That place looks like a lot of fun!

WCG, I need a recon report from there!

[WestCoastGal]

Ok, but I’m not riding the bull. :)

And in other news LMAO

...”Cottonelle, which introduced the slogan “Be kind to your behind” in January, plans to ask fans at NASCAR races this week to stand up for the Lap 100 stretch. Texas Motor Speedway will be the site for Nationwide and Sprint Cup events Saturday and Sunday.”....

[SouthTexas]

I think I was 19 or 20 the last time I was on a bull. It takes entirely too long to heal anymore.

[glock rocks]

That’s the spirit!

[WestCoastGal]

Thank you both.

It was a tough one this week as FR crashed the other night while I was putting it together and lost half of it. Fortunately I got it in last night before the big crash. :)

Thanks girl, did you see that I’m going up for the two practice and qualifying days? Jr is running both races this weekend and I have pitpasses. :)

If anyone has Schrader on their team, best to replace him as he’s out this week per Nascar.com

Empire building: Harvicks love being fully immersed in racing

Kevin Harvick does not play golf. And the guy nicknamed "Happy" hardly is a candidate for Dancing with the Stars.

"I have no rhythm," Harvick said on the occasion of his seventh wedding anniversary last month. "My wife won't even let me dance at home, so you can imagine what it would look like on TV."

Any dancing that Kevin and DeLana Harvick squeeze into their days from February to November typically takes place in Victory Lane at a NASCAR-sanctioned racetrack.

Kevin is best known as the man who replaced superstar Dale Earnhardt at Richard Childress Racing after the seven-time Sprint Cup Series champion was killed on the final lap of the 2001 Daytona 500. But as co-owners of Kevin Harvick Inc., the Harvicks are fielding fulltime teams in both NASCAR's Craftsman Truck and Nationwide series. Included in their emerging empire is Ron Hornaday Jr.'s 2007 Craftsman Truck Series championship-winning team.
