Hey TX! Thanks for the ping!

[tubebender]

Not a bad thread considering the 4 most astute posters were in the stuck in traffic on the way to the track...

[steveegg]

Sorry about that; was dead tired.

[WestCoastGal]

I was scraping ice off my car windows.

NASCAR PETS ON ANIMAL PLANET NEXT.

[steveegg]

From Jayski -

• Kenny Wallace filled in for brother Mike in the #09 Dodge in Happy Hour after Mike was diagnosed with post concussion syndrome from an accident in the Truck race. Mike has been cleared to run the Daytona 500.
• The Dallas Morning News is reporting that NASCAR is considering bumping up the points for winning a race again.
• Richard Childress now agrees with Theresa Earnhardt that the #3 should be retired.
• Despite a rule that after so many races (I don't recall off-hand how many races it is) in a higher series, NASCAR has approved John Andretti's request to run for Busch rookie of the year.

[glock rocks]

Richard Childress now agrees with Theresa Earnhardt that the #3 should be retired.

Daytona is here!!!

I will do the ping in a few hours and start the caution pool with that. Norm?

[AGreatPer]

Putting the chili in the crock pot now. 5 hours should just be perfect timing. Side of garlic mashed potatoes.

[Toby06]

NASCAR didn't retire Kulwicki's #7, or Davey's #28, and a bunch of others i don't remember offhand. I don't agree with retiring the #3.

NASCAR didn't retire Kulwicki's #7, or Davey's #28, and a bunch of others i don't remember offhand. I don't agree with retiring the #3.

Not only that, look who assumed the #7 right after Kulwicki died (the Bovines) and who has it now (Crash Gordon).

[steveegg]

Hey, don't look at me. I got my black-and-yellow prediction in yesterday.
