| A few of us have found our way to a conversation or two about our love of NASCAR and this seems to be the only fitting spot to gather a group of us to talk about it. If you are on board, ...Start a thread and add on to mine, we will have a blast. Give me a shout out if you are into it and pass the word around DG please. Greg and Dawn |

| pepper, Ditto we just need to pass the word, if you visit other forums throw it in, where we are talking NASCAR, maybe we will get a group of people or several groups to do a fantasy league on NASCAR.com for next season. If we start now, maybe we will have a lot of interest in this and more people on the car and trucl forum, because my huband is really wanting to talk, bikes, cars, trucks and NASCAR and he will be using my DG name. I think other people need to know on more traveled sites ha? |

| Oh my gosh!! Did someone say NASCAR!! I have died and gone to HEAVEN! Think I may be a fan?? LOL! You betcha! Just a few short years ago, for the life of me, I could NOT understand what was so great about some guys driving cars and making ONLY left turns...at speeds KNOWN to cause serious bodily injury or even death! All it took was for my hubby to convince to me that we needed to go see a NASCAR race live! I have been hooked ever since! This years race for the Cup has me on pins and needles! JUST when I thought for sure Kasey Kahne was in..he slides..Mark Martin...please make it Mark! Ya gotta do it for us oldies everywhere! Tony..nice of ya to ease up on the "whine" and Jr..Your Daddy must be grinnin like all git out watchin you go!...Oh..and by the way..My hubby is the SPITTING image of Dale, Sr. Before our horrific loss of Senior, we were stopped sooooo many times by folks wanting his autograph..or to ask him a question bout the race...And since Senior has been gone, the double takes STILL happen..It's almost like the "I thought Elvis died" thing!
We have even gotten into the local dirt track and the local speedway..NOT that drag stuff..I am talkin RACIN BOYS!! GENTLEMEN...START YER ENGINES!!!..boogity-boogity-boogity!!!! |

| Turbo your my kind of fan. Well, my real driver is out as of Bristol( #26, formerly#42). I hope he turns it around next season. YOU guys NO LAUGHING PLEASE! I hope Mark gets back in and wins it, Though it looks like he may have one more year to try otherwise. Pepper you can`t laugh @ Jamie Mcmurray becuase it`s unlawful in your state not to support drivers from your state. I watch bullriding once in a while to. I had a patient once that was a bull rider and he was young and TOW UP.(tore up). We just booked an awsome race Package it is from CEI Sports Tours, out of Vegas, They have a package for 999.00 per person and it includes air, shuttles, hotel accom.(@ a new hotel that I think it`s one of the Brendan Gaughn`s dads casinos, race tickets for all the races in seats where we can see the whole track, pit passes and a special first time ever thing done at any track, it`s a viewing area from some kind of plexiglass overhang above the garages and staging areas where the drivers are before they suit up and the cars are getting ready to enter the pit area. I guess they have some casino stuff going on too like a slot tournament and I think a mixer or something. If you ever want a sports package this company has great ones and they can make a package for any NASCAR Track that they don`t already have a huge trip planned for. check it out . I hope you guys will go on other threads and sites here and tell more people so we can all talk about Nascar stuff. It will draw more people to this forum to talk about cars, trucks and motor vehicles of all types because this site sure needs some more interaction. turbo upload a pix of your clone man, if you can. |

| OMG nascar fans-not me!
I have walls and shelves FULL of nascar stuff, mostly dale sr and in the last yrs dale jr has started to fill up the rooms. I have a autographed dale jr hood that i cherish along with a picture my son got me of dale and dale jr(thinkk its done in chalk)
My dh(also named dale and looks like dale sr)got to go to bristol this spring and he was so excited-they(8people) drove a old camper that the was so bad they had to keep putting the windows up cuz they would shake down. It snowed at bristol and some of them didnt want to go to the busch race-My dale was ready to walk from Gatlinburg to bristol!!! lol He got the guys moving and 3 of them went. Someday we plan to go to Bristol under the lights-Together! We went to the Michigan race together once and I got to see all 3 earnhardts race that day-Jr had the Poll and Kerry hit the wall and I got to watch Sr talking to both of em. Jrs pit was straight in front of me-it was awesome!
anyway...Big fan here can tell you who i love like and Hate in nascar!!!!!
this is bristol in the spring during a RED flag! :)

| Love it what a great picture. If you went to Michigan ,don`t bother with California, it is idental and pretty boring as tracks go. That company, had the same 999 deal for the Bristol last week too, We will definatly do Bristol and or Talledega some year. In 2 years it is the 50th Anniversary of the Daytona 500, it would be fun if a bunch of us went on the same tour there. What kind of luck did you have with the nacar talk on DG? I have brought it up before on other threads with not much feed back, each time I generally got a personal Dmail as not to get off subject on someones thread. It`s hard to squeeze it in in the middle of someones prayer request- though I have. lol. I have been sending dmails to people from NC figuring maybe they are into it to tell them about this site. We need to find people near tracks on Dg `s " EXTRAS" like people fromSonoma or Vegas,chacago etc. ha? WE had a Direct tv. installer see our nascar stuff and say he lived in NC for a few years and bought a Dale Sr. hood from the nascar store for like 3000 $$ and his wife was mad until he died and someone almost immediatly offered him 35 k for it and they put a down payment on a house. If he waited he could have bought a house. We saw Kevin Harvick at this little track that he started on called Mesa Marin in Bakersfield, they were closing the track and he wanted to surprise the owners and flew in from the sonoma race on a Thursday to do a Winston West race, I think it was... he spoke and all and it changed our opinion of him. Are any of you on a fantasy league? We have been for 3 years. We have Kyle B, Biffle,Edwards and My Jamie. My DH use to like Jr. but we started getting mad when he was cussing out Tony His cousin and the rest of his crew several times during the season and then he curssed himself it would seem for a while. Maybe Dh will wear his jacket again, meanwhile he says He is despirate to find a new driver to obsess about. He`s looking at Jeff Burton or Harvick, he use to be a big fan of 24 when he first started but just doesn`t get all fired up about him anymore. I`m like that with Jimmy Johnson. |

| Hey, hellnzn11 told me about this forum - whoo-hoo! I have not seen a live race yet, but when I do, it will be Charlotte. We took a tour of the track, and an "older" (about my age) lady who weighed about 90 pounds soaking wet, took us, in an old full-size Dodge van out on the track at "top speed", all of 65 mph. We were sure that ol' top-heavy thing was going to roll down off one of those banked turns! Her comment was, "That's my favorite part of the tour - I have more miles on this track than most of the drivers!". Later we went up in the stands, and watched the thing go around again, and were even more convinced that someday, it would happen. Still love Harry Gant, who was over 50, and still racing, and Bill Elliot, and Mark Martin (yeah, the oldies), but have been watching Matt Kenseth, and Kevin Harvick since they started on the Busch circuit. Really like Terry Labonte, classy guy. Get a kick out of Dale, Jr., and think that Carl Edwards looks like "Opie" (anybody remember who Opie was?). We're into the time of year now, when Sunday afternoons are spent switching back and forth between the race and NFL football (especially if the Steelers or the Panthers are playing. Looking forward to the postings on this thread.

| We were there , we got back @ 1200. We were so excited that we didn`t go to sleep until 1:30. That was the most awsome burn out he did at the end, he was drifting. It was one of the best races ever @ that track. Usually it is a very boring track, too many lines to run and at the same time they can run 3 wide and 4 wide w/out a big incident. There was so many lead changes and passes and the pit strategies and fuel strategies. Awsome. I can`t wait till tonight. I hope it carries over. This is our first Cal.cup we won`t see live in several years so we spontaneously decided to go to the B- race a week ago. We sat in the good seats in the upper stands, under the grandstands shade, the parking was easy coming in and going and it was a real night race. whooo. weeee. Man we have to do that some more. The last time we went to the B race there, it was the last Memorial weekend race and we bought 3 days of racing and it was just too hot and too much all day in the sun,afternoon races in the sun out here suck because you know your going to be there all day anyway. |

I thought the cup race was a little typically boring but the Busch race made up for it and the same guys were fighting up front for the same positions. I can`t wait to see next week at Richmond. Nanubunny Did you see your guys? Bill Elliot and Terry Labonte? Oh Ya I remember Opie, he`s a bald guy now that makes great movies and lets his homely brother do a camio in each one. |

| Martha I was so happy for Jr. too, My DH can wear his jacket again. My Jamie didn`t make it but I have my back ups. Kevin is one because he comes from Bakersfield and that is only 40 minutes from here. We saw him at the track he started at last year and liked him since. I think all the guys that are in deserved it. I felt bad for Tony yet he was driving real evil this year again so maybe he needed to be put in check. I don`t like Kenseth much. Kyle is on our fantasy league team, Biffle too,Is he in? I am extatic for Mark Martin especially. Kasey reallydeserved it too. Turbo, didn`t I see you in the commercial with Casey backing into that giant sign? lol Boogity ps.Billy we`l get you back in no time. |

I am just so excited about who all made it this year..I have never been a Stewart fan, but I tell ya..I gotta give him props for his gracious attitude at the end of this past race. I think..It may be just "eating crow" or he may have finally realized how his snarliness and at times, incessant whining.. came across to some fans. Either way, it was a nice change. Yall readin where Mark may not retire? I like ole Mark..like the commercial he and Carl do..funny...Also, what is everyone's opinion on how the points change for next year? What I mean is, if it were you in charge of it, what would you do differently next year? |

Its time for mark to give it up, along with a few other oldies I think. Mark is trying hard to go out on top, but i dont think he will win the cup-I pray he doesnt(sorry)
I have been ab earnhardt fan as long as i could breathe and so glad to have JR racing and hope that the tradition will live on 4ever

He was talking about going on a cruise or Hawii with some inheritance money that he got and I was ,No we have to go Nascar Package, Because we know we will have a blast, no denying it. So thats how we ended up booking the trip to the Vegas race. I need to tell you guys something important...Tomorrow on Regis and Kelly all the top 10 drivers are going to be on. They seem to do it every year so bust out your Tivos or watch it tomorrow morning ok? I am so happy that we have succeeded in keeping this going, Hope we get more people on, like Kcheckal, who`s idea this was and has been ill and having to go through some stuff so she hasn`t been on yet this thread yet.

| It has been pretty quiet on this thread lately. That is the one thing that I hate about the chase. Once it is decided who the top10 are, then you never hear or see another thing, not even during the race, from any of the other drivers, unless they are in first. They still won`t talk much about them either so if you love other drivers out of the top10, your hosed. Has anyone heard about the new changes to the chase yet? Last night there was some big story on the news or some Charles Goodson thing about Nascar and hollywood, how it is going to be even bigger because of some new thing they are doing to involve hollywood. Maybe another movie, who knows, I am going to find the story on line. Now you need back up chasers to like. |

It was hysterical to us. not boring, it broke up the monotony of a usual ending. I wouldn`t like it often but it was funny. Don`t you think?

| ya baby. my whole fantasy leage team took a dump so i got mad and stopped watching it, i just had it on in the background while on dg. i know the knees seem to be a repetative prob. i am not big on othriscopic surg. because this seems to be the rule rather than exception. i have a torn labrum and bilateral rotator cuff tears. the surg yesterday was cubital, carpel t ans two trigger fing. also bilateral except the fing. knees too but don`t want othriscop. because i worked in a pt. place for so many years.

| Retired, but yep..nursed for years..just got burnt out..I preferred geriatrics and I truly cared for my patients..It just got harder and harder losing them after them being in my life for so long..and on top of that with all the new JCAH rules and Medicare nonsense..I felt like a pencil pusher instead of a patient care provider..
The knee totally bites! Bad thing is..Had surgery years ago on my right one..It's my left one that is buggin...SO due to favoring the left one..the right one now wants to let me know it is not 100 percent anymore..
Ya know..I am not old..by far..Actually, I am not sure what age is classified as old..but at any rate..I did NOT get the memo on all this stuff that happens after the age of 40...45??? lol!
Hope you are feeling better, Dawn!

| OK,, we are buying tickets to the Busch racefor Feb. tomorrow.for CAL speedway. We have 7 of us going so far. We always go to the cup except this last race and had so much more fun @ the Busch because @ Cal. they all race in Busch(cuppers), the purse is huge,their is no traffic nightmare, parking is easier and it is cheaper and you can seat yourself in the best seats anywhere, if you buy general seating and go early enough. you may have to move once or twice but usually a seat over. Then two weeks later we have our Vegas vacation package. so that will be a fun month. Any one want to go. You can buy general seating tickets for sat. busch for $40 + their fees and we could meet there. Tailgate or whatever.? |

It has finally cooled off a littled down here weather wise..Thank God! Yesterday, at 6pm our heat index was 103 with 100 percent humidity! It was getting unbearable..Then..this morning..woke up..to a nice 62!!! It has been wonderful as far as that goes..just sorta messes with my ole bones!! But I will take it!

| Wow, I thought it got bad here, atleast it feels like fall. What big city are you near so if we move we won`t go there.? My girl friend and I were just talking about how we won`t move somewherewith excessive humidity because it is not bareable and our arthritic bones( we think) can`t do it. WE are both loosely talking with our DH`s about a future move and listening to people here who have a cheap cost of living, lower humidity and not long excessive winters and pretty? Does it exhist? I was hoping you were not mad @ me detailing our cobra, because I don`t brag on much of anything but a good sale item and I hoped it didn`t seem that way. We got it so cheap that I don`t feel too bad to talk it up a little. My friend sold it to us for 8k, mostly as it was stated inclding a door dent on the seam so it is next to impossible to get out. |

| Hey gal! No way am I upset over your Cobra! YOU should be aggravated with me..I AM going to put ya some comments..I think the word is "trick"? I told my DH I thought that it meant "bad" as in "bad to the bone"! I normally put all the extras Aaron has on his, but I was only on for a minute or two...and again, I have been blowin and goin..I am so tired! I was soooo hoping we would get some rain this eve. so I wouldnt have to water my yard and garden..Oh well..Yesterday took grandson to the park..A neighbor boy went with us, thank God, because my knees, back, hip...shoot..my whole body..wont let me climb and play like that! We had friends from up in East Texas (the DH is on a job down here)over for supper..Grilled steaks and had all the trimmings. Today, went with a friend and we took our grandsons to a Fire, EMS, and Coast Guard show thing. The boys loved it..
As for city..I am about 20 minutes from Corpus Christi. It was in the list for one of America's prettiest cities.The Lobo Name thing for it is, Sparkling City by the Sea..It IS nice..Just costs more to live there..cheaper here in Ingleside..I go to CC fairly regularly..and CC is so easy to get around in.
I wasnt real thrilled with Kaseys qualifier! I know he can do better..However, 2005 season, he started at Martinsville at 35th and still came in 2nd..So we shall see! I just love that boy! LOL! |

I am about the racing, much as many folks are about the Dallas Cowboys. TRUE Cowboys fans hang in there no matter what..win..lose..terrible staff changes..We just keep on keepin on. I will watch the races til it's all said and done..but all of my heart just wont be in it. Next year has GOT to be better!!
So..that said..How yall doin?: What's the latest in yall's lives?? I just wish it would cool off down here...cool off and STAY cool. I think we are gonna be at 90 or the low 90s tomorrow...*sigh* I miss having FOUR ACTUAL seasons..Seems down here we get warm, warmer, hot, hottest! |

| 1970? Well you cowboys fan, Mario or Emmit? lol please tell me that you get it? We have be dealing with heat too, oddly but our night temps go way down and every couple of weeks the temps get fallishly cool for a few days, the leaves are falling. Ours usually all fall off on Thanksgiving day, so after you can rake rather than as they fall , it gets redundant. We are having a 3 sided metal 24x21 carport today and our friend brought us 25 yards of dg and we ordered crushed pea gravel for the top of the drive, so work going on here, oh ya also we ordered a 40 ft. cargo container for a secured and nice storage, so we can organize and unclutter. My garden plans keep geting changed so that still sits on the back burner , which sucks but we need to put in the hard scape stuff first. We also have a problem , 2 years ago when we had a the record breaking rain, our property flooded and my triple wide mobile home started to sink on one side due to caliche soil and 3 months of water under the house, supposedly the only thing holding us up is earthquake bracing, so they may have to tear up and seperate my house so that could really screw up plans for the yard if they have to move the house over my garden and law. So Neeext. who`s on deck for an update? Nice camaro by the way. Do you have a body shop or is this a fun hobby? |

| Thanks yall, so much for your kind words and prayers. Our Kali has RSV, pneumonitis, and has been diagnosed with acute asthma! She is doing much better. Her oxygen intake level, yesterday was still running at around 70 percent while she was sleeping, if taken off the oxygen. With the nebulizer treatments, it has improved vastly today to 90 percent. Once she reaches 95 or better and stays there for 24 hours, she gets to go home...She is just so little. I tell ya, when it's my own, all my years of nursing go right out the window!! Her Daddy, my boy, Jamie, was a severe asthmatic. He was also all boy..played all sports, hunted, fished..all that..Thank God, as it does in a lot of folks, once he hit puberty, it subsided a great deal. He occasionally still has to use inhalers..but for the most part, has no problems. I just hate it for our Kali. But medical breakthroughs occur all the time..So maybe one will happen for the problems she is having..Again..thanks so much..Hope to catch up with everyone soon! |

There is a huge network of Dr.s(off subject) that say there is a preservative in immunizations that they are sure causes autism, so if it is something you are concerned about, check with your pediatrician because you can get the shots without it. On the lines of baby health. Where is Moose w SK? SK is where?Canada? We wanted to go to but my DH had to be at his job Monday so it would have been a 7 hour drive.

turbosbabe96 I'm so happy your Kali is doing better now! One of my co-workers had quite a scare this past week, they thought her DGD had cystic fibrosis. The initial test came up positive and they were sick...a week later the Specialist's test came back negative. They said she had a bad lung infection (medication has since got it under control) but she is still throwing up a lot so now they will have to do further tests to find out why.

I got a call or rather 5 that I did not get until the morning from my daughter , saying my 17 yr. old son was in the hospital from alcohol poisoning. Big, horiible mess. I feel like I have a cloud over me and my joy is stripped. I am not even looking forward to the Thanksgiving week. though he didn`t die so i guessI do have a big thing to be thankful about. |

| Hi guys it`s that time again. I am wondering if any of you would want to sign up for a fantasy league game with me? It is on nascar.com. It makes the season real fun because even if your driver is not doing well, the team you have on the fantasy game, may be doing great. It goes something like this. there are 6 teams, each team will have 4 drivers, one is on the bench each week, you pick. after the last team signs up for the team, a draft starts over the next 12 or 24 hours? You are given a make believe $100 and you have to bid on the drivers you want with the money, it is so fun, you can not bid all your money on one driver, you need to have atleast $3 to bid on other drivers, in the end, if you do not have 4 drivers, the nascar game will asign you drivers according to who is next best in points from 06. You can get different ones if you like off the available driver list. The game tallys the score on Mondays and posts it for you. Each week your team plays against 1 of the other teams and then it rotates to the next, the following week. If you are interested please let me know or send a dmail if you have more questions about it. Dawn |

| I am surprised that it would start right out of the gate with Toyota, Mikey. They all do things at times and get away with it so i think they keep trying to play the odds. I`ve got one other person and one who says she is going to sign up for our Ultimate fantasy league, There are 3 signed up now and one more dger who says she can`t figure out to sign up but wanted to, but we still have a few spots. Have you ever played? It is on Nascar .com, it is free too. We have a league started but it would be fun if we could get it all up and running by this weekends D 500. Nice to meet you. Hope to hear from you soon. Dawn |

Waiting to see if we will ced our credit card refund on the vegas package. It was a good track but without a scanner or program, bush was hard to follow the drivers. If we go again, we will go to the cup race and sit up as high as we can afford to. Your DH is jealous of them? lol |

I know what you mean about not being as excited because i feel that way for two years about my Jamie.

We had a blast there and great seats, good mates nearby, great hotel suite(cheap) and i got invited to a plant swap, which I couldn`t go to but i did talk on the phone with my dg friend there Marie Ortiz.
I am supposed to be having breast reduction surg on Wed. but since i am sick we will see if I do.

If you saw the cartoon cars, it is on a familiar part of route 66, near here, near I-40 near laughlin needles. There are very few bikers here that fly colors(gangs) compared to those that do not and most ride Harleys, though it for me is a status thing more than anything because I like a lot of other bikes too. |

| I would love to see Mark win so the poor guy can finally retire, he said like 3 years ago, that his poor wife and son were wanting more of his time, which he promised to deliver and that was ever so short lived.
Great to meet a NASCAR Fan here, I have met several fans here but they don't post here, they just talk to me on other threads or dmails.
Jeff Gordon cracks me up when he sits in for Regis on Regis and Kelly. I like him too, but his voice sounds like he needs his adnoids out, he has the most nasal voice, like a nerd. Thank the good Lord he is a race car driver and is cute. His little Ella is so adorable too.
I really love, love, love Jamie Mac, but I also like Kevin H, since he is from our area, about 45 min. from here and we saw him once come to surprise the owner of the local Bakersfield race track where he got started, before they closed the track, to surprise the owners, and we happened to be there, it was so cool he was racing late models and just tearing up his car to no end, not doing well but just being all out crazy. It was great. I used to like Carl a lot too, but I am not so sure now, because I don't think he supported Jamie well as a team mate. I can't stand the Cat In The Hat, he is a jerk, who breeds teams with no connection to each other and it shows. I like Biffle though on his team.
I like Casey khane, but don't go crazy for anybody but Jamie. Don't like Jr, Don't like Jimmy, do love Jeff. Do you go to Indianapolis? We only have gone to Vegas, California many times, and Phoenix about 3 times. I want to go to more though.
Welcome, nobody talks on here, so if you know NASCAR fans you must tell them to come here, if we got 6 people we could do a free Fantasy Leage on NASCAR.COM.

Jeff does have an annoying voice...a little whinny! He went to Triwest High School which is about 25 from where I live now. I once worked for a woman who's son was friends with him. She always said if she had known he was going to become famous she would have had him autographing stuff whenever he came over!!

| I would love to go to both of those tracks and will someday, Lord willing. I especially would like to because Jamie does well at those tracks.
I think Dale has a drinking problem sometimes. I used to hate Kevin too until I heard him so emotionally heart felt, thanking the old couple who gave him his start and doing it as a last minute surprise for them while he was racing at Infinion, he just popped over on a helicopter one night and said, "Hey I am coming home to race tonight to say good bye to you guys and the track".
Jeff sounds like he needs his adenoids out. At least everyone does not say he is gay anymore. That would make me so mad when people said that.
We kind of are that way too, with the California track, it is much better to be here in the comfort of home and crank it up, when it is time to crank it up. I miss the track smell and the sounds though.
Now that Hubby quit drinking, tailgating is no fun anymore. |

| Amen to Kurt and Kyle having bad days at their home track. I didn't like Vegas even with all the fan areas, which are absolutely fantastic, the high seats are $500 and up and it is so short, I get motion sick watching them low and close, go around and around. Plus it is so hot there, even in this time of year. Track temperatures and all the parking lot and cement areas make it magnify the heat.
Man I am not going to be happy if this season goes that way. I knew Jamie would have problems there, he sucks on short tracks. I did not even get excited when he went from 24th to 9th, since I had a feeling that he would have some problem with his car tight.
Don't you get bummed sometimes being the big die hard fan of JR? It is exhausting watching him not do well, like Jamie. I can't help but wish he would just suddenly be like his dad. |

| I missed most of the race...we were flipping back & forth between it & the hockey game then I had to go finish the ironing...YUCK!!!!
Anyway...I sure wish someone else would have won besides Jimmy J. if he wins another championship I will just cry.
Jamie's day will come. He is a good driver!
It does help when the Busch brothers have a bad day!  |

| "Contacted someone that is here that likes NASCAR too. Will see if he wants to join in here!"
That someone would be me, thanks Nanny! I've been a fan for years and a Jeff Gordon fan since his open wheel days. I like all the drivers except Jimmie Johnson. *sticks another pin in his JJ voodoo doll* I still follow the sport, I just don't watch it on TV like I used to. Na$car has done a super job of running what was once a great sport into the ground. I was hoping Jeff would win it today, but it was not to be. :( *holds his JJ voodoo doll in the toilet while flushing it* On to Atlanta...

That Brad Keselowski needs to reel it in a bit...he was down right dangerous last season!
Hey maybe we should start a new thread since it is 2010 now and we are only 3 races in to the season. This could be a bit slow for dial up users @ a 180+ posts. What do ya think?
hellnzn11, would you like to do that? |

| I always loved Jamie Mac since the first week when he raced for Sterling Marlin, but man it has been a tough road and after last year to this one. I crashed and burned in my ability to enjoy the race so much. I am so frustrated. I talk to him on FB sometimes and we always seem to misunderstand each other's humor, so that makes me less enamored and more frustrated with my idol.
Your driver is great and we so wanted him to win last year, but we are tired of hearing how he is going to retire and then he does not. It is so crazy. If he does not retire this time, he may be like the Brett Favre of Nascar. I feel bad for you if he does because having lost your driver takes some of the flavor out of it and the wind in your sails.
We have tickets to Phoenix but we may have to sell them if my job does not give me the Monday off. Interested, we love our seats. It is between turn 1 and 2 and we can see down pit row and the start finish. |

| Yep..Any of you in the mood to start a fantasy league or join one if I start it? I have not had as much fun since we stopped doing it. I don't like the general league anymore since you can't bid on the drivers like you can in your own league. We have some friends that would probably join if I get a few here.
Dori? Pepper? anyone in? |

| We just bought a vacation place so we put our Phoenix tickets for sale on Craigslist and just sold them. I will be sad but honestly we are house poor and we would have dreaded the money for gas, food, hotel and all that is not yet paid for, so we took a little loss but better than the alternative and now we can chill in our new house for all those days and watch the race.
I will die if cheater Jimmie wins again.
