[SouthTexas]

What? No screen-shots? LOL Like I'll be able to see them. i don't carry a laptop to races. The only reason I carry my nextel is to beep those not there and give them an earful!

I don't know what their thinking is, but as CK says, that's Nutscar!

[SouthTexas]

Thoughts and prayers are with you.

Tickle Me Elmo has went tickle me crazy over Dale Jr. and must go!

It was just a couple of years ago when me and Elmo would sit and watch the race on Sunday both pulling for Gordon and having a grand ole time. Then the day came when Jr. began to dominate the super speedways and Elmo just went head over heels crazy about him. This behavior is just not allowed in my home so he needs to find a home where he fits in a little better.

EBAY

Elmo says theres nothing more he would like to do other than to actually see Dale Jr. race live at Talladega, so maybe his dreams may come true.

I have to warn you that he has also picked up some mighty bad habits, so beware he might also need some discipline. Here is a list of just a few examples of what you might expect.

1. Excessive internet surfing of Dale Jr. Fan sites!

2. Running up credit cards buying racing memorabilia on, of course EBAY!

3. Will not wear his hat right anymore!

4. Sneaks off and drinks beer!

5. Thinks we should rent a car and drive to napa to get some new breaks cause that would be smooth!

6. Tried to break my Gordon Pepsi bottle!

Thanks to Nascar.........


ANDRETTI TEAM DR0PS FULL-TIME PLANS
The ppc Racing team said today that it is dropping its full-time Nextel Cup plans for its No. 14 Ford for John Andretti and will attempt only a part-time schedule. "We did not anticipate the major shift in the qualifying rules, which force a non-locked-in team to qualify for a race or to go home, as it happened to us in Atlanta," said team owner Greg Pollex. "The combination of the new qualifying rules and the fact that most events are impound races is a combination that does not work when you are forced to use a qualifying setup just to make the field. A qualifying set up will not race competitively."

Richard Childress on the appeal denial.........

"It is impossible for me to describe how disappointed I am with NASCAR's penalty and appeal process.
"First of all, what Todd Berrier did was wrong and we deserve to be penalized. But I think suspending him for four weeks, in light of everything else that has happened in the past several weeks, is wrong.

"The infraction took place during qualifying and we were sent to the back of the field to start the race. Penalizing Kevin Harvick, who knew nothing about the infraction before the fact, is also wrong.

"NASCAR's decision to deduct driver points, whether it's Kevin Harvick or any other driver, does an injustice to the sponsors and everyone involved with the racing organization.

"There is no consistency in NASCAR's penalty and appeal process. It's black and white. You're either legal or you're not."

[SouthTexas]

Can I put son-in-law on Ebay?

[SouthTexas]

"There is no consistency in NASCAR's penalty and appeal process.

Duh. Heard earlier on Speed that there were different people on the Hendricks and Childress appeal boards. The rules are not the same week to week and it's getting very perturbing to many.

Deadline remider:

"Deadline to select or edit your drivers is Apr 1 2:00am PST"

Who's runnin' this weeks thread?

[WestCoastGal]

glock is up this week.

Qualifying may be rained out, make your picks with that in mind.

[SouthTexas]

Made choices after the last race, better go back and see who I picked!~LOL

What does rain-out do with qualifying?

[NYTexan]

If that happens, does that mean we won't get qual points?

[glock rocks]

I'll get the thread up later tonight. Gotta go make my choices!

[WestCoastGal]

This year they will lineup according to points from last year. This is the last week (5) for that.

If it's a rain out we get no points for qualifying on FRRL.

[SouthTexas]

Bummer. Oh well, shortracks are a roll of the dice anyway.
