the Furniture Row truck or the souvenier van?
Got sent on a road trip to LA just got back last night... Watched the race at a Pilot Truck Stop in Castaic CA.... Lounge filled with ill truckers so I just pop'd in from time to time and watched the last 25 laps avoiding getting sick my own self....
GO 88
Pretty Li'l Girl is just toooooo HOT!....... TOP TEN!... ;) ;) ;) ;) ;) ;)
-
Phoenix is this week end. It fits Tony Stewart's driving style.
-
Phoenix is this week end. It fits Tony Stewart's driving style.
Smoke and Stewart-Haas Racing has a great chance to win at any track these days; HOWEVER,
the dominating winner at Pheonix International Speedway is Jimmie Johnson and Kevin Harvick is pretty tuff too....
;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
Dale Earnhardt Jr has NOT since he was a puppy..... Maybe NOW as a Big Dawg....
Go 88
-
I would hate to see 5-time win 2 in a row. Harvick is my dark horse favorite. I am still picking Smoke to win this one.
-
They's callin her a long shot but I say go little girl.
-
I think that Danica has a better chance on the SuperSpeedways and the 1.5 mile tracks than the tracks of 1 mile or less.
-
Figgered there'd be at least one Ford in the top ten. Oh well.......
-
Roush is behind on the Gen 6 car. Biffle seems to doing better than Edwards and Stenhouse. Penske's Fords have been more competitive as well. Kenseth seems to be having problems with visibility with the Toyota.
-
That was more like racin’ the way I enjoy it - even if Busch did stink it up at the end.
-
JGR has now got cars in the NNS, they otta be able to do some R&D on their cars.
-
;D ;D RACE DAY! ;D ;D
Jr did not do well at practice but keep'n the faith for a top 5.... ;) ;)
GO 88
;D
-
Junebug needs to win one soon. I was glad to see Mark Martin win the pole at Phoenix. He's overdue for a win as well.
-
I guess Kenny Wallace thinks the morons listenin’ are hard of hearin’. He yells ‘n they’re the only ones payin’ any attention to ‘im……
-
I thought the 500 was boring, Let this thing end.
-
Junebug is leading for the moment, followed by 5-time, and Kenseth is 3rd. I sure hope Junebug can pull off a win.
-
My nephew is keeping me up to date on the race, since i am working. Says the Pretty Lady cant make any Magic work in Arizona
-
Roo, yer girlfriend is out. Jus' so ya know she is OK.
-
Arcey, I think Kenny should watch his caffine intake. but he is really wacky at times.
-
OOOHHH MAN!
At least one Green-White-Checker... 8) 8) 8)
FUEL.... Fuel...fuel.... ;) ;)
GO 88NO TIRE SPIN!
-
Carl breaks a 70 race drought and wins at Phoenix. Five-time finishes 2nd, and Hamlin finishes 3rd.
-
Good on JR for his top 5 finish........ right on plan... ;D ;D
OOOhhhhRRrraahhh for Cuz Carl on break'n the streak of winlessness'n...fit'n for the Subway car win'n the Subway race. 8)
Pretty Li'l girl wreck'n right below wheres Sugar Britches and I would sit in attendence out there for the second to last race...
Good place to see down the wall toward finish line and turn one with lots of wrecks in front of us.....just good seats. ;) ;)
Las Vegas next week....seen the track in North Las Vegas right off the I-15 last week run'n that CA haul...figured it should be the next track to go for the go-fast-turn-left.......
8)
-
I'm gonna send 5-time a big hunk of RAT CHEESE to go with his WHINE!
-
Edwards got out front on the last restart 'n Johnson was were he was gonna be although Hamlin damn near snookered him. Out front was the key. I was thinkin' they'd be able to race a l'il more after Busch came up from 23rd yesterday passin' under green. Track position was a a big deal for the cup stuff.
Happy for Edwards. I was beginnin' to wonder 'bout the boy bein' too comfortable.
-
Johnson don't mind doin' those restarts to other people, he don't like it when it happens to him.
-
My new Sunday pass time is keeping up with what y'll are bantering here and my 14 year old nephew in his corner to corner call, via texting. Makes for a fast afternoon. He said the Pretty Girl was able to walk away guess that's good enough. Poor kid is a bit confused though he roots for, 5 time and Gordon
-
. I am still picking Smoke to win this one.
Charlie Daniels tweeted earlier today that's who he was hoping to see pull it off.
-
Las Vegas this week for NASCAR. The Fords have always done well here. Good luck to everyone, but not wonder wimp and 5-time.
-
Edwards won in ’08 ‘n ’11 with Fords the in previous configuration. Should be interestin’ ta see how he runs next weekend.
-
This is the first 1.5 track on the schedule. I wanna see how the Gen 6 car does on the 1.5 tracks.
-
Readin' the post race quotes 'n they're all complainin' 'bout the turbulence off the cars sayin' they can't pass. Reckon if they liked Phoenix at 140 they'll be thrilled with Las Vegas at 190................
-
Yep, These Gen 6 cars do okay by themselves, but squirrely when they are in a bunch.
-
Seems they're always in a bunch.
-
Yep, Leo They do tend to bunch up a lot at times.
-
Kinda like a clogged drain............................
Think I'll send a message ta Daytona suggestin' they take the aero stuff off this weekend. 'Course I'd get the same response from them I'd get if I sent a message ta the jerks in DC.
-
Prolly So.
-
I just read this morning that the NRA will be sponsoring the spring race at TMS this year.
-
Arcey, It looks like The Dinger has signed to drive open wheel for Penske and will try and qualify for the Indy 500. Good luck to him in his new endeavors.
-
He came from the defunct open wheel series. We wins the old IRL guard'll be suicidal. Be fun to see the french guy no one liked in a competitive ride there too. Make it interestin'.
-
I read where NASCAR popped Hamlin with a 25,000 dollars fine for remarks he made after the Phoenix race.
-
Sez he ain't payin' it. They can suspend 'im 'n he still ain't payin'. JGR has Vickers under contract. Hamlin's gonna lose this battle if the appeal don't bail 'im out.
-
It would be a shame for him to be susupended. Sometimes Ya' just gotta keep your opinions to your self. Some much for Free Speech.
-
;D ;D RACE DAY!;D ;D ;D
NASCAR thought police is more detrimental to NASCAR race'n then a driver speak'n his mind..... :-\ :-\
''I don't want to be the pessimist, but it did not race as good as our generation five cars. This is more like what the generation five was at the beginning.''....Denny Hamlin, Phoenix AZ
How is THIS "slam'n" the product....... ??? ........FINE nascar..... :P :P :P
The rain-out cancelled qualifying as NASCAR's line up based on 2012 final points, as the 2012 Cup champion has pole.
JR starts 12th and look'n for another top FIVE!.... ;)
Pretty Li'l Girl in the 37th spot ahead of the "Start 'n Park" cars...... 8)
GO 88
-
He do speak his mind. This mornin they showed a interview where he said, "If they wanna suspend me I don't care" or somethin along those lines.
-
Hamlin is enough "old school" for him not to fear the NASCAR folks. Most drivers have opinions to NASCAR isuues and they should be allowed to voice those opinions. They let JJ and WW whine all the time and they are exempt from sanctions.
-
watching speed channel experts and they all seem to be supporting Denny.
Go Daddy
-
Nascar has 2 standards, Hendrick's and everyone else. Nascar and the announcers on Nascar TV coverage go out of their way to kiss Hendrick's fat butt and JJ and Ww's butts as well.
-
DW’s said it more’n once. Keep NASCAR happy ‘n keep yer hard card. I’d get a kick outta gettin’ McReynolds ‘bout half lit at a tailgate with no cameras or mics around.
But that’s why God made mute buttons ‘n MRN radio. Ain't quite as slanted 'n nowhere near as goofy.
-
Arcey, I guess I need to find out if I get MRN here in the Metroplex.
-
Arcey, I guess I need to find out if I get MRN here in the Metroplex.
you probably could stream it on IHeart or there own www address
-
LR, I'll have to check into that.
-
Or...................
If you can’t find one on the air there’s a bunch of stations with streamin’ audio. I use AM 1650 out of Portsmouth. It comes up on Google. You can hook up to that as easy as any if you have a computer close enough to hear it while yer watchin’.
MRN ‘n PRN are more straight up. A car runnin’ ‘n finishin’ thirty sumthin’, six laps down, gets the coverage it deserves. Next to none. No matter what’s drivin’ it. Radio is more for people who like racin’ o’er hype.
-
Dang if I didn't fall asleep after the last fuel up. Weren't the race's fault but it looked like it were down ta two cars. Opened ma eyes an there was some infomercial on bout a space age oven. Stupid time change.
-
JR gets a top 10 and the Pretty Li'l Girl finishes 6 laps down..... all good ;D ;D
Next weekend Thunder Valley of Bristol TN....Short Track Race...YES. :) :) :) :) Tear up those Gen Sixes...
Glad to hear that "terrestrial radio" MRN & PRN are back in the game as the satilite folks owned race'n radio for so long never even thought of it....
look'd em up for here in Denver Town it weren't nothing to see Dal/Ft.W.... ;)
PRN is 1080AM 105.3FM...... MRN is 1080AM 1420AM 99.9FM......
-
I nodded off on the first yellow. weren't out long. Was only 4 cars running the race anyhow. I think the wall might of slowed down the pretty little girl or Mr. Stenhouse did. Oh well the fab shop can work on something different this week.
I'm ready to watch Bristol but will have to record it
What's up with Michael Waltrip wardrope. I was looking for a rainbow ribbon
-
Congrats to Matt Kenseth on his first win of the year and the first win of the year for JGR.
-
Nice top ten mix qualifyin’. Toyota, Holden, Toyota, Toyota, Holden, Holden, Ford, Holden, Toyota, Ford.
Gotta bad feelin’ the weather’s gonna win………………..

The driver was not experienced. It was an awful thing to happen.
Said to be run'n for a couple years....so experienced is YES as he is NOT a rookie; therefore, the question is: "How long does a person have to do something to wear the experience crown?"
Speculated that the crash was mechanical related which no amount of experience would overcome completely...

I think the pretty little girl as I said last week has had too close a look at the wall. She is afraid to get aggressive trying to bring 4 wheels home at the end of the day
Told my nephew before the green I thought Klye would win, but was hoping Kahne did. Good race regardless love short tracks
-
And Martinsville's just around the corner. Next race over on the left coast has all the makin's of bein' as excitin' as watchin' paint dry. Did surprise some a couple races ago 'n it weren't half bad but those there are few and far between.
Don't forget, if the stands are empty it's still a sell out. All the fans are at the souvenir trailers durin' the race accordin' ta Gillian. Ya can't see 'em is all.
-
I missed both races this weekend. I ATTENDED the NCOWS CONVENTION in Kentucky this weekend. Glad to hear that Kyle B and Kasey K WON their races.
-
Thought that was right decent. Enjoyed the racin’ up front. Some good stuff went down away from the lead ‘n the cameras stayed back there pretty much when it was goin’ down. No complaints.
The booth was the booth. “HORNISH IS CATCHIN’ BUSCH!” Someone should tell them about the ‘net ‘n live scorin’. Unlike Wallace, fans can read.
Good runs for Kligerman ‘n Larson. Up there with the big boys.
I hope tomorrow goes that way.
-
I may have to tape tomorrows race.
-
N'er a bad idea with that place. Martinsville's closer'n ever.
Probably watch it semi-live. Rains like they say I’ll get the OFSDAR stuff loaded fer Thursday while it’s runnin’. Got the cartridge refillin' tool box here in the HEY! Loft ennyways. That’ll kill the Trail Boss. I'll be officially out. If there’s ‘nuff left to start with.
ROO!!!!!!!

That Sliced Bread fella is sure show'n how to make friends and influence people.... :D Guess he needs to figure out that just because his car is junk he can't be wreck'n everyone else... ::) ::) ::) ......... Hope Denny is OK....
Smoke WILL put the spank'n on the 22..... ;) ;) ;)
Thought the Pretty Li'l Girl would do better on this 2 mile'r but still not bad... ;)
Wreck'n the 11 car not only gave the Toad a blue ribbon from the white ribbon but gave JR a Red Ribbon and First in Points!
COOL!.....GO 88
Next weekend Easter after that the following weekend is the Paper-Clip of Martinsville.....NICE!
;D Sprint Cup and the 2nd Truck race runn'n the flat-half... ;D

-
Smoke took a couple of pokes at Logano after the race. Smoke has a good memory. Logano better watch his ps and qs, cause Smoke plans on dotting his eyes. Junebug is points leader for the first time in a long time.
-
"He probably shouldn't have done what he did last week, so that's what he gets,"
Ya say that while a guy’s in the hospital. That’s as classy the school yard crap he put on Twitter. I guess if he gets really pissed he’ll call someone a poopy head.
Was kinda hopin’ he’d get a fresh start with Penske. He’s no better than someone who’d work for a thief. Just above those who’d support ‘em but not far. Screw ‘em all.
Was real pleased with the racin’. There was some good stuff ta see. Now watch ‘em repave it ‘n turn it back in ta what it was.
-
ouiiiiiiiiii some temper Stewart has ;D I caught the last 20 laps, and has my Little Bro said, that was the race.
Hamlin's condition?
-
Looks like Hamlin got himself a compression fracture on his spine...maybe be back to play on the flat-half in Martinsville...
Lagano gunna get threats like Sterling Marlin did on that fateful day... ???
-
LR, Stewart is a Scottish surname. Folks of Scottish decent are known for their temper. Reed is a Scottish surname. I was known for my temper in my younger days. Tony is "old school" and he didn't feel like Logano "raced him clean" on the restart. Tony doesn't forget things like that. Logano better get some eyes in the back of his head. Tony will get even when the opportunity presents itself. I hope that Hamlin's back injury isn't too serious and it doesn't effect his career.
-
The one I remember best when Stewart got tuff was Robby Gordon at Daytona. They’d had words ‘n Gordon turned to walk off. When he turned his back Stewart shoved ‘im. Gordon turned back at him ‘n Stewart looked like he was face to face with the grim reaper. Funny as heck. The crew jumped in 'n spoiled it.
That aside, if he ain’t careful, Logano might get angry, go on Twitter ‘n call ‘im a jelly belly…….
-
Don't think Smoke knows too much 'bout tweeter.... ::) ::) I DO think'n he knows how to burn toast.... ;)
-
Tony will get even at some time. Logano should have stayed in the NNS series. He's got a better winning record than in Sprint Cup.
-
Whatcha wanna bet Sadler’s got ‘is nose so far up J.D.’s ¿þƏώ right ‘bout now ta get in the 11 he’s usin’ a snorkel to breathe?
I still think Logano was moved up too quickly ‘n said so when he was with JGR. He didn’t have a full season in the second tier stuff before he was stuck in cup with a ride capable of winnin’. That’s gotta work on a teenager’s head ‘n bring in a lot of disappointment to him ‘n his team. Especially a kid who was used to winnin’ in a series new to him right outta the box.
That said, seeing the level of immaturity he’s shown over the past couple weeks I’m glad he’s gone. J.D. doesn’t need three head cases to deal with on the cup side. Two, although proven winners, are plenty.
-
I know this aint the place ta discuss the orange ball but I thought ya might get a chucked ta hear the Kings thing still aint settled. Apparently now whale huntin' got somethin ta do with it. All I know is I'm sick a hearin about it.
-
Save the whales. I'll have to remember that'n case council wants ta try again.
Then again, evictin' a private homeless shelter from the property they wanted to build the playhouse on didn't even slow 'em up when they thought they had a shot.
-
Perty sure ya in the clear from hear on out.
-
Sadler is a good driver and HARDLY needs to go snorkeling for a ride like some has-been Revenuer.... ::) ::) ::) :P
Hamlin is a tuff bird who has driven the wheeels off it injured before.....He'll be at the Paper Clip... :-\ :-\ ::)
The flat Half would be a good time to burn some toast.... ;D
-
Took a look at today’s Sacramento paper. Looks like the Maloofs did good playin’ the cities against one another.
Article doesn’t even mention this place. Nothing in the pilot. I feel so left out.
Heh, heh, heh….
-
Arcey, That's prolly a good thing.
-
Arcey, That's prolly a good thing.
Yessir!
It made the pilot after my post. An AP article they picked off the wire.
-
Them Maloof bothers are a couple of real slime balls.
-
They don’t seem ta have a lot of good things said about ‘em.
Ain’t seen the confirmation, seen the rumor. Sadler to the 11 UFN. Rats. Maybe they’ll have him stroke ‘n sneak to decent finishes the way the 25’s been doin’ it.
-
Denny. Is tough and he,will be back in the car as soon as they clear him to drive again.
-
Martin…………………. Whew………
Now Sadler can concentrate on the minor league stuff. Stenhouse ain't in his way this time.
-
Sadler has had it handed to him on a platter.
-
Sadler has had it handed to him on a platter.
Absolute NON-Sense.....
Still have to drive it to the top to win it....... ::) ::)
Silver Platter belongs to those Dillon boys and they gotta drive it too....maybe ;) ;)
TOO COOL Mark Martin will be Runn'n the 11 @ Martinsville.. ;D NO Chase for Denny... :-\ :-\
Looks like Brian Vickers will continue in the 11 care after that,,,,has-been revenuer do'n a Happy Dance...break a leg ;D
Happy Easter to ALL!
-
I wonder how good the Dillon brothers would be without having Richard Childress as a grandfather. Their father was real good at wreckin' cars and not winning races.

Suppose the same can be said 'bout Grand-Daddy too..... :D :D :D :D
Those who can't----Teach.....Those who can't Race----Own Race Teams.... but then there's SMOKE!
;D
-
Richard was smart enough to hire Sr. and the rest is history. Time will tell whether or not Sadler can win the Championship.
-
.......... Time will tell whether or not Sadler can win the Championship.
OR.... better yet,,,, will Biffle over in the Roush camp EVER win another race.....tic-toc..tic-toc
;D
Sadler's best shot was in the RCR Bow-Tie....not look'n too good in that Yota Camery... :-\ :-\ :-\
Want to add:
Nationwide stud will be the former Mile High race team driver Regan Smith over there at JR Motorsports... ;)
-
Regan can be competitive in JR's stuff and he seems like a good kid.

If it wasn't picked off the AP by the locals, Jack Pardee passed away.

Jack was a Texas A and M alumni. He was one of Bear Bryant's "Junction Boys" He played and coached for the Redskins as well as the Houston Gamblers. He coached at the University of Houston and created the "Run and Shoot" with Andre Ware and Andre was lucky enough to win the Heisman while he was at UH.
-
Hope the guessers’ forecast holds. Lookin’ forward to practice ‘n qualifyin’. Stewart’s already makin’ excuses for Patrick’s poor performance ‘n she hasn’t even seen the place yet.
-
Thing o'er the orange ball still aint done yet. Kep inneruptin my quiz shows yesserday with breakin news bout politicians an millionaires. They can play chess all they want but don't put the board on my table.
Lookin forward ta some other sports.
-
‘Fore ya get mad it us, we n’er were nothin’ more’n leverage. The folks extortin’ money from tax payers via the politicians didn’t have no intention of movin’ ‘ere.
We’ve come ta reckon the mayor ‘n ‘is cabal knew it too. They wanted a reason ta break the idea of an arena ta the unwashed. They still want it even tho there’s nothin’ ta put in it. And, they still want the choo-choo. And, a new convention center hotel. No tellin’ what else while the producers still have money Washington didn’t take.
-
2nd Truck race start'n here in a few hours...
Ron Hornaday innnnahhh the # 9 Bow-Tie start'n 9th...
8) 8) COOL! 8) 8)
-
I met Ron at TMS several years ago, I even had a beer with him after the race.
-
Hornaday is one of my favorite "Good Ol' Boys" of race'n still run'n.... just class acts... ;)
Speak'n of.... hate see'n Mark Martin start the 11 car Sunday just in front of the start/park fellas next to Ken Schrader... :-\
Nemechek at the rear.... ::)
-
MM still has a chance to win. He cut his teeth in"bullrings" like Martinsville when he ran ASA.
-
Martin'll be alright if he can get through the dregs in front of him without gettin' lapped early or runnin' into someone else's mess. Despite two wins there he doesn't drive the place all that well, n'er has. He wasn't scheduled to run it this year. Vickers drove the 55 on the 1/2 mile tracks last season as well as Bristol last month.
Pretty even qualifyin’ mix. Holden, Ford, Toyota, Ford, Holden, Holden, Ford, Toyota, Ford ‘n Holden.
DVR’ed the trucks while we were in the radar trap otherwise known as Waverly doin’ the CAS thing. Pretty good racin’. Looked kinda like……………….. Martinsville.
-
;D RACE DAY! ;D
LOOKIE HERE.......48 on the pole and three of the four HMS cars start'n top SIX...... nice... ;D
JR on the 9th row with his ol' buddy Regan Smith...... ;) ;) ;)
22 car better be watch'n his 1/4 panels....heh heh heh
Wanted to add that the Pretty Li'L Girl start'n back there too wiith Mark Martin....Who's gunna last the longest... ???
GO 88
-
I hated to see 5 time win today. I think Bowyer had something for it his car had not been damaged. I did not appreciate what 5 time did to his team mate junebug. Winning is more important to him and ww than being team players. Danica managed to finish in the Top 20.
-
Good race...a bit tame but had it's moments without the intensity... :-\
WWwhhhoooohhooo in the top 4 positions own'd by HMS...... NICE! ;D..... JJ's 8th win at the Paperclip.. :o :o
Hate'd to see JR's car go junk the last 100 laps... :P..... 3rd in points... :P
Prity Li'l Girl finish'n 12th on her first run at the flat half mile.... Damn Good...better then fellas on the team.. ;D ;D
Mark Martin just in front of his 55 car and Regan Smith way out lasted his former Mile High Race team... 8) 8) 8)
TEXAS next Saturday Nite, Friday nite Nationwide and the Trucks at the Rock Sunday day.... 8) 8) 8) 8)

As well as things are goin’ at the moment for the marxists they prolly don’t want anyone to remember. Another revolution wouldn’t be a good thing for ‘em.
Not a shoddy effort yesterevenin’. Hope this evenin’s event goes as well.

A Revolution watering the Tree of Freedom with the blood of Tyrants and Patriots would clean up the gene pool a whole bunch as I have no doubt that far more tyrants would do the most water'n... ;) ;) ;)
;D ;D RACE DAY! ;D ;D
Just got back to town and have not been follow'n anything....so with that said....
GO 88
Warm up laps are on and I would like to see JR repeat His first cup win, think'n the six-shooters will be shot by the 48....
-
I was glad to see that Wonder wimp and first-time were not in the winner`s circle last night. Kyle Busch and Truex had the best cars last night.
-
Was happy ta see Truex keep Busch from totally stickin' up the weekend. Ain't that I don't wanna see a JGR win I just want the racin' a l'il closer leadin' up to it. Oh well.....
-

I fell asleep during the 3rd yellow, but the outcome was predictable by then
-
Lagoon was the biggest surprise in today`s truck race, he almost won the race. It sounded like he might be back in the truck for the Kansas race next week.
-
Waltrip can toe the NASCAR line 'n scream 'til 'is cheeks turn blue. But someone out front in clean air is hard to get around. The 18 won on the last restart.
Keselowski’s throwin’ a hissy fit cuz NASCAR’s pickin’ on the 2 ‘n 22 o’er the angle of their rear rims. Could have sumthin’ ta do with the ailevator flange. Either way, he ain’t gonna take it no more. I’m sure NASCAR’s terrified.
Truex’s front wing was too low. Johnson’s sayin’ a shock problem.
-
TX was a hot time for the Toad...he won the weekend fair 'n square.... :-X :-X :-X
Dang JR shoots his foot after battery problems.... beat yourself is not good and hope it's the last..... :(
Was that Eddy Munster who won the Camping World at the Rock?......swear it was him... :-\ :-\
Nationwide off next weekend as the Sprints & Trucks play on some fresh asphalt at KS... ;D
GO 88

He is lucky to be alive, his car was cut in half at Daytona.

Keselowski after NASCAR seized his rear end, “We're not going to take it. We're not going to be treated this way."
NASCAR. • • Crew chief Paul Wolfe has been fined $100,000 and suspended from NASCAR until the completion of the next six NASCAR Sprint Cup Series championship points events (including the non-points Sprint All-Star Race) and placed on probation until Dec. 31.
• Car chief Jerry Kelley, team engineer Brian Wilson and team manager Travis Geisler (serves as team manager for both the #2 and #22 cars) have been suspended from NASCAR until the completion of the next six NASCAR Sprint Cup Series championship points events (including the non-points Sprint All-Star Race) and placed on probation until Dec. 31.
• The loss of 25 championship driver (Brad Keselowski) and 25 championship owner (Roger Penske) points.
Rumor is personnel of the 24 ‘n 48 crews ratted ‘em out. It takes a thief.
It’s your move, Mr. Keselowski.
-
Roger is sending Bad Brad 'n Sliced Bread to Mike Helton's office to roll around on the floor ball'n & pound'n 'till they poop themselves.....then roll 'round some more... All because they got caught....BOOOO HHhooooo...
Guess it's OK to rat out Chad Knaus but can't return the favors back onto the other lie'n-cheat'n-thieve'n Richard Smokers... ::)
Good Grief... :-\ :-\ :-\ :-\ :-\
-
Actually I can't be too hard on these teams.....NASCAR is a lot like the Revenures......write ya up for a bunch of carp that they think is wrong to let you bang it out with the judge.....
In the end you got it in the rear end....no vaselien and no kiss.. >:(
-
Chad has been caught cheating by NASCAR on several occasions.

That's the Point....Kanaus is NOT the only one "push'n the envelope: Sections 12-1 (actions detrimental to stock car racing); 12-4J (any determination by NASCAR officials that the race equipment used in the event does not conform to NASCAR rules)........" so why should Kanaus be the only one to get nailed...
MWR got a little slap on the hand for the 56's Post Race "BS" infraction...

You`'re sounding like a cheerleader for Hendrick.

Great to see Matt Kenseth on the pole and go'n good! Fresh asphalt & Track Records! ;D
Except the 39 squeek'n in the top 10 it's all about the Blue Ovals and Yotas... HMS all start'n middle to the rear.... ::)
Sadler start'n in the middle between JR and the Pretty Li'l Girl......good on him get'n back to the "show"... ;)

Kenneth is the car to beat right now. It sounds like Hamlin may be back at Richmond or Talladega.

Roo, I watched a rodeo from Oklahoma City today on the satellite. I got to see 2 members of my college`s Rodeo team in action., Taos Mauncey in the Saddle Bronx and Lane Frost`s second cousin, John Frost in the Bull riding.
-
It’s safe to say Kenseth’s settled in on the dark side.
-
He had the car to beat all day.
-
Kenseth win'n from the pole is a huge feat in its self.......good on him 8) 8)
48 car still on top where it counts and the 5 car 37 points behind as first looser.... ;D ;D
JR needs to get busy with the top 10s & 5s...getting caught on pit row with by a caution sucks... :-\ :-\
Wondered why the Blue Deuce was not black flag'd laps before he caused da yellow... ::) 'cause of the Whining ???
Richmond next...Fri & Sat nites....no trucks 'til mid May... 8)

I know that Hamlin would like to driving at Richmond this weekend. I don`t want him to come back too soon and injure himself further.

You didn't let the Fat Lady sing yet......He got the trophy but looks like the gods of the connecting rod diet program shafted him on the rest.
-
One connecting rod was a 1/10th of an once off. I’d understand all eight but one? Whoever went over those things before assembly shoulda caught that. Oh well. It’s up to the star chamber from here.
-
That 20 has been too fast this year. Hendrick does not like that. Nascar is trying to give first-time and wonder wimp every advantage.
-
'Yota's and Fords have gotten into trouble so far, nothing on the Chevies. Just seems kinda odd ::) :-\
-
That sounds a little nit picking on Nascar `s part. I do not think that they should penalize the driver.

Roo, My Dad was always a Ford man. He loved the flat heads . He built me a 53 Merc engine for an old 52 Ford 2 door wagon I had. He put Offenhauser heads and a Wieand 2 carb manifold. It looked like crap but it ran like a bandit.

I had a 53 with he V8 Flat head I didn't need to go to the gym and work out, driving it was a chore. It sure run good though. I always wanted to duel carb it.

TRD got a bad batch of rods. Explains the vibrations some of the drivers complained about. Just wonder how they missed the weight disparity when they were balancin' the parts.
The Holdens’ll get caught in time. With the exception of Johnson they ain’t been real impressive. Steward’s been nothin’ less than embarrassin', kinda lookin’ like Jeff Green’s back in the Haas car. After someone else wins a couple more maybe.
This thing's been sittin’ there in Wakefield on the way to the range for some time. Finally remembered to pull over ‘n shoot it. Looks like the stuff in my father’s pictures when he ‘n uncle Tommy had ’97 ‘n runnin’ Chinese Corner ‘n South Boston.

He may not be as good a driver as his Dad was, but he's a good promoter/salesman ::)
I've been a blue oval guy from when I started driving. This last batch of vehicles aren't blue ovals though. One black oval and a blue oval collaborator. The blue oval just didn't have what I had in mind this time ::) :-\

Arcey,Best you might find is a 6 pack with 5 unopened cans,I don't know anyone who drank more than a couple sips of the first one they opened.Stuff was NASTY
-
I will agree with the Major on Billy beer. It was nasty tasting.
-
Hadda can, unopened, durin' the dark Carter years. Think I threw it away when we moved.
All the fun 'n games with the 20 didn't seem ta hurt the team's performance much. Pole.

They needed to prove to the folks that the personalities are not going to let them lose focus.

The next 3 races will be enjoyable

Jarvik should be happy with the Richmond win. It was the first win of the year for RCR. Congrats to WW and five time for finishing out of the top 10. I hope that five time will not be thr points leader for much longer.
-
T’was a mess. Racin’ at Richmond is all. Enjoyed the heck out of it.
Can't take it away from Harvick. He ain't got many left in him. Shame for Montoya. The boy can’t buy a break.

Richmond....great time...this time it was Kurt Busch as the heel.....Smoke just cracks me up.... :D :D :D
JR makes it to the top 10 with the 48 & 24 right behind...That's good stuff too.... ;) ;)

An old guy once told me the very short crowed tracks and the fact those stock flatties really wern't that fast kinda saved a lot of their arses because the speeds were not realy that fast.
-
We had a lot of fun on Sat. night at the old Amarillo Speedbowl, a quarter-mile dirt track. STOCK CARS and Super Modifiers.
-
There were Late Models ‘n Modified here. Before NASCAR took over everything. The rules were more or less local ‘n the two don’t relate much to the same thing today.
Remember a l’il bit of Chinese Corner. Where it was is just a couple miles from me on the way to the Toyota store. Sat at Virginia Beach Blvd. ‘n Witchduck Rd. School system owns the property now. They got a reform school sorta thing on it.
Grew up almost smack in the middle of Norfolk ‘n when they’d lug me along it seemed soooooooooooooooooooooooo far out in the middle of nowhere. Were no Virginia Beach as a sovereign city, it was Princess Anne County. VBBlvd. was two lanes, paved. Eight now with a median. I avoid it whenever I can.

A good picture of David Pearson and Cotton Owens. A young boy was killed at a drag strip, when Richard lost control of the antacids.

Those big windows are extremely rare now, Major. Not to mention expensive if you do find one ::) :o

They are worth a whole lot more if the back window is in good shape.

I don’t remember the last time I saw a fastback Valiant, greenhouse or no greenhouse.
Thinkin’ back I can’t remember if we had one in the club, don’t think we did. Someone had a very nice Lancer always lookin’ like it had just been prepped for customer delivery by Royal’s Tidewater Dodge in May of ’65 ‘n that was about as close as it got.
-
When I lived at home in Miami, and had just graduated High School.
Dr. Don Tarr was a neighbor, on the block behind and one house over.
I'd see his Daytona on a trailer at his house and go check it out.
Super nice guy, I'd guess he's in his late 80's now.
-
A lot on those '60's Mopar's are getting really rare. Rust problems? I had a '70 Dart Swinger at one time, not a HP car just the slant 6, but it was a honey. Was going to fix up the rust on it when I crunched it in an ice storm. Got it home and was calling my ins. when the frame broke in the drive. End of car :( :-\ :'(
-
I had a 71 Scamp AKA Duster Valient with a 318. Looked like an old lady car but it sure moved. Was comfotable ta sleep in too.
-
That Swinger was a nice looking car. Dark green bottom with a green vinyl roof, green vinyl interior, fake wood steering wheel. Once I got some maintenence done, it ran like a top ::)
-
I had a Orange colored ' cuda, Black Roof. Surprizingly never got into trouble with the Law, in that car. Not for the lack of trying. The Rivera I had was different story. I should ask my former wife if she has any photos of it.
-
Didn't get in trouble with any of mine. Drove to the letter of the law. Always. Just like now.
That stuff werked for Clinton 'n now days O'Bama.
-
What engine did you have in that 'cuda,lR? One of the guys I grew up with had a '70 Challenger with the 340. Metallic brown with a brown vinyl top and brown interior. Sharp car, at least until he rolled it in a corn field ::)
-
Had one of these but Dark Green with a white stripe...
(http://www.foundationpc.com/cars/74sprt10.jpg)
-
I had a new Duster once as well. Sort of a gold metallic, just a slant six though ::)
-
had the 340 I think some had a 318 in them also.
Major THat was a classic body style for Mopar's
I don't howmany of you have seen Counting Cars. He finds some real sweethearts to restore

That 225 Slant 6. has been around since 60. I had several Chrysler products Police cars. I owned a 74 New Yorker coupe with the 440.It was fast. I hated to change the spark plugs in it.
-
Aw yes, the MoPar 318, have had a couple of them, some call them the asthma engine, cause they have so much trouble breathing. ;D
-
Had a van with the 318.Also had the Plymouth version of the Aspen wagon Slim had, as well as one of those Chrysler land yachts but with the 400. That wagon was the only vehicle that our oldest couldn't destroy, but it sure had problems with the doors freezing up. Can't count how many times I had to crawl in the rear hatch during winters ::) :-\
-
Had a 1978 Dodge Magnum with a 360 in it,Had the lean burn computer that sucked,so I replaces it with an Edelbrock aluminum intake and a Holly650 4bbl carb.Also had to change the distributor so it would have a vacuum advance.Wish I had kept that one.Looked like this one. (without the flowers on the hood)

360's have real valves and ports, had a 79 with the stock thermo-quad, to be truthful the best car I ever owned, fast enough and got 23 or so on the highway.
I've heard 360 heads on a 318 makes them a decent moter.
-
Changed valve cover gaskets and rebuilt the two barrel Carter on the van,IIRC. It was a nasty mess under those covers. Also put headers on the van, that was my first experience with a Chioropractor after turning myself into a pretzel under it. Have had back and neck problems ever since. Biggest problems I had with Mopars was the tranny coolers in the radiators going bad and sending antifreeze into the tranny's , burning them up. Cooked a 904 and a 727 that way. ::) :-\

That 383 needed special tools to change the back spark plugs. Not enough room for your hands.
Also had a '77 Charger with a 400. Looked like the Magnum Major posted.

WOW!-----Regan Smith in the JR Motorsports #7 won the Aaron's 312 at Talladega Superspeedway thanks to the Yellow flag fly'n crash......Take 'em any way ya can...... ;D ;D ;D missed what happened to the pretty li'l girl at lap 19 or so ???
Goofy Owner's Points line up today.....doesn't matter for the checkered flag..... 8) 8) 8)
GO 88

As Arcey said, The body fabricators will be busy till July, building new super speedway cars for the Daytona race in July. Congrat to Regan Smith and JR motorsports on their victory in the NNS race at Talladega.

It looks like the track willbe dried in a couple of hours, maybe they will get it in tonight.

That tickled me. Watchin' two of Bob Jenkins' cars finish one, two was a hoot. Two more of the damned plate races left. Maybe Gilliland or Kvapil can win one.
Great finish.

OK, I found something really interesting doing some looking around at old hot rods, this one had me going WT**** (heck) till I read what there was on why, makes all the sense in the world now, and Henry's revenge ain't the reason. Would be fun to have now an pop the hood at some car show. ;D

My Dad would have enjoyed that. He wasn't a big Chevy fan, but he did love flat heads.

Had a sneaking suspicion, Del, but didn't want to venture a guess ::) :-\
-
I kinda like the David VS Goliath outcome , though I would have been just as please with Kenseth "in your face NASCAR finish"
Been Ok if Mikey had one more in him or ? maybe Shrub's Brother.
...anybody, but the "all that" Hendrick (s)quad !
Liked Shrub, man'n" up too
-
I like Kayne and Dale Jr., but not the other 2. I was glad to see Ragan and David Gilliland finish first and second. There have been several first time winners there since 69, when the track opened.
-
I met both of them & Chad at Loews Industrials I've staged... both times at the Marriott World.
They are personal & poised, I staged directed all three, nice guys .... I'm not sure what the deal is , it may be I root for the underdog.
Hendrick has the most resources, $$$$$$$ , and arguably the deepest driver talent pool....
I remember when McLaren & later Penske was the juggernaut, in Can-Am , & Penske at Indy.... Hendrick is the NASCAR juggernaut.
Like Audi at Lemans.
I love it when/if the little guy comes along and gets to shine....
I like to see Kurt Busch rip one off for his underfunded team , and Montoya or Ambrose win an oval ....
-
There have been several first time winners there since 69, when the track opened.
One hit wonders too…….
Richard Brickhouse, Dick Brooks, Lennie Pond, Ron Bouchard, Bobby Hillin, Phil Parsons……….
Spenser won one on each plate track, same year back ta back. No where else. Lent credibility to the allegations of the ‘McManifold’ Junior Johnson got out of a Happy Meal.
Daytona can only claim that with one inactive driver, Greg Sacks.
-
Who ever is near the front at Talladega on the last few laps can win there.
-
Bad day for ‘We're not going to take it. We're not going to be treated this way.’ Keselowski. Only the suspensions were reduced in the final appeal. Maybe he’ll take it now. His option, quit.
Nice job by the 24 ‘n 48 bunch for rattin’ ‘em out. Gained some points without leavin’ the garage area.
On top of that, it’s so evident to everyone Ragan didn’t deserve Keselowski’s baseless rant over the final restart Sunday, the mighty ’12 cup champion felt it necessary to apologize for the remarks – now that he’s had time to ‘digest,’ it of course. Video tapes a bitch. Huh, Bradley?
Penske’d be wise to keep duct tape handy to cover that fool’s mouth anytime he’s near a microphone.
-
Bradley does have an inflated ego. That 2012 Championship came too easy for him. He does have a bad case of hoof un mouth disease.
-
Glad to see the 20 get most it's points back,
I have my suspects they (NASCAR) will hype, wonder boy's 700th start at Darlington ,may even balance the beam in his favor ::)
for a win or at least the poll.
-
I am hoping that Wonder Wimp and 5-time finish out of the money at Darlington. I think that Matt got the shaft from NASCAR. He had no control over what parts that TRD had put in his engine. I sure hope he wins the Championship this year.
-
From Jayski’s site.
Matt Kenseth had lost 50 championship driver points; the Coors Light Pole award from April 19 at Kansas Speedway was not to be allowed for eligibility into the 2014 Sprint Unlimited; the first place finish from April 21 at Kansas Speedway wasn’t to earn bonus points toward the accumulated aggregate driver points total after the completion of the first 26 events of the current season and wasn’t to be credited towards the eligibility for a driver Wild Card position.
The appellate panel’s decision was Kenseth's points penalty reduced from 50 to 12 Kenseth's win at Kansas will now count for the Chase. All other components of his penalty were rescinded.
Crew chief Jason Ratcliff: The $200,000 fine remains intact; NASCAR’s suspension covers one championship points event. In addition, he will be placed on NASCAR probation until the completion of the next three championship points events following his reinstatement.
Joe Gibbs: Loss of championship owner points has been reduced to 12. All other components of his penalty were rescinded.
Toyota NASCAR Sprint Cup Series manufacturer championship points has been increased to seven. As I think it should be for work that friggin’ sloppy.
-
TED needs to be more proactive on the engines that it sells to the Toyota teams.
-
Whatcha wanna bet they got somebody nose deep in rods, weighin’ every one of ‘em before they go on ta checkin’ alignment, x-ray ‘n magnafluxin’?
-
What keeps nagging at me,
it every one of those motors are BLUEPRINTED.... there is a file and the weights & measures are clearly listed.
All the builders, Ford, Chevy, TRD blueprint the motors, someone @ TRD was skirting their responsibility.
I heard last night the Rod was made in Europe...
-
You cannot trust those darn Europeans.
-
Thru one procedure or another, the rods sent to assembly should have weighed 525 grams each. No more, no less. If one weighed too much or too little it shouldn’t have made it that far. One doesn’t trust the vendor for that sort of precision, one confirms it in-house.
It’s plain old simple attention to detail. Puttin’ a mismatched set in a motor, especially one rod Kenseth described as bein’ ‘way too heavy,’ is flat sloppy.
-
The whole thing is ridiculous. Even when me and my pards were buildin cars and morotcycles out of our garages we took the time to have a guy check the balance. Blind faith in a vendor is insane.
-
I agree with you both.... I still can't understand how it balanced ???
-
Somebody's scale must be wrong.
-
The Lady in Black has left her mark on the right rear quarters of Biffle and Danica. She is unforgiving.
-
Looked like JD 'n company were out for blood last night. That was a butt whippin'.
-
The infamous Darlington Stripe ::)
-
That track was designed for race cars going 100 mph, now they are reaching 200 mph on the straightaway.
-
;D ;D MOTHER's DAY! ;D ;D
Everyone finished "in some MONEY" TLD....last place Mike Bliss was $56,000.00 ::) ::) ::)
Glad to see that Matt Kenseth is on a wining role.....24 & 48 cars finishing 3rd &4th with JR pulling within the top 10 at 9th....
;) ;) ;)
All Star Race next Friday night
;D
-
First-time had better keep looking over his shoulder the rest of the season, Matt is on a mission to take the championship this year.
-
just reading that NASCAR driver Dick Trickle has ended his own life today. RIP
-
Sick was one of the all-time great short track drivers. He got into Cup late in his career. He willed by missed.
-
Suicides are difficult for families and friends to deal with. My thoughts and prayers for their strength and comfort.
-
There always a lot of unanswered questions in a suicide..
-
There saying he has been sick for sometime now
-
Sad news. Being a Wisconsinite, I've heard a lot about his exploits.
Slim
-
Sick was a legend in short track racing, especially AS A, he raced against Mark Martin and Rusty Wallace.
-
very sad :( it reminded me of Peter Gregg
-
Happy ta see the gas can stuck in the truck yestitty evenin’ Hadn’t been for that it wouldn’t have been much of a race.
Hope the rain holds off this evenin’. Should be fun. NASCAR’s even changed the fan-vote rules so the female gimmick can get in the big show.
-
CHECKERS OR WRECKERS TONIGHT! The fabricators will be busy for the next month or so.
-
If I had a nickle for every goofy commercial..............................
What the heck. Keeps it off pay-per-view.

Not as many wrecks as I predicted. I hated to hear that five time won the biggie. 24 finished out of the top ten.
-
The noise from Concord went past my curfew

Mine too... glad it did .... Impressed with Kurt though, he's gonna put Furniture Row Racing in Victory lane soon.
5 time is star crossed , I mean put him, Knaus , Hendrick's deep pockets together and you had the dynasty.
But it is also not the best thing, it will make for yawner's .... I remember how Bruce McLaren dominated Can Am.
The Bruce & Denny show was one of the nails in Can Am's coffin.
I went to several, and we would bet on & root for 3 place ::) then Mark & Penski with the 917 panzer Porsche... fun to watch but it was a given , and the Can Am was killed off. :(
Even Indy, is not the Show it was....

Indy is not like it was when we were younger. They are more about the show like the Kentucky Derby. Bring on the rich and famous not the fast and fastest
-
T’was a stinker.
NASCAR gets their panties inna wad when anyone clearly sez it but it couldn’t been more apparent restartin’ on the front row is, has been ‘n it’s gonna stay key ta winnin’ inta the foreseeable future on this ‘n similar facilities. Run the freakin' all star thing it Bristol.
Good ta see Patrick took advantage of the fan vote. She beat two. Flat out run ‘em while they were sittin’ in the garage with busted cars. She’s gotta load of talent ‘n she’s learnin’.
Indianapolis began a slow death when the life was choked outta the turbines.
-

......Can not agree more...."Gen whatever regs" keep it in NASCAR control as "stock" was removed from "stock car" years ago....Dodge was King last year but not in the show at all this year and the Yota's have made huge progress....no real "dynasties" in NASCAR...just talent and teamwork firing on ALL cylinders replacing weak parts as needed BEFORE they break...... ;)
The "haters" despise what they can not achieve for themselves.. just sad..... ::) ::) ::) ::)
5-time is now 4-time All Star champ
Back-in-the-day I call the 48 "Crash Johnson"...I'm humble enough to eat my words.. :D :D :D The team walks thier talk.... ;)
A lot of beat'n & bang'n with no one run'd over...jus good race'n...Toad sure put out the whine'n :D :D :D
JR is the 7th All Star and that's good enuf for me.... 8)
GO 88
;D
Next race... Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte Motor Speedway as the trucks have off next weekend... 8) 8)
-
I am surprised that Nascar let the team's work on their cars on pit row during the break. That was a no-no in the past.
-
Few years ago, JGR was bustin’ ever’bodys chops in Nationwide ‘n NASCAR choked down all the Toyotas. Busch thanked ‘em on national TV sayin’ takin’ the power helped him win a road course race. Wearin’ ‘em out like he’s doin’ after Logano’s runs last year I’m thinkin’ NASCAR's prolly an eighth of an inch from chokin’ ‘em down again.
Logano’d won three to this point last year. Busch has six so far. Only grace today was him playin' with Kahne at the end......
-
Putting Matt in the #20 this year helped both Matt and JGR.
-
::) ::) REALLY.... a Fox Sports camera cable "Red Flags" the Coke Cola 600..... ??? ???
Good Grief.... :-\ :-\
GO 88

Congrats to the "Closer" for another win. Break out the cheese with the whine for we and first-time.
-
Glad to see TK get the win, it was something of the old Indy's with nostalgia...
Thought, Kurt did a fine job, a touch of luck and he's gonna get a checkered flag.
"Putting Matt in the #20 this year helped both Matt and JGR" ... hasn't hurt Sliced Bread, moving him to the 22 either.
-
An unenviable position Francis found himself in. Bring the thing in and the dregs, there by attrition, stay out. The car’s stuck behind them with too few laps left to get thru the mess. Leave it out they pit, take tires and we saw what happened.
That’s racin’……………….
-
Major 2, I agree. Tony K was long overdue a win at Indy. He was disappointed so many times.
-
;D ;D RACE DAY! ;D ;D
Good on Sliced Bread win'n Nationwide yesterday & the Former Mile High Race Team Driver is still top in points... 8)
Monster Mile starts a bunch of Yota's in the front of top 10 inna few hours ...see how long that's gunna last...

Juan came mighty close
-
Let me send out a big hunk of "RAT" cheese to go along with the whine to five-time and a third place to we.
-
Juan came mighty close
Smoke & JPM got to the front by pit'n strategy & 48's screw-up; however, Juan got SMOKED by .788 seconds of which the math comes to over 175 feet 'round 20 car lengths......a relatively distant first looser.....NOT so close, good points yes.... JR way back there but 10th........ ;)
Next week everyone at their own track....Sprint @ Pocono.....Nationwide @ Iowa....Trucks @ TX Motor Speedway

It should be hot and muggy for the Trucks at TMS this weekend.

I missed all the races this weekend. I was at the NCOWS National Shoot at Evansville, Indiana.
-
The cup thing was a snoozer. Folks settled in ‘n followed one ‘nother around. Phantom debris caution to bunch things up. Restart. Folks settled in ‘n followrd one ‘nother around. Repeat. Pocono. Seen one you’ve seen ‘em all. Turnt it on the radio out in the barn ‘n did gun stuff. OFSDAR Thursday it West Point.
Got high hopes for next week. Thought California was right decent. Maybe it’ll rub off. Pavement’s been thru another Michigan winter. Could be a hoot. Other’n that I’m waitin’ for Daytona. Then there’s a long dry spell ‘til Bristol.
-
I sure hope we will not call him 6 time at the end of the year.
-
The way he & Knaus are clicking it will be tough to best him... heard the found the car to low after the race... but NASCAR poo pawed it and the points & win stand. :-\
-
Never wanna see a thief prosper. Wouldn’t be right if they built this point lead thru Richmond then watch it reduced after that ‘n someone what didn’t do as well over the full 36 win it. Same rules for all tho.
-
Five time and WW are the poster boys for NASCAR, and exempt from most penaltys from NASCAR.
-
Again, it’s not comfortable for me to be an advocate for criminal slime. Johnson got popped jumpin’ a restart last week. In predictable, O’Bama-like fashion, the expected whinin’ ‘n blamin’ of Montoya followed immediately ‘n lasted all week but NASCAR did bust ‘im for it. The probable truth of the matter is Johnson didn’t think they’d call ‘im on it.
That scribbled, I ain’t seen or heard of Knaus fudgin’ anything at Pocono Sunday past. What am I missin’?
-
KNAUS is sneaky, he thinks that he is smarter than the other crew chiefs. I am sure that they are pushing the envelope on the cars.

Arcey, Thanks for the info on Leffler`s death. I had not received my National Speed Sport News e-mail for today. Those sprint cars are dangerous in a a rollover.

Gunna miss that fin pointed hair-do on that fellas head...Always thought that he was a good driver but lacked that bit of win-drive to cross the finish line first constantly...kept his cars clean and competitive unless he got caught up in the messes.... :'( :'( :'(

A lot of the drivers from the Midwest got their start in Sprint cars. Short wheelbase cars with big horsepower engines and not safe in rollovers.

Hehehehehehehehe……………….
Ahhhhhhhh, the stuff that is TV.
Andy Petree, with atrocious grammar, spoke of air, clean/dirty, difficult passin’ ‘n such. Hornish just described the groove as only two ‘n a half lanes wide.
Just last week, Kyle Petty was hypin’ up the track for the dumb masses as being wide enough the air didn’t matter. Kyle's hangin' onta that hard card.

Saturday was a great day for the former "Mile High Race Team" driver....Regan Smith in the JRMS #7.....JR's 5 car finished sixth!
NICE!
Bad day today as the right front tire seemed to be the Nemesis directing the cars into the wall pretty hard... :P :P
Then What The Heck...JR run'n for a possible win and engine smokes..... >:( >:(
AAAaahhh hell hada great day yesterday.... ;D
Everyone at their own road course tracks next weekend as the truck off again...
8) 8) 8)
-
The Michigan track has always partial,,to Ford's. Congrats to Biffle and Happy.

Most Wins by Manufacturer: 36 - Ford; 20 - Chevy; 4 - Toyota....Looks like NO for Dodge.... ;)
jayskie's

Bill Elliot had several wins in his Ford in the 80s.
-
Yesterday makes one thankful for the time compression abilities of DVRs.
-
Congrats to The Dinger on his first Nationwide win!
-
;D RACE DAY! ;D
Was a good race to watch yesterday at Road America WI for those without Attention Deficit Disorder.... ;)
Regan Smith still leads the Nationwide points for JR Motor Sports....nice...
Today the lefts & rights is anyone's guess on the leftist coast....I'll stick with the "girl I bring to the dance"... 8)
GO 88
-
I watch the 24 Hours , Sadly there was fatality , Driver Allan Simonsen crashed his Aston Martin 10 Minutes in , and died of his injury's. :(
Another Audi win
Dinger did well, it's crap shoot at Sonoma ....
-
Congrats to Truex on his win at Sonoma, breaking a long losing streak.
-
The Junior that actually knows how to drive a stock car plum wore ‘em out. Seein’ on the results he led close ta half of it. Do some readin’ in the mornin’ ta see how some lucked inta their finishes ‘n what happened to some others.
Happy for my ole friends at NAPA too.
As much of a joke as MWR was when it started, who’d thought they’d have won two on that silly track – straight - ‘n with inferior, non-ringer drivers.
-
The class of the field this day was Truex , with honorable mention to the elder Busch.
-
I can never stand to watch a lot of a road course race.
-
I'm about the same with Ovals ..left turn ...another left turn
Both take great finess though...
I'm more into Road Racing ... I've never cared for Drags.
The old Riverside track was very cool to watch the old Stock Cars with AJ , Dan Gurney & the elder Andreti .
-
I finally got to see the Riverside track on a visit to California, but The track had been closed, as well the Ontario Speedway.
-
I been reading all day that Kyle Petty has been running his mouth about the pretty lady. Right or wrong he drives a microphone better than a car. 25 years ago i'd told you he was a great guy
-
Kyle has become a legend in his own mind. He can not even get along with his own father.
-
There was a time he did , I met both at a Pontiac Industrial I staged, I remember it was the big intro for the Fiero.
Both were Drivers at the time, Kyle had his future ahead of him (8 wins in Cup).
Losing Adam, messed him up a lot....
Still, I think he should have held his tongue :-\
-
Not to mention Pattie's health 'n their personal problems.
Thing I'm curious about is how long it's gonna take before folks - not the professional hypers, fans - acknowledge he's right.
Press conference when she announced the move she said she was doin' it to 'grow my brand.' Nothin' about bein' a competitive driver.
-
They gotta have some controversy to match the Paula Deen news.
-
They gotta have some controversy to match the Paula Deen news.
spot on .... publicity even "bad" publicity is gets the brand notoriety ,
gets people buzzing ::) frankly I did not even know all the company's carried PD ware & hype , didn't care ...still don't !
-
Wonder what happens if Patrick fesses ta usin' the dreaded 'n' werd...................................
-
She looks better in a bikini than Kyle Petty.
-
;D RACE DAY! [night]... ;D. ;D
Less than a hour 'n half 'till the 88 leads the field in Kentucky.... 8) 8) 8)
GO 88
-
Big time rain delay at Kentucky. We could use some that rain in the D/FW area.
-
She looks better in a bikini than Kyle Petty.
Have ta take yer word for it. Wouldn’t ‘n don’t wanna know. Never seen Petty in a Bikini.
I’ve seen Patrick’s tramp-stamp on the web. Magazines air-brush it out. If I was curious about her performance I’d ask Stenhouse. Looks wise I prefer fully developed women.
Read the article on Petty o’er breakfast ta see what the rub was. He did, in fact, make an error. Her average start this year thru the road thing last week is 32nd (gotten inta 7 on OP). Her Turtle like runs give ‘er an average finish ‘bout six spots up in the ‘top 26.’ She races better than she qualifies. He was right on the ‘marketing machine’ thing. Others have referred to her as a cash cow. Same difference.
That said, we all shoulda known what this was. Did soon as I saw it on NASCAR’s site. It’s a cheap bump. It’s a set up aimed at the fan with dual citizenship so to speak – NASCAR ‘n professional rasslin’. Get ‘em talkin’ ‘n buyin’ chinese made junk. .
-
;D RACE DAY! [night]... ;D. ;D
Less than a hour 'n half 'till the 88 leads the field in Kentucky.... 8) 8) 8)
GO 88
Delayed...'till:
NOON Eastern on Sunday.....that would be tomorrow... ;)
-
I figured, when I flipped over to TBS and it was a Law & Order rerun...
-
I kinda lucked out. Inside stuff's been neglected for gun stuff. I'll get that done with a fresh race for background noise. Wasn't gonna try'n stay up to see any of it last evenin' anyway.
-
Happy Birthday Corvette 8) 8) 8) 8)..."60".... ;)
;D ;D RACE DAY! ;D ;D.....part two.... ;)

Just choked on a cookie reading that. Mow to find some clorkx to wash that image out if my mind.
-
Do a Google image search for Linda Vaughn. That should flush it right out.
-
I got to see Linda in person at the Amarillo Dragway in the 60s.She was there doing a promo for Hurst.
-

Hurst Shifter gal.......that works
-
Linda still looks good. I saw her on a episode of the Barrett-Jackson auction. They were selling one of her Hurst cars.
-
Nothin’ else ever felt quite like ‘em.
The shifters I mean.
-
I never had a Hurst shifter, I always felt like I missed out, by not having one. I did get to use a Jaws of Life as a first responder.
-
Hadda Hurst Mystery shifter in the ’55. Some folks called ‘em Misery shifters. The thing wasn’t very good. Spent the extra coin ‘n replaced it with a Competition Plus. Put one in the Sprint ‘n another one in the F-100. Bought a ‘T’ handle, kept it when I sold the car ‘n put the same one on the truck. Still got it, it’s in the attic somewhere. Those were as good as a conversion got at the time. They were slick ‘n the throw stops kept ya from knockin’ the crap out of the transmission when ya got a l’il aggressive.
-
I had a 64 Sprint, but it was an automatic. It was white with red interior, with wire wheel covers. It had a factory ranch on the dash.

Them 70's models factory sifter would break off the Coloum. You had to put a Hurst or a floor sifter in to go any wheres, learned starting n stopping in 3rd just didn't work.
-
Congrats to Matt Kenseth on his Nationwide victory at Daytona.
-
Fairly decent for a plate race. 150 miles more this evenin'. Hope it's 'nuff ta keep me awake.

that's an hour by the car speeds but three hours with the Yellows and commericals

More time for 'em ta throw phantom cautions - dependin' on who needs a lap back.

As a replacement/conversion, the Mystery thing wouldn't break. But, it had kinda a collet thing held the stick inta the mechanism. That'd let go on 1 ta 2 shift with a three speed 'n ya'd punch the dashboard. If I'd had a decent radio with push buttons I'd have changed stations a few times. As I got older I wondered why they'd put their good name on junk.

That's exactly it. I was happy redneck when they started coming out with 4 and 5 speed tranny's. My 88 had the 302 and 5 speed got better mileage with a trailer than the last truck did without one.
-
I slept through the Cup race last night, I do not think that I did not miss anything.

Recap:
Start, sort out, follow the guy in front. ServiceMaster Clean caution then an American Ethanol green flag restart, sort out, follow the guy in front.

I would like to thank all of those sponsors that made the restarts possible.

Heh, heh, heh..... Nice shot, Tex.

I watched the NHRA dragging racing last night, I had not watched in a while. the Pro Stocks are my favorite.
-
I just read in the National Speed Sport News that Newman is the odd man out at Stewart-Haas Racing. harvick is replacing him and will drive #4, sponsored by Budweiser.
-
just snagged this gem out of comcast
Johnson (referring to Jimmy) will actually start behind 71-year-old Morgan Shepherd. Shepherd will become the oldest driver to start a NASCAR Sprint Cup race.
Shepherd, who went only 128.290 in qualifying, made his Cup debut in 1970 and won four times in NASCAR's top series. He finished as high as fifth in the final standings in 1990 and hasn't started a race since 2006.
Four-time Cup champion Jeff Gordon had no problem with Shepherd competing on Sunday.
``I think that's quite an accomplishment,'' Gordon said. ``We talk about how amazing it is to see Mark Martin out there being competitive over 50 years old, but to just go out there and do what he does as far as Morgan is concerned at 71, that's amazing.''
-
Morgan has been racing in the Nationwide series, lately. James Hylton, who is older than Sheppard, has been racing in the ARCA series.
-
AH HA! Knaus done been caught with his front wing too low, the thief lovin’ cheater! Move Johnson to the back.
Good deal for Shepherd. Depending on the split with old man Keselowski he’ll make more on this start than he has all year runnin’ his own stuff in the minor league.
On ‘nother note, the finish yestitty made an otherwise borin’ race kinda decent. Without NASCAR tryin’ ta manipulate things with ServiceMaster Clean® cautions for phantom debris.
-
Can Phantom debris cause Phantom wrecks?
-
Only the Phantom knows for sure………………………………….
Damned if I ain’t thrilled for Vickers ‘n MWR.
Amusingly ironic. The ServiceMaster Clean® cautions that started the end of Steward’s bid to luck into a win were over screw ups by ‘his’ employees. Perfect.
-
I hope this victory insures he will have the 55 ride for next year. That car is competitive with whom ever is driving it.
-
So do I.
Ain’t thinkin’ Waltrip, personally, is real high on anyone’s list of favorites. That said, the clown has surrounded himself with some pretty good people, Ty Norris for one.
MWR has gone from a joke, losing sponsors ‘n in danger of losing others, cars that were just as likely to load up ‘n go home after qualifyin’ as racin’, to contenders. The 55 ‘n 56 with wins ‘n the 15 second in points this season ain’t too shabby.
Lookin’ like they’ve disposed of Childress ‘n they’re holdin’ their own against Penske ‘n Roush.
-
Me 3 :)
I'm always pull'n' for an underdog ..Vickers is deserving
Kinda like to see him make the chase...
-
Vickers has had several people that still believed in him through all of his adversities.
-
Ain’t much for dirt stuff. That said I don’t remember bein’ this up for a race in a good while as I am for the truck thing this evenin'. Heat races ‘n such. No idea what the set ups are gonna look like. Buncha folks wantin’ some kinda bad ta go for the first win on dirt in a tourin’ series event in forty years. This thing could be a knock-down-drag-out-take-no-prisoners the likes of which are rarely seen.
Weather forecast for Ohio looks awful nice for racin’ ‘n the fans. Fantastic!
-
I grew up watching sprints, supper modifiers, and stockers on the quarter mile dirt track, the Amarillo Speedbowl. We owned a sprint car in the early 50s.
-
Barely remember Chinese Corner. Pret good of Moyock 'n Richmond in dirt. Remember when both were paved. N'er saw Langley in dirt.
Was expectin' a bit more from the past evenin'. Thinkin' the 'ringer' fans were too. Still, I've seen far worse.
-
They had a crowd of around 25,000 to see it. Not bad for a Wednesday night.
-
Wunner if Roush is bringin’ in ‘nuff sponsorship money ta pay for the damage the circus act specialist he has in the 60 is doin’.
-
They had a crowd of around 25,000 to see it. Not bad for a Wednesday night.
Had huge number for TV viewers
-
Ol Pastrami sure has torn up a bunch of race cars, sorta like Stenhouse did, when he first started.
-
Congrats to Newman on winning the Brickyard 400 and congrats to Johnson's pit crew for that 17 second pits top that put Newman in the lead for good.
-
That's what happened, huh? Did they ever have an on track pass for the lead?
Watched to the first round of stops then figgered the fly over was gonna be the best part 'n I'd seen it. It's some special thing 'n the radio station wasn't carryin' it. Went off 'n did sumthin' else. Last I checked Johnson was out front.
Ennyways, that's two down 'n three ta go before we get to summore good stuff.
-
Couldn't find it what with musical networks swapping the broadcasts... course I didn't look to hard..... :-\
Figured NASCAR wanted JJ to get his 5th. , glad Newman won, hope he gets good ride for next year.
-
The rear tire changer on Johnson's team is the guilty person, Knaus will prolly kick him to the curb. He will prolly be demoted to sanitation engineer.
-
Oh well................ Poopers occurs......
From the finish it looks like the 56 bunch werked their collective behinds off 'n almost cracked the top ten.
-
It sounds like the Redskins are gonna keep RGIII out of the preseason games. I hope that knee is fully healed when the regular season starts.
-
Gotta trust the coachin’ staff on that. Griffin ain’t got no sense of self preservation. The boy’s nuts.
-
He carried that whole Baylor team on his back and he did the Redskins the same way last year. he has no fear.
-
If they didn't pick it off the AP wire down Dallas way.
http://hamptonroads.com/2013/07/rgiii-i-dont-really-worry-about-my-leg-anymore
-
I still think that they should keep him out of the pre-season games, for fear of injury.
-
Arcey, I got my new Redskins ready for the pre-season.
-
NASCAR gave Gordon a shot. It almost worked. Reckon they didn’t count on Kenseth losin’ it a few laps later. Didn’t think it was all that bad for Pocono.
Anyway, two snoozers down, two ta go ‘n we’ll get down to some serious racin’.
-
I am just glad that someone else besides WW and JJ won yesterday.
-
http://hamptonroads.com/2013/08/tony-stewart-breaks-right-leg-iowa-crash
That was just posted when I was scannin' the paper.
I totally agree with the greatest driver that ever lived, just ask 'im, and fully support his enterin' each 'n every sprint car race he possibly can. Heck, one in the day time 'n one it night. He has an airplane.
-
It will be interesting to see who they put in the #14 for Watkins Glen this weekend.
-
He made a comment as he was getting annoyed with the questioning about his flip the other day ..
Something, like "you mere mortals should understand , bla bla it was no big deal, it happens....
well, guess you're mortal your own self there Smoke , dems the breaks huh ! there goes the wild card
-
Those sprint cars, midgets, and Silver Crown are unguided missiles, waiting to flip. I am glad that Tony only received a broken leg for his troubles.
-
What’s funny is the guy he’s kickin’ to the curb ta get some InBev cash may well be the one that knocks him outta the championship thing. Nothin’ personal, Newman – just bidness
Stewart knows those cars as well as anyone. His choice to get in the thing. The l’il owieeeeee is gonna cost he ‘n Haas a shot millions of dollars.
Oh well.................................
-
I hope it kicks the door open for Newman, and Truex.
Newman may get the 55....though Vickers should
-
It's gonna be interesting to see what happens when "silly season" starts..
-
It looks like Max Papis will be subbing for Tony Stewart this weekend at Watkins Glen.
-
Max the Ax is Road Racing ACE , if he can wrap around handle on the NASCAR Brickmobiles he'll do well.
Smoke may have more issues that the broke leg, blood thinners are needed prevent clots.
He won't be cleared to return while on thinners because he could bleed to death if involved in a wreck.
He might be back, somewhere in the Chase, but he's toast in making it in to the chase...Good for Newman though.
-
I had not heard about Smoke being on blood thinners, those are usually reserved for old farts like me. I have been fortunate not to have been on them at any time.
-
Arcey, Congrats to the Skins on their preseason win over the Titans.
-
Hail!
-
I was really surprised that the cowboys beat Miami. They play the dreaded Oakland Raiders next.
-
The game weren't shown here. I keep fergettin' I got the NFL netwerk thing.
Be interestin' ta see how many owner's points JD gets back they lost ta Penske last week. Thinkin' Penske's dreamin' he's gonna catch the 54. Never know tho.
-
Thanks to a fumble on a kickoff return by the boys, Oakland got any easy touchdown and won the game. I do not think that Oakland is that good. The Dallas defense looks better in the 4-3 than the 3-4.
-
Did anyone play any starters?
Busch fouled that up all by hisownself yestitty. Did manage a Patrick like finish with a beat up car.
-
He can win races, but can he win a championship?
-
I just heard that WW had be involved in a wreck.
-
He’s got a shot if he can get some breaks like the caution flyin’ when he was leavin’ the pits. That won it. I was wonderin’ what Ambrose would do in traffic ‘n found out. In front was kinda critical.
Was on the radio when Gordon wrecked 'n didn't see it. Said he did it all by himself. The ole boy sounded kinda low in the MRN interview. Too bad about a couple of the thief's other cars. Was awful sad ta see that happen to 'em.
-
June BUG's and Kasey's cars were so much scrap. I was sorta hoping that Truex would win yesterday.
-
Friends or not Business or not
Newman's got to be thinking " Hint hint Hint ;D ...boss is out ! I'm looing pretty good right now , only S/H car in the chase ...maybe ?
Gordons is "polly" out, less NASCAR pulls some rabbit out of its hat.
-
It looks like JJ may be the only HMS car in the Chase.
-
Naugh ..Jr & Kayne will be there ... To many tricks in the book to exclude them.
Gordon too ..if'n Papa Hendricks forks over the cash...
The Coach looks good with Shrub & Kenseth
Roush for 2 spots
Figure on Childress for one spot with Harvick
and MWR another
Best figure one for the defending champ
I'd like to see Furniture Row get in
that's my pick
-
it is about to get Western around this Sprint Cup Series.
-
Ya can bet NASCAR’s gonna do all they can do ta get Gordon ‘n the other one a win by Richmond. Michigan this weekend. Latarte could come up with another mileage win.
Keselowski ‘n Bowyer are both in at the moment. Don’t care much for one of ‘em but I’d take either one winnin’ it all without winnin’ a race. Maybe that’d embarrass NASCAR enough ta trash this chase thing
Hearin' Stewart's outta the hospital. Hope he heals up in time ta run a lot ah sprint car things soon's they get underway next year. Show us mortals what racin' really is. After all, "You guys need to watch more sprint car videos and stuff. It was not a big deal. It's starting to get annoying this week about that, so that was just an average sprint car wreck. When they wreck they get upside down like that. That was not a big deal."
-
I think that JJ is prolly a lock to make the Chase, It's a crap shoot for the rest of the drivers.
-
CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) — Racer Bobby Dale Earnhardt apologized to fans, friends and family on Tuesday following his arrest in West Virginia on a drunken driving charge.
``I wanted to let you all know I made a terrible mistake last night drinking and driving and I am thankful nothing bad happened from my stupidity and I know It could have,'' Earnhardt wrote in a post on his Facebook page.
``I'm sorry for letting all my fans friends and family down,'' said Earnhardt.
The 25-year-old is the son of Kerry Earnhardt, nephew of Dale Earnhardt Jr. and grandson of NASCAR Hall of Fame member Dale Earnhardt.
Earnhardt said that he hopes he can ``make it up to each and everyone of you and in the future be a good role model.''
A Charleston police officer pulled Earnhardt's vehicle over Monday night after seeing it make a wide left turn at a high rate of speed, with the tires squealing through the turn. Earnhardt was charged with first-offense driving under the influence, a misdemeanor, according to a criminal complaint filed in Kanawha County Magistrate Court.
Earnhardt's eyes were glassy and his speech was slurred, and there was an odor of alcohol inside the vehicle, Cpl. R.C. Basford wrote in the complaint.
Earnhardt's blood alcohol level was .193, more than twice West Virginia's legal limit to drive of .08. He told Basford that he had had two shots of liquor at a local bar, according to the complaint.
He spent the night in the South Central Regional Jail and was released Tuesday morning following an arraignment.
If convicted, he faces up to six months in jail and a maximum $500 fine.
Earnhardt moved to Charleston from Rockingham, N.C., recently as part of a plan to gain driving experience and eventually compete in NASCAR races. He plans to race in the 2013 ARCA Truck Series, according to his website.
Earnhardt said in his Facebook post that he plans to move forward with his racing career.

-
‘He told Basford that he had had two shots of liquor at a local bar, according to the complaint.’
Where have I heard that before?
If y’all ain’t read it yet, Vickers ‘n MWR have a two year deal ta stick the boy in the 55 full time. Happy for ya, Brian. Do sumthin’ with it.
-
and Montoya is out of the 42 .... My guess he's in a Indy Car for Chip Ganassi
maybe Daytona Prototype/ La Patite' Lemans as well...
Who get the 42 ? .... Kurt Busch or Newman ( or dark horse Kyle Larson )
I think the open seat at Childress goes to nepotism
-
The "silly season" has started. I am happy for Vickers. He deserved the 55 ride full -time. I would like to see Newman in the 42 ride. Montoya needs a change of scenery. I am sorry to hear about Kerry's son's DWI. .19 is drunk, I am glad that no accident occurred and no one was injured or killed. He deserves a second chance. Arcey and I have heard all the drunk excuses.
-
Gotta admit I didn’t see that comin’. Figgered Montoya was kinda gonna be a fixture in the 42 ‘til he got tired of it. Ganassi ain’t exactly projected an image of wantin’ serious contenders inna good while. Really didn’t give it much thought.
Tiz prime time for the game of Musical ButlerBuilts.
-
The Cawffee and hot water is ready for drinking this morning. We finally got some well deserved rain last night. I am thankful for what we got. It is somewhat cooler this morning. Moose is off to school to finish cleaning out her room at her former school. I am on my second cup of Cawffee, some toast will come later.
-
TLD,I thought we only drank Beer on this thread.. ;D ;D

Major, I had a Senior moment this morning when I posted that.
-
I just read where Austin Dillion will sub for Tony Stewart At MIS this weekend.
-
Wonder what the deal is with that. It’s not a companion event. He’ll have to be in Ohio ‘n Michigan on consecutive days. Only 3 points in front of Hornish in NWS points. Needs the reps on road courses where he ain’t that good. Ain’t won a NWS race this year.
Smith has plenty of cup experience. Was talk of with him takin’ it over while Tony-the-Sprint-Car-Gymnast heals up. Cleared thru the thief ‘n everyone involved is in that cabal anyway.
Childress musta thrown a sweet deal.
-
I am sure some wheels got greased.
-
Rumor is Kurt is headed to the 42 .... Still think its Newman though....something in the Childress Grand-kid in the 14 ....Then do the solid for Smoke's buddy Ryan. Win Win all around.
-
Could be. Just gotta wonder if Target'd want someone with his 'wunderful' personality.
-
Sliced Bread the pole for MIS, another notch for Ford. Them Fords run good at Michigan.
-
Furniture Row right there beside him.... those guys continue to roll.
But yeah ..Arcey that's why I think there is a Childress-Dillon-Newman-Stewart thing going on.
-
Reckon it could be so, M2. Childress is losin’ the InBev cash. Newman ain’t got much ta offer ta replace that but he’s got sumthin’. There’s the Bass Pro connection twix Haas ‘n Childress.
Furniture Row has cut from the thiefdom ‘n aligned with RCR but Busch the elder wants sumthin’ better. Ganassi ain’t no better. The advantage FR has is they ain’t lookin’ for a sponsor.
I have reached the conclusion that I’m flat outta guesses. Bring on the rodeo clowns.......
-
What Arcey said!,
;D
-
10/4 .... I just seem to think " the what if's "
Eventually, Childless wants the grand kids , Austin & Ty.
I figure JPM in a Indy run next May, maybe a run for the combined
American Le mans/ Grand Am series under the Ganassi flag.
I doubt, Larson will get the ride in 2014, but stranger things have happened ....
Furniture Row has their Hero, and he is both rising to & relishing the position, he is showing "He" & his talent are capable.
It an opinion he does not share alone.
Now what if FR added a 2nd car.... Found some additional funding and sorta MWR it ????
How's that for out there ?.... :)
More development platforms for Hendricks
Furniture Row 2nd Car hmmmm.... Newman ? or maybe even Mark Martin
-
it's a possibility!
-
Congrats to The Dinger on his Nationwide win.
-
Never saw a replay. Anyone know if Kelly went in the gravel on his own or did Hornish help 'im a l'il?
-
I missed that. Hornish is now the Nationwide points leader.
-
Congrats to sliced bread on his win at MIS. Those Penske Fords were fast all weekend. MIS has become a Ford track as of late. A big hunk of rat cheese for 5-time to go with his whine and a 17th place fo WW.
-
Tolerable for Michigan.
Not the best day for JGR or the thief.
Gettin' crowded 'round the bottom of the championship thing.
Heard the Martin rumor on MRN. Would be a good deal all the way 'round.
-
Mark could give some good finishes for the 14 car. Mark can still drive a race car and he is always in top physical condition. he is a great mentor to younger drivers.
-
Got to hand it to the kid..he's fast & has been consistant.
I think, NASCAR will have to help Gordon, if he is to get in... Kurt is doing it in their face...
-
I just read SHR offers ride to Kurt Busch for 2014....
So if Kurt goes to Stewart/Hass in a 4 th. car, Newman was robbed ...
However except for pretty girl...that will be a stong driver line up with Stewart/Busch/Harvich /---------$ cash cow Patrick $
That should put Newman in the 29
-
The rumors about Mark Martin and Kurt Busch driving for SHR are interesting. I don't think that Newman will have any trouble getting a ride for next year.
-
SHR & even Furniture Row are Hendricks stable customer cars.... So if KB came with Monster Energy money I could see the 4th Car at
SHR.... Be interesting to see the two hot heads teamed up....
But I think both are seeing that Long Green Trumps short temper RED.
I personally think Newman gets the 42 , or the long shot is a short 1 or two year contract at RCR.
I think MM gets a sweet deal .. finishes the year for Smoke, then a development coach at RCR for the Grand kids ( not a bad plan )
and a few select wheel jobs with RCR just to satisfy his racy itch in 2014 and beyond.
-
If they can put a deal tagether for the older Busch that’ll give the thief eight cars.
The FR operation is RCR affiliate. One of their admin dudes just left Denver for Welcome, NC. The official werd is a change of employment but that’s kinda like Gordon “ownin’” the 48. Inbreedin’ ‘n nepotism.
Thinkin’ Newman to RCR myownself. Just wonder how that squares, or he squares it, or if it was honest when he said he wanted to go to someone who wanted him for him. RCR wants him for the sponsor’s money ‘n ta keep the seat warm for the grand kids.
A ride’s a ride. Hell, I’d take it if I couldn’t get any better. Wonder if Stewart'll let 'im keep the number and/or Childress'd let 'im use it.
-
I could have sworn FR bought it cars from Hendricks, seems I saw the decal on side :-\
FR operation is RCR affiliate, ??? huh , well I learnt something today :) you're spot on right !
I see JPM may go with an Andretti Indy car ... I think he'll do well....
"Wonder if Stewart'll let 'im keep the number and/or Childress'd let 'im use it." interesting
I don't think RC will let the # 29 go , Harvick took the Bud Sponsorship , I'll bet Childress is still reeling.
SHR will stick BUD on the # 39 with Harvick ... just my guess
-
I had heard that Harvick would have #4 with Bud sponsorship at SHR for next year.
-
#4 missed that I guess ....
wasn't that the old Kodak # Ernie Irvan drove in the early 90's ?
-
Thought I saw Harvick’d drive a 4 car too. Don’t know if NASCAR took the number from McClure ‘n put it up for grabs or if he sold the rights. 39 was Newman’s semi-pro number. I dunno.
‘Course, the RCR-FR thing goes in the crapper if Toyota offers FR a better package than the government’s retail automotive manufacturin’/marketin’ division. Then they could be the top dog of a hook-up with the Geschickters ‘n Daugherty.
‘N I’m throwin’ stuff it the wall agin, fer giggles. Sumthin’ might stick…..
-
That is just one of the many reasons that it is called the"silly season".
-
The Truck race is about to start in Bristol.
-
Truex's little brother will drive the 51 car in the SprintCup race at Bristol this weekend.
-
It's a ride...not much competition, but a ride none the same...
Shrub looks to be trying for the sweep again @ Bristol he's done it before ...
-
Kyle did win the truck race in Bristol. Bristol races are always interesting and full of controversy.
-
Wow………….
You get out ‘n stand in the pits watchin’ someone else practice your car because you ain’t turnin’ in good numbers. Gotta be kinda like standin’ ‘n watchin’ someone else tryin’ ta figger out if the problem is you or your girlfriend……..
-
Sadler felt like Kyle's prospective would help him and the prep of his car.
-
Kyle wins the Nationwide race on Friday night, to go along with the Truck series win on Thursday night. He is going for a three Pete tonight in the Sprint Cup race tonight. He had one of the fastest cars the entire race.
-
Took some of the owners' points back. N'er did see much on Kelly's off road excursion what caused 'em ta lose it. All's there was was he spun fightin' Hornish for position or sumthin' equally vague.
Thinkin' that's nine for Busch. He's facin' very long odds this evenin' on the cup side.
-
No hill for a stepper!
-
Capable, oh yeah. Desire, yeah. Pit crew, yeah. Car, could be. Impatient, yeah. Ill tempered, yeah. Foul up qualifyin’ ‘n get stuck behind unpredictable, deficient back markers such as Patrick (ask Kvapil) at Bristol, yeah.
-
Kenseth gets W #5 over Kayne .... Sliced bread is in the top 10 .... Kurt Busch slipped out ,
Boyer is locked in with solid finishes.... JJ is locked but looking at two weeks of poor finishes.
I didn't watch the thing, I was a bit tired and hit the rack early, I'm not much Wowed on short ovals anyway.
Bad Brad is in dire straits , if there is a favoritism conspiracy, NASCAR will help Gordon before the reigning champ.
I think he embarrassed them last year....
If Kurt gets in, its pure intestinal fortitude , he'll need to win or finish 2 in both of the last two...
and maybe even need some pratfall to some others ...namely Jr.
-
Congrats to Matt K on his win at Bristol.
-
Thought Kahne shown a lot of class in the post race. That's the third time this year Kenseth's been on worn tires 'n held 'im off. Hell of a race.
-
Bet this shopped thing broke Patrick's heart.............................

Danica is about to have a wardrobe malfunction!
-
Busch to SHR...so ends the Bubble Furnature Row has been floating on ... to bad
But the right move for Busch ..... Now I wonder if Newman gets the 42 or the 97 ?
-
Sure showed Newman how low his stock has sunk. If y'all ain't seen it:
Kurt Busch will be sponsored by Haas Automation if he signs with Stewart-Haas Racing for the 2014 season. Gene Haas, former convicted (fancy stealin’ ‘n related charges) felon ‘n federal prisoner who aligns perfectly with Hendrick, also a thief, co-owner of SHR with Tony Stewart, told ESPN.com on Saturday he wants the 2004 Sprint Cup champion in one of his cars because he wants to take his non-racing company's name to Victory Lane. "I'd be happy to have a driver like that on our team. You'd win a lot of races. I'd really be happy for my company Haas to be in the winner's circle. I've never been there. I want to be there with that name. I know Kurt has had a lot of sponsorship issues, but to me, I just want to win. I'm not too much worried about that stuff."
Sorry there, Ryan. You weren’t good ‘nuff ta sponsor. Nothin’ personal. Just bidness. Oh, wait, a werd of advice ta ya, n'er trust a thief.
-
you're 100% correct... Gene Hass was convicted of Tax Evasion & Witness tampering , and Rick Hendrick of Mail Fraud & Bribery.
Bill Clinton pardoned Hendrick.
Hass paid off the IRS and got 1 year house arrest for his efforts.
There is no question SHR is a sub of Hendrick Motorsports....
That is why I like the underdogs....
-
We finally know the rest of the story now. I can see clearly now! Newman has definitely been stabbed in the back. he deserves better than that.
-
Hell, he knew ‘fore we did. Patrick is a cash cow. They grab her, send his entire crew, includin’ the crew chief, to her effort ‘n hire ‘im new folks. That late in the game all they had ta hire from was cast offs ‘n other folks’ B ‘n C teamers.
-
That's about size of it.
-
He was boned , just bidness ? ::) bull hockey ...but yeah I think he had to know when the hired Harvick last year.
What is he 35 or so, He's still in his prime..... hope he lands a solid ride...
-
Newman deserves consideration in being selected as a driver for the best team out there.
-
My opinion ‘n it’s werth what’s paid for it – nothin’………………
Newman ain’t in a good position. He ain’t got much of a fan base. He ain’t all that talented. Most of what he’s won o’er the years he won like he did recently in Indiana – right place at the right time when someone else fouled up. The majority of the others were on mileage ‘n while I’ll always argue that’s a perfectly legit way to win a race, the crew deserves more credit than the driver in those cases.
There’s nothin’ there a cubic dollar sponsor’s lookin’ for. They want personality ‘n domination.
-
Well yea...he's quiet and unassuming,
I think he goes to FR ...there is just bad timing for him to go to RCR unless it's a one year deal...
I think Childress will go with youth, and Larson is talent , green but talent non the same...then there are the grand kids.
Maybe MWR will add a 4th. car ...but I don't see it happening in 2014....
JPM is out of Stock cars , he will be in Sports cars & Indy JMHO
-
Montoya has had most of his success in open wheel, and not stock cars.Newman would be a good fit for FR.

Arcey, RGIII is like having a Ferrari in your garage, and not driving it. He is ready to play.

He’s ready then he’s ready. Play ‘im.
My want for the year is a winnin’ season, the second round of the play offs with as many healthy players as possible.

Sorenson was 19 ‘n had a couple second tier wins in ‘05. 20 when Ganassi stuck ‘im inna cup car. Stayed in it for the ’06, ’07 ‘n ’08 seasons without a win. When he was terminated, Sabates said ‘e ‘n Ganassi had determined Sorenson wasn’t gonna get no better.
’06 Ganassi had two full season drivers. No wins, one top five. The top five was Sorenson’s.
’07 Three drivers. One sat out the road courses. Montoya won a road thing. He ‘n Sorenson were two positions apart in the final standings, in the twenties.
’08 Two drivers. No wins. Again, just behind Montoya in points. Both slipped deeper in the twenties.
Kinda thinkin’ ole Chip shoulda looked it ‘is equipment rather‘n the kid. When he was terminated, Sabates said ‘e ‘n Ganassi had determined Sorenson wasn’t gonna get no better. The boy’s had junk ta drive ever since. Kinda got burnt.
Rumor has it they’re movin’ Larson up to the 42. He’s 21 ‘n has potential. He’s won a truck race. An added feature for NASCAR, he’s in their diversity program. Patrick ‘n Almirola ain’t hittin’ on nothin’ in cup ‘cept souvenir ‘n ticket sales for ‘er.
Wunner if after three full seasons ‘n he’s runnin’ right with McMurray in standin’s if Sabates’ll tell the werld he’s as good as he’s gonna get ‘n fire ‘im too.
Just fer giggles, McMurray’s in his fouth full season with ‘em the second time 'round. Three wins the first year none since. Stellar end-of-year results of 14th, 27th, 21st ‘n 16th.
That’s racin’......................................
Droppin’ out the sports writer mode ‘n goin’ back ta KP.
-
it's Kyle Larson to the 42, I'd bet that was the plan when they dumped JPM from the beginning ...
So that pretty much seals the deal... Newman to Furniture Row or retire to be a sub or ?
-
I just hope that Newman gets good ride, he has a degree in engineering and I think he would be a lot of help in R and D.
-
Well Tony could retire and just be the Boss , and Newman gets the 14 :D YEAH Right !
-
FR is self-sponsored. Don’t think they’re wantin’ someone with a part time, low buck sponsor. Thinkin’ they’re lookin’ for someone younger with more potential than Newman.
Ain’t seen nothin’ on Scott, sponsor or driver, in cup. His NNS cars ain’t the best but they’re solid ‘n capable of pullin’ one off now ‘n again if things go right. Newman’s said he wants someone who wants him for him ‘n not another motive. Maybe a good deal for both.
-
Could be.... Newman's maybe a better engineer than driver and would be an asset to Turner Scott Motorsports/ Phoenix Racing
Though I think Scott tapped Justin Allgaier to step up to the Cup ride
Maybe they'd run Newman in the 2nd test mule... :-\
-
Admittedly, I ain’t no supporter of the boy. Honestly, ain’t bein’ nasty. But bein’ as objective as I can be………………………… It looks like Johnson married Michael Jackson……

Michael Jackson always wanted to be white instead of black. He did everything possible to lighten his skin tone. I would not worry about Johnson's old lady unless she starts wearing lame socks and wearing one silver lame glove.
-
It looks like TRD engine woes has reared it's ugly he'd again. Vickers lost an engine yesterday and Hamlin lost one today. The Fords are fast, and Atlanta was a Ford track when Awesome Bill was King there in the 80s.
-
this is amazing....what really amazes is what were you thinking about when you noticed the resemblence
Apart from the face there ain’t much ta look at. It’s kinda obvious. Sunken cheeks, nose job 'n a big mouth.
Only in American could a cute black boy like Michael grow up to be an ugly old white woman…..
Hadn’t read Scott was bringin’ the guy with the name I can’t spell up. Be a good move.
-
KB has lost the handling on his car, he has gone from first to fourth.
-
Harvick managed to keep KB at bay, and held on to win the Nationwide race at Atlanta last night. I think that Hornish still has the points lead over Dillion.
-
The late ServiceMaster Clean caution made it a race. Whoever nails the restart wins it, advantage Harvick.
The dreaded aero again. I’m not an engineer but I’ll keep bangin’ my own drum – they can hang anything they wanna hang on the bodies ‘n it won’t help. Nothing thru three generations of cars has changed a thing. Take all that crap off, choke ‘em down a hundred and fifty horsepower. Drastically cut the lift ‘n duration of the cams ‘n valve size, they’ll slow up inna hurry. Easy ‘nuff for even a NASCAR inspector to police. We’d see some racin’ then. As well, we’d see who can ‘n who can’t drive a loose car.
-
Hamlin admitted that their egine specs were different from KB and Kenseth. TRD seems to be shooting themselves in the foot lately.
-
Them all-they-do-is-turn-left, redneck rookies had a hell of a finish on the road thing. Hate a win like that but that’s racin’.
Thinkin’ Elliott’s daddy won his first one beatin’ up on the ringers.
Time to get back to the real race tracks.
-
Arcey, Isn't Canada a foreign country? What happens in Canada, stays in Canada.
-
Hehehehehehehehehehe............ yeah.......................
-
KB won at Atlanta tonight. WW finished 6th and 5-time finished way out of the lead. This should tighten up the points race with Jj's poor finish at Atlanta. Bowyer lost an engine tonight.
-
Makes 9 for JGR, pretty much with just two cars. Countin' the Haas thing, the thief has eight with seven cars if ya seriously count Patrick.
Durin’ the dry spells I was tryin’ ta catch up a l’il on the goin’s on.
Seein’ ole Chip, with Felix, done proudly resigned McMurray.
Let’s see………………….. Team mates……………………
McMurray
‘10 3 (pretty big) wins, 9 top fives ‘n 12 top tens. Final standing in points 14th
‘11 No wins, 2 top fives ‘n 4 top tens. Final standings in points 27th.
.
’12 No wins or top fives. 3 top tens. Final 20th
’13 1 top five ‘n 5 top tens. Currently 16th in points.
Montoya
’10 1 win, 6 top fives ‘n 14 top tens. Final standing 17th.
’11 No wins, 2 top fives ‘n 8 top tens. Final standing 21st.
’12 2 top tens. Final standing 22nd
’13 4 top fives ‘n 7 top tens. Current standing 19st.
No significant difference between ‘em. Wonderin’ if sumthin’s goin’ on behind the scenes we ain’t privy to.
On the Hamlin thing. Hearing since he’s toast they’re testin’ stuff on the 11. Don’t know if it’s fact er someone makin’ an educated guess. Makes sense tho. The 18 ‘n 20 both secured a spot yesterevenin’.
On the Canadian post race unpleasantness. Papis got bitch-slapped by the other guy’s girlfriend after the race. Claims his jaw is dislocated. Ya could see he was pissed but he didn't try'n hit back. I'd ah knocked the taste out her mouth. Vid’s on Fox Sports.

It sounds like she was just stand in' by her man like Tammy Wynette.

I watched the Drag racing from Indy yesterday, a lot of the heavy hitters got taken out early. It was nice to see a Chevy win in Pro Stock, instead of one of those damn Dodges.
-
Saw a hint , about Newman to RCR in a forth car....considering Childress's 3 driver line up are barely beyond puberty, might not be a bad idea.
-
Didn’t know Childress was dumpin’ Burton. Thought he’d be good for the grand chillren.
-
Honestly did not see that coming, Burton stepped down :-\... By his own words "planned to in 2015" anyway...
Pretty much sews up the seat for Newman I'd think :-\
RCR had planned a 4th car but could not muster the funds, so with Burton going to the broadcast booth.... maybe they'll dump
Ol " Boogety Boogety Boogety" .

I hate to see Jeff quit driving, Him and brother Ward cut their in the old Busch series in South Boston, Virginia. Good luck to Jeff in his new job, wherever that is.

A time for ever'thin' I reckon.
Anyone know, or care, how Patrick did when she competed on Chopped? There ain't no punch line, she was one of four cookin' against one 'nother.
-
perhaps wrecked the stove and finish 4th. ;D and took out 3rd with her....
-
Did she pose on top the prep table in a bikini?
-
No one fawned over her. She wasn’t treated as if she was anything special, just one of the contestants. Sports figgers with the winnin’s goin’ ta charity.
She went against Tiki Barber, late of the New York Giants, Natalie Coughlin, Olympic swimmer ‘n former Carl Edwards girlfriend, ‘n some sorta UFC guy I ain’t never heard of.
Barber was chopped first. The ugly dude second. The girls were head ‘n shoulders over ‘em in talent. I thought it was close. Also thought the judgin’ was straight up. Patrick edged the swimmer out ‘n won fair ‘n square.
Mebbe that's why Stenhouse's datin' 'er. She can cook.
-
Maybe Stenhouse has some Mommy issues. Danica is sorta cute and maybe she likes a boy toy. Love is Bliss!

Joe Garone is with FURNITURE Row Racin’. The 78 car Kurt Busch is drivin’ right now. FRONT Row Motorsports is Bob Jenkins’ operation. No relation, Front Row RACING doesn’t exist.
Someone we know ‘n love ain’t been right since he got married ‘n moved outta his Momma’s basement. Wife musta been sittin’ on ‘is lap – again.
That said.
Montoya visits Furniture Row Racing: #78-Front Row Racing general manager Joe Garone confirmed to FOX Sports that Juan Pablo Montoya visited the Denver-based shop on Tuesday and remains on the team's shortlist to replace Kurt Busch in 2014. Garone also told FOX Sports that there has not been discussion between Furniture Row Racing and Jeff Burton, who will part ways with Richard Childress Racing at the end of the year (FoxSports)(9-5-2013)
-
More rumors popping up and the Chase hasn't even started yet. I don't know if Furniture Row's budget can stand a bunch of wrecked cars, given JPM's history of wrecks. Burton would be a good fit for FR, and Newman would do okay there s well.
-
What did I miss at Richmond last night?
-
Edwards won after NASCAR let ‘im get away with a no-no on a restart. The same thing they nailed Johnson for at Dover.
NASCAR throws a phantom debris caution as soon as Gordon passed Vickers for the first car a lap down position, givin’ Gordon a lost lap back.
Buncha folks whinin’ ‘bout Bowyer spinnin’ his on purpose to help Truex. NASCAR’s gonna investigate that ‘n other stuff by MWR. Guess they don’t want no one helpin’ someone finish better ‘less they do it.
Newman, Mr. Rocketman, degreed engineer from Purdue hisownself, throwin’ his crew under the bus ‘cuz he missed eligibility to run for the championship. Said they weren’t a ‘championship contending’ crew. As if he’s a ‘championship contending’ driver. Lifetime full season final standing average of 11th, since he went to work for HAAS, 12th. He’s never finished in the top five even with his eight win season with Penske. He's a never-was.
Patrick turned in a great top thirty finish. The first car four laps down. She's learning.
-
I betting Hendricks is chafing that Poster Boy missed the chase .... he has 3 cars in , and is pushing Helton's buttons
because he ain't got 5 in ...WW & Rocketman.
Everyone is on MWR, Pattie & Boyers case, I see it as , "how's it taste there RICK !" Pattie just out smarted you !
what goes around, comes around.
and yeah ! I see a double standard on the Edwards restart.
Glad Sliced Bread & Busch got in....
-
Congrats to JJ for finishing 40th at Richmond and to WW for not making the Chase. Lots of "rat" cheese for them both. Congrats to cousin Carl on his win. Maybe Bowyer was just doing some defensive driving?
-
Thought it was kinda funny. They talked ta the guy in the 88. He told e’er’one ‘bout Bowyer spinnin’ it. Hell, he should know. Before he started drivin’ for the thief ‘n the 88 was the 25, he spun ta bring a caution out he needed at Bristol. Difference is he was dumb ‘nuff ta talk ‘bout it over the radio ‘n NASCAR nailed ‘im.
Rusty Wallace ‘n Ray Evernham talkin’ ‘bout integrity. That was kinda funny too.
-
The pots calling the kettle black!
-
No foul, just Business ;D
-
Money does grease the wheels!
-
Newman to RCR as predicted... I hope he makes hay in 31 ... he's an average driver, as Arcey points out, maybe this will be his shot in the arm....
Not really a fan....but I gotta like the average Joe/ underdog to stick it to the HAVE ALL"s.
I'd like to see Busch the elder do well...just cause :-\ I'd be fine if Scrub took the Championship or Logano or even Karl
-
I hope that Newman will be an asset to RCR, and a change of scenery is always good.
-
7-0 Skins on an interception! Kick some Eagle Butt!
-
I hope that Newman will be an asset to RCR, and a change of scenery is always good.
He'll be the experienced one , anyway, and now he's in chase.... MWR got busted for Team orders , sadly Vickers has fallen in with shady players... But Hell MWR only busted for what Hendrick's has done....
If there ever was case to , dump the chase clearly this was it... All it ever was, to add "A climax" to make drama as the NFL was
ramping it's season up....
-
HMS has always been the poster boys of NASCAR and able to get by with stuff. They would probably not have been penalized had they done what Boywer did. Hendricks is a crook, unfortunately a rich crook.
-
While not as up front about the thing as the dumb a$$ at Bristol, MWR personnel ran their mouths too much over the radio. They know the control room monitors that stuff. So do the broadcast folks, half the people in the stands ‘n on the i-net. Should have had their stuff tagether better, communications coded 'n memorized.
Redskins, phooey. Packers next ‘n they’re POed o’er the SF game. Not too encouragin’.
-
Robert was rusty and tried to carry the team on his back. A tough loss to the Eagles, who are better than last year. One good game does not a season make.
-
I’m not gonna lay it on Griffin until he runs the defense as well as the offense. He ain’t the only player on the field.
-
Don't even want to think about the egg the Brownies laid Sunday. O line and receivers were most of the problem. QB was runnin' for his life most of the game, hard to be accurate that way. The defense looked tolerable, though :P ::)
-
Weeden deserves to play for a better team than the Browns. I hate to see an Oklahoma State in a bad situation. I am glad that UT grad, Colt McCoy got traded to SF.
-
Well, It looks like WW is trying to blame everyone but the Porta-Potty man for not making the Chase. He needs more "rat" cheese to go with his whine.
-
Not a word about the two well timed phantom debris cautions that gave him laps back to put him in position to begin with. He’s talkin’ to the fanboy, ‘front wing’ crowd hopin’ they’ll raise enough grammatically ‘n spell challenged hell to get NASCAR to lookin’ at ticket sales. Freakin’ lyin’ ass politician playin’ the game.
Gordon’s business partner would enter a car late in the year to ensure Gordon with at least one position. Leaders have let a ‘team mate’ pass to lead a lap ‘n gain points then pass ‘em back next lap. Folks have been ‘stallin’’ on the track to bring out cautions forever. Hell, James Smith entered five trucks in the last race of the year ‘n one of ‘em caused a wreck that took out the points leader ‘n denied ‘im, Brendon Gaughan, the championship. What did Elloitt wreckin’ Dillon do to the truck standings? The poo-poo’s been goin’ on so long it’s difficult to remember specific incidents, it’s SOP.
So Gordon got screwed over, wow. Karma’s a b*tch. Stewart screams like a stuck pig when a NASCAR tosses caution 'n fouls him up – silence when one leads to a win. Newman found Haas’ hirin’ ‘n sponsorin’ Busch humorous but he was hurt by MWR’s teamwork. It’s all dry prairie coal in it’s original state.
My respect continues to go to those who can win despite NASCAR. That’s what makes it fun. I hope Bowyer or Busch takes the cup without a win 'n watch France, Helton, et al, whine a l'il.
-
So do I, the whole mess SSSSSSSSSSSSSTINKS......
Love to see elder Busch stomp to the podium @ Homestead with the Champion's cap !
Now they are trying to bump Lagano , so W has been W can get in.
-
Love to see elder Busch stomp to the podium @ Homestead with the Champion's cap !
HEAR! HEAR!
Still thinkin’ it’s NASCAR’s game hence if they interfere with the course of the race it’s acceptable – denied - but everyone knows they do it. Someone else does somethin’ impactin’ their chosen, it’s actions detrimental to the game.
I don’t think they’ve got the nads ta screw with Penske. That is, of course, unless Knaus rats ‘em out for comin’ up with rear ends he didn’t think of first.
-
Knaus is the biggest cheater of all, I bet he is chapped that JJ is not #1 seed in the Chase. So Sorry Please!
-
Every one of them have manlipulated the rules ...some stand out's are Smokey Yunick, and Penski and the Trans Am Camaros.
Junior Johnson and the famous Grenade motor , Darrell Waltrip blew-up just as he took the checkered flag toto win in the first all-star race, rendering the motor in pieces at inspection.
Or when Richard Petty used an oversized engine and illegal tires to win the Miller 500 at Charlotte Motor Speedway.
There is cheating..and then there is the unfair advantage.
These guys are in the Hall Of Fame !
The Chase allows for the manlipulations, it has the flaws and MWR used them to their advantage...and got cought..
I'm not sure there was a RULE that say's they were cheating. They figured a way to take advantage of a position .
-
Always chuckle at Yunick's half mile of coiled up half inch fuel line. Held more'n the tank did 'n it weren't against the rules. That leads me to..............
Looks like what they’re hintin’ at now is addin’ a thirteenth car, Gordon. Still don’t think they’re got the nads ta toss Logano. Front Row might suffer later but for now I think they’ll be under the Penske umbrella.
Just makes me wonder why NASCAR thinks the thief ‘n his court is so freakin’ important to their cause. All this is over Gordon ‘n Newman, one directly ‘n the other indirectly, drive for ‘im ‘n didn’t get in. What was done to keep ‘im out by MWR ‘n Penske has been done before. They know it ‘n they know the fans know it.
What looks like is bein’ lost in the shuffle is the Bowyer spin ain’t what NASCAR landed on MWR for. It was the radio chatter leadin’ to Vickers takin’ team orders. Same as Gilliland ‘n Front Row.
Bein’ old gives one the advantage of memories that ain’t quite faded. Waltrip had won two straight championships but ‘e wasn’t real popular. Allison, none but he had a followin’ ‘n more importantly he had the forerunner of Knaus in Gary Nelson.
With Waltrip pickin’ up where he left off the season before it was lookin’ like three straight was a possibility. ‘Bout half season, Allison started gettin’ extraordinary fuel mileage. Petty said it best, that kinda mileage comes from more gas than everyone else has. Yet, NASCAR couldn’t find it. Allison went on to win the championship.
I’ve always thought, 'n I ain't alone, NASCAR went thru the motions of lookin’ and/or ignored what they found. That gave them what they wanted. Waltrip didn’t win three straight in a cake-walk. Shortly thereafter they hired Nelson. Now, unless Nelson writes a tell-all book, we’ll never know how or where the few extra gallons were hidden. NASCAR manipulation 'robbin',' in the thief's words, Waltrip of three straight.

Let’s see if I’ve got this straight. Accordin’ to France MWR gets crucified but there’s no proof what FR ‘n Penske did changed anything but he’s gonna put ‘em on probation anyway………………………………
Ok. Got it.
If ya didn’t see it, the man had more ‘ers, ahs, ummmms, ahhs ‘n yannos’ than O’Bama when he gets off a teleprompter. Had the feelin’ Helton wanted ta stifle ‘im.
-
Gordon has a goose egg on the season no W's, what he have last year one ? :-\
Hendrick's is pushing buttons, not enough he has three cars in, now four with the SHR farm team....you say they're to give Gordon a slot as #13 ...why not #15 and lets drivers with WINs in too ::) (up-date its set GORDON IS IN ::) papa Hendricks fix ! )
I won't spend a dime on NASCAR , I'll watch on TV....won't buy a ticket, wouldn't go if I was given one even if the trip was paid for. ....no promo crap either.
Daytona is less than an Hour away, I've been to many 24 Hours and The SCCA Runoffs , even the Paul Whitman Trophy races...
Never cared to see the 500 or the Firecracker 400 , less it was on TV...and even then I flip around some.
-
It appears that Tricky Rick and NASCAR are in bed together, so WW gets in the Chase. NASCAR sold out!
-
Don’t own a thing I can think of that NASCAR got a dime out of. Ain’t for a long time. Now that I’ve shown the fat lady Aquafina is a Pepsi product nothin’ they sell has been in the house for I don’t know when. We both qualify but neither of us is a member of AARP.
My newest shootin' t-shirt reads, 'No Comment.'
I’ll keep up with it via computer but I won’t be flippin’ channels durin’ football games with the exception of Martinsville. This championship is tainted before it starts. Hopefully it’ll reflect in the TV ratings and damage the network’s prices for advertizing. That’ll get their attention and they'll get NASCAR's.
France #III has done well since he's had it. Made it a multimillion dollar operation. It was worth over a billion when he took over.
I’ll pay attention again after the Super Bowl for Daytona.
-
I have a large collection of NASCAR die cast, none of which are 24 or 48. After this latest fiasco, I will not be buying anymore.
-
Of the
7 6 cars Hendricks runs ( I don't count the girl ) now has 5 in the chase... that's 5 in 13 tell me they can't manipulate the outcome.
WW just got the Lucky Dog into the chase.... just whine & pass the $$$$ and NASCAR changed the rules....
-
Rumor has it NASCAR is lookin’ at the truck race of yesterevein’. They’re concerned with the issue of fairness. Since Gordon wasn’t entered he didn’t have a chance to win the race. Therefore, in the interest of fairness, the race will be taken from Busch and awarded to Gordon.
-
He is the Crown Prince of NASCAR.... he spans the old era to the new....
Hendricks was involved to try to get him one more chance at the Brass Ring.
Jimmy already has eclipsed him and frankly 5 Championships in a row is highly suspect in this day.
-
Makes one wonder how legit the five are for Johnson. This France took over in ’03. Johnson reeled off an unprecedented five straight under his watch. How much did NASCAR overlook in tech during that run none of the other competitors caught? How many times did NASCAR intimidate others into silence? Remember, it was someone from RCR that ratted out the rear window distorting mechanism Knaus had at Daytona and the car passed tech. Word was it was Harvick.
And, there I was sayin’ NASCAR lettin’ stuff get by for certain people didn’t happen. Maybe I was wrong.
-
Yes, It did happen. Knaus is the best cheater that money can buy.
-
The second comin’ of Gary Nelson. Makes ya wonder how much NASCAR let him get away with ta keep Waltrip from winnin’ three straight championships. Remember Allison’s extraordinary fuel mileage? But that was before Brian, France #3.
-
I recall they discovered the roll Cage was used for gas storage back in the 70's.
-
Little tricks have always been around, but it seems that NASCAR has chosen selective enforcement on the violators.
-
The way things are going watchin' the race may be an option. This friggin' game ain't goin' too good for the home team.
-
I read where Kyle B won both the Truck race and the Nationwide race. Can he make it another 3-Pete?
-
Kyle & Kurt are the real deal talent , even if they are Temperamental . I recall Dale Sr. wasn't all that soft spoken...
Remember when the best of NASCAR were wanted by the revenuers ?
One of biggest memories was the National Network fight between Cale Yarborough and Donnie Allison, probably the single most important race in stock car history.
How in the hell does a has been , milk sap, do good-er , whine his way into arguably his last chance chase appearance....
MONEY ! and the hell with credibility, and the 12 earned positions.
WW is nice guy, I've met him , JJ & Kanus several times at staging Lowe's Industrials.
But his season , was lack luster, he is at best a 13th. place car/team and there for should be in 13th just OUT of the chase...
not given a buy in.
It would be great to see Kyle three-peat, become first seed & Big brother finish second, and in NASCAR's face .
-
Ahhhhhh…….
Undisputed, sole possession of the basement. The familiar feelin’ of fall to a Redskin fan.
HTTR!
-
Had it all by itself for a few hours anyway. Giants had ta jump in ‘n grab a hunk.
No problem. We’ll get it back. There’s fourteen games left ta play.
HTTR!
-
Right there with ya, Arcey. Brownies managed to smell up Baltimore's stadium, too. And then got Weeden hurt to boot. O line problems again :-\ :-X
-
I feel yer pain with Weeden out 'n Campbell in. I can speak from experience on that.
-
Arcey, The NFC East is 0-4 for the weekend. Everybody lost. The Skins OL needs some help.
-
It has now been officially confirmed that JPM will return to Indy-Car series in 2014.
-
He should do well ... I kinda guessed he'd go there....
There was no way he'd go to Furnature Row ...
I would like to FR get a Hot shoe, and be competive
-
Ahhhhhh….. The continuing drama that is the day to day flow of NASCAR ‘news.’ One wonders what the real story is with Montoya.
Ganassi, with Sabates, decided not renew his contract. They renewed McMurray’s. There has been no significant difference in their performance. The stats are there for anyone to review. Might be McMurray’s more of a go-along to get-along sort of guy.
They’re bringing up Larson. A driver from NASCAR’s diversity program with an actual hint of potential. Perhaps a bit of money involved and/or favors from NASCAR in the deal? Chase Austin was a bust. Darrell Wallace isn’t ready. Michael Rodriguez was denied the chance – looked too white – to get in. Besides, the hispanic thing is already covered with Almirola. Politics?
Could it simply be the novelty of the open wheel dude from South American making a home with the good ole boys has worn off? Marketing? Again, money?
-
Arcey, There's a rumor going that the Brownies might start Hoyer if Weeden can't go Sunday... ::)
-
Thumb’s mess up that bad, huh? Sorry ta hear.
I thought a lot of Campbell, Buck. Didn’t want him, glad to see him go but I watched that poor fool take the field every week end knowin’ he was gonna get the snot beat out of ‘im. He knew it too. I’ve seen post-game pressers ‘n he’d have a black eye or a bloody lip. He never backed down or gave up ‘n I respect that.
The OL wasn’t as good then as it is now. That was a problem. His problem is he just can’t think fast enough to play the game at the speed the pros play football. He consistently held the ball too long ‘n it really doesn’t matter who a team has on the line they can only block a defense for so long.
Y’all need ta try someone else I do believe. My best to the Browns.
-
The Chiefs will be returning to Philly. I think Andy got a raw deal and I hope the Chiefs win.
-
Hoyer's starting today, running back by committee. Anybody wanna predict how that games gonna go?Only good thing is Gordon is getting to play now. Might open up some of the passing game.........maybe ::) :P
-
congrats to Andy Reid and the Chiefs on their victory over the dreded Philly Eagles. I watched a little of the Nationwide race last night, fell asleep. I read that Blaney's kid won in Penske's # 22, for his first Nationwide victory.
-
Interesting tidbit .... Rumor has it NAPA is going to Gibbs to field a 4 car with Truex in the seat.
MWR has screwed the pooch, 5 Hour Energy may also jump ship.... :-\
-
It does not sound good for Truex to be back with MWR next year. Losing NAPA , and possibly 5-Hour will cripple MWR. Congrats to Kenseth on his second win in the Chase. He was humbled by the win. He needs to keep on keep in' on. More "rat" cheese for JJ and WW.
-
MWR’s in for a rough time with just one bailin’ on ‘em, two’s could drop ‘em back to also-rans or gone altogether. Too bad. Damned bad deal for Vickers. They were comin’ inta their own. All this because of doin’ somethin’s been done forever. NASCAR nails ‘em to the barn door ‘n puts Penske ‘n FR on probation for doin’ the same thing.
Didn’t watch any of it ‘til the game was o’er. Hope JGR can keep it together for the next eight.
Speakin’ of games, great one for the Browns, Buck.
-
I used to follow Football , back in the glory years of the Dolphins , never never cared much for the Bucks & Jags.
I've never attended a Pro game, closest I ever got was when we filmed "Black Sunday" at Super bowl 5
and then had extras in Steelers & Cowboy Uniforms.
I guess interest wained, I have been to a couple of U of M VS Florida St. games sorta liked Collage ball and still like to see some good rivalrys.
As for Racing, I was very much into the old IMSA Camel GT Road Racing & SCCA Can Am , TransAm & Club Racing..
Not much in the Formula's except F1...I still follow Le Mans, Daytona 24 hours & Indy
NASCAR, Drags were of passing interest, back then...
I suppost NASCAR was a sorta defacto replacement for the IMSA & SCCA Pro Races ... I did filp back in forth on Yesterday race
glad Kensith won...still think Gordon & Hendricks whinning and NASCAR skullduggery put Wonder Boy in the show as # 13 in the chase...
I hope Gibbs puts it to the 24, 48, 5 & 88 and Kenseth & Busch finish 1-2 and Busch the elder is # 3 in the chase.
If Hendricks wins , I'll tune out
-
NASCAR from birth with a lotta drag racin’ tossed in. Pro football, boxin’ ‘n baseball. Never cared for the pretense of amateur supportin' sports.
Dropped boxin’ when media darlin’ fighters won decisions if they could crawl out the ring when it went to the judges. Hagler/Leonard did it in. Did watch Camacho retire Leonard, enjoyed the heck out of it. It didn’t go to the judges.
Doped players killed baseball. The sad part of that is I worked with the Met's David Wright's father. I've never seen him play.
Goodell ‘n liability lawyers are killin’ the NFL. It’s a violent game. People run the risk of gettin’ hurt – permanently. That’s why the fame ‘n fortune is there.
Lost most interest in drag racin’ when they drifted away from the original Pro Stock concept though I still watch it if I trip over it. That’s unlikely with SpeedTV gone. Top Fuel is ‘n will always be the ultimate wheel driven acceleration machines. Never did care much for the hype 'n emphasis on funny cars.
NASCAR is still about the competition as long as it doesn’t threaten the marketing. The favoritism as a result of that has never been more visible. Tired of the rule book bein’ wrote in pencil ‘n ‘actions detrimental to the sport’ judgments. Tired of inconsistent 'n unequal penalties. Tired of phantom debris cautions. Tired of talkin’ heads that can’t call a race straight up for fear of losin’ their hard cards. Tired of owners, crew 'n drivers gettin’ fined for speakin’ their minds in public and/or places like Twit-Book. Real tired.
-
The Brownies surprised the crap outta just about everybody yesterday, myself included. I think Hoyer's earned himself another couple starts.Being Brady's understudy may have benefitted him greatly ::) :o
-
Since when is accurately describin’ the situation ‘peculiar?’
Then 5-Hour President Scott Henderson took a peculiar stance Sunday at New Hampshire, where he seemed to question NASCAR chairman Brian France's decision not to punish Penske Racing the same way it did MWR for trying to manipulate the Richmond race to get Joey Logano into the Chase, and perhaps for expanding the Chase field to 13 drivers to accommodate Jeff Gordon.
"There's a lot of talk about integrity," Henderson said. "When the guy who's in charge can say, 'I can do whatever I want and I'm going to do it and I just did,' I wonder about integrity. I want to make sure we can win in this sport, OK?"
-
I LIKE what he said about France`s statement. He said something that other folks might have been afraid to say about France.
-
Hoyer gets the start vs. the Bengals Sunday. We'll see how he does this week ::)
-
I am hoping that the Bengals can take of him and the Browns. I am a big Andy Dalton fan, he played College ball at TCU and I got to see him play a lot. He has done well with the Bengals.
-
We need ta mark a calendar er sumthin’. Browns ‘n the ‘Skins both won on the same day.
-
Arcey, I was glad to hear the Skins won and sad that the Bengals lost. We had the Cowboys-Chargers game and I did not watch it. Payton really lit up the Eagles on Sunday for a record setting 52 points.
-
Weeden may be starting to sweat some, especially if Hoyer keeps winning.The Brownie's defense is really coming on ::)
-
Hoyer will stay healthy as long as the OL stays healthy.
-
Well, that didn't last long. Hoyer's hurt, knee. Weeden got the team settled down and the D did it's job. Browns 37-Bills 24.
-
We need ta mark a calendar er sumthin’. Browns ‘n the ‘Skins both won on the same day.
sort of scarey
Weeden earned some redemtion
-
Hoyer's out for the year, torn ACL, surgery :-\
-
I heard that the Browns may pick up the former Tampa Bay QB that was just released.
-
Turned the show on yestitty evenin’. Put some stuff up from the kids’ visit. Crashed. Pull the results up this mornin’. A phantom debris caution 26 laps from the finish. Imagine that.
Saw the TV ratin’s from the thing last week. 1.1. Last year it was a 1.4. That’s where the money is. Hope it keeps up 'til its closest TV competition is high school lacrosse. Gonna be the only thing that brings some sense back into it.
-
Brad K was determined to win that race last night. I am that Kenseth finished ahead of five time and WW.
-
Gordon……………
The Fox thing put up a ‘who’s gonna win’ thing between he ‘n Harvick. Hadda picture of Gordon lookin’ all focused ‘n determined.
Damn. Go back the last 200 races ‘n he’s won 6. He hasn’t won at Charlotte since ’07. The way I was raised, that ain’t indicative of the greatest of odds.
But, they’re tryin’ to get the fan boys spendin’ money so I guess it stands to reason they’d stir ‘em up. The intellectually challenged were doin’ the ‘go 24’ thing. Run out ‘n buy ‘em a new 24 hat with the number sewn in off center.
From the few articles I scanned it looked like another track position versus tires thing brought on by a bogus caution ‘n Knaus ‘n Johnson fouled it up.
-
NASCAR would not call out JJ or Knaus for that, just everybody else. It is like NASCAR is trying to manipulate the outcome of the championship in either JJ or WW's favor.
-
Arcey, I am ready for the game to start. A bunch of the sportscaster around here are picking the Skins to win.
-
Sports dude's prolly still pissed it Romo.
Las Vegas is givin' Dallas 'n anywhere from five to seven points.
-
I really feel sorry for Robert. The knee brace hinders his mobility.
-
There's a positive to it. Held 'em to 31 points. Denver couldn't do that.
-
It looks like Ware will be out for a month and Murray won't play against Philly this weekend. Philly should win this one.
-
I just read where MWR is cutting back to two teams in 2014, Truex May be the odd man out. Vickers is out with medical problems for the rest of the season, no replacement named as yet.
-
Vickers is having the same blood clot problem as before.
-
Redskins lost two for the year.
Lookin’ like Kauffman’s shut Waltrip up durin’ this restructurin’. Probably not a bad thing. With Vickers in limbo ‘n the Truex /Denver rumors, things er kinda shaky in Cornelius. The 15 is set for ’14 ‘n that’s it.
-
It's like MWR can't stand prosperity, they keep shooting themselves in the foot.
-
“Our goal was to hand the car off to the teams better than the one that they ended the 2012 season with. We feel like we achieved that goal; we feel like the cars performed well, the drivers like the way the car drives. From that standpoint, it was a successful year. & We will always continue to evaluate our competition and this is one of those programs that's coming together." said Robin Pemberton, NASCAR vice president of competition.
How do we know, Pemberton? Early on the drivers made comments NASCAR didn’t like. Such as:
"I don't want to be the pessimist, but it did not race as good as our Generation 5 cars [a.k.a. "Car of Tomorrow"].This is more like what the Generation 5 was at the beginning. The teams hadn't figured out how to get the aero balance right. Right now, you just run single-file and you cannot get around the guy in front of you. You would have placed me in 20th-place with 30 (laps) to go, I would have stayed there — I wouldn't have moved up. It's just one of those things where track position is everything." – Denny Hamlin. Fined $25,000.00.
The same message in softer words has been heard from many others all season in pre and post race interviews. Nothing has changed.
NASCAR wouldn’t lie though. Each debris caution is legit, right? But what would one expect from an organization accepting thirteen year olds for their “fan council.”
-
As bad as I hate to, I will be cheering for Dallas this weekend, only because they are playing Philly.
-
NASCAR..had no such rules ..such as Team Orders ...
They threw the MWR Foul flag after the fact... Sure MWR played the system and they maneuvered Truex into the chase.
All the teams are players and have done the very same....
Drivers have chucked something out window to get a debris caution in the past....
NASCAR used the media notoriety , to manipulate their favorite poster child into the chase ( Namely Gordon )
so Hendricks could have all his car in ...
Gordon certainly did not race his way in.... NASCAR changed the rules and allowed 13 in the chase.....
Even tried to discredit FRow & Penski .... and bump Kurt Busch
I'll hang my future interest on ...if Kenseth or another non Hendricks driver wins the Cup.... otherwise I'll have little interest in
The fab 4 future manipulated championships.
-
Well said, Major 2!
-
Reckon I wanna keep the Ballistol away from that squeak the ‘Skins got by on. Sure is hell gonna need it again.
Then again, Denver in Denver next week. Squeaks don't werk miracles. Geezzzzzzzz………
Wanna ‘nother NFC North team. 2-1 agin them…….
-
Congrats to the Skins on their win today against the Bears. I am glad the Eagles lost. Congrats to the Bengals and Jets on their wins as well.
-
Brownies did their usual at GB, lose. Believe Weeden's digging himself a big hole, think those no.1 draft choices are going towards a QB again. Might see Campbell this week after coaches get some looks at tape ::) :( :-\
-
Tonight's game on the TV is a toss up. We are having the Beef Stew again tonight.
-
Well, the Giants finally won a game last night, I feel sorry for the Vikings. They were in the playoffs as a Wild Card team and beat the Packers.
-
'N ruined a perfect season............................
Looked like the Vikings were catchin' the flu er somethin'.
-
The new quarterback was not impressive in his first outing as a Viking.
-
News of the 91 zip high school football game in Texas made it o'er this way. Meddlin' parent wantin' personnel popped for bein' bullies. That's absurd.
Other folks are whinin' for 'mercy' rules. Used ta be they were called 'skunk' rules. Was sumthin' keepin' the losin' coach from pullin' his team off the field 'n forfeitin' the game?
-
ARCEY, The team on the losing end of that game was from Fort Worth. It made all the local TV stations around here.
-
Officially lost interest.... ::)
Does anyone beside me, think NASCAR's is manipulating it's version of the Jeff Gordon Farewell Tour
They gifted him the 13th. chase spot in 12 position Championship... revise rules they did not even have in place.
Gordon will likely win the the Cup, Jimmy second and will be fine with that, as he believe Jeff will hang up his helmet .
... Kenseth is only there to ad spice and distraction from the obvious Hendricks nod.
-
The Chase has been watered down this year by Nascar manipulation.
-
They’re pandering to a fan base represented on this board by an individual we haven’t seen for awhile. I can understand their desire to appeal to these people because they’re taken by media fueled celebrity worship and tend to spend money on the show and adjunct items, otherwise known as souvenirs, and/or junk. Each overpriced item changing hands brings a licensing fee to NASCAR.
The people like me aren’t interested in that. We’re interested in racing. For us, the unfortunate part is NASCAR is a business. Obviously they believe the path they’re taking is more profitable. Until it hurts the bottom line they’ll stay with trying to appeal to those who have to have the latest “Joooonyer” poster to tape on the ceiling over their beds. We lose. And, eventually, so will NASCAR.
-
Well said Arcey!
-
Not sure how many races at left this year... but I see it played out like this.....
A three way going into Homestead, Johnson, Kenseth & Gordon
The hype will set the stage, anyone of them could win , Just as they will be spouting.
I think it in the books already, unless Gordon has car failure, then it's Johnson ( and they are in on it )
If Kenseth lucks in, NASCAR will find some reason to stymie him....
I say the 2013 Cup is gifted to Gordon.
-
I have lost what little respect that I may have had for Nascar.
-
Thoughts on the Dolphin situation.
Don’t know what’s what. Hearin’ one thing from the media I tend to dismiss as PC ‘n other stuff from the players ‘n fans.
What I’ve gotten outta the whole thing I’m certain of – I don’t want an adult playin’ on my team that runs home to momma because he feels bullied. I don’t want a man individual on my team so physiologically fragile that he possibly can be bullied by his own team mates. Can one imagine behavior such as this out of Larry Csonka, a legendary Dolphin?
I've noticed, too, because it’s my team under assault by the media ‘n the hypersensitive loons they employ, since this crap broke I ain’t heard a whisper about the name “Redskins.” That’s a good thing. The Dolphins situation has provided another cause for the whiny bunch of panty-waisted, thumb-suckin' bastards to cry over.
-
There is a lot of parity around the league this year, Seattle, KC, and Denver are the best teams so far. The rest is a toss up.
-
The big finality to the Rick Hendricks benefit , dog & pony show ....
Ol 5 time will be 6 time ... thought I'd sure like Kenseth or even Harvick snatch the win , dare I say Championship ::)
I won't be watching, OH ! I guess I'd look to see who did what , but I'll be elsewhere involved.
-
I read yesterday that Dario Francitti is retiring from Indy Car. I guess that the injuries that he suffered were more serious than I thought. He is my favorite Italian Scotsman.
-
It hasn’t been difficult to leave it alone.
If Johnson, Kenseth or Harvick wins it, and one of them will, at the very least they earned their way in. Of NASCAR’S two preferred choices, Gordon’s out and Newman’s proven to be a joke.
Wake me in March for Phoenix. Should be interesting to see if the thief relegates Gordon back to fourth string and promotes Kayne back to the heir apparent.
-
I read yesterday that Trevor Bayne has MS. I really hated to hear that. I hope that it does not affect his driving.
-
I wish Trevor the best
Looks like it is all over but the crying for 2013
-
Saw Hamlin won.
Now that the season’s over, hope the boy goes straight to the hospital ‘n gets his back fixed.
I know what bein’ afraid of the surgery is. Been there, done that, got the screws, rods, posts ‘n stuff in me to prove it. Thing’s are a hell sight better after ya heal up.
-
I did not watch , I figure (correctly ) it was settled weeks ago when Gordon pooped and NASCAR threw the other Hendricks trump card.
I heard the cautions, and yellows benefited 6 time , every time ....
They have crowned the Modern Day Champ... and I dare say he will eclipse Dale , and King Richard in championship though his are scripted ... theirs were earned.
good for Hamlin
-
There are rumors he might retire M2, he might not try for another.
-
Just rumors, guys.
Roo mentioned on another thread that the Brownies got spanked yesterday. Defense did well, offense was.......offensive. :o ::)
Anyone taking bets on what the Brownies are gonna do with some of those first round picks? ::) :-\
-
When his retirement is announced along with his farewell tour, a dozen different paint (wrap) schemes and matching die cast models for each, ball caps of different descriptions and each officially the one-and-only, tee-shirts, jackets, bobble heads, coffee cups, Kentucky Fried Chicken collectors’ buckets, maybe even a Jimmie Johnson edition Holden Commodore and Lord knows what else for fools easily parted from their money to buy – I might believe he’s retiring.
When I see Johnson in an ESPN fire suit on pit road with a mic in hand talkin’ NASCAR dictated stupid sh*t (ala Andy Petree – ‘You X-Games fans out there, Pastrana is progressing.’) while the drivers are belted in, the nets are up and the motors runnin’ – I’ll believe he’s retired.
-
I thought LIT meant Gordon :-\
I expect he'll continue with Hendricks as a co owner....
Johnson is going for immortality ...and Hamlin needs to get his 1st.
-
I did not watch the cup race at Homestead. I am sick of the shady deals. I am only watching Nationwide and the Truck series next year.
-
I believe I'll steer clear of all NASCAR ...
I'll watch Indy & the 2 @ 24 hours races ... Sebring if I can find it
Maybe a few Continental Races.
-
I read yesterday that Dario was having to retire due to the injuries that he sustained in the crash in Florida.
-
Kinda laughed. A lot................
Ya get a different QB in 'n the whole team looks better. Generate more'n 400 yards in total offense. 'N ya cough up the ball seven times. Lose by a point.
Damn..................
-
Nice finish, Slim.
-
Nice finish, Slim.
The 1st half was disappointing. After the 1st play from scrimmage in the 2nd half, it improved greatly.
Slim
-
The Cowboys did not put the Packers away. They should have kept running the ball instead of Romo passing. They will not win another playoff game with him at Quarterback.
-
Is the problem with Romo or Jones?
Slim
-
BOTH!
-
We had the Pack's game yestitty. Enjoyed it. The weather was just about right.
Hope ya got room for a temporary Packer's fan through the playoffs, Slim.
-
Add Shanahan to the list of unemployed head coaches.
Ain't sure it's gonna change anything but the names on the office doors.
-
Boy, are the heads rolling! The Brownies are going back to square one.......again!Didn't even wait until the day after the game :o ::) :-\
-
We had the Pack's game yestitty. Enjoyed it. The weather was just about right.
Hope ya got room for a temporary Packer's fan through the playoffs, Slim.
There is plenty of room.
Slim
-
I do not have a favorite NFC team in the playoffs, I am for the Broncos in the AFC.
-
Andy Granatelli has passed. He was 90.
Ride a turbine to heaven, Andy. Rest in peace.
-
I saw that, RIP Mr 500.
Does not look good for Michael Schumacher right now, same type accident that killed Sony Bono, Natasha Richardson & RFK's kid, massive blunt trauma.
-
I will always remember Andy's STP suits. The Granatelli's had a Speed shop back east somewhere. I remember My Dad buying intakes and heads for our flathead sprint car in the early 50s.
-
We have the Oklahoma State/Missouri game on. OSU got an interception, but could not turn it into points.
-
Hearin’ a kid in one the bowl things intentionally gouged an opponent’s eyes. The POS must have a poster of Albert Haynesworth taped up on the ceilin’ o’er his bed in the dorm.
Hope he n’er gets near a pro team.
-
I am waiting for the NFL wild card games to start, snacks to follow.
-
The Colts beat the Chiefs and the Saints beat the dreaded EAGLES. The Chargers play the Bengals and San Francisco plays Green Bay tomorrow. Good luck to the Bengals and the Packers.
-
A couple of darned good games I thought. Enjoyed both. Lookin’ very much forward to today’s. Nothin’ personal to the folks livin’ near the fields but I’m hopin’ the weather’s awful uncomfortable at both.
Spied a couple GB boards. Some the faithful ain't all too optimistic. Hopin' they stomp some hiney on the frozen tundra. Cincinnatti in the early game. Pullin' for the closer-ta-home team in that'n.
May all four teams put up an all out, hard hittin', injury free effort.
-
KC had a lot of guys get hurt last night ::)
-
KC had a bunch of injuries before the game, and several during the game. The Chiefs are a great team and they will be back in the playoffs next year. They have a great coach in Andy Reid.
-
The Packers/49ers game has been the best playoff game. The Packers just tied it at 20 apiece. I am for Slim's Packers.
-
KC was only 2-5 after the bye. The 2 wins were over the Raiders ‘n the ‘Skins ‘n that ain’t sayin’ much with combined records of 7-25 for the season. They lost ta the Colts, at home, just before Christmas. I was surprised they blew the lead they had but not so much that they lost.
Pullin’ for the Pack ‘n the Bengals made a Redskins fan feel right at home yestitty. We’ll get ‘em next season.
-
I HAVE BEEN FOLLOWING THE BENGALS SINCE THEY DRAFTED ANDY DALTON. HE IS FROM KATY, TEXAS AND WENT TO COLLEGE AT TCU. I AM NOT A 49 er or Seahawk fan, so I am down to the AFC TEAMS. I HOPE THAT DENVER GOES TO THE BIG DANCE, AND WINS IT ALL.
-
I’ll be goin’ with the Patriots ‘less the Colts beat ‘em. Then I’ll go with the Colts. A regional thing is all.
Might be tough for the Patriots vs, the Colts without Gronkowski. Think he’s from Poland.
Fat lady’ll be sad if the Saints don’t make it on the other side. Think she’s gotta crush on Drew Brees.
-
Watched some College Ball last night. Florida fought hard and was able to get ahead of Auburn for the Championship. Auburn nearly won it themselfs. It was a nail biter
-
Always enjoy tight competition. Viewed DVRed copies of Cutthroat Kitchen 'n Chopped followed up with a episode of Top Shot.
Top Shot started kinda crappy but the Elimination Range featured a Hotchkiss Mountain Gun. That was right much fun.
-
JR Motorsports announced yesterday that they had signed Chase Elliott to drive #9 sponsored by NAPA in the Nationwide Series for 2014. Sam Hornish Jr with drive the #54 JGR Toyota in 7 races in the 2014 Nationwide series.
-
JD 'n Joe are too nice for their own good. That time should be used to evaluate developmental drivers not for charity. Wouldn't object if they fired Sadler 'n put Hornish in the 11 full time.
Nothin' personal, just bidness.
-
I figure that Sadler will be replaced before the season is over, if he doesn't put the 11 in Victory Lane.
-
Brady vs. Manning. Brady’s up 9 ta 4, 2 ta 1 in playoffs. But Gronkowski’s done for the season, Hernandez be in jail ‘n Welker’s playin’ with Manning these days. Interestin’.
-
Denver is playing at home, I give them the home field advantage. I hope that it is a high scoring game.
-
Hired ‘em a Special Teams coach – from the Jets………
Hired an Outside Linebackers coach – from the Browns……..
Hehehehehehe….. Oh well. My team, win lose or lose......
Hail to the Redskins.

Your cup is Half Full
-
Arcey, We can only hope that they are a better team next year. I want the Eagles in the cellar next year.
-
Cup's half full, team's half assed.......
Me too, Tex. Hope they put Vick back in next season. He needs the money ta bail his brother out - again.
-
What ever happened to the brother after he left VT?
-
Last I heard he was workin’ construction in Atlanta. Prolly a job Ron Mexico got for ‘im.
He was arrested/convicted downtown for drunk drivin’, evasion ‘n sumthin’ else a couple years ago. Ended up violatin’ probation on that ‘n sumthin’ in Newport News ‘n did jail time both places.
Jail time again last year for contempt of court for failin’ to provide financial records, given two chances, in a civil suit he lost.
A couple weeks ago he was arrested in Georgia for DUI - again.
-
He may become a more famous crook than his older brother.
-
After extensive analysis and consideration, I have concluded I have no idea which team wins the game. Therefore, with an extensive amount of hesitation, I will go with the ‘home’ team as I did last year and take Denver.
-
Arcey, I hope that Denver. I want Payton to shut Richard Sherman's big mouth. I want to see his jock hanging his ankles!
-
So far, the Hawks defence has really teathered the Broncos ::) :( :o
-
I was routing for the Seahawks but didn't think they had a change. The Broncos imploded.

So right Slim the Broncos offence did implode :-X
-
My system of pickin’ a winner werked last year……………..
Mebbe it was because I didn’t figger in me ‘n Chancellor graduated from the same high school ‘n Harvin went ta high school ‘cross the road from the Farmers Market.
Rats…………..
-
The game was over when Seattle got the safety. The Broncos imploded.
-
Sure was the way things turned out.
Thought when Denver kept ‘em outta the end zone followin’ the safety the game would get good. Thought wrong. Was a done deal, game over, after Chancellor reached up ‘n picked a Manning duck outta the air. It was a Seattle exhibition game after that.
-
The Broncos played so bad that the Cowboys could have beaten them this time!
-
Found this racin’ board. The members are doin’ a count down to Daytona with pics of race cars with the numbers representin’ the days left.
Some good old stuff in there inculdin’ some things from back in the day when modifieds were modified ‘n innovation was spelled I-N-D-I-A-N-A-P-O-L-I-S.
If ya got the time ta scroll thru it's worth a look.

I guess that you can call me old-school, the front engine(Offy) roadsters of the 50s and 60s are my personal favorites.
-
And they were all different. Your engineerin’ against mine.
Somewhere in there is a shot of one I’d guess goes back to the sixties. Had a motor in the back and one in the front. Four wheel drive.
-
Jim Hurtabiese was a diehard roadsters fan. He brought one to qualify, long after the roadsters were obsolete. He could never get it in the show.
-
Another shake up on the Lake. Banner and Lombardi are gone ::) :o Ray Farmer is now GM. Haslam says F.O. is now more streamlined. Seems this team just has a revolving door in place. Rebuilding never ends :-\
-
I am ready to watch some racing from Daytona. Speed Weeks coverage starts Thursday.
-
Reckon the marketin’ folks know some old folks still look it the NASCAR stuff even if it ain’t what it was. Someone’s got Tony Saragoosa(sp) hawkin’ adult diapers on the old SPEED thing.
Back ta paperwork – the printed kind, not the rolled kind.
-
Arcey, Those diaper ads might be important to some of old folks.
-
They just had the"big one" and the race is restarted. It is only an 80 lap race, it is almost half over. There is not much experience in these ARCA races.
-
Slow leaks. Don't sound like no fun.
Tony should get up with Theisman on the issue........
DVRin' this whatever they're callin' the clash thing this year. Ain't gonna stay awake thru it.
-
Depends should sponsor a car. Bladder outta control damage control. No wet spots on exit interviews............
Tore up a sufficient number of race cars for me. Most of ‘em I gotta chuckle outta. Nice ta see the good guy’s car win. Weren’t so nice ta see ‘nother cause a big’n ‘n the third try. That said, mebbe Johnson should get up with Busch fer schoolin’ on savin’ a race car.
Gotta kick outta the booth talkin’ ‘bout Stoddard ‘n Labonte usin’ their Daytona car. Hell, why not? All they’re gonna do is run ‘round a few laps, in the back, then park it. Thinkin’ the boy’s last on the PC list. Be a real shame if his brother had a problem ‘n had ta use his ta get in.
-
I was glad to see Hamiln to win, also glad to see 24 and 48 not finish the race. I am really ready to see the 150s next week. Imam ready for the NNS and Truck series as well.
-
I had said at the end last year (after the Chase BS gifts by NASCAR)
" I probably won't watch or pay attention this year...and did not watch the Homestead final.
well, I didn't bother the other night, nor did I watch qualifying today...
But ( darn it ) I still seem to want to pay attention to the results :-\
So is there anybody else thinking ...last years Pole by Ms. Patrick was a script , hype , for NASCAR ? ...and this year the "Rookie in the Grand return of the # 3...."
Heck... even Furniture Row, to add more interest in the Little Engine that could.
Press, Hype , SELL the Big Show , Daytona is NASCAR big showcase... "Best we SCRIPT IT "
-
The Childress stuff’s been fast thru practice. Ain’t thinkin’ anything’s up with it. Whether er not the folks hatin’ the three bein’ back ‘n/or the Harvick fans think Dillon can’t drive because he was born the grandkid of the owner, the kid can, in fact, drive a stock car. Think it was straight up.
If the 88 ‘n 3 had wound up on the front row I’d been tossin’ the bull poo-pay flag.
NASCAR sher is hell didn’t want Hamlin dominatin’ that thing last night but they didn’t mess with it. ‘N they sher is hell didn’t want the werld ta see the Holden pace car on fire ‘n gettin’ drug off onna hook. (I know, I know. It weren’t the car it was the add on stuff but it still looked bad on the bow tie.)
I’ll see what shakes out next Sunday. In the interim, I’m with Tex waitin’ on the NNS ‘n trucks.
-
There is a whole lot less hype in the NNS and the Truck series. More parity as well.
-
I don't know, the cars all competitive, within tenths of seconds , it's when they start to react against the air and one another is when the real test is....
I just think the set-up is preordained .... best newsy item is the return of the #3 and the Grand-kid....Note: the photo of Dale Sr. & the Kid in the winners circle in 98.... and Grand-dad's Claim he asked Dale Sr. , "if the kid could run the #3 if he ever made it to NASCAR"
Can't hurt to give the under funded team FR and Truex a bone ... NASCAR pretty well screw him last year.
They are defiantly, milking it .... like the First Female to win the Pole ....it sells tickets .
I'm not arguing... perhaps it's just the way it played out , or "Ol" Dale's Ghost was along for extra juice , but still
Hollywood could not have written a better script.... JMHO :)
-
Lotta truth in the Petty comments a couple weeks ago. Patrick ‘n the show. His comment, in 'n of itself, was hype for both. Nothin' much was bein' said or scribb;ed 'bout Patrick since the comedian thing durin' the dinner.
Some tech dude coulda give RCR a plate with bigger holes. Coulda done it for Haas last year. Either er both. Ain’t findin’ this’n as suspicious as the last.
Watch the phantom debris flags.
Just me.
-
I am hoping that Knaus and tricky Rickie are loosing a lot of sleep because of their engine woes. It seems funny to me that the engine woes are the engines furnished by Hendricks to other teams, and not the engines for the four HMS cars.
-
Nice example of car control by Bowyer yesterevenin'.
Thinkin' it was stick back a bit then slam it ta the left. Nice barrel roll. Landin' was a bit rough but she taxied ok afterwerds.

Arcey, I have never been a big fan of Texas A&M, I am sorry to see how low that they have sunk, to have to sponsor a car driven by WW. I was told that I was only half an Aggies because I went to college at Oklahoma Panhandle State University(Aggies).
-
Thought that was a damned well timed move by Peters yesterevenin’ ta get up front. Almost paid off in a win for ‘im. Didn’t think Busch could get back by ‘im off four but the JGR motors have been stout throughout week. Maybe if Peters had ignored Sauter flyin’ in low ‘n kept pinchin’ Busch towards the fence it would have been different. Then again if he had Sauter may have won the thing.
Enjoyed the heck outta the last few laps.
40% chance of rain this afternoon means there’s a 60% chance taday’ll go off on time.

I completely missed the Truck race last night. I had some problems with the DVR, so it did not record. I am hoping to watch it on replay.
-
Just a question in my mind...
220 MPH in 69-70 Superbird Stock Car @ Daytona or Talladega
or
one of these new Gen 6 Race car @ the same venues
which of these do you think was the tougher beast to handle....
I tend to agree with Petty , pretty girl's best chance to WIN is if no body shows up ...
not say'n' she won't win , maybe a rain shorten event or if 1/2 the field is in the Big one.
I believe I'd watch Petty & Danica in match pair of super-speedway superbirds ...
-
Those cars were BEASTS to drive back then. Power steering was not used and only bias ply tires were used.
-
Big block Hemi's,427 Fords. Cubes rule ::) :o
-
That’s Tony "They get upside down. It’s no big deal" Steward’s cash cow Petty was bad mouthin’. He had ta say sumthin’.
Someone suggested he was just "blowin’ ‘smoke.’" That’d be a sight……….
I hope he's all healed up so he can get back in the dirt car real soon.
-
Those Sprint cars can kill you. A 100 inch wheel base with 750 Hp engines, a receipe for disaster.
-
I read were Petty, said "he's 76 years old and hasn't been in race car in 25 years ! "But I'll take that challenge. When's this going to happen?"
NASCAR version of Bobby Riggs VS Billie Jean King ::)
May well be just exactly what they had in mind !
-
What be the pay off to Petty one may ax.
The 9? Does the poor-poor-pitiful-me-can’t-win-on-a-race-track-so-I’m-gonna-pull-my-pants-up-‘n-go-home-to-the-land-of-the-Holden get only a passin’ glance goin’ thru tech?
Or, does the hispanic ‘Cuban Rocket’ in the iconic 43, only marginally better’n Patrick, get the nod thru tech in the name of diversity?
-
Petty is the iconic name of NASCAR...he is the all time race winner & only living 7 time Champ ( at least until Johnson pulls it off ).
Petty VS Patrick is hipe & $$$$$, The King said it himself , "She's good for the sport ($) & good for him ($) cause it furthers the sport ...
Good press, bad press is still Press ..and press is good.
Does Petty need to prove anything ...no I would not think so , but the press would help his teams bottom line...
and your assumption of the "9" & "43" is just about spot on ....
Thought I do like the Aussie and his road course down under style, always enjoy a good Road Race.
don't care zip for the ‘Cuban Rocket’
-
The wait is almost over, the Daytona 500 will be starting shortly.
-
Fox is on in the den.
Fox is on in the Hey! Loft, sound shut off, stereo on MRN. Live scorin' open in another window here on the desk top thingy.
Tiny TV iis in the barn next to the reloadin' stuff, sound shut off, radio on MRN. Netbook's fully charged 'n online with live scorin'.
Be nice ta have some cold, real beer but it's a no no. Got O'Douls........

Rain and fill..............Ugh ::) :P
-
My daughter is in the stands, say's it raining and they have those drier things roaring around... there is Tornado warning to the south..
-
Roger, I hope that your daughter is dry or can go somewhere to get dry.
-
The place has lights. Hope they can get in at least half so it's final before the folks that can't stay 'til tomorrow have to leave.
-
The wife text-ed her " and responded it was WET & nasty ...not sure what they will do...stay or leave ?
I suppose the track announcer is say'n' the same as the TV broadcasters, clear around 6PM and they run under the lights.
-
The weather delays are always tough on the folks that have to go home or work tomorrow. It always seems to rain down there this time of year. The roast is smelling good, the veggies should go in about now and cook for a couple more hours.
-
When the fat lady 'n I'd go before the kids came along, we'd leave leave slips for Monday in case of reschedulin'. If we showed up for work they'd tear 'em up. Never did have to wait. I know some folks aren't able to do that tho.
-
It was nice that you could do that. Congrats to Junebug on his Daytona 500 win, and I am glad that dumb and dumber did not win. I was sleepy by the time that the race got restarted. I did manage to stay awake until it was over.
-
Fast forwarded thru most of this mornin'. Figgered if they'd called the thing durin' a caution for rain at just the right moment that'd be it for me 'n that show. Went the distance.
One plate race down, three ta go.
-
uggg June Bug....Don't care for him but he did have the fastest car
I'd watch the King and the Pretty Lady duel.
-
Just looked over the unofficial. A few of the low budget folks picked up some relatively solid finishes.
Cassill 12th – 300+K.
Sorenson 16th – almost 350K
Bowman 23rd – 334K
Wise 24th – 332K
Damned near 0930. Gotta get my hind end movin’…….
-
I think that everyone that started the race got 250,000. That sounds like a lot of money, but in financing a Nascar team, it is just a drop in the bucket. The price tag for one of the big 3 teams is about 30 Million for a year.
-
If I was to write a NASCAR Hollywood script ..it have the emotional return of the #3 and it gets the poll..
then JR. wins in a rock-um sock-um finish with the #3 in the final mix and three past champs following suit.
Well looks like it got wrote... :o through in Denny as the fastest in the prelims and you got a 3 hour MOVIE.
So JR. in in the Chase (win- you're in )
Never was a big Earnhardt SR. or Jr. fan, but the guy is polite... good for him ...
Bet Johnson wins California !
-
I was disappointed when Dale Jr. signed with Hendricks. Hendricks is a crook and I don't trust him any farther than I can throw him. He is a typical used car salesman. Johnson and Gordon get the best equipment, Jr. And Kayne get the leftovers. Jr. needed that win. I would like to see him win the Championship, but I know that won't happen.
-
My Daughter stayed to the end, got home about 3AM ...and took the day off ...Brought me a 500 T-shirt....
She wants me to go next year , said she was not really fan, but was now !
Back when I raced IMSA in the Camel GT era , we were a billing of sorts for the Firecracker 400 ... the Paul Revere 250 GT Road Course race...
That was the only NASCAR race I ever attended (as we were there anyway) ...
-
What brand did you run,Major2?
-
Porsche 911 Carrera, & Mazda RX
-
This week is Phoenix, a sorta flat track. There will be more new cars to tear up. The fabricators will be busy back at the shops.
-
Been wonderin’ if the peckin’ order of the thief’s teams has changed a bit. Ain’t sure where they stand. The renumbered 25 ain’t gotta driver in it what suddenly woke up ‘n remembered how ta drive. Kahne got spotty as the season went on.
Last I read they’re still 13 races short on sponsorship. Earnhardt ain’t sellin’ like he did. The folks with the checkbooks with heavy balances in black know the expected return on the ad bucks better than anyone else. Could be they ain’t willin’ to put the cash than the thief wants 'em to put on a mid-packer these days.
Anyways………….
Bring on Phoenix ‘n get a l’il closer to racin’.
-
Job security,TLD :)
M2, I went to some of the early Camel races at Mid-Ohio. They were running the RX-2 sedans at that point. The rotarys had a definately different sound to them,plus, when it was dark the flames out the exhaust pipes were stunning under acceleration ::)
-
The fabricators will always have jobs, either building, rebuilding, or repairing race cars.
-
Phoenix weather forecast ain’t lookin’ none too promisin’.
On other fronts:
Read the odds. An incomplete sample:
Johnson 5/1
Hamlin ‘n Busch 7/1
Kenseth 8/1
Gordon, Kahne ‘n the other one 12/1
Dillon 60/1
Larson 100/1
Of those in the field not mentioned above or below, 100/1
Almirola 200/1
Ambrose 300/1
Patrick 500/1
It be said she’s gotta 100K followers on Twitbook er sumthin’. Kinda obvious they ain’t layin’ any cash ta back up their claims she’ll start winnin’ this season………..
If we had OTB fer the game I’d put $20.00 on each JGR entry just fer giggles.
-
Arcey, We got Lone Star Park, just up the road from my house. I know they have OTB, let me know and I can place a wager for you.
-
Thankee, sir.
We got some screwed up gamin' laws in this here commonwealth. Politicians...........
-
I was never much of a betting man or a gambler, I really don't have enough extra money to afford to lose.
-
They coulda flagged that race at twenty laps yestitty. Barrin’ the unforeseen, it wouldn’t have made a damn bit of difference if it’d run fifty laps over the ad distance.
Nothin’s changed with Petree for this season. He’s tellin’ folks Harvick’s gainin’ on the 54. I’ve got live scorin’ goin’ ‘n ‘less the 54’s slowed up lappin’ somebody the 88’s steady losin’ ground just like ever’body else.
Guess Petree’s goin’ for NASCAR’s shill #1. Pastrana’s progressin’.
Wanna be outside taday. Radio only.
-
I hope that is the year is Junebug's year to win the Cup this year.
-
He drives for a thief. It'd be sad ta see.
-
This might be his best chance. I am not happy with who he works for. It is hard to believe that he is 40 years old
-
That effort’s relatively sudden surge to competitiveness after years, going back to DEI, of mediocrity leaves me smelling fish as did Dillon’s Daytona pole to M2.
The team is short 33% on sponsorship. His salesman says Hendrick understands his value and refuses to lower his price point. Apparently the game needs to be stepped up as potential sponsors’ fascination over the cash cow continues to dry up.
It’s not as if a thief, especially one skilled at bribery, doesn’t know how to use his resources with a corporation (Honda), government (Federal), or, in this case, a sanctioning body (NASCAR), to his advantage.
Is it coincidence a pardoned thief, in the form of Hendrick, and a convicted thief, in the form of Haas, have the rights to the two biggest frauds in NASCAR? I don’t think so.
-
I think that Tricky Ricky would have ended up in the Federal Pen, had he not developed Lukemia.
-
Ahhhhhhh yes. And the remission. The curative properties of a plea deal that keeps one’s crooked ass out of a federal penitentiary – especially when business associates, including a brother, are already serving time - are remarkable.
It’s a miracle!
-
The wonders of modern technology!
-
Kezloski won the Nationwide race. The Cup race is tomorrow, I am hoping for a good finish for Dale Jr.
-
I’ll be pullin’ fer Daniker…..
Waitin’ to see what the aero package does. The stuff on the NNS cars didn’t look real promisin’ yestitty. Lead car is still hard to get to ‘n pass. Ain’t seen ner heard no one scream ‘bout how great it is as of yet. The silence is deafenin’ ‘n prolly NASCAR mandated.
-
The #9 Chevy of Chase Elliott failed post-race inspection at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway for being too low in the left front. Elliott finished fifth on Saturday in the Boyd Gaming 300. NASCAR also took the right rear shock from the #22 Ford of race winner Brad Keselowski. Penalties are expected early next week.
The Penske bunch are the cleanest folks in the garage. Keselowski is madder’n hell ‘n he ain’t gonna take it no more!
-
The Penske Fords have been fast since Daytona, the rest of the Ford teams are clueless.
-
They sure's hell have qualifyin' down pat.
The over/under on Patrick's wreck is lap 159.
-
Hehehehehehe…..
NASCAR ain’t too predictable when it comes to ‘superstars.’ Logano’s comin’ up to lap ole Smoke ‘n the debris flag comes out……………………
Go figger.
-
That answered my question. The leader with clean air has the edge. The 2’d have never gotten past him ‘n he clearly had the faster car. Just like the 54 yesterday.
The JGR cars didn’t show up. We’ll get ‘em next week. Hail to the Redskins…………
-
Brad K made it two in a row today and yesterday. JGR needs to get untracked this year. I was hoping that Kenseth would take up this year, where he left off last year. Hamlin is healthy and Busch is usually strong.
-
The Skins signed Shawn Lauvao from the Browns. Maybe it’ll help both ‘em…….
-
The Cowboys did not resign Ware, He signed with the Broncos. Another 8-8 season ahead for them.
-
Plus, the Brownies let Weeden and Campbell go. They're down to Hoyer at QB. Looks like they're gonna spend another draft pick on a QB.......again. ::) :P
-
Maybe Johnny Football? These free agents are a "crap shoot" as far as I am concerned.
-
Yep. Reckon it’s the same with the draft. Never know what someone will or won’t do in your system. Roll the dice ‘n hope for a four ‘n a three.
Ran inta a Jones fan. She don’t like it when I call ‘er that – she’ll get o’er it. Kinda upset o’er the Ware departure. Gave ‘er son a Ware jersey for Christmas. Said she’d rather have seen ‘em off load Romo.
I was pullin’ for Hoyer, Buck. Hometown boy ‘n if memory serves he was doin’ right good when he got hurt.
-
I really hope that Ware does well in Denver. They are my favorite AFC team. The Boys are never going to be worth a darn till the Jones bunch either leaves or get someone as GM that knows something about Football.
-
Yeah, Hoyer had'em movin' ,Arcey ::) We'll see how he is after the rehab for the knee. Lauvao bein' gone is gonna call for a revamp on the O line. Might change things for him ::)
-
Arcey, I heard that the Skins signed Jason Hatcher from the Boys. I hope he is not past his prime, so far the Boys have signed folks that I have never heard of. What do you expect from someone that went to the University of Arkansas, the same institution that brought us our former beloved President Clinton.
-
What do you expect from someone that went to the University of Arkansas.........
Nothin' much......................... but that's funny.
Yeah. Hope he don't turn out ta be sabotage - like Norv Turner.........
-
I think that Norv will be the head coach in Dallas at some point.
-
I was glad to hear that 24 or 48 did not win. I was hoping that Larson would win, and sweep both races.
-
Thinkin’ yestitty it was better ta be lucky than good. Then again, the 18 had been better’n the 41 ‘n the 14 all day. ‘N without the overly aggressive set up that busted tires on the ones he couldn’t run with. Reckon that atta-boy goes to Rogers. BTW, that’s two bad tire-poppin’ setups in a row for Knaus………………
Thought it was another good race outta that place. Admittedly I don’t care for it but credit where due. Well done.
-
Knaus is just as slippery as Tricky Rick. I would not trust either one as far as I could throw. Crooks of a feather, stay together!
-
If this is an attempt at some sort of joke, it’s sick.
Hearin’ Jimmie Johnson lost his brother-in-law in skydivin’ accident. The man was 27.
I wouldn’t wish the like on anyone. My differences with Johnson have to be put aside far awhile. Prayers for the family.
-
Malfunctions in skydiving usually end up being fatal. It is a dangerous sport and folks can get killed.
-
The Skins picked Colt McCoy off the wire. They didn’t re-up Grossman. Wonder if this new guy wants three QBs or playin’ with the idea of peddlin’ Cousins for a draft pick or two.
-
McCoy was traded to the 49ers. I had not heard that they had released him. The Skins also picked up Desean Jackson from the Eagles. The preseason should be interesting for the Skins.
-
McCoy took a really bad hit from James Harrisson a couple seasons ago, don't know how that's affected him,but the Brownies didn't blink once in letting him go. Not sure if he got any field time while with the 49'ers. the Browns seem to be notorious for getting promising QB's hurt( Tim Couch was another one) ::) :-\
-
I think that the Browns need to hire a witch doctor to rid them of their curse.
-
Amen to that! ;) ::)
-
I might be able to help you out, my Cherokee ancestors were Shamans.
-
We still got rain at the track, they got the dryers out. The weather folks are saying that we will have rain tomorrow.
-
Quarter after three here in duh beach. The talkin’ heads sayin’ drivers intro in about a half hour………….
Ain't sittin' here 'n listenin' ta Ku Busch soul search.
-
The first year that they had the race, we opted to take a shuttle bus to the track and back. Everything went well until we got to the track. The bus driver got the bus stuck in the mud and we ended up having to walk a mile or so through the mud.
-
It is official, the race is postponed till Monday.
-
It has rained all night around the area. They are calling for a 12 Noon start on Fox. The weather folks are calling for more rain today, maybe they can half in before the rain starts.
-
Probably already decided
get danaka in the lead, and call it ....prove Petty wrong :-\
-
Reckon there’s a 70% chance it won’t rain………………….
Rainin’ in Darlington now. Maybe it’ll get it outta it’s syatem by Sunday.
Patrick’s kinda due. She’s gone two races without tearin’ one up. Since it's always someone else's fault, does appear the guys ain't doin' their jobs.

Great race even if it was a day late.
Shame Almirola messed up the former 25 ‘n caused him ta mess up the 48. Real sorry ta see that.
Harvick’s strong with them HMS step-child Holdens. ‘Nother good run like last week. Consistent finishes.
Good ta see Stewart back. Start on the pole ‘n only lose nine positions o’er the course of the race. Solid.
L’il Danica. So pround of ‘er. ‘Nother record set. First woman to finish less than three laps down in a cup race at Texas, EVER! Broke ‘er old record by a lap. She’s learnin’ ‘n improvin’. Ahhh… That feisty, l’il firebrand out there mixin’ it up with the boys.
JGR cars might be a l’il closer to the 0 ride height set-ups. It’s been kickin’ their rear ends.
Gramps wants RoY for Dillon he’d best step it up. The Larson kid just may be for real.
-
Glad to see someone win besides 24 and 48. I think Larson is the real deal. Little Austin needs to quit playing cowboy and start driving. The grand kids need to step it up quit reading all their press clippings.
-
Geezzzzz....
Looks like the Elliott talent weren't all Ernie's motors.
Ennyways......
This evening, weather permitting, Patrick can become the first woman to finish better than 16th at Darlington in a cup race. She starts in the top 33.
Janet Guthrie’s mark withstood Patrick’s challenge last year. Patrick did, however, become the first woman to finish 28th.
-
Good luck to Danica on that! We have a nice warm, spring day. The wind is not blowing too much. We had a late breakfast, so no lunch is planned. No clue for supper tonight.
-
What I left out on the woman in the May BS thread, every car she beat, except one, were in the garage or limpin’ home after bein’ damaged. The one exception…….. the renumbered 25.
"You know they're going to crash and I can't afford to wreck anymore here," said Earnhardt, who sustained a concussion in a multi-car crash at Talladega in October 2012. "You've just got to pick your battles, and I felt like we were better off not getting in a wreck and trying to stay back there."
Seems the boy was a l’il werried ‘bout gettin’ hurt ‘n backed off at the end.
-
I am curious to know why Junebug laid back for so long.
-
Had it on MRN when we were out lookin’ for birds – ‘n findin’ the nest. Guess it was somewhere in the middle ‘n he was in the front bunch swappin’ the lead ‘round. When I got back to the TV broadcast Harvick ‘n Hamlin were goin’ at it. Didn’t see the 88 again.
Maybe it’s just as he said it was. Or maybe that’s what Hendrick told Latarte to tell ‘im ta do ‘n say. Can't trust 'em anymore, like democrats. Werried NASCAR'll fine 'em if they say sumthin' what makes Brian unhappy. I dunno.
Seems it would be kinda embarrassin’ ta be one of the two drivers without battle damage Patrick out drove. ‘Specially since he’s supposed ta be the plate race ‘Pied Piper’ ‘n all.
In his defense, makes sense not ta push it at the time. He’s in the championship thing with his lucky win in the first plate race in Daytona. No need riskin’ tearin’ up the car.
-
I am curious to know why Junebug laid back for so long.
Want's to stay in one piece for the Wedding :)
-
Maybe he wants to remember it………………………….
Wonder if Kelley has the prenups done yet.
-
I was beginning to think that Junior would never get married. Kelley will always look out for his best interest. I am sure that he is set financially for the rest of his life.
-
This evening, Patrick can become the first woman driver to finish better than twenty fifth, two laps down, in NASCAR’s top touring division at Kansas Speedway. Patrick currently holds the record herself.
Patrick already holds the distinction of being the first woman driver to compete in that division on this track. She also has the title of the first woman to wreck out of a Sprint Cup event at the venue when she wrecked her car in the process of attempting to wreck another driver. Another first for Patrick is being the first woman to run her race car into the facility’s SAFER Barrier after losing control in the first turn of the first lap.
-
I am in bad of a good dose of Truck Racin', it looks like that I will have to wait till next week at Charlotte.
-
Busch ‘n caution flags stunk it up last evenin’. He’ll prolly have a Patrick moment this evenin’ ‘n put the cup car in the fence. He’s good at that in Kansas. Time for the 20 to win ‘n get all the JGR cars in the runnin’ for all the marbles.
-
Brownies are still snakebit. Draft Johnny Football and then lose Gordon on a drug violation. They DID NOT draft a receiver to pair with him either. >:( Know they needed a corner with T.J. Ward gone, but their anemic offense needed some beefing up. Which, they didn't do ::) :P :-\
-
No body said that it would be easy!
-
First race of the year I've watch, well it was on till the end anyway :-\
The Girl held her own... beat and didn't just out last 4 past Champs & one past Chump ....
Harvick had just run out time, I think he needed just one more lap.... and the rain bow warrior would have been the bridesmaid.
The Penske Kid is still showing he a contender ....the Penske Pollock is still a chump
Johnson lead once briefly but he has not been a big threat so far , and Rowdy beat himself again at Kansas.
:-\ wow ! look at that .... writing like I'm having some interest again ???
-
Tuned into the local for Fox Sports yestitty, Buck. Heard a pile of fans of the Jones team right upset yer new quarterback was available when their turn came ‘n Jones passed ‘im up. Myself, thinkin’ Romo’s the best there ever was ‘n they need ta keep ‘im.
The Kansas deal. Ain’t takin’ nothin’ away from the woman. That said, her finishes on the mile ‘n a halfs ain’t been much since she started. This season, mid pack a lap down at Las Vegas. 27th, two down at Texas. Then there’s a 7th last night? Said the car was new. It must be a peach of a car.
-
Arcey , The Skins drafted a RB from Baylor. He was averaging almost 10 yards a carry when he got hurt. He started out at Oregon, but came back to Texas and enrolled at BU.
-
Heard ‘bout ‘im. If he can help I’m all for ‘im. Got a couple mid-three hundred pound youngsters for the OL. ‘Nother youngster supposed ta be Orakpo ‘n Kerrigan rolled inta one for the pass rush. Here’s hopin’ for a better season. Shouldn’t be hard ta beat last year……………………
-
I am predicting another 8-8 season for the Boys. It will be a shoot out between the Skins and Philly, with the Giants as the unknown.

congrats to Bowyer and the Dinger on finishing 1-2 and Josh Wise as the fan vote winner.
-
Tickled for Wise. Hope it leads to better things for ‘im.
-
He is a good kid. The team is doing better since they switched from Ford to Chevy. Phil always drove GM when he drove.
-
Been ignorin’ Parsons since the start ‘n park stuff. Then there were the denials he owned part of the team a couple years back. Don’t like fakes ‘n theatrics. Just say yer makin’ money startin’ ‘n parkin’ ‘n yer creatin’ jobs for a few folks - be straight up.
The car’s run with empty quarters this season, full races. Good on both the driver ‘n the owner. Hope it develops inta better things.
-
Happy for McMurray. The boy had ‘em covered. Wonder if they’d have kept Montoya around if he’d popped up ‘n snatched one ever now ‘n again. Numbers wise there weren’t no difference in ‘em to amount ta anything.
DVRed the thing. Very much enjoyed it that way.
-
McMurray always seem like a nice guy. His career has really taken off since he joined Chip's bunch.
-
Aww, Lord, boys. Didn’t think I’d ever see it. So damned happy I’m ‘bout ta get misty.
Norfolk's Joe Weatherly voted into NASCAR Hall
(http://media.hamptonroads.com/cache/files/images/1505591.jpg)
The Virginian-Pilot
© May 21, 2014
Norfolk native Joe Weatherly, who won two championships and a most-popular driver award during his racing career, was among the five members elected today to the next class of NASCAR’s Hall of Fame.
Weatherly, who attended James Madison and Maury high schools, died in a crash at Riverside (Calif.) Speedway in 1964 at age 41.
His first NASCAR win came in 1958, and he won three times in 1960 and nine in 1961, when he finished fourth place in the points championship. His reputation as a practical joker earned him the title of “Clown Prince of Racing.”
He won the Grand National championship – the highest level at the time – in 1962 and 1963, and was leading the championship at the time of his death.
Joining Weatherly in this class for the Hall of Fame were Bill Elliott, Wendell Scott, Rex White and Fred Lorenzen.
-
I was hoping that Curtis Turner would make it this year, maybe next year. I am glad that the Thief did not make it.
-
Heard Johnson on the Sunday mornin’ radio show. Their set ups ain’t right. Cars gettin’ too tight in traffic’s been a problem for ‘em. Thought NASCAR cured that with this season’s aero package. What was it Hamlin got fined fer sayin’ last year? Somethin’ ‘bout the cars goin’ too tight in traffic weren’t it?
Got the f1 thing on. Don’t remember the last one I saw. Have they put mufflers on the ‘motaw ricers’ or somethin’? Kinda quiet ‘n funny soundin’.
-
Arcey
F1 changed the formula for 2014 ...they went from 2.4-litre air breathing V8 engines to 1.6 litre V6 turbo engines...
Designers have an energy recovery system that muffles the motors down.They buzz like weed whackers now.
The Australian Grand Prix has threatened to sue Formula One management over the lack of engine noise.
They claim they were cheated and received much criticism at this year’s race.

Kurt Busch finished 6th in Indiana, huh? Ain't too shabby.
Sports radio did some race talk this mornin’ ‘fore the thing o’er seas started. Some ole open wheel boy was talkin’ over advances in technology at the Indiana track. Talked ‘bout Mario Andretti ‘n down force. How sumthin’ was stuck on the car ta deflect air inta the radiator. Caused the front end ta lift. So, Andretti come up with front wings ‘n ‘discovered’ down force in ’67.
Pictured below is one of Don Garlits’ Swamp Rats, circa 1964/5, with Andretti’s 1967 ‘discovery’ mounted on the nose.
(http://www.garlits.com/images2009/SwampRats/swamp-rat-5A.jpg)
Glad ta see NASCAR ain’t the only one with media shills what are full crap.
-
I was hoping that Kurt would finish both races. I can't understand why they had six time involved in the selection of the Nascar HOF, I am sure that he was told to lobby for the thief. I was pulling for Matt or Harvick to beat six time. I turned it off, I could not stand to see that worm win.
-
I did the same ....
Kurt may well be a bitter pill for some...but he is a WHEEL MAN. Finished 6th. @ Indy , pretty much carried FR to the chase on his shoulders last year , can drive competively in anything ....(speaking of FR, Truex wan't to shabby last night though, But for a mechanical issue)
I've pretty much resigned myself, that Johnson is the heir apparent to tie the 7 time champs Petty & Earnhardt.
He has talent and the thief's deep pockets , And will probably keep the Rainbow Warrior from his 5th. before he hangs it up...
-
You are right, M2. It is a bitter pill to swallow!
-
Y’all might wanna take my attitude. The way I see it there ain’t been a true champ since this chase thing started. It became even less credible last year. This year………… psssssst…………
Couldn’t do much but sit back ‘n chuckle last night. Primarily pull for the Toyotas so we had:
Busch, the reckless SOB, has ta start in the back. Ran his hind parts off ta get lost laps back ‘n get to the front. After all that the car ain’t werth a crap after a half dozen laps.
Kenseth ran well ‘n wound up with a hole in the nose no one knows the origin of – includin’ Kenseth.
The normally crack 11 crew decides the evenin’ was the one ta start leavin’ wheels loose, not once but twice. Think Hamlin gave up after the second one.
Bowyer’s car was as fast as any all evenin’. At two down after foul ups in the pit he was turnin’ laps as fast as the leaders.
Vickers shown flashes of brilliance but no stayin’ power.
Ended up pullin’ for McMurray like last week – didn’t work this week.
-
I pull for anyone but, #24 or #48.
-
Been readin’ the various write-ups from the parade in the Poconos yestitty. Guess my declinin’ interest is showin’. Didn’t watch or record it, had things ta do, that had nothin’ ta do with shootin’, just heard some from the disembodied voices what speak to me in the station wagon.
Ennyways………..
Things is settled in this season. No one knows the unsolved aero problems better’n them racin’ the things – drivers, techs, car/crew chiefs. No one knows their drivers capabilities, or lack there of, better’n the dude on the box.
They all know there’s a great degree of difficulty gettin’ ‘round a car in clean air when yers ain’t. All of ‘em. No one gives Keselowski a lot of credit for intelligence. Wolfe knows better’n any of us his driver ain’t the brightest bulb in the box.
‘N that leads me to my question. Where in hell was Wolfe ‘n why wasn’t he yellin’ ‘NO!!!!!!!!!!!!’ by radio when the dummy pulled the stunt lettin’ the 88 go by.
Stay out front ‘n blow it, Forrest. Yer in the championship thing already. Points ain’t an issue. Get behind Patrick for any reason? ‘N she’s drivin’ a damaged car? ‘N she’s unpredictable with an undamaged car?
Ho-leeeeeee Kripe.
-
>>Well said- now back to Dale Jr.<<
Been thinkin’ on that out runnin’ errands.
‘Bout how much better the renumbered 25’s been runnin’ ‘n how poor Kahne’s been runnin’ since the thief was lookin’ dead at a third of the season for the former runnin’ unsponsored. Crowd ‘n the important part, TV ratin’s, still in decline the boy weren’t sellin’ like ‘e had been on name alone.
Thinkin’ on the move that gave it to ‘im yestitty. Maybe I could be wrong but startin’ ta think even Keselowski can’t be that stupid. Wouldn’t be nothin’ in it for Penske. Hell, Penske can buy ‘n sell the thief at a heavy discount ‘n not feel it. Paul Wolfe can tell Keselowski what ta do but Wolfe ain’t drivin’ the car. Don’t think NASCAR’s gonna cut ‘em a future break - they only do that for the thief ‘n them in his pocket for equipment, such as the tax fraud what pulled his time in a country club prison.
Naw. Keselowski just did a tear jerker interview. Heart was broke the thief didn’t look out for ‘im ‘n keep ‘im in the fold. He ‘n Earnhardt is pals. Wonder if that move yestitty was a ‘don’t forget me, Mr. Hendrick’ sorta thing. Keselowski can be that stupid.

Good points, y'all.

Got the biggest chuckle…………….
Ole boy on the radio racin’ show run ‘is mouth for a half hour ‘bout how great the NNS race was on a road course yestitty. Tolt folks there was gonna be pushin’ ‘n shovin’ ‘n hot tempers – as if ya don’t see that at damned near every oval - in California taday. Yessir, them there right ‘n left things is the best thing goin’…………
Close of the show he ‘n ‘nother guy are talkin’ ‘bout the show what follows ‘is ‘n the joke ‘bout the host hypin’ up borin’ soccer matches.
Pot, meet kettle.
-
Hehehehehehehehe………….
The boy was wrong. The sports talk guy (Bronco Fedola?) followin’ his show spent the first half hour talkin’ ‘bout Taylor Swift ‘n Bruce Springstein. Now he’s talkin’ Johnny Football or I’d been sittin’ in silence ‘n on the phone with Verizon.
Sunday mornin’ infomercials on the news talk thing………………………
-
Good Luck dealing with cable folks, Arcey.
-
Got the racin' talk show on radio.
Host is very knowledgeable. Sez Ford's strugglin'. Reckon the 2 'n the 22 is sumthin' else. Mebbe Hyundias.
Dude, try Roush is strugglin', not Ford. Might give ya a wee bit more credibility.
-
bad brad wins his second , cuts his finger on the champagne bottle ::)
He does get around Kentucky well...
perhaps he'll learn to drive and then drink responsibly.
-
The 'I Heart Racin'' radio thing can be a chuckle.
Remember the 'Ford is strugglin'' thing Penske didn't get the memo on?. This mornin' the boy does a Honda spot. Reckon someone else scribbled it for 'im ta read, whatever. Informs the listeners Honda has powered nine out of the last ten winners of the open wheel thing in Indiana.
Don't follow that form of racin' closely but I'm kinda thinkin' for nine of those ten years Honda was the only engine supplier for that series. Guess for those years, Honda was responsible for 100% of all DNFs due to engine failures too.
Geezzz..... No wonder we suffer the O'Bama presidency........
-
I read last night that Mark Martin is coming back to Jack as a Driver development coach. Mark can't stay away from Nascar for very long, it is good to see him and Jack back together.
-
Thinkin' that's what he was doin' o'er at the 'team Stewart started from scratch.'
Reckon he did all he could for the woman. Got 'er from 27th in last year's final standin's ta a strong, current 28th. She's learnin'.
-
shouldn't she be learn'n to go down ? Oh ! no wait...that ain't right.....I mean up in the standings ....
Not watching much at all, true to my word ( said I wouldn't ) .... Course I'm not deft ear...I see Wonder Boy is headed for #1 seed
and the thief is hedging his bets....
Bad B. seems in , as is sliced bread.....
Gibbs will be high in driver talent next year, spect'n Cousin Carl will move in .... Roush not so much even the bridesmaid coming back .
-
Dunno, M2. Stenhouse ain't talkin' 'n the sponsors are keepin' mum but she's qualified an average of 21.6 this season - average finish of 25th. That is goin' down. But, she's learnin'.
Rumors had Edwards' seats bein' fitted in JGR cars last time. When Carl 'n JD announce it I'll believe it. He sure ain't gonna bring nothin' useful but hisownself. Roush's stuff's weaker'n JGRs.
Ain't thinkin' drivers are RFR's main issue. Biffle knows what he's doin' despite age but he ain't exactly one the others fear. Take away the Bristol race, track position 'n all but a couple competitive cars out or walkin' wounded, the other a road thing 'n Edwards ain't done much either. Can't lower rate Edwards for the wins but he ain't been much in the rest.
Seein' those two fightin' with Mears, Menard, the Petty drivers 'n the like ain't makin' sense.
Stenhouse 'n Bayne ain't much ta stake yer future on, Martin er no Martin.
-
Far's qualifyin' went, kinda called it close.............
23rd Stenhouse
24th Mears
25th Biffle
26th Edwards
27th Ambrose
28th Almirola
29th Menard
Bayne ain't in it.
-
The Penske Fords seem to perform better than the rest of the Fords. I don't Edwards can win a championship with Roush right now. Maybe he can win with JGR. I don't see him going anywhere but there.
-
I watched some the Dallas Preseason game against San Diego. PITIFUL! I am not sure they can win one regular season game, If last night is any indication.
-
I tell myself the game yesterevenin' was just an exhibition game. They looked right good but it don't count 'n it ain't the final 53 of either team. It does, however, raise morale just a bit.
What's disturbin' is the learned commentators are sayin' they got a good shot at a 2012 type season 'n they're puttin' the Jones team in the cellar. That kinda talk doesn't bode well for the 'Skins.
Again, I'm lowerin' the bar of expectation. Just lookin' for one more win than last year. Anything better is gravy.
HTTR
-
They had said that Dallas would only win 3 games in the season, before preseason even started. I think that one game is more likely, even no games like the 89 season.
-
Don't know who yer hearin' it from but that's the same prediction I'm hearin' from the Fox Sports thing WTAR Radio carries. Same bunch with the guy runnin' the racin' show on Sunday mornin's that thinks Ford is strugglin'. Wish JGR was strugglin' along like Penske is.
-
Denver looked good yesterday. I overdosed on preseason football yesterday, I have the NFL channel on Dish Network.
-
Reading this morning Tony Stewart was involved a fatal accident at a NewYork dirt track?
-
Tragically, yes.
With my notorious dislike for the spoiled child, prone-to-temper-tantrum driver, I won't comment on it other than briefly. I don't know all the facts and/or circumstances.
He tangled with another driver on a dirt track in a sprint car race. The other guy wrecked his and got out to gesture at Stewart while the caution was out. Somehow or another, Stewart ran over the kid. Kevin Evans, Jr. was pronounced dead at 2315 hours.
-
Like you i don't know all the facts. Story here says that evans was wearing a black suit on a dimly lit track. That maybe a partial factor.
-
Yeah, saw that posited. The track was lit well enough to race black cars on.
Some witnesses are sayin' Stewart goosed the thing when he got to him 'n turned the car a bit sideways. Again, no judgment, but that's certainly possible. Intimidation or an attempt to throw dirt on the kid.
Whether I don't like him or not, he admitted to wreckin' Joey Logano to 'teach him a lesson.' This, I ain't likin' at all.

It says the Sherrif is investigating it.
Also was it Kevin Ward Jr. Or Kevin Evans Jr.
There is a youtube video- i won't post it. I did watch it twice and it looks as if he fishtailed and got him with right rear tire. Regardless both had a temper issue.
-
Ward...............................
-
Either way, It was a tragedy of great proportions. It will be something that he will not ever forget.
-
Watched the Glen today, quite a show 'dinger put on, and he put it to a proven hot-shoe road racer in Ambrose.
Shows something when the Head cheeses Roger Penske & Richard Childress , come to victory lane to congratulated him.
I was happy to see JTG Daugherty Racing get the solid deserved win.
I was also pleased to see 'Dinger offer sympathy to the Ward family elated as he was, he's a class act....
Allmendinger has a new contract, a solid sponsor backing extension, and solid W , good for him :)
Considering I had just about weaned myself off watching the Hendricks show .... this one was fun to watch.
-
Proud of Allmendinger 'n the whole bunch. JTG, an RCR satellite, doin' somethin' RCR ain't done this year – win a cup race.
Wonder if NASCAR's gonna put Newman on double secret probation for tellin' the truth 'bout that relic they was racin' on. Guess Jeff Gordon or 'nother HMS driver has ta hit where SAFER barriers ain't ta get things up to snuff. Lesser drivers don't count.
-
Maybe TrickyRicky can get something done. Congtats to the Dinger on a well deserved Win.

Attorney: Manning not receiving hormone therapy, by Margaret Stafford of the AP.
Excerpts:
'Chelsea Manning isn't receiving medical treatment for her gender identity condition'
'Manning, who changed her name from Bradley after her conviction'
'Manning sought evaluation and treatment after she was sent to the Fort Leavenworth prison in September 2013. She is asking for hormone therapy'
'but she has yet to receive any treatment, according to the ACLU.'
'lack of treatment puts Manning at risk for serious long-term physical and psychological harm, her advocates said.'
'Manning can't be discharged from the service while serving her prison sentence.'
Wanna take a SWAG of the stance, in print anyway, Stafford 'n the AP takes on the name “Redskins?”
-
OMG !

quick , give it something :o ... less they loose ( parole ) that thing !
-
This Manning thing is disgusting! It is not worthy of discussion. Another black for the Army, to go along with the one for the deserter.
-
Black eye indeed ....include the Fort Hood shooter
-
I can't believe that the Army was hard up enough to admit him into the Army, given his background.
-
Stupid ACLU will fight for his/her rights to medical treatment, but we have thousands of Veterans that can't get treated for service related disabilities. What is wrong with this country?
-
I can get into the "beer" drinking part of this thread... but, I have to apologize, the "racing and the football" parts are as exciting as watching paint dry, grass grow, or chrome bumpers rust.

Roo, The SEC rivalry between Bama and War Eagle is epic. It is always a great game. My epic game is OU/OSU, the game is called BEDLAM!

Nice ta see Buescher win the road thing. Now on to some race tracks 'n get another.
JD wants an owners trophy he needs to get rid of the retreads. Hornish, two missed shifts leadin' to two blow motors in his last three races. Blew one up in Chicago the same way. The win in Iowa was a fluke thing. Kinda why he ain't drivin' for Penske no more 'n no one else wants 'im.
-
Yep, He should have stayed in Indy Cars. I watched some of the Truck before I went to sleep in my Chair.
-
Since it's only preseason stuff, best of luck ta the Browns, Buck.
(No. I don't really mean it. Bein' O'Bamasque.)
-
I think that they drafted Johnny Football, just to put folks in the stadium.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhh............
An epic battle of perennial cellar-dwellers. Gripping, edge-of-the-seat stuff.
Manziel flips off the Skins.......
I AM OFFENDED! WE HAVE BEEN VIOLATED! THINK OF THE CHILDREN! THE DAMAGE IS IRREPAIRABLE! IT'S GEORGE BUSH'S FAULT!
Shocking. No one on the Browns or Skins has ever seen that before. Nor the people in the stands, or those watching the broadcast. What of the officials' feelings? Certainly none have ever cast such a gesture.
Send him to sensitivity training! Suspend and fine him! Banish him to the soccer fields of Outter Slobonia to teach him global sportsmanship! Neuter him!
What next? Civil law enforcement using helmets, shields, body armor and military surplus equipment in riots unrest and looting demonstrations? Oh, the humanity!
-
I still have my Helmet and 36 inch wooden baton from the early 70s.
-
Had ta turn all my stuff back in.
Had ta turn all the stuff they knew about back in. Ain't got no body armor, helmets ner sticks no more.
Edwards to Gibbs. Fourth team, #19. Primary sponsor's some sort of electronic gizmo company I'm not familiar with.
-
Sponsor is Arris, a network equipment company. I heard they are only sponsoring about half the races.
-
I had an idea that Carl would get #19 next year. I knew the number was available. I'm not familiar with that sponsor either. Got luck to Carl next year with JGR and Toyota.
-
Few of the front runners have start to finish sponsors anymore, cuz. The Arris Co. they picked up is the primary, others will come along. Maybe they already have.
Aflac bought a full season with Roush 'n Edwards a few years ago. They'd sell races to others wantin' to be on the car for one or more races. The bigger the race, the more it cost the secondaries.
Bad's they're runnin', Tex, he may have taken a step backwards. Kenseth might have had a good run had he not got hung up in the marketin' tool's mess.
The Arris NWS car. Suspect Edwards' ride'll be close to it:

TRD folks sez they're werkin' on it. Ain't hadda new configuration since the RO7 or the FR9's come in.

The main knock on the Fords for many years were the cylinder heads, maybe that is the problem with the Toyotas.

Griffin's easy. If he stays healthy he wins games. Unhealthy or hobbled 'n Cousins is the better choice.
Stewart's sittin' Bristol out. Reckon this is Zipadelli's version of 'business as usual.'
-
Former Texas Longhorn QB, Colt McCoy is on the Redskins squad right now, I don't think he can make the team.
-
The Skins' answer ta JGR's Hornish?
-
Robert needs to learn how to get rid of the ball and quit running so much. He was such a part of Baylor's offense that he thinks he has to be that way with the Skins.
-
Gotta learn he ain't lookin' o'er the line at Horned Frogs no more.
The Orakpos 'n Kerrigans of the league play for real 'n every team's got Berserkers just like 'em.
-
With his knee the way it is, all it will take is one solid hit to the leg to take him out for the season.
-
That's about the size of it!
-
Wonder how long Hoyer's knee is gonna hold up? That Ex. game against the 'Skins, the right side was a seive. Schwartz couldn't handle whoever was across from him. If the offense doesn't get it in gear, it's gonna be a loooong season ::) :-\
-
The OL is a big question mark for the Browns. Johnny Football may have to run for his life, if the Line play does not improve.
-
They've always skimped on the O line,TLD. Since they came back in '99. Tim Couch got ruined that way, and, to some extent, so did Colt. No running game is a real indicator of problems. Hot shot backs have come in there and failed because of that O line ::) :-\
-
The Browns have not had any good running backs since Jim Brown.
-
Their ones beat our ones but not by much. Theirs is better'n ours ennyways. Had some flashes of brilliance. HTTR.
Bad night for JGR overall. 18 hung up in someone else's mess. 11 'accidentally' taken out by convicted felon's driver runnin' in leased equipment belongin' to a thief.
Don't know if ya follow TT or not, Tex. Looks like Beamer bought/brought a free agent ta VT.

TCU has done the same, They brought in a transfer from Texas A&M with one year of eligilibilty left.
-
Well, the offense was.....offensive last night :-\ Same problems on the right side, Schwartz. Don't know where his head is, but it sure ain't on his job. >:( Rams QB got hurt again, would've been a worse score if he'd have been in there for his full shift. It was bad enough with the 2nd and third QB's in there. Brownie's were just terrible at gettin' off the field on third down. Just seemed like their heads weren't in this one. The first round corner got shown he wasn't all that last night on a few plays ::) :-\
-
Has the look of a long season.
-
I won't give up on the Skins this year. I know the Cowboys will be in the running for the #1 2015 NFL Draft pick. I will be backing the Broncos in the AFC.
-
New coach, new co-ordinator= same old problems. Continuity would help. They haven't figured it out yet ::) :-\
-
The Rams QB will be out the entire season, will have knee surgery the second time on the same knee.
-
Be lookin' at 'em the first week of December in the Peoples Republik of Maryland. Maybe the Redskins can win that'n.
-
Bradford seems to be jinxed, the second time to be cut on that knee. I am sure that the Rams will check the waiver wires this afternoon when the first cut is made.
-
It is Saturday. Let us Pray
War Eagle!
Amen

What we got in one article in the pilot (lower case intended): In the ODU report we got the FCS, FBS, C-USA 'n a coach formally of the CIAA.
The ODU Monarchs, C-USA, face the HU Pirates, FBS 'n also an HBC. Be TVed on WTVZ.
ODU had it ruff in the great, international, world's most popular sport. They lost ta W&M who is The Tribe. Ain't got their Indian Native American Indigenous Peoples mascot no more. They gotta bird.
Which reminds me, I'm offended by the name Pirates.
Virginia, UVa, The Cavaliers, prolly offensive to pacifists, not to be confused with VT or Tech, they're turkeys, most likely offensive to vegans, is gettin' its collective butt handed to 'em by UCLA.
Makes me long for winter with a bowl of Beef Vegetable soup with alphabet noodles while I'm tryin' ta figger who's playin' who 'n why. I guess the 'why' part's money.

Opps........ Missed 'er landin'. Happens. Beautiful bird tho. Thanks for the link.
Nova. Some call Norfolk Nova. I use Nova for the occupied north. Commentators it the ODU, C-USA vs. HU, FBS 'n HBC on WTVZ can't pronounce Norfolk.
-
ODU, C-USA, 28-14 over HU, FBS 'n HBC at SBBS/FF, Nor-folk.
Gotta great idea! HU, FBS 'n HBC's Pirates play the US Navy's Midshipman. Navy's special teams could be called Seal Team 6.
Commentators are obviously biased towards HU, FBS 'n HBC.
-
ODU, C-USA, 35-14 over HU, FBS 'n HBC at SBBS/FF, Nor-folk.
41 yard touchdown pass 1:38 inta the second half.

Got a good size bowl of the preachers dayghters recipe bean dip.... Not salsa it is more like Texas caviar. Got a cold brown bottle. Some homemade wings 21-21 in the half.
-
Apologies. The dinner guests had to be entertained. They're gone now.
ODU, C-USA, 41-28 over HU, FBS 'n HBC at SBBS/FF, Nor-folk.
Wasn't as impressive as the score looks. ODU, C-USA's D managed two red zone turn overs. Those won it.
Next week will be NCS, ACC. The commentators can pronounce Raleigh.

OSU played better the second half and made a game of it. They lost 37-31.

LSU won 28-24. Wisconsin out played them most of the game.

My little brother is telling me that i went ro high school with LSU coach Les Miles- don't recall him still don't like him.

He was coach at OSU before he went to LSU.

He made OSU a contender and Coach Gundy has continued.

Expectations are never high when yer a Redskins fan. That said, Hail to the Redskins.
Weather don't look all that promisin' for Richmond. Rain flooded the garage area yestitty ta the point water was in some the haulers 'n mounted tires were floatin' 'round.

On the farm system front, ODU, C-USA's gonna hafta play a bunch better'n they did last week or UNC, FBS's gonna kick their patooties.
Prolly munchin' celery sticks, low fat ranch dressin' 'n unsweetened tea.
Reckon ya can enjoy it as is or deal with the frustration.
-
It looks like rowboats are in order in Richmond.
-
Rained the last tome i went there.. Like that.
Dogs gave there proper auburn wear
-
Bet some of them floating tires move faster than the drivers, probably finish better too.
-
I don't see any flat rocks around.
-
Just read some good news on college ball. VT, ACC, the lower right hand corner's bandwagon fan favorite, ain't playin' at OSU, BTC, 'til 2000 hours this evenin'. That'll mean the local Saturday news/talk show won't be preempted.
Finished watchin' the DVRed Richmond thing. Disappointin' parade - no matter how hard the booth hyped the 5 'n 9.
-
KB was the car to beat at Richmond last night.
-
Ya lead every lap, EVERY LAP, even after restart following a phantom debris caution late in the race I guess ya kinda gotta expect NASCAR gonna find sumthin' wrong with the car in post race.
He ain't a boy no more. Hell, Keselowski learned. Busch should know better'n that.
-
Roo, Did you get snacks for the Girls?
And their favorite team shirts
Has it dried up at Richmond?
-
Roo, Are they War Eagles or Elephants? The OSU Cowboys are having an easy time with Missouri State. They made the game close last week against Florida State. They got behind early and really did not get untracked until the second half.

Richmond was disappointin' but sittin' up ta midnight got me a full night's sleep. Woke up 'n it weren't dark out.
As expected, ODU, 'n whatever alphabet stuff follows it, lost. Early article says even with the loss they proved they belong – later one says effort not enough.
As not expected, VT won. Opponents was supposed ta be #8 of sumthin'. I reckon 'nother one them alphabet things 'n decided by a subjective bunch kinda like a committee.
UVa won but they beat Richmond. Ain't sure what that means. Sounds like kissin' yer sister.
Ennyways....................
HAIL TO THE REDSKINS!
-
Happy to see the Hokies (whatever the hell a hokie is) beat the Buckeyes. A few other top 10 campuses had it handed to them. Then their were the Longhorn's tsk tsk tsk.....
Quite honest even though the score shows a clear win. Auburn defence is clearly not as good as the offence. Auburn mAy have the 2 best quarterbscks in the SEC

Used ta be the security was off duty Henrico (Hen Rye Co?) cops. Knew one was ex-Norfolk. Werked for his daddy when I was a pup. Told me folks'd kill for the gigs. Heck, we used ta fight o'er security gigs for some the shows it Scope 'n ya had ta wait for someone to retire ta get a Tides game. I was on the waitin' list ta be on the waitin' list ta be an alternate. Got ta werk exactly one.
If it was an ODOHPD yestitty evenin', I'm kinda doubtin' he'll get the OD gig next year. Mebbe walkin' the parkin' lot, but not where he can see the race. More'n a l'il embarassin'.

Henrico PD aledgitly (spell) has a reputation for events at RIR.

The Police should have called the FD to bring a water cannon, to blow that drunk off the fence, problem solved.

Electrify the thing. Drunks won't stay on it long.

All I'm lookin' for is improvement. Just one more win than last year. Am I werried? Hell no! Got's us fifteen more games ta play. I'll werry when they're 0-12.

I hope that the Cowboys and Redskins don't get into a race for the Number 1 Draft pick for 2015. I hope that the Cowboys win that honor, maybe they will finally get a decent QB.

The Brownies should be in that race too.
Deduct a million from Romo's signing bonus for each interception. He'll find a open man.....peyton had good first half.
-
I wish that we could deduct some years off Payton's age, the Broncos need him around for a few more years.
-
"Arcey, Jerry didn't look too happy last night. Garrett is not the problem, Jerry is the problem, he has an Al Davis complex. The Defense sucks, the Offense sucks, even Special Teams are lousy."
Jerry is the perfect owner.
Just the humble opinion of a Redskins fan.

If'n I were a Hollywood scrip writer ... "Ricky's Boobies" in the chase.
..I'd have the Richmond race called on rain while Pretty little girl just happen to be leading because everybody else had pitted for fuel etc...
As the King said "only way she'll win out right , if everyone stay's home"
... course it stayed clear I guess, ?
so best have a drunk climb the catch fence and have Johnson faint to add drama... EH !
sooner or later though, the weather & mystery debris caution will align so Helton can gainer her one...
-
It should have a soap opera, with all the drama before, during, and after the race.
-
FOX spent a season advertizing the drama for NASCAR
-
Anyone notice Edwards' run? Qualified 10th then dropped back, found a comfortable spot a few positions behind Biffle 'n stayed there all night.
Bein' a supporter of JGR, I expect the same loyalty 'n willingness ta sacrifice his run when 'nother JGR driver needs a spot when he climbs into the 19 next season.
-
Well not as flagrant as "the Spin" and Truex is in" Boyer pulled and got Himself & MWR busted for last year....
But this time it wasn't " Poster BOY" Gordon , left in the dust ....
Gar ron tee ... every team has a think tank figure 'n how to stack the deck.
Still say, if they could squeeze some and not be too obvious, Ricky's Boobies would be in and GOLD in NASCAR's post season.
-
Save tha Drama for yo MaMa !

I hear as part Ray Rices punishment he is being pickrd up by the cowboys.. They don't beat anyone.
Romo doesn't hit women, he has tired but misses.

What happens if Michael Sam cold-cocks his boyfriend?

Baylor won big again last night. I watched the game on the TV in the motel room. They have a 42 inch LG, and it has an incredible picture. It is better than my Vizio.
-
Caught the last 9 laps at Chicagoland. Harvick winning.
Got Alabama vs SoMiss on.
Gamecocks vs e caroline during commericals
Got bored watching TexasTech lose at home.
-
And the Hokies got it handed to them.
-
East Carolina, with a buncha letters, beat VT, with the letters in back 'n a number up front. Louisville, with a number in front 'n letters in the back got beat by U Va what ain't gotta number, just letters.
Wish Jacksonville had a number in front for tommorow's game.........
Beamerball fanatics are on suicide watch...........
-
I watched Baylor win big last night. TCU beat Minnesota this afternoon, and my OSU Cowboys are leading UT San Antonio right now. Hopefully the Cowboys will win tonight..
-
Seein' ODU, what don't have a nummer, beat East Michigan, what don't have a nummer either. Both have the same letters.
Held 'em ta 3 points. A team record. Sumthin' special 'cordin' ta the writer. Hadda lot of true freshman in the defensive mix along with the false freshmen.
-
The OSU Cowboys held on to win. They scored on the last play of the game on a interception. The 3 college teams that I follow won yesterday.
-
Game of the week the (no numbers) un rated Florida Gators vs Kentucky Wildcats.
-
The Brownies and the Skins both win, the Armmagedan has started.
For Arcey

I hate that Robert dislocated his ankle, no timetable on rehab. Redskins still win. I was surprised to see Dallas win and the Browns beat the Saints. The biggest upset was the Chargers beating the Seahawks.
-
Ain't speakin' of the injuries. It happens. Ya gotta play hurt. Speakin' 'bout the win 'n stayin' positive. Score 41 on 'n hold to 10 anyone in this league ya did good. Three more on the left side 'n I'll be happy. Hail to the Redskins!
BTW, congrats, Buck. Weren't shown here but I read Hoyer got 'em there. Happy to see that.

Yeah, they played 4 quarters for a change.The boy showed some poise in the 2 minute drill at the end. Must've actually learned something from Brady ::)

gonna be interesting how the Tony Stewart thing plays out....
wasn't there , saw the Video , :-\
Kid was ::) culpable ..... Smoke's demeanor :-\ can you really try him on his past antics ?
Looks like some Podunk DA in an equally Podunk county sees headlines, and wants to ride this thing to his own 15 minutes
-
Tantillo is a constitutional officer. Politically, I'm bettin' he doesn't know whether ta s**t or go blind so he's takin' it to the GJ. Whether or not Stewart gets indicted depends on how Tantillo presents it. Not braggin', just sayin', I've never taken a case to a GJ I didn't get an indictment on. It ain't difficult.
Never have thought Stewart was very bright in a legal sense, or in any sense save racin'. He claimed runnin' in the NNS as a Right-to-Work issue. Thinkin' he may have made an incriminatin' statement the night of the incident the prosecutor can't dismiss.
When it rises to the death of a human bein', one's wise to speak to investigators thru an attorney. From the green flag so to speak. Stewart didn't do that.
-
I guess that it will decided by the Grand Jury. I hope this will curb the incidents of the drivers getting out of their cars while the other cars are gong around the track.
-
Roo when did the UN start rating football teams? Do they only rate the ones that don't use violence during the game?
They are there for humanitarian efforts only. Condelezza Rice is leading them.
WarEagle!

How did the War Eagles do in their game last night, I went to sleep right after it started.
-
I read where Ambrose is leaving RPM and returning to Australia. JGR is picking up Stanley and DeWalt as sponsors for Kenseth and Edwards for next year.
-
Rumor is he's goin' home ta drive for Penske. Down there, they call the Chevrolet SS a Holden Commodore.
T'other rumor is Hornish ta fill the vacant spot at Petty. Reckon that's the competitive ride he's been wantin' on.
Ennyways..........
ODU, C-USA beat Rice, C-USA. The pilot (lower case intended) been tellin' us how tough Rice is all last week. T'was a high scorin' game twix two teams without defenses.
V Tech, with some letters but no number, lost ta G Tech, with some letters but no number. After the game the V Tech coach said they didn't play Tech football. Apparently G Tech did. Ain't no expert in this here farm system rankin's ner nothin' but I don't think V Tech's gonna get 'nother number Monday.
-
I was really hoping that WV could beat Oklahoma, but it did not happen.
-
After yesterevenin', if gettin' the 9 car'll get 'im out the JGR line up I'm pullin' hard for Hornish ta land the ride.
Hear it said no number Rice, C-USA, lost the startin' QB, got hurt early. Replaced 'im with a sophomore with a red shirt but in the pitcher it looks dark blue. Guess it could be the camera.
Also sez they lost three of the OL from last year due ta graduation. Replaced 'em with freshman. Didn't say if they were true or false.
-
Read that about Ambrose , he's going back to what he was meant to drive, he's one hell of road racer.
Hornish had been a Penski camp guy, may have been some wheeling & dealing between the Captain and the King.
Might have a bit of the Coach's nod as well.
True to my convictions, I haven't watch any NASCAR, but I have read some , I see Jimmy's whinn'n' he not the dominating car
The thief as JR's box boss making cheating noise's about bad Brads' ride.
Figured it worked before, maybe the thief can steal a last championship for the Rainbow warrior.
-
Reckon the ultimate, most popular 'ricing' in the world has a color thing too. Different colored tires anyway. Wow.
Done seen two cars on the TV screen a couple times. Close competition there. Heard a compellin' Brit accent say the safety 'caw' is comin' out. Must be like a caution.
Thrillin' stuff. Maybe when this is o'er we can see some soccer.
-
Musta had a safety caw while I was away. L'il closer tagether. Wonder if I missed one rice caw
pass overtake another.
-
Wonder if the dude what won the eff one thing's related to the NASCAR Hamiltons. Heard some key pliers were knocked out. Musta cut a hot wire 'stead of a lock. 'N I missed it......
On a serious note, another got killed in a sprint car. Guess that's 'real' racin'. They get upside down, it's no big deal, huh, Stewart?
Wouldn't lift a finger to regulate the things out of existence. But if people just quit going to the amateuristic crap it'd suit me just fine.

Good Luck Lady!
-
Hamilton is from England. The Skins had a hard fought game against the Eagles. Cousins did Purdy good at QB, I was really hoping that the Skins would beat those damn eagles. The Cowboys pulled out another one and I cannot believe that Houston lost to the Giants.
-
Watched the first half before we left. Finished with the radio. They played well. Too many mistakes. One thing's sure, the Philadelphia team knows they ain't Shanahan's Redskins anymore.
Cousins keeps it up 'n Gruden's gonna have a real problem when Griffin gets healthy.
Freakin' Penske cars are flat strong.
-
They are the best Ford team for sure. Joey has found a home at Penske. Cousins done good.
-
I like to see the Captain get another Championship 1-2 ... and if it were up to me, Sliced Bread be the Champ...
won't happen, but that be my choice ..among those two....
Figure the pendulum "that is NASCAR" will swing and Jr., Johnson & rainbow worrier ( lower case/spelling intended )
Figure NASCAR will ...work a fix ::)
and it will be a toss up... 7 time hype, VS final go 'round, VS most popular driver , any way they spin it...it's a media Win Win...
-
The Penske Fords have been strong all season, Roush has been on the outside looking in.
-
Gotta figure, this is the last best chance for Gordon to get # 5
Johnson's got time on his side and he'll more than likely tie, maybe best ...the King & The Intimidater
If there is a Script..and I believe there might be as NASCAR moves more toward Reality TV VS a Sport ...
Then the thief will, purchase a last cup to Gordon :-\ and certainly one for Junior a some point.
Bad Brad, the Busch Bros. and Smoke , will have to get theirs on shear talent, while side stepping the mystery cautions,etc.
Smoke however, may be done :-\
and this Kyle Larson kid may well be the next Gordon & Logano may have one in him too...
JMHO opinion
-
Appears to be the first time in a while Johnson ain't gettin' the best stuff. If he gets it it'll be with second rate stuff. Also seein' the 88 ain't runnin' quite as well as he had been lately. Elliott's lookin' right good. Put Gordon in the best stuff 'n maybe he'll win another championship 'n get out of the way.
To 'honor' Gordon, the thief retains the rights to the 24 and retires it. The 9 goes from Petty to the former 24 team with Elliott drivin' the thing wrapped in NAPA colors.
Kahne will be extremely excited about the great things goin' on with his new ride with Front Row Motorsports. After a couple seasons he be back in sprint cars, 'real' racin'.
Thinkin' if the 2 'n/or 22 can make it thru the plate race the thief's gang is gonna face an uphill battle – phantom day-bree cautions or no.
Do wanna caution folks ta the racin' expert on the radio talk show who proclaimed – 'Ford is strugglin'.'
-
I think that guy should change his comment to Roush is strugglin'.
-
Seein' no indictment for Stewart. Also seein' the other dude was stoned. That'll knock a few zeros off the family's civil suit. Maybe they'll go after the track for not catchin' it.
'Real' racin'.......................... Yeah.
-
If it goes to court, Family Lawyers will try to have the weed evidence excluded. ::)
-
Geeee..... Ya think?
Would werk a l'il better'n tryin' ta explain away the THC saturation of tissue 'n fluids of a corpse, huh?
Just could be the ambulance chasers' percentage of the hoped for settlement just went up and/or gone to prepaid.

I had not heard about the presence of THC until last night. That might have caused him to act irrational.

My expectations will not be lowered. There's three more wins in there somewhere.

The Seahawks have the ugliest uniforms in the NFL.
-
No doubt.........
The same idiot what thought the Redskins v. the Seahawks would be a good game for a nationally broadcast night game musta designed the things.
-
Added excitement it the ODU, C-USA football game
http://wavy.com/2014/09/27/streaker-causes-stir-arrested-at-odu-football-game/
-
Baylor won big again this past weekend, This was their first Big-12 game.
-
I haven't seen the seachicken costumes- i mean uniforms but they caint be any uglier than University of Oregon's uniforms.
-
The Ducks uniforms are a bit much. The worst part of the Seahawks uniforms are the lime green shoes, especially the larger sizes.
-
Maybe they are trying to cause their opponents psychological trauma when they see them on the field TLD>
-
A bunch of the Big-12 teams have exotic uniforms.
-
I see ODU, C-USA's QB is tryin' ta draw personal foul penalties.

Instructions ta rushin' defensive players wrote right on 'is helmet.
-
I am a happy camper! All three of my college teams won today. Oklahoma State beat Iowa State, Baylor beat Texas, and last, but not least, The fighting TCU Horned Frogs beat Zero U(37-33) . Zero U was ranked #4.
-
The Reskins will be on the field with Seattle tomorrow night.
I was never a "Skins" fan living there nor Ravens. I am glad they are still called the ReDSkins. Some needs to shove one of my sweaty socks in Costas mouth and seal with duct tape. Not Seahawk fan either so i will pull for the RedSkins.
Watch the start at Kanasas Race start- young lady's first time out made it till the second lap before finding the wall.... Ooops dont text and drive.
Back to the second half, War Eagle!
-
For personal reason i am happier than a pig in poop over the smack down Auburn gave LSU
-
Tiger Bait!
-
LSU did not impress me. In the meantime Nova will lead Auburn to the real rivalary game against Alabama. Who slso is struggling this season. I'd truely love to see a rematchog last years SEC championship against the Seminols. With a different outcome
-
Duno must possess extremely unique talents off the track to keep her in rides. Meanwhile, Johanna Long sits 'n watches.
Patrick has added another to her long list of accomplishments. She's the first woman to qualify 29th – twice – for a cup race at Kansas. Starting from there the first time, she became the first woman to put her car in the fence before completing the first lap of the race. Finished dead last.
Don't wanna talk about the Redskins.
In the NFL farm system; ODU, C-USA got stomped some kinda bad in front the home crowd, most of which had left SB Ballard Stadium Foreman Field by mid third. Hearin' it's cuz they only have 2 years of FBS recruitin'. Wunner if that'll change if they give 'em a number. Or maybe a different set of letters. I'm thinkin' it's cuz butterflies don't have a prayer inna stampede.
-
I don't think giving the team a number means squat
-
Blacksburg team lost 'n they took their number away. Guess the number givers were pissed cuz the bunch made 'em look bad. Ennyway, after that they won..............
-
I am anxious to see the new rankings on Monday morning. I hope that my three teams will move up.
-
And the Fords continue to struggle..................................
-
Big time tire problems for everyone.
-
Now I'm startin' ta get it.....

-
Finally a formula that works!
-
LOL
Trying to watch the "skins" it is hard to do.
Can i interest anyone in a game of lawndarts? It might be a bit more interesting
-
Bout time i say that they come alive
-
Coulda been werse.
Do wonder how much the bribes ta the refs cost...
Arizona lost their first Sunday past. They'll be pissed.............
-
Seattle seems to be the best team in the NFC, several teams in the AFC.
-
I always think that the ref's are paid off- doesn't matter what game you watch.
This "targeting rule" in college ball is unnneeded. Who thought that up NASCAR? Play ball if you can't take the hit play badmitton
-
I totally agree.
-
Who thought it up? Prolly the same dude that scheduled the Redskins vs. Seattle for a prime time Monday evening game.................................
-
I wish the score had been different, and the Skins had won.
-
The REDSKINS (not afraid to say that word) played better against the Seahawks than i imagined they would.
-
Seattle played down to their level. That 'n the flags.
-
Dallas gets Seattle this week. Seattle gets another win.
-
I read this morning in the National Speed Sport News that Hornish will be driving the 9 car for RPM next year.
-
Reckon the 9's the competitve ride he's been holdin' out for.
Lotta kids on the track strugglin' in junk hopin' ta get somethin' half way decent. Oh well........
-
It bees that way sometime!
-
Betcha Buck's happy with that.
First Browns game we've had in this market this season. They never let Pittsburg in the game. Well done.
-
Let's hear it for the Browns, and they did it without Johnny Football!
-
Let's hear it for the Browns, and they did it without Johnny Football!
I don't think Johnny Football is what the Cleveland Fans call him. Just a guess
-
I am having to eat a large Crow, I did believe that Dallas would beat Seattle, but they did. The Skins are losing a tough one against the Cardinals.
-
Further evidence, nothin' good comes outta DC. Or Richmond where they train for that matter.
Heck of a come back by The Pack.
-
Who would have thought that Dallas would be 5-1 and the Skins would be 1-4.
-
Who would have thought that Dallas would be 5-1 and the Skins would be 1-4.
I imagined they'd both be at the bottom-
Who'd thunk the Browns would win against the Steelers.
I can't get into NFL like I can College Football.
-
Roo, I am with you on the College ball. I follow Oklahoma State, Baylor, and TCU.
-
The Brownies haved owed the steelers a whoopin' like that for a looong time, considering the lop-sided games they've had to endure since '99. Too bad they lost Alex Mack doin' it. Looks like the current coaching staff has hit the right culture finally. I'm really starting to like Pettine ::)
-
Pittsburg deserves an ass whooping from a lot of teams.
-
Damn.........
Them fines NASCAR put on the 2 'n 14. Gonna leave a mark. A bit harsh but ya gotta learn 'em.
Proportionately, give me a chance ta smack the crap outta idiots I encounter on the road 'n face nothin' more'n a twenty five ta fifty buck fine 'n a four errand probation, the station wagon'd be lookin' like it'd been thru a demo derby.
-
I think the folks should be enrolled in some Anger management classes, especially Brad K, Denny, and Kenseth.
-
Kinda figgered the hokies, or chokies as many refer to 'em, lost yestitty evenin'. Paper didn't have the score plastered up top the page - dead give-away. Had ta scroll down ta the sports section ta see the coverage by the fan, 'n dedicated follower of beamer-ball, what poses as a reporter's line. Saw the score from there, didn't read it. Don't know if the winners had a number er not er if they're in the big somethin', top somethin' er big-top somethin'.
No start page article on the Patriot/Jets game. Might have been 'nother guy somewhere in the market interested in that'n 'n the game came down ta the last. Then again, might be just me. Read 'bout that on the NFL page. Long's I gotta hunt for it I won't give the pilot (lower case intended) the internet hit ta show their advertizin' clients.
-
Rex Ryan's days as coach of the Jets are numbered. I digger there will be more coaching vacancies before the season is over.
-
Baylor took one for n the chin today, a tough loss on the road against West Virginia. Another one of my teams will lose today, either TCU or Oklahoma State.
-
Baylor took one for n the chin today, a tough loss on the road against West Virginia. Another one of my teams will lose today, either TCU or Oklahoma State.
I just the missed the score on the TCU and okie-
Texas A&M well it id not pretty at the half. ....Roll Tide! ( i route for them till the Iron Bowl)
Hadn't caught many of the scores. I think LCU -Kentucky might be interesting
-
Ohio State won pretty big over Rutgers ::)
-
TCU won big against OSU(42-9). They held OSU to 3 field goals.
-
Ole Miss took it to the Vols.
I missed the Wildcats?
Talledaga weekend not looking foreward to traffic this evening
-
The K State Wildcats beat Oklahoma.
-
A great win for the Skins. It snaps a 4 game losing streak. They are now 2-5. Hail to the Skins!
-
Peyton at 509 and counting
I understand a few were liminated from the Chase today.
-
Gotta figure, this is the last best chance for Gordon to get # 5
Johnson's got time on his side and he'll more than likely tie, maybe best ...the King & The Intimidater
If there is a Script..and I believe there might be as NASCAR moves more toward Reality TV VS a Sport ...
Then the thief will, purchase a last cup to Gordon :-\ and certainly one for Junior a some point.
Bad Brad, the Busch Bros. and Smoke , will have to get theirs on shear talent, while side stepping the mystery cautions,etc.
Smoke however, may be done :-\
and this Kyle Larson kid may well be the next Gordon & Logano may have one in him too...
JMHO opinion
Kinda play'n' out ... Hollywood , reality style .... Johnson, Jr. & Kayne are out ...leaves the rainbow warrior as the lone warrior
VS bad brad & Sliced Bread ....though no one has told Kenseth.
There in lies (sic) the final 4 ..... I'd bet Gordon gets # 5, if he don't tangle with someone and get taken out. (danica) and speaking of her, look for her to be on "Dancin with the Stars".
Oh ! and Kayne is out in an another year or so to make room Chase Elliot.
IMHO's scripted crystal ball :)
-
On behalf of the Redskins, I'd like to thank the entire Tennessee team for the calls and execution of same on their final possession. With that they made the victory possible. Couldn't have done it without 'em. HTTR
Race went well for the most part. Still have two JGR efforts in the mix. Two non-winners still eligible for the championship. Kinda strange to be pullin' for Newman along with Kenseth 'n Hamlin the third choice.
Kinda sad for Patrick. Back to back 33rds at the track last year. Only missed 22nd by three spots yestitty. She coulda been the first woman to have twin finishes at the place in consecutive seasons. Regained her hard earned 27th position in points over the 17. Go Daniker!
-
Kayne,J J, Dale jr, and Kyle Busch were eliminated.
-
Hearin' the Jones team done cut Micheal Sams loose. Here awaits a golden opportunity for good ole Wrecks 'n the Jets. Suck 'im up 'n make him 'n the affable Percy Harvin, from dear ole Landstown High, road roomies.
-
I didn't understand why they put him on the practice squad in the first place.
-
Large majority of the posters on their board were of the opinion Jones saw a potential money maker in merchandizin'. Reckon the buzz died out 'n they showed the dude the door.
-
He was a fairly good College player that wasn't good enough for the Pros.
-
Sams has a fine college education. He'll find a high position with a Fortune 500 company as soon as his professional football opportunities dwindle away.
Why was it the naming the classes was totally unnecessary. They're the same sort no one taking the courses can remember Micheal Vick showing up for.

-
Oklahoma State has West Virginia this weekend. I hope the Cowboys can win. I don't know who Baylor and TCU play this weekend.
-
Damn.........
The hokies got smokied. T'was 30-6 (at home) with the 6 scored in junk time. The fan posin' as a reporter might be entertainin' the idea the game's passed the immortal Beamer by. A thought he termed as ridiculous just last year.
Ain't no expert but I'm thinkin' it ain't lookin' like they're gonna get a number this week. Equally in jeopardy is their chance at a game after the season. Wonder how Beamer's bonus get funded without the money from one them things.
Maybe with more close losses like this one, they'll change radio stations on the chance that's what's wrong with the team 'n the stuff I wanna listen to'll be back on the air. In the interim, misery loves company. Go Hokies!
What say, Billy? (inside joke on the announcers)
-
A tough loss for the Hokies.
-
OSU lost to WV yesterday, TCU won big against Texas Tech, Baylor did not play this weekend.
-
Juniornation is celebrating at Martinsville this afternoon... Stay off the interstates they are heading home now.
-
A tough loss for the Hokies.
The loss ain't the problem. Teaches good sportsmanship to the stoodent-affleats. Beamer's restaurant’s ain't doin' real good. Cause for a lot of concern there.
Heard the race's anthem. UNC's band did it. Announcer introduced UNC as the pride of the ACC. Reckon he missed the news.
Folks o'er here in the lower right ain't gotta interstate ta gum up, just 58. And, the radar trap otherwise known as Emporia. Home of the world famous Elliott Sadler.
-
And his large pack of hunting dogs.
-
Damn. His restaurants 'n huntin' dogs both shuttin' down. Tough situation......
-
I glad to see Jr. win at Martinsville.
-
Longs it weren't Kenseth, Newman or Hamlin I was happy.
Earnhardt's made the best outta gettin' some the 48 stuff 'n won four but he's out.
Newman 'n Kenseth still in the runnin' with no wins 'n Hamlin in it despite missin' a race. Be funny as all hell ta see this 'win-you're-in' championship format blow up in France's face.
-
I hope it does. The France family has run NASCAR long enough, it is time for some time ne else to take the reins.
-
I'll bet the Fix is in ...Gordon gets # 5 .... Logano is 2nd.
That's the reality show script ::) IMHO
-
Yanno...............
Bad they've shown theirownselfs ta be, a 20-17 OT loss wouldna been too awful hard ta swallow. A 20-17 OT win looks right pretty. 'Specially agin that team in their house.
Thinkin' McCoy's gotta fairly tight grip on #2 for the time bein'.
HTTR
-
Colt was a good Player at Texas. Being drafted by Cleveland hurt his pro career, He sat on the bench at San Fran. The Skins picked him up as a cheap third string.
-
That'un turned into "The Battle of the Former Browns Ouarterbacks". Weeden verses McCoy ::) :-\
-
Browns always been one my favorite teams.
Cleveland got any Earnest Byners lookin' for a new home? Be pround ta put a Super Bowl ring on a finger.
-
Both of them were shoved into uncomfortable situations while they were at Cleveland. I am sure that both of them are glad to be free of the Browns.
-
Wow....... Browns to the 49ers to the 'Skins. Heh, heh..... Thinkin' McCoy may be at his low point.
Just wonder if he knows what he took part in doin'. The silly 'Skins devoted (me) ain't gotta listen ta squat from that team's fans 'til December.
Now, if by some miracle, they can split with the team from SE Pennsylvania it'd be a right nice off season. Played 'em tough the first time but no cigar.
HTTR
-
The Eagles have a bullseye on their backs. They are not my favorite team.
-
Seein' Sadler's leavin' for the mighty Rosch group. Takin' the loan place with 'im. All I can think of is he has some mighty revealin' naughty photos of someone highly placed in that there financial institution. Long's he's gone don't much care.
Hope Wallace gets the 11 'n the open truck seat goes ta Jones full time. Wallace's won 4 truck races 'n 4 top 10s in 6 NNS runs, time ta move up. Jones may have some potential. 3 truck wins in 16 races 'n 2 top 10s in 2 NNS races. Not too shabby for an 18 year old.
Speakin' of old, see Patrick made a great late session run ta take 27th in qualifyin'.
-
I went to sleep early last night , so I missed the Truck race. I might watch some of the Nationwide today. Moose is gonna be gone most of the day. Victoria will be guarding the premise today, so I will be safe. She works cheap, a corn dog or chili dog.
-
Beamer's bunch done got beat, again. Fans ain't happy with the QB Beamer got off waivers. Thinkin' they can ferget gettin' a number. Couple the disembodied voices in the attached sayin' the same thing 'bout the school gettin' a big check for post season play. Ain't gonna make it ta a urinal much less a bowl. 'N that's a good thing. One less radio show they'll preempt.
-
Reckon the ole boy what talks racin's tired ah gettin' beat up o'er his racin' commentary. Whole show so far's been the open wheel thing runnin' somewhere in Texas taday.
-
They may be at the new F-1 track near Austin.
-
Another tough loss for the Skins. Denver is having trouble with New England.
-
No wonder they're predicting snow, both sides of the Brownies showed up last night. 24-3.........Woof,Woof! ::) :o
-
I don't know what happened to the Bengals last night.
-
Make that four truck wins in twenty (I think) starts for Jones. Losers are whinin' 'bout a gas can........
The feisty l'il firebrand out there mixin' it up with the boys put her bad Holden in a solid 32nd in qualifyin'.
6 'n 3. Must be nice, Buck. Good on ya. Same record as the Skins. Numbers just swapped places is all.
The Skins absolutely, positively will NOT lose tomorrow. Monday neither.
HTTR
-
Good luck to the Skins. I think that they brought back RG III too soon. Colt was doing a pretty good job as back-up. This is the best situation that he has been in since College.
-
Baylor beat Oklahoma, Texas is beating West Virginia, Texas A&M was leading Auburn. TCU plays Kansas State tonight.
-
27 to 32 position is par. She looks good getting there though.
-
Texas beat West Virginia, Baylor beat Oklahoma, TCU beat Kansas State, Texas A&M beat Auburn. A long day of College football.
-
The Broncos are winning big against the Raiders, The Cowboys actually beat Jacksonville, and last but least, Wonder Wimp won't win his 5th Championship this year. Life is good. This year's Champ will be a first timer(Newman, Lagono, Harvick, Hamlin).
-
"(Newman, Lagono, Harvick, Hamlin)". I'd almost like to see it in that order...
First time Newman , with no wins , in NASCAR's face :) Doubt it though !
Interesting though, :-\ the Reality show that is NASCAR has Gordon on the outside, I'd have bet he was the heir apparent.
-
He was almost crying, while they were interviewing him. I was surprised that NASCAR found some loophole to let him be #5 in the Final Chase. I am convinced that Hendricks is in bed with the folks at NASCAR. I would not trust him any further than I could throw his Fat Butt over my house.
-
I'd have to agree...any of the 3 besides him....
Hendricks, must be already writing the new parameters of the chase rules for "15" , as this go round didn't suit his drivers ::)
Gotta chuckle, Newman's in ... If Newman get the "W" next week, so much on the plural wins get's you the cup !
-
Hamlin deserves it as must as Newman. Plate wins ain't racin' wins. But one JGR effort remains, the thief's proper don't.
'14 didn't work out as the thief planned. Oh well. Had ta give it a shot. Did get 'im a NNS championship. He's still gotta chance, once removed, with the 4.
Still kinda funny when celebrity power tapers off 'n a third of the season's unsponsored. The 25 gets a fire lit unner it with some 48 stuff, the R&D duties go to the 5 (Kahne's disposable ennyway) 'n the boy wins two on 'is own, one plate 'n one Keselowski screw up (gettin' behind Patrick while leadin' at Pocono) got 'im two more. Reckon he'll get the AARP tag when Gordon quits 'n Elliott takes the vacant 24 ride.
Kahne'll be excited to be a part of BK Racing 'n he'll talk 'bout how they're gonna turn their program around 'n be a contender to win week in 'n week out.
-
I'm Thinking that Chase will get the #5 ride, Kayne is on the outside, looking in.
-
Well just damn.......
Was messin' with breakfast 'n missed most the f1 news runnin' on the eye heart racin' radio thing. My racin' news day's ruint.
-
I am sorry that you missed it.
-
Pathetic. Just friggin' pathetic.........
HTTR
-
The Pack is pummeling another team.
Slim
-
Brownies lais an egg today :( So much for division first place, believe they're now slid to third :P
-
Wanna grab that clown in the 10 jersey. Get the rubber hose, push 'im down in a chair, get in 'is face 'n yell, 'Awright Jason Campbell, come clean! How did you get on the field and what have you done with Robert Griffin III!?!?'
-
I am sorry to say that they put Robert back in too soon. Colt was doing okay in his absence.
-
Reality show racin' is over.... Newman came within 1 point of the championship with no wins.... so much for that hype.
Would have tickled me to see him crowned ....had to be the thief's & the killer combo though.
Gordon is still whine'n', and the Kid has nothing to be ashamed of with 5 wins.
'xpect Gordon to try again , I suppose, Kayne is worried with Chase's heir apparent ascension shortly...
course Kayne might get the SHR ride...when they give Kirk the boot ..... don't mater if he smacked her or not, his parachute is roman candled. ::)
-
Yep, Kurt has run out of "do overs" in NASCAR. He has dabbled in NHRA drag racing, in Pro Stock.
-
He wasn't shabby at Indy either...
I was put off by the liberal Calif. Democrat, that called for NASCAR to suspend him.....
"The charges are horrifying," she said..... what happen to innocent till proven guilty ? It stills case of she said he said....
-
Kurt has always been a "loose cannon", and Kyle, to a certain extent. Kyle has gotten better, and it looks like Kurt has gotten worse. I thought that he really had a good relationship with his girlfriend and her son.
-
Folks said his rather well developed ex had a good influence on the boy. Best I know she got the bi-level penthouse at the Westin down the street a mile or so in the settlement. 4.4 million worth 'n, so far, quietly out of sight.
Busch stayin' in NASCAR is gonna be up to France. This championship format shows he's more interested in gimmicks and hype than he is racin'. It's a show 'n PR's important. Busch gets an unfavorable outcome to this thing, good bet he's gone whether Haas, owner/sponsor/convicted felon, wants him gone or not.
Sponsors in the open wheel thing with the money to back a competitive organization ain't gonna want him in their effort. Besides that, they have ride-buyers waitin' in line for open seats. 'Bout the same in pro level drag racin'. His dabble in Pro Stock was financed by Shell. Basically a rent-a-ride. Shell threatened to leave Penske after the Busch/Punch thing. The uncut video went viral.
He's kinda on his last shot in a competitive ride with Haas. It goes bad Busch is history.
-
Shades of Little Al Unser ( Booze, many DUI's ) and Randy Lanier ( Drug King pin, he got life but paroled after 26 years) , and the Whittington brothers when down with him ( Drugs & income tax evasion.)
I pretty much think he's toast.... Haas might keep him if the allegations are BS , but he probably shoved her or something and she gonna ruin him....
I see Kayne in the seat....and Chase to the Hendricks A1 team , SHR is Hendricks A2 Team
-
This off season will be interesting. The "silly" season has not been as active as usual.
-
Don't know about Kahne. Maybe something in the vein of Furniture Row. The HMS discards rarely land a decent ride or one with an HMS extension team such as SHR. The boy didn't help himself when he didn't have the nerve to take Kenseth out for wins last season. Ky. Busch is an exception 'n he'd probably still been there if the marketing machine had stayed with DEI. Remember the 'no room at the inn' thing didn't last long when push came to dollars.
Haas wanted someone who could put Haas Automation in the win column, hence the 4th car. I don't think he'll keep it on the track without Busch.
-
The off season will be interesting, no matter what happens.
-
Meebe nothin' happens with the assault thing. Interestin' Busch hired the same lawyer what struck a deal for Adrian Peterson. That'n didn't werk out real good.
-
Peterson is suspended for the remainder of this season.
-
So much for the Kahne speculation ..he signed on for 3 more years with he Thief...
So I guess Chase stays in the B series another year...can't hurt
I still think, they'll scrap Busch @ SHR ...his tarnished image can't be sold to anybody, except Haas whom also is tarnished.
Besides NASCAR would be " fine" if he went away....
-
Chase is still the future of Hendrick's. Another year in Nationwide can't hurt anything. He has a long career ahead. I found a beautiful engraved SS Bodyguard in 357 mag in a Pawn Shop and put it on Layaway till after Christmas. It will make a good conceal carry pistol, with 3 Speedloaders.
-
2 more weeks of SEC football. Looks good for the Tide- i am not sure "Nova" can rally the Tigers defense to another victory.
-
Hope VT has those letters. They ain't gotta number. Means they won't be messin' up my scheduled radio programmin' with farm league stuff.
-
Baylor plays my OSU Cowboys tonight. They have managed to shoot themselves in the foot lately. They started the season great, then they hit a losing streak, and never recovered.
-
Tide rolled over Western Carolina. Half hour till The eagle flys
-
TCU had a bye this weekend. They play Texas on Thanksgiving Day. It should be a good game. I hope that it is dry enough to take Victoria to the Park for her walk/run.
-
Tech, think that's how the faithful refer to 'em, lost in an offensive barn-burner 6-3 in double OT. With any luck that ought ta keep 'em off the radio post season.
ODU beat a 'Tech' from somewhere else. Think they have the same letters. Ain't sure cuz the tech ODU beat hadn't lost in same letters games. Neither of 'em got a number far's I know. O'ertime 30-27. If I got it right they're even in one set of letters 'n losers inna 'nother set.
-
Wasn't able to follow Auburn last evening but i read they won. Against Samford U.
Alabama suffers injuries with key starters- but think Nick's Tide will still stop Gus's bus in next weeks iron bowl.
-
It should be a good game, either way. I slept in this morning, I am on my second cup, easing into the morning. No clue for breakfast, lunch, or supper today.
-
Good game, Buck.
Albert Morris 125 yards rushin', one touchdown.
Robert Griffin III 106 yards passin', 11 rushin' for a total 8 yards short of the runnin' back's 'n no touchdowns.
Defense holds the opposition to 17.
Final 17-13 them.
HTTR......
-
I think that was the best game that the Skins have played this year.
-
It was ugly, but still a "W", Arcey ::) :o That last 44 seconds was a thing of beauty. Kinda reminds you of the old "Kardiac Kids" 8)
-
The Cowboys squeezed one out against the Giants. They have to play the Eagles twice in a week, hopefully they can win at least one of the games.
-
Griffin benched. McCoy starts against the Colts. Mixed thoughts on the decision.
HTTR
-
Colt has been decent in the games that he has been in. He doesn't have much to lose. I still think that Gruden brought Robert back too soon. That ankle has to be fully healed for him to be effective.
-
Don't know what the injury has to do with these situations. Protection 'n five open receivers. That's just one image. Think he's gotten gun shy 'n the cure for that's play him. Season's ruined anyway.
(https://mindstar.com/redskins/Awful_RG3.jpg)
He threw it away on that play.
Just my thoughts. Let him sink or swim 'n he can't do either carryin' a clipboard.
-
I wish him well whenever or wherever.
-
Think they used him up,Arcey? The Brownies were famous for ruining promising young QB's ::) ???
-
Colt and Weedun are 2 examples. They are both doing well in their environments.
-
Kinda disappointin' after the rookie year with this one. When they're winnin' with him in the backfield ya kinda ferget runnin' QBs ain't got great odds at stayin' healthy in the pros.
-
Old habits are hard to break, especially for Robert. He did it all through College.
-
I thing the shot Colt took from Harrison in 11 or 12 didn't do him any good. Then there's Couch ::)
-
Sure looks like what the Redskins do to 'em, ruin up. Can't help but wonder what Griffin could have done with the team had he not gotten hurt in the playoffs in '12. Reckon we'll prolly never know cuz he might be gone next year.
Next time I just hope Snyder learned from this one 'n doesn't trade the house for a marketable, flashy runner 'n gets a QB trained in a pro-style offense. One that can take an offense down the field 'n score rather'n one that thinks he is the offense 'n tries ta prove it.
Whether a hit rattled McCoy for good or not, ain't seen enough of him to guess. He's looked like a right tough player in the two I've seen but that's kinda limited.
-
I don't think that they have given the whole playbook, just keep it simple for now.
-
The Eagles put a real whooping on the Cowboys. They wore their "bad luck" dark jerseys and played poorly in all phases of the game. They have to play them again soon, and Philly will prolly beat them again. They should beat the Bears, but the game is in Chicago. Dallas is a warm weather team.
-
The Baylor-Texas Tech game has started and Baylor cannot get untracked. They should beat the Panty Raiders handle. They are playing at Jerry World in Arlington. We need to stay away from there, We are going to eat out, but we are staying in Grand Prairie.
-
Ohio State won, but lost J.T. Barret. Two QB's down, one left. :( :-\
Notre Dame is getting their butts handed to them by USC ::)
-
Awrighty.
Tech, the one in Blacksburg, finishes 6-6, I guess that's exclusive of the letters 'n the number they had but ain't got now. But they get a bowl thingy 'n get ta preempt the normal radio shows.
Tech, the one in Blacksburg, same as above, beat Virginia, or UVA, the one in Charlottesville, yestitty for The Commonwealth Cup. Tech, the one in Blacksburg, done held it now for eleven straight years 'cordin' ta Buzz 'n Billy. But, Tech, the one in Blacksburg, hadda number 'n got beat by JMU, the only JMU in Virginia, who didn't have a number, just a couple years go in the commonwealth. Even so, Tech, the one in Blacksburg, kept the Commonwealth Cup cuz they beat UVA, the one in Charlottesville.
JMU, the only JMU in Harrisonburg or in the Commonwealth of Virginia, don't have a number, ain't gettin' a bowl thingy just like they didn't get the cup. Maybe t'was because they weren't supposed ta beat Tech, the one in Blacksburg, 'cordin' to the reporters 'n they're still sore at 'em..
ODU, the only ODU, the one in Norfolk, finishes 6-6, just like Tech, the one in Blacksburg, but never hadda number, letters only 'n somebody else gotta foul up for them to get in a bowl thingy.
Think I got the championship system straight now. Sumbody is number 1 cuz the AP sez so 'n Regent University, the one in duh beach, ain't gotta foball (the way the TV personalities pronounce it, one werd, two syllables) team.
-
I was sorta hoping that Baylor or TCU would be part of the 4 team playoff format, but I don't think that will happen this year.
-
Alabama the Crimson and Houndstooth one is ranked#1 by the panel of scholars.
Here is the rankings as offered by espn for week 14
http://espn.go.com/college-football/rankings
UAB the university located in Birmingham Alabama got a bowl game. Not sure who they will match up with.
Bring on Minor League Baseball. National finals rodeo... Next
-
But, Roo dude. Ya left out stoodint afletes playin' b-ball for the love of the game while they study hard for a good education.
Squeeeeek THUMP!
HO – HEY – WEEEE from the top of the key! Whoa! Three! Hey!
Squeeeeeek THUMP!
LaWackyJuan from the paint! Hey – Whoa!
Whoa! Whoa!
DeJohn Mustuard from the line! Hey! Whoa! Nothing but net! Whoa!

How does your bracket stack up against President Obama's?
And, it'll be here thru March. Ain't it great?

I hate to see the College Football season end, That means that we have to endure almost four months of College Basketball. That makes for a long winter.
-
Brownies lost, but Johnny Football played the 4th. One 80 yard drive ending in a touchdown. Now we have a QB controversy :( :-\
-
Not really
-
Romo got hammered against the Eagles. I hope that he does better against the Bears. I think the Skins brought RGIII too soon from his injuries. He needs to be fully healed up.
-
Griffin'll be fully healed before he starts another game if Gruden gets his way about it.
-
Decision on starter to be made by Wednesday in Berea. Hometown boy maybe riding the boards on this one ::)
-
Else wheres near "Omaha!"
-
Thanks for the Cawffee this morning. Eli has been getting completetions, but to the other team.
-
The boy's been lookin' like he ain't gotta clue. Snyder'd prolly jump on the chance ta get 'im.........
-
Eli does need a change of scenery, maybe to a warmer climate.
-
Used-ta-be startin' QB for UVA's gone on waivers. School says the stoodint aflete asked for, and has received, a release from his
contract scholarship. 2-10 with him runnin' the offense last year. Got benched for this'n 'n was in 3rd string status.
Graduates in December with a degree in African American studies, and will be free to play right away at his new school. If 'is play don't get 'im in the pros he's got marketable skills from that major of his.
-
The Draft should have some high draft choices in this year's Draft.
-
Arcey I had one of thier BBall graduates worked under me in Herndon. He could barely write his name. Skills on court tweren't good enough even for european BBall. Scholastically no help either.
Paul Byrant Jr. Announced the ending of the UAB's football program. The protest have been peaceful, no racial hatred no burning the neighborhoods down. The University and community will suffer $$$ loses from it. Even with the teams Bowl elgibilty they scrapped it.
Wanna buy a used Football stadium?
-
UT-Arlington built a big fancy football stadium, and shortly after it's completion, the Football program was cancelled. They use it once a year for the Highland games. A big waste of money.
-
'I've wanted to be an LEO since I was a kid 'n I've prepared myself for it, sir.'
'I see. Your degree in music appreciation certainly shows that..........'
From time to time, ya'd get a call from someone within the city/department askin' why. The straight forward answer was the candidate was dumber than a box of hammers.
Ender, rest him, used ta tell us ODU would never see football again. Too expensive 'n no suitable facility. Some folks came in 'n figured how they could raise their station in life and pad their salaries with the program. They've got it now 'n spent a small fortune upgradin' Foreman Field. Now they want a new stadium with valet parkin', executive suites, kitchen with a caterin' staff, alcohol 'n the like.
-
Oh my.....
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=11Awmr7N1e8
-
Oh my RGIII has his exit song now- waste of money
-
I hate to see Robert's career in DC end like this. I Think he might need a change of scenery like Eli.
-
We're watching TCU vs Iowa State right now, Baylor plays tonight. I figger that OU will stomp OSU today.
-
Might turn out that Ender was at least partially right. My neighbor's kid goes to ODU and just got his Bachelor's in Electrical Engineering. Smart kid who was supposed to start in January on an accelerated Master/Doctorate scholarship program in Electrical Engineering, the professor told him Wednesday that it is not going to happen, they have pulled most of the scholarship monies for educational programs to fund football. I guess they are ready to sacrifice their academic reputation to try and build a sports one.
-
Sadly academic programs don't bring in booster money like athletics.
Slim
-
True That!
-
Sadly does the dean of a school the size of UAB need 800k plus a year?
I am not saying he/she should do it for free. Maybe the schools would have more for scholastics then.
-
See #4245, Roo.
Heard on the sports radio thing Fisher rotates captains. Today, he picked the six guys the Rams got for Griffin. Lovely......
By any means, trade Kerrigan, Murphy, Riley, Breeland, Williams, Helu, 'n Morris. Those guys deserve better than the 'skins. Pick up whatever they'll bring in used up guys with one foot out of the game 'n the other on a banana peel. Take more seats out of the stadium. Wasn't much more'n half full at kick off anyway. Cut back on manufacturin' of merchandise.
Start Griffin 'n tag 'im franchise. It doesn't matter who else plays or coaches. The constant over the years is Snyder. Can't do a thing with him.
Heartbreaker, Buck. They cut the 'skins coverage in the last minute to show the end of the Browns/Colts game. Too bad they didn't switch at half time.
-
I am not happy about Baylor and TCU being left out of the playoff. They don't have the fan base that the four teams selected. Baylor plays Michigan State in the Cotten Bowl at Jerry World. TCU plays Ole Miss in the Peach Bowl in Atlanta.
-
Johnny Football starts this week against Cinncinatti. Now we'll see if the offense perks up or not ::) :o
-
Good luck to the Browns this weekend. The Cowboys have a rematch with the Eagles, I hope that beat the Eagles. I did I say that I don't like the Eagles. I did not realize how many Bowl games that there are.
-
The Browns needed more than Luck! Someone forgot to give poor Johnny Football his Snickers bar. He really won the Heisman?
-
Our world famous Heisman winner looked like the QB of '12 for twenty minutes er so in the first. Second half he looked like Griffin 'n he was playin' the whole time behind the same line........
-
The O line didn't help him any. It was a sieve, had more holes than a good swiss. Hard to be effective when you're running for your life :o ::)
-
I think that Johnny Football needs another year of seasoning.
-
Don't know what the injury has to do with these situations. Protection 'n five open receivers. That's just one image. Think he's gotten gun shy 'n the cure for that's play him. Season's ruined anyway.
(image deleted)
He threw it away on that play.
Just my thoughts. Let him sink or swim 'n he can't do either carryin' a clipboard.
He swam. Hopin' he puts up a good game next week.
Maybe I'm wrong but I ain't thinkin' the 4th quarter interception was on Griffin. Corner was pushin' Jackson off the route with his forearm.
HTTR
-
I read yesterday that Sprint will not sponsor NASCAR after 2016. No replacement named as yet, Nationwide won't be sponsoring the NNS next year. I wish February would get here soon, there is only so much Basketball that I can stand.
-
I just found out that the Skins defeated the hated Eagles today. I have been watching Texas HS football championship game from JerryWorld. I wonder how much Jerry charges the UIL for hosting the games. Fox SW is televising it.
-
I am going to eat a double order of Crow. The Cowboys beat the Colts and captured the NFC East. I predicted another 8-8 season or worse. They really surprised this year.
-
That was ugly if yer a Colts fan. 'Skins usually don't get it handed to 'em that bad. Prolly gonna end up getting' 'em the division. The price 'Skins fan pay for watchin' 'em whup the team from philadelphia but I got my wish – one more game won o'er last season.
-
It was a long season for the Skins. Maybe Robert can get healed up in the off season and be ready for next year.
-
Could be takin' the Redskins/cowboy rivalry thing a bit too far........
http://hamptonroads.com/2014/12/man-charged-murder-chesapeake-bar-fight

You can't fix stupid!
-
TCU is putting a whooping on the Ole Miss Rebels(28-0 right now, more to come).
-
http://wavy.com/2014/12/29/man-dies-inside-chesapeake-restaurant/
Security cam video from the bar. Looked like a sucker punch.
-
Bar fights usually start that way.
-
Ain't thinkin' the call was correct despite the rationalization offered by the 'expert' talkin' heads. That said, my sympathy for the enemy is immeasurably tiny. It's simply what ya get for what ya got, specifically the no-call on a blatant pass interference foul last week against the Lions.
Congrats to our resident Cheesehead, Slim. Ta the cocky dude in Kroger wearin' the blue jersey, ball cap 'n gray sweats, hope you enjoyed the game as much as I did.
Go Pack!
-
My Boss's wife ain't gonna be happy, big Cowboys fan :o ::)
-
Seattle's defense will exploit Rogers gimpy leg. Green Bay can score points, but so can Seattle. The Colts will have test against the Pats.
-
O!-H!-I!-O! ;D
Now TLD can get back to normal around Arlington ;)
-
I try to stay away from Arlington as much as possible. I lived over there from 74 till 2003. That was enough for me. We moved to Grand Prairie in 03.
-
Had ta shake my head 'n chuckle.
Heinicke's played his last game for ODU. Wants to go pro. The boy's in the Shrine thing they did this afternoon. E'er'one's on the field with the red trimmed or blue trimmed uniform 'n their school's helmet. ODU has three or four helmet designs. One ain't got nothin' on it but a number. That's the one he used. No cheap pop for the school.
Guess he figgers he ain't a monarch no more. No need to advertizse 'em for free no more.
School's picked up three to evaluate ta replace 'im. All three pro-style trained.
-
Tampa Bay has the #1 pick in the Draft, will they take Winston or Maraota? It will be a long season for them either way. The next big question, can Dallas resign both Dez and DeMarco?
-
Far as I'm concerned they can re-sign Murray. Morris is just as good with the same team around him Murray has.
Bryant, on the other hand, would be a good grab. With Snyder's penchant for signin' names it could happen if Jones won't work a wrinkle. Moss is on the downside 'n replacin' him would be a good thing. Garçon, Jackson 'n Bryant would be a heck of a trio for whoever ends up throwin' the ball.
'Nother plus for Bryant is he can run onto the field without a helmet 'n scream at the officials without drawin' an unsportsman like conduct flag. Or is that an o'erall Jones' team thing?
-
The Packers lost a heartbreaker to Seattle. They out played them for 3 and a half quarters. Seattle did not deserve to win. The Pats are having it easy against the Colts.
-
Wonder if Slim knows yet.
-
Wonder if Slim knows yet.
Yep. :(
Slim
-
They had several opportunities to put Seattle away and didn't do it. If Seattle plays like it did against the Packers, they will get beat worse than the Pats beat the Colts.
-
All Monday mornin' quarterbackin' from me 'n I ain't much on 'what ifs' either but I can't help but wonder what would have been with a healthy Rodgers. Maybe a couple TD's rather'n FGs when they when it was close to nothin' 'n goal. Game'd been outta reach.
Either way I'm with yer call. Belichick ain't gonna ease off 'n let anyone back in the game if he gets a lead on 'em.
Gotta go with the Patriots. Right coast, left coast thing - New England's the home team. Do feel sorry for the Seahawks havin' ta play in them butt-ugly uniforms tho.
-
They won that one on a fake field goal. Might've been a different outcome if that one hadn't worked ::)
-
I want a pair of them lime green shoes that the Seahawks wear. I am taking the Pats as well.
-
The fake kick 'n the on-side kick. Damn..
New England pulls the lateral to a college QB turned pro receiver who tosses a 51 yard TD pass to a guy so wide open Ronnie Milsap coulda hit him.
Should be fun.
Help yerownself, Tex.
-
I was born with large feet, so a pair of those lime green shoes might not look so good in a size 13 or 14.
-
I just read that Wonder Wimp is retiring as a full-time driver in NASCAR at the end of the 2015 season. I am not disappointed, now if we could get rid of JJ. I guess that opens the door for Chase Elliott to enter the Hendricks stable in 2016.
-
Interesting going into Daytona.
Two years ago the big story was Patrick beginning a full time cup season. She wins the pole.
Last year we saw the return of the 3 along with the anticipated hype. Dillon wins the pole.
Most likely Gordon's quitting will be the big story prior to this year's running of the first plate race of the season. Will anyone be surprised if the 24 takes the pole? Who will be surprised if he doesn't?
The commentary on the various and sundry media should be entertaining. Of course, if the 24 takes it, it's pure coincidence - just like the previous two years. Heh, heh, heh....
-
Daytona is always interesting, new cars, new teams, and new drivers.
-
I suppose his 3rd in all time wins will be eclipsed by JJ .... and he may be to only one that can ....
Rainbow Warrior will fall way short of the King....
-
You are probably right about JJ. He will never pass Richard.
-
He's 13 short of Pearson for second 'n he hasn't won 13 in a season since '98. Pearson did it in 574 races. To date, Gordon's been in 761.
In terms of races won to races entered he's fifth after Pearson 1, Petty 2 'n pretty much a tie between Johnson 'n Yarborough for third.
Pearson won close to one in five.
-
Pearson was a smooth driver, even though he never ran a full schedule.
-
I just read where Chase Elliott will drive #25, sponsored by NAPA, in the Cup Series next year, I assume on a limited schedule.
-
Pearson had a stroke,
-
Again?
-
I will always remember David smoking cigarettes while he was driving.
-
First read about it Dec 9th. so yeah, I thought so again... "suffered a mild stroke January 2015 "
Though the article say's' nothing about again :-\
I'm questioning it now , maybe just the one 7 weeks ago ?
-
David and the Wood Brothers were a team to be reckoned with at every race they entered. The Wood Brothers revolutionized the pit stop. They even pitted a car at the Indy 500 one year.
-
Wow...
They'll be talkin' 'bout that one for awhile. 'Specially the last two minutes.
-
Yep, fate and an alert defensive player finally caught up with Seattle. Serves em right for beating the Packers.
-
I felt all along that the Pats would win. I am not a big fan of their's. I am a Broncos fan, I sure hope that Payton comes back another year. I am glad to see Gary Kubiack back at adenver. He played QB at Texas A&M, and was Elway's backup.
-
Beg ta differ with ya, cuzzin.
Mike McCarthy beat the Pack with poor play callin' in the first quarter, the Seahawks just took advantage of it. Pete Carroll beat the Seahawks yestitty with poor play callin' at the end of the game. OCs be damned, they're the head coaches 'n it's on them.
Underinflated - not deflated - footballs. Last report, one football out of spec - not eleven - subject to change as Goodell spins like the politician he is. All be damned. Patriots won a hard fought game. Good on 'em.
Feel bad for Russell Wilson. Looks to be the second comin' of Fran Tarkenton, small, elusive 'n smart. Was pullin' for New England but I enjoy watchin' him play.
All the above the dumb-ass opinion of a Redskins fan 'n that makes me a bubble or two off plumb anyway.
HTTR
-
Arcey, let's hope that they do better next year.
-
I actually stayed awake for the race last night. A lot of tore up race cars. The fab shops will be busy for awhile. The JGR cars were strong, I was glad to see Matt and Carl up front. It looks like the feud between Harvick and Lagano is continuing. Glad to see Brad was taken out early.
-
Heh, heh, heh.... Be fun ta hear what he had ta say in the hauler, off camera.
Thought it was decent myownself. Stayed up for it too. Always happy ta see JGR win. Kinda thin in that department last year. Glad ta see Truex with a good run. All the same, it was good ta see Edwards weren't willin' ta push 'im up to the 20. Can't fault Harvick for bein' pissed.
Just with two Waltrips in the booth I couldn't listen to much of it.
Gonna go check on the birds 'n hit Kroger. Be back for cluster qualifyin'.
-
Logono is long overdue for a butt whipping, and Harvick is just the Man to do it. Harvick wrestled in HS and I figger he can care of a Punk like Logano. Bad Brad got what he deserved. Truex had a good run for a single car team. I think that Edwards will be competitive in that 19 car. Kyle and Denny are going to be good as well. A lot of tore up race cars, I am glad that I''m not a fabricator.
-
Sorta found it surfing around, watched a few minutes ...but when Waltrip ' mouth'd out "Bog gity Bog gity Bog gity, "
I was off... settling on Man Vs Food ::)
may watch some of the 500 ... just to see part of Wonder Rainbow's Swan song.... betting it will be gift benefit anyway.
-
DW's mouth is his worst enemy. I will prolly watch the quals today.
-
I would like to know what idiot thought up this wacky qualification system. He needs to be gagged, put in a straight jacket, and locked up in a asylum. This crazy stupid!
-
Cluster qualifying.
Gordon wins the pole. What a surprise.....
-
Wonder Wimp and JJ are on the front row for the 500. Typical "sandbagging" by Tricky Rick and his folks!
-
Gordon wins the pole. What a surprise.....
no kidding , exactly
"... part of Wonder Rainbow's Swan song.... betting it will be gift benefit anyway. "
the next step is a no brainer....
JJ will lag back, and allow his mentor/boss and car owner to lead the first laps....
-
Knew something was awry with Patrick.
Dillon'd been runnin' fast in practice, alone. Wasn't worth a crap in the draft. Could have been.
Gordon is easier to sell but he ain't won a pole at Daytona since '07.
Gordon's name is on the paperwork for the 48. HMS gets the owners' championship thing 'n the thief gets on stage with Johnson when a trophy's presented in front of a TV camera.
-
I agree with, TLD. That qualifying setup is a big mess :o ::)
-
Someone in charge at NASCAR needs to wake up and smell the Cawffee and do away with this mess before a driver or drivers get killed.
-
guilty until proven innocent ... as nascar would have it ::)
So Busch is out . suspended indefinitely.... allegations , no trial...
He's probably done though , maybe drag race , doubt Indy but maybe ....
-
Breaking it down to facts agreed upon:
No legal relationship, they are not obligated to one another in any way. His housing. She shows uninvited. She won't leave upon verbal demands to do so.
So now I'm left to believe I may not physically eject someone refusing verbal demands to leave my property.
He's screwed. She's chuckling. The lawyers for both sides are getting richer. NASCAR's lawyers should be gearing up for the possibility the prosecutors' office declines to charge him criminally.
Prosecutors, otherwise known as politicians, decide to charge they'll overcharge to include jail time and offer a deal he's taking a big gamble not to accept, guilty or not.
Thankfully, their physical coupling didn't produce children. I feel for her kid.
I guess Eva's making plans to move back home from her penthouse down the street with him unable to make his alimony payments.
-
Domestic Violence has become very visible in the eyes of the public. Professional athletes were exempt for a long time, but the news media has brought it to the front. The lawyers will make money. Does their relationship constitute a "common-law marriage?
-
Virginia doesn't recognize common law marriages. The incident occurred in Delaware, I know nothing of their cohabitation laws.
Your comments on domestic violence I believe to be accurate. I will, however, offer this isn't a case of domestic violence. It's a case of trespass and assault.
NASCAR, the federally subsidized automobile manufacturer, SHR, et al, would have a greater degree of respect from me, and I dare say many others, if they grew a pair, pointed out the man has not been convicted of a criminal offense by a competent court of law and he will continue to participate in the series until such conviction.
-
BINGO
Some judge's statement not withstanding....nascar should show cause why they should not be sued....under the Fourteenth Amendment.
"more likely than not" strangled his girlfriend during an argument inside Busch's motorcoach at Dover International Speedway on Sept. 26, 2014 " , that according to Kent County (Del.) commissioner David Jones.
Where does he get off commenting on an un-tried case ? and nascar reaction to same ?
The above statement has to do with a restrain order , not a conviction in some civil case ...
-
I think that Kurt has wore out his welcome with NASCAR, and they were looking for an excuse to get rid of him. I think that they have gotten the cart before the horse, by suspending him before the trial.
-
Thinkin' both y'all made good points. Agreed.
Bad couple days for the Busch bunch. Fox is reportin' he can't go tomorrow. No word on who'll be in the car or when he could race again.
Wonder if Mark Martin's anywhere around.
-
Regan Smith is scheduled to drive the 41 car in the 500, I don't know if he will be interim driver.
-
The tax evader may park the car after the 500 ... tha'd please Tony I 'spect ....
They'l run Regan Smith in his stead , cause the money's been spent... like to see him win it for his own sake
not for SHR...
Just saw Kyle may have broken his leg.... looking like the only Busch in the 500 may be Danica :-\
-
I hate to hear about Kyle breaking his leg. Rehabbing a broken leg can take a long time, especially if they have to put a rod in.
-
Josh Wise DNQed. He did alright in lower tier stuff when he had good stuff. Same with Alex Bowman. Tex, guess your pick would be Hornaday he didn't make it in either.
Burton's kid tried to qualify a Toyota. So did Justin Marks. Marks has more miles on him but I think Burton's been better in equal equipment.
Of all I'd go with Wise or Hornaday.
Sweet irony with Smith in the 41. Lost his ride with Furniture Row to Busch. A win would be fantastic. I never did buy him losin' the race at Talladega to Stewart on a penalty.
-
Rumor is Matt Crafton in the 18. A career truck driver.
-
I got to meet Hornaday at Texad Motor Speedway, when he still drove the 16 truck, belonging to DEI. He came up to our private suite and had a couple of beers with us. He still had his NAPA driver's suit on.
-
I'd like to see nascar explain , how they can suspend without a conviction, a driver.
but court two felons $$$ (owners) and even plan one for the Hall of Fame, in the near future ::)
I hope Busch will sue the living S%#t out of nascar .... I hope it costs them big time....
Perhap "ol" Gene will put Kurt in F1 ::) or he goes to Indy and wins :-\
-
I am afraid that the lawyers are the ones to get rich on this deal. Did I ever say that I hated Lawyers? Well I Do!
-
I do too ...ambulance chasers the worst of the lot...
Tickled to see Sliced Bread win .... He raced his heart out, and the caution just seal the deal....
Glad to see the Captain get another 500....
-
I think that Logano has found a home with Penske. They are building him and Brad some consistently fast cars, week end and week out. I was hoping that JGR would do better, but it is a long season.
-
Right place at the right time. Good on 'im.
The G/W/C and Challenger's flight saved the thing.
-
JGR may be looking hind sight , course Kenseth did right well once he got the 20 in "13" ...
The Kid has really shown at Penske, if you counted points rather the 2014 chase format , he was the Champ (even after being fined points). nascar manipulation ::)
They'll (nascar) will do their thing to help out going poster boy, gave him the bone in 2013 & he got eliminated in 2014...
I fully expect he'll have the way cleared for his last try.
He's already in the Charlotte ALL Star with the Daytona Poll, 'spect to see him do those beyond "15"
-
It's been cold in the Atlanta area the last few days, things should be interesting.
-
Last I read he said it'd be too difficult ta be competitive doin' one-offs 'n too much of a distraction for the other teams at the thief's shops so it'd be unlikely runnin' anything.
One the media dudes said he'd bet on the race in Indiana but nothin' else. NASCAR may want that. Races are borin' there 'n attendance has been dwindlin'. TV numbers are decent but the empty stands sneakin' inta the picture looks bad ta sponsors.
-
I am hoping that JGR will be more competitive as the season goes on. RFR is way behind in both series. Penske is the leader among the Ford teams. Tricky Rick's boys are on the edge.
-
http://news.yahoo.com/prosecutors-no-charges-nascar-driver-kurt-busch-153007126--spt.html
jack asscar will eat crow now... no charges , he should sue the *iss out of them
-
It looks like NASCAR may have to eat a large crow. The Vegetable Beef soup is smelling good. Moose is making cornbread to go with the soup. I hope everything goes well in getting to the airport in the morning.
-
Hearin' he still has to jump thru all NASCAR's hoops ta get hisownself back in the car.
Best of luck ta ya, Tex. Have a good trip if ya can get there.
-
I'll be on one of those Regional jets from D/FW to Springfield. The Hotel has a shuttle to and from the airport, that way I won't need a rental car. I don't plan on leaving the hotel till Sunday, when I head back home.
-
ASSCAR has reinstated Kurt Busch and is eligible for Chase...
They had jumped the gun, a had to save face ,
they judged Busch Guilty until proven otherwise...
An opinion by a Family Court official is not a Guilty conviction....
Criminally LEO's & Prosecutors had insufficient evidence to even charge, let along go to trial or get a conviction....
I hope he get his win(s) and takes the Chase trophy home for the Tax dodger...
not a fan , but by God I gonna root for him ....
and in your face asscar !
-
I'd be good with that.
-
Harvick looks good to repeat as Champ, Logano looks strong too. I hope that JGR can gain some power.
-
Net's all a buzz, trash-car officials through the bogus yellow debris , deprive the win to Kenseth or Busch
Poster Champ Harvick would have extended his streak .... Bad Brad spoiled that plan .
Hope Busch will get his win... and be in ....
-
Kurt is on a mission to prove to NASCAR that he belongs and to win his second Championship.
-
The NASCAR teams make their Spring visit to Texas Motor Speedway this weekend. Stay away from Fort Worth!
-
Kurt gets another V.... yeah it rain shortened V , but still a Chase locking V
Course NASCAR may still manipulate....
Truex is also on a Tare
-
The Cawffee and hot water are ready for drinking. The rain has not started yet, heavy rain in the forecast all week.
-

Yep...I went into work this morning, and hardly anyone was there. Didn't get the e-mail about essential (operations and maintenance only) personnel until Wednesday. It may go an extra day, as it is slow coming inland.

I'll hope for Truex just cause , or Kyle .... but it will be "IF" the script is written the rainbow warrior's grand send off....

Didn't watch ...but did check the results
Pleased with the comeback Kyle made ...particularly sticking it to Havoc
Figured Truex was only 4th best ...he should be applauded, fine effort.
Rainbow Warrior , is Golden now, and shuffle off to the rocking chair with his best shot

I'm ok with the beer drinking and the racing. The whole football thing can scratch my butt. Un American buffoonery.

Friday we heard through Facebook from his daughter that Arcey has passed. RIP sweet friend. Forever in our hearts.

In memory of Arcey,...

I wanted to comment...
today's Chicago's inaugural NASCAR street race, was the best NASCAR race in years.
Left and right turns on a wet, tight city streets and a New Zealander Ausie Super Car Driver took them to SCHOOL !
The stuff Hollywood could make up.
