Join us this weekend at tracks in the heartland of America.
God bless our troops and families and nation.
Keep your spirit up, young warriors, and Godspeed.
I wouldn't go to Florida this weekend...for NOTHIN'!
It seems like a crap shoot sometimes! Espesialy when ya throw in all the variables, especially when someone pushes a point!
Glood luck to ya!
I'd get a better travel agent!
I can't bear to look. How bad did you beat me in Q...
You passed me. Best watchyer six. Me and Fierce are goin North.
Oh, it's much worse than that. The local racquetball clubs have retained lawyers.
Small consolation for Rocket as he shatters the Busch record to take the pole for the USG Durock 300. By the time I create a neat little table for the lineup, NASCAR.com probably will be done. In any case, missing the race are Kertus Davis (35th-fastest), Michel Jourdain (39th-fastest), Wade Day (40th-fastest), Mark Green, Tim Sauter, Eric McClure, Kerry Earnhardt, Kim Crosby, Chris Horn and Jeff Fuller
And back at ya!

I always have sound problems on the speed channel. Usually I can barely hear the announcers over the background noise and sometimes sounds like they are in a tunnel. Sometimes I hate Speed Channel.
Let's make the most of our unique scoring positions. If I beat you you will send me all of Alton's taped shows and if you beat me I will send you a carton of hand grenades cleverly disguised as pine cones...
Sure are a bunch of Buschwackers this week!
Oh yah, I was a Rusty in the Miller Pontiac fan back then. Dale and Rusty were the Men in Black. Lookin gooooood.
Hmmmm. This is the first time I've had a sound malfunction with Speed. Their sound is generally lower quality than say Fox, ESPN, or NBC, but this was totally goofed up.
Dunno if it's Speed or Dish Network, but after the first commercial, it was back to normal. Speed was obviously running a tape delay of about a minute... steveegg had the results up for drivers as I watched them leave the pits for their run.
Usually during a race, XM radio is several seconds faster (earlier to announce a caution for example) than Fox or NBC here, but today, Speed was operating in their own time zone.
Anyone have a pic?
I can't find one, we can ask GRRRRR for a screen cap if he watches the Busch race today.
Great cobbling job wheels!! I still say Nascar could use your skills.
