chase down the winner

well....it's down to the chase...a couple of surprises, mostly the same old characters...have to kinda snicker that juuuunyer was shut out again...but am interested to see how he'll flourish under new boss rick hendrick...i don't wish him ill...you can't pick your parents-lol! i would like for a dark horse, jeff burton to win...have always liked him...also wouldn't mind seeing tony win a 3rd, in fact the only ones i DON'T want to win are the trees from vegas and "happy"....and now shrub will be in our car, which will be the new rolling snickers bar...also, the dreaded UNITE labor union is blasting cintas in relation to the kentucky speedway lawsuit...apparently, one of our ceo's is a shareholder in the speedway...from all that i've heard, nascar specifically told them, that they would never get a cup race-they can have busch, trucks, arca, etc but they were too near chicago and others to constitute a cup race...and UNITE is wanting people to sign a petition to have nascar change uniform companies...these labor unions are getting so frantic for funds, that they're grasping at straws..sad, sad, sad....you can check it out at www.notonmytrack.org...i'm done for now....

happy father's day

although this is a couple of weeks old, how great is this pic? this was kyle's third place finish at the coca-cola 600 on memorial day weekend...hate to see him out of the car but chad did a "phenomenal" job last week in dover...just wonder how well he would've finished had they gotten the whole race in...this week is john andretti...mmmm...let's just hope the points don't slip! stayed tuned......

finally!

silly computer has been jacked up...thanx to scott for fixing most of it...i've just now been able to log onto my blogspot...so...i'm back! now if i can just get my outlook fixed....

well, that was exciting...

except for the troubles of pe, tony and jp montoya-it was another "texas" finish...really wanted the 13th different winner-and jeffy would've been fine-but i'm happy w/the results...was sitting in pretty much most of "jr nation" and was the only one clapping when shrub butted him...didn't find out about jr jumping into the bush-lol-til we were on the road out...and it was another 5 minute exit-thank you very much!! that was a cool thing for jr to do...i'm getting where i kinda like the kid-just from a "hanging out with" perspective-it's just that the majority of his fans (and his daddy's) are obnoxious and that's what puts me off of him more than anything else...he's not as much of a bully as his dad was but, i digress...heard on kyle's scanner after they had fixed the spindle by billy wilburn (his crew chief) "man, this SUCKS! you're running top 10 speeds...this SUCKS!!!!" and kyle agreed w/him...bobby's problem was the perverbial "hot dog wrapper" that shot his water temp up...had to make a pit stop to take it off and i think that's when mike bliss went sliding down the backstretch in front of us-i even heard his tire blow-through the ear mufflers and radio..and bobby was never able to make up the laps he lost...dang it!! used birthday money and got some earrings, 2 shirts and a license plate holder...got a bunch of freebies...and nascar day pins...and i thought this was really cool...walking the mall-went by the 55 trailer and there was a big crowd...in spite of everything, there was mikey, signing autographs and being very gracious...glad he was okay after that nasty wreck he had...if you want to see the pix, see the link below...you just can't help but feel bad for him...just watched qualifying for saturday's race and he didn't make it again...poor mikey!!! anyway...got real sunburned-even with a cap on! but i'll be okay...ttyl

p.s...this is the image i want to use as my avatar but can't get it to take...what am i doing wrong?

c.o.t.

well, this weekend is the first weekend for the c.(car) o. (of) t. (tomorrow)...since the pettys were the first team(s) to work w/dodge at the inspiritaion of this concept, we all have HIGH hopes for sunday! i don't if it will show up in qualifying but hopefully, it will in traffic! robbie loomis is very optimistic about the weekend! and when the higher ups are excited, it can't help but bring the rest of the crew up...

so, good luck kyle and bobby!

not happy w/harvick!

well...what a race...kyle blows a tire, and bobby's lost 2nd gear...but did manage to avoid-barely-all the mishaps...i've listened to nascar's view on why a caution wasn't thrown and i'm not buying it...it was said on "morning drive" on sirius (which btw-if the fcc approves, sirius is taking over xm...), they (nascar) was waiting to see if shrub could "get his car straightened out"..what a load! boris said went spinning OFF the track and they threw a caution! mark was anticipating the caution and had lost his drafting partner (shrub) and was beat by "happy"...being the gentleman that mark is, he thought there would be a flag but is content to take second...it's possible that if the flag had been flown, happy would've been ahead at the last "loop" and that's okay...it just would've been nice to have that telementry...oh well...there were some funny commercials...the mad max/jr one and the oreo's...anybody else have any favorites? and what is your take on the finish? sorry the pic is so dark..it was taken at the november race at tms...

thanx scott...testing picture downloading...then i'll respond to the ripoff of mark martin...
