Prayers for our troops in the field , their families and our nation and allies as we wage war against Terrorism locally and globally and our enemies, both foreign and domestic, including those serving in this nation's own highest institutions.

We just had a shower out of nowhere. It sizzled as it hit the pavement and evaporated.

Not according to NWS via weather underground.

(you can jump to other days at the top...)
they're saying chance of precip is about zero until Sunday night.

OTOH, that can change at any time (like when it starts raining)

Is Bo cousin to the Bush Beans dog?

They belong to the same union.

Hooray! It is one of my two "Vacation from NASCAR" weekends!

If I wanted to watch this garbage (Infineon and Watkins Glen) I'd watch Formula One.

It does look like Rossi's walking away with it this year, he absolutely owns Sete.

Last year was so exciting because you just couldn't believe he'd win it first year out on an inferior M1.

Agreed, Hayden has no excuses, especially this year. If he'd...just...stop....crashing...!

Definitely looking forward to LS. They're even showing the Qualifying on speed.

Why do NASCAR fans so hate the road courses? It’s interminably dull to watch them race at identical 1.5 mile ovals every weekend. At least at a road course they have to break, turn and shift.

It tells you something about the relative skill most of the NASCAR drivers when non NASCAR regulars like Boris Said and Ron Fellows can beat all but a few of them.

Many of us do like the road courses. I do, it's a great change of pace from the ovals.

These tracks also give some of the other drivers a chance to run the course and show their stuff!!

Braun Racing's team plane had an engine explode and had to make an emergency landing.... All okay


They were flying through Cincinatti and they said that the engine EXPLODED and flames started to shoot out the side of the plane and caught fire and they had to make an emergency landing. ( they said it was spectacular) The only people there to get the car through tech are 1 crew member,Barry Dodson because his step son is on the team and on the plane, and TWO Chance 2 engine guys are helping to prepare that car and get it through tech. Barry Dodson was really shook up, which I can understand because he has already lost 2 of his own kids. Chance 2 is really helping out. Practice is tomorrow. Heard this on XM

I'm trying to find print news on this, but nothing yet.

Nice interview with Jeremy and his wife Shana.

Q: Where do you stay while you're there?


Shana Mayfield: In Petaluma, which is a small town that's close by. I think it's called Petaluma.

Jeremy Mayfield: It's a pretty nice area.

Shana Mayfield: It's like, a little Days Inn or something like that. And there's a casino right close by, isn't there? Not a real casino, but something like one?

Jeremy Mayfield: It's not like a real one. It's kind of a deal where you go in there and hopefully you don't have to fight your way out of it. It's one of those types of casinos.

Shana Mayfield: It's a cool little small town. It has some good boutiques and neat little things.

Jeremy Mayfield: I get mixed up out there, because everything is Napa, Sonoma, Petaluma, Ratahuma, Hatahuma, Capalabba and all those kinds of names -- so it's hard to get to where you're staying, all the time.

But I do know Petaluma is definitely a good area.

Shana Mayfield: It's a cool town.

Jeremy Mayfield: And there's another one right down there -- really off that one main intersection where all the little towns are located. They're all pretty cool. There are a lot of wineries around there.

Q: Infineon is in the Napa Valley wine country. You do any vineyard tours while you're out there -- either together or separately?

Jeremy Mayfield: Bill Elliott and I came out here when I first started with Ray Evernham -- Bill and I and Shana and Bill's wife, Cindy, came out here together.

Bill and I actually went over in 2002, 2003 or something like that -- to run these little go-kart deals around the track. Cindy and Shana went on a vineyard tour.

Shana Mayfield: A wine tasting tour -- it was my first time.

Jeremy Mayfield: And then about halfway through our test, Bill and I were at the racetrack and we get a phone call that they had to drop Shana off back at the hotel because she wasn't feeling well.

So I'll let her tell you about the rest of her wine-tasting ways.

See her wine tasting adventure>>>>
