AGP, was it you that wanted ta see more of the Nascar ladies?
LAKE BUENA VISTA -- Martin Truex wears his emperor's clothes grudgingly. You could sense the uneasiness as he stepped into a tuxedo and walked onto the banquet stage as the Busch Series champion to accept enough trophies to fill a shopping cart.
As the parade of NASCAR sponsors shook hands with Truex on Saturday night at the Portofino Bay Hotel adjacent to Universal Studios, Truex couldn't wait to get the heck out of the penguin wear.
Within the next few weeks, he will be in camouflage fatigues to hunt deer in Texas, and then in cold gear for snowboarding with buddies in Colorado.

Earnhardt and Truex remain close friends. Driving as teammates should be fluid, and maybe the transition will be as smooth as the days Earnhardt and Waltrip worked so well together on restrictor-plate tracks.
They also see a lot more of each other than anybody else along pit road: Earnhardt is Truex's landlord. Truex rents a home on the property Earnhardt owns in North Carolina.
"The rent is cheap, man," Truex said. "He doesn't knock when he visits. He just walks in and sits on my couch." LINK
Howdy.
Sounds like here, nobody knocks.
Thanks for the ping WCG. I might stay up a bit past my bedtime and watch it. :-)
