Please pray on this day, and every day, for our Patriot Armed Forces standing in harm's way around the world in defense of our liberty, and for the families awaiting their safe return.
I really feel for all those that camped out. The lack of drive time vs. freezing all night, is not something I think I would trade.;)
I need to go out for a minute too. Have the early pics 'rit down, just in case no one picks them up.
I think they are a hardy lot. Me, I cannot endure the cold. Even East Tennessee cold.
The snow event yesterday was another page in the great history of NASCAR.
My C driver - Kyle. Again off the gut. He's run decent.

| Driver Paul Dana dies after crash during warmup for IRL race HOMESTEAD, Fla. (AP) -- Driver Paul Dana died after a two-car crash Sunday during the warmup for the season-opening IRL IndyCar Series race at Homestead-Miami Speedway. The other driver, Ed Carpenter, was awake and alert at a Miami hospital, IRL officials said. Dana, 30, a former motorsports journalist with a degree from Northwestern, was a rookie who competed in three IRL races for Ethanol Hemelgarn Racing last year with a best finish of 10th in the race at Homestead. The Toyota Indy 300 race was expected to be run as scheduled. Bobby Rahal, co-owner of Rahal Letterman Racing for which Dana was to race this season, said the team's other two cars - driven by Danica Patrick and Buddy Rice - will be pulled out of the race. "Obviously, this is a very black day for us," Rahal said. "This is a great tragedy." Carpenter spun and hit the wall moments after the practice began at 10 a.m. EST. As Carpenter's battered car slid to a stop, Dana slammed into it at almost full speed - about 200 mph. Dana and Carpenter, the stepson of IRL founder Tony George, both were airlifted to Jackson Memorial Hospital in Miami. IRL officials said Dana died shortly before noon. Vision Racing team general manager Larry Curry said he was told Carpenter "would be fine." Dana is the first IRL driver killed since Tony Renna died in a crash during testing at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway in October 2003. It is the third racing death at the Homestead track - John Nemechek was killed in a NASCAR truck race in February 1997 and Jeff Clinton died in a Grand Am sports car event at the track in March 2002. © 2006 The Associated Press.
