Hey, I don’t remember anybody sayin you have to call the shot. If the ball went in the pocket, I’ll buy the next pitcher. This is Norm’s Oyster Bar and Bait Shoppe. You got it fair and square!
I like that! lol!
... and if they don’t ... ya gonna cheer for the Red Wings in the finals?
HAHAHAHA. Yah, like I’m gonna cheer for the Lakers? Heh.
My dad had several Model A’s that he scavenged parts off from to keep one running during the depression. He siphoned gas off the construction site until they were through with the project, then they filled the tank with water. Yup. Busted. Then he joined up and went to the Pacific theatre to fly.
They’re actually my 2nd favorite team. Goes back to the Brett Hull connection. ;)
Ugh. Can’t say that about the Lakers. This Stanley Cup obsession is all your fault. Tell ya what... you start cheering for Stewart, and we’ll call it even. Deal?
Absolutely! It was pretty darn embarrassing when the Nascar Store laughed at me for asking what they had for San Jose Sharks fans...
I’ll take it if you turn it upside down and securely attach it to one of those Jockey helmets the players wear...
Or mount it to your beanie if you’re a really macho nerd.
Macho nerd???
It’d be a great name for a rock band!
Have actually pulled for Smoke on occasion, even Crash too, when they ran both Indy and the 600 on the same day. Wonder if anyone will attempt that again?
If they couldn't find anything, here is a Shark Racing Engine for ya:
Fin :-}

Lady in Black could help Gordon get into top 12

-He’s ranked 13th in points, 339 behind leader Kyle Busch but just six back of 12th-place Kasey Kahne. He’s on pace to lead fewer laps this season than any other since 2000. And he’s still searching for his first win of the season — providing a glaring zero in the W column that hasn’t appeared since his rookie year in 1993.
Yet Jeff Gordon has got to feel good about this weekend.
He’s the defending winner, beating Denny Hamlin last year on pit strategy and opting to stay out during the final round of pit stops to lead the final 22 laps — his only time up front in last year’s race. He pulled into Victory Lane with steam spewing like a geyser out of his No. 24 car for his seventh victory at the Track Too Tough to Tame, inching him closer to former tamers David Pearson with 10 wins and Dale Earnhardt with nine.
Quite frankly, Gordon has been the master of Darlington. In 27 starts there, he’s led laps in all but five races. He even led one lap in his debut, a 22nd-place finish in a 39-car field.
Following a three-race stinger in 2003 and 2004 when he finished 33rd, 32nd and 41st, Gordon has made podium appearances since: third in the 2004 fall race, second in 2005 and 2006, first in 2007.
So if it’s victories Gordon is in search of, Darlington has been the medicine in the past. If it’s points, the Lady in Black has provided for both Gordon and his stable mates.
1,401Points scored by Jimmie Johnson in the last 10 Darlington races, ranking him second behind Jeff Gordon’s 1,404. Johnson, however, has only started nine of those races.
JJ and Menard wrecked two cars in practice. Crash gordon also had an incident today.
Still checking for more.
Hamlin just lost his chance to qualify in the NW race by driving too hard.
Has Kyle Busch run into anyone yet?
“There will be a lot of hurt feelings this weekend, it will be very hard on me walking across the stage in front of Junior Nation,” Gaye lamented.
She is referring to the anticipated backlash and boos from Dale Earnhardt Jr. fans that hold her son Kyle responsible for the wreck at Richmond last weekend. After the recent tangle, the media labeled her son public enemy No. 1.
Sure the fans boo both Kyle and Kurt time after time, but this weekend will be especially loud, she fears.
“It's just part of it I guess, but they don't understand how hurtful it can be especially on Mother's Day,” she said. “I've always told Kurt and Kyle to keep their chins up and let it roll off their shoulders, get used to it. Sorry my boys weren't born in the South and sorry they win.”
Hermie Sadler talking about their mom Belle.....Wendy’s Real Deal tomorrow on Race Day is the Sadler family, Belle is undergoing treatment for breast cancer, prayers needed for the entire Sadler family
179.6 mph in practice braks the track record by Denny Hamlin.
Danica Patrick hits a man in the pits
Apparently she was pulling into her pits and this man was walking and she tried to stop but she hit him....no news if he is a crewmember, a driver or who...no news has been released of his condition and the tape of the accident has been nonreleased because of the rules at the Indy 500 track
And doing a d*mn fine job of it!
Hopefully Flash will do better than the Stars did!
Tomorrow is pole day at Indy.
