What is it with the lack of confidence in Jr. in Vegas?

Flat track + DEI + poor testing = long odds

You can make some good money by taking Robot before the line moves.

Maybe we can get everyone to just push it over here, we still need some water and I sure don't want to wait for April to get it!

I was contemplating Matt but may go with Kurt this week. Mark Martin has AAA as his sponsor.

Haa, haa... I had Biffle the second race and we know what happened and Jeff the first. Fate is a cruel mistress.

Congrats to Charlotte for getting the Hall of Fame. Great choice.

Don't work this weekend so will be able to settle in and watch the racing. Usually when I get off work I see most of the races but I'm too tired and wound up to really enjoy them.

I brought the camera - it's the sobriety thing that will be the biggest test.

ROCKETMAN

NASCAR driver helps contain fire at eatery

Tuesday, March 7, 2006 8:12 AM EST


Joshua Harris, Local News Editor, jharris@newstopic.net

A NASCAR driver with a Leatherman helped control a fire that threatened to engulf Sledgehammer Charlie's in downtown Lenoir Monday afternoon.

Chris Barlowe and Jeffrey Rocks with Gateway Grading were having lunch with NASCAR driver Ryan Newman at Sledgehammer Charlie's discussing a business venture, according to Barlowe and Rocks, when the fire started.

“Our lunch had just arrived when the restaurant filled with smoke,” Rocks said.

Barlowe, who used to work with Lenoir Fire Department, asked where the roof access was, and Barlowe, Rocks and Newman climbed up to the roof. Once on top, they saw a vent system cover.

If not for Newman's Leatherman, a knife-like tool, the men still may have been trying to get to the fire when Lenoir arrived. However, Barlowe said Newman used the Leatherman to remove the bolts to the ventilator cover while he used a fire extinguisher on the flames.


“Once they got the top off, Ryan and Chris expended every fire extinguisher (they had),” Rocks said. “Instead of running away (Newman) ran to the fire.”

“Ryan saved the day,” Barlowe said.

Fire Chief Ken Briscoe said he saw Barlowe on the roof, but he didn't know a NASCAR driver was working reserves for the department as well.

“When (Barlowe) came down he was telling me he and this other guy took fire extinguishers to knock this fire down,” Briscoe said. “I thanked him and said ya'll did a great job.”

Then Barlowe told the chief he may want to thank the man that helped him.

“I walked over there and said, ‘Gosh! Ryan Newman,'” Briscoe said. “He said, ‘Yeah.'”

Briscoe said he thanked Newman again for helping knock the fire down until Lenoir's firefighters arrived on the scene, and Newman told him not to worry about it.

I made barbecue for Daytona. Two weeks ago it was homemade pizzas for California.

I don't know what to make for Vegas. :-/

For Vegas I could offer up two suggestions:

1. Buffet style like at casinos/resorts: Chicken wings, spinach dip, cocktail weiners, cocktail shrimp, etc.

or

2. Go old school, mobster/Rat-Pack Vegas and do some heavy Italian cooking. You won't see any other chance to do Italian on the NASCAR circuit anyway.

I also smoked a couple of pork butts right around Daytona - good eats!
