WELCOME EVERYONE
This week we are going to Watkins Glen International Raceway in New York. Please join us for a full weekend of racing.
Watkins Glen International continues a road-racing tradition that dates back to 1948 -- when sports cars competed on the streets of the village at the southern tip of scenic Lake Seneca. The circuit, which at one time hosted the F1 United States Grand Prix, has grown to become one of the most respected facilities in the northeast.

Silly Season is in full throttle, revved up by Roush Racing announcing that Kurt Busch is leaving and Penske's announcement that it has signed Busch.
Dave Rodman: Miller wanted a race winner, now. They got him with Kurt. ... I am absolutely shocked he would leave one of the dominant teams in the sport, though.
Marty Smith: Knowing the huge cash that Penske was offering Martin Truex Jr., they're probably throwing even more at Kurt. This is a huge, huge score for Roger Penske.
Ryan Smithson: I know there are a lot of Busch-bashers out there, but this is a great hire for Penske. At least Kurt will be able to get in that car and win right away. I wonder what Ryan Newman thinks of the whole deal.
Duane Cross: It was the most logical ride -- if Busch were to leave Roush. Penske said at Indy the team had narrowed its choices to two drivers. Well, we know who one of them was.
Marty Smith: It's just unheard of for a guy to win a championship, be in contention for another one and walk away. But man, money talks, and Penske has it and is willing to spend it.
Ryan Smithson: Boys, I will bet y'all that Roush lets Busch out of his deal early, unlike Chip Ganassi / Jamie McMurray. ... Now we have to talk about who fills Kurt's ride. What a day.
Duane Cross: Newman probably was lobbying for Kenseth. Man, if there was a driver who was looking to jet Roush, Kenseth was the logical choice. And now, boom! Kurt's leaving.
Marty Smith: This is, without a doubt, the wildest Silly Season ever.
Dave Rodman: What might have been the straw that broke the camel's back is Jimmy Fennig. He didn't want to do this hectic crew chief deal much longer, and if Kurt was not gonna have him, he mighta decided to go where the money was.
Ryan Smithson: Yeah Marty, I told Duane earlier, this is a Silly Season that happens once a decade. And Rodman, you are 100 percent right about Fennig. He wanted to retire after 2006.
Dave Rodman: Heck, Jimmy might even opt out after this season -- since Kurt is leaving.
Duane Cross: Well, here's what we can say about Ganassi/Roush/Penske: What goes around, comes around. ... Welcome to the new NASCAR, where contracts aren't worth the paper they're written on.

*sigh*
Despite buying and using that surge protector that Steve pointed me towards, our brand new modem is not working and we strongly suspect that it was lightning that once again knocked it out. Anyway, I'm using my sister's computer to check e-mail and just hoping that I get a chance before the deadline to set my line up for this week's race.
