PUTZ...
Don’t be messin with my raccoons... they keep my dogs from sleeping around the clock.
Aw, go change yer drivers.
Good point. LOL
I’m up for Darlington next week too, right?
I put VS. on my favorites list on the satellite. This is your fault.
Yeppers, then I’ve got two, count em, Charlotte’s in a row. How bad have you got it :o)
Excellent invocation.
Brooke Morton with the anthem. I give her a 9.
She was good.
They missed the flyover, or did I miss it?
Special paint schemes for my driver the next few races as well. :D
That was strange. The flyby happened during the commercial before the invocation... the Blue Angels - Fat Albert C-130.
I agree but what is with the indifference of the teams to the Anthem?
Landing on an aircraft carrier is...To begin with, you travel out to the carrier on a powerful, compact, and chunky aircraft—a weight-lifter version of a regional airline turboprop. This is a C-2 Greyhound, named after the wrong dog. C-2 Flying Pit Bull is more like it. In fact what everyone calls the C-2 is the “COD.” This is an acronym for “Curling the hair Of Dumb reporters,” although they tell you it stands for “Carrier Onboard Delivery.”
There is only one window in the freight/passenger compartment, and you’re nowhere near it. Your seat faces aft. Cabin lighting and noise insulation are absent. The heater is from the parts bin at the Plymouth factory in 1950. You sit reversed in cold, dark cacophony while the airplane maneuvers for what euphemistically is called a “landing.” The nearest land is 150 miles away. And the plane doesn’t land; its tailhook snags a cable on the carrier deck. The effect is of being strapped to an armchair and dropped backwards off a balcony onto a patio. There is a fleeting moment of unconsciousness. This is a good thing, as is being far from the window, because what happens next is that the COD reels the hooked cable out the entire length of the carrier deck until a big, fat nothing is between you and a plunge in the ocean, should the hook, cable, or pilot’s judgment snap. Then, miraculously, you’re still alive.
Landing on an aircraft carrier was the most fun I’d ever had with my trousers on.

That’s what I thought I heard, so I thought I missed the anthem and then they came back from commercial to the anthem. Oy..........
Commercials, What a country!!!
LOL, it actually has some pretty good sports on that channel, some weird ones too.
