LOL.

Lineup for the Busch race and qualifying order for the Cup race coming up. Sad news for WCG; Kenny Wallace withdrew from the Cup event.

"Next thing we'll hear is about Jack sporting a dog sweater! LOL "

That's funny, cause I did ask him today if he wanted one. [of course only the finest sweater will do while he's eating his filet mignon dinner]

There was series snow in Montana and South Dakota yesterday. The weather in Eureka is classified just below boring. We don't need any of those weather beebers as it neither snows nor bakes...

I heard a good one today but you can't tell Grok. If you mix clorox and brake fluid you get lots of smoke...

Works even better with pool shock.

Oh Goody...



NASCAR And The Rebel Flag

Oct. 6, 2005



NASCAR has grown into a $3 billion business and CEO Brian France hopes to expand it into urban areas. (AP)



(CBS) Brian France oversees America’s fastest-growing sport and is trying to expand the multi-billion franchise to untapped audiences. But in the process, he is trying to shed the stereotype that NASCAR is a "good ole boys" sport from the South.

France can’t get rid of an old bugaboo that stands squarely in his path, the Confederate flag some fans still fly at races, he tells correspondent Lesley Stahl on 60 Minutes this Sunday, Oct. 9, at 7 p.m. ET/PT.

“It’s not a flag that I look at with anything favorable. That’s for sure,” CEO France says. “I can’t tell people what flag to fly. I can tell you the flag we get behind: It’s the American flag.”

NASCAR is a third-generation-owned business that now generates more than $3 billion in annual revenue and France is expanding it into America’s urban areas. Along with that, he is trying to make auto racing more appealing to minorities and women.

Formerly a Southern sport with a fan base mostly drawn from people who live below the Mason-Dixon Line, NASCAR now appeals to people all over the country and has the television ratings to prove it.

But NASCAR must appeal to minorities if it wants to become popular in places like Los Angeles, where France moved the important Labor Day NASCAR event last year, or New York, which is soon to have a track.

“(Reaching out to minorities) is something I work on every day. I work on it personally …” France tells Stahl. Among those efforts France counts running a NASCAR event in Mexico and establishing a training program for female and minority drivers.

NASCAR legend, Richard Petty — considered by some the Babe Ruth of drivers — thinks of it another way. He says it's all about the race, where collisions are common and speeds sometimes exceed 200 mph. “I think the old fans look at it as a Southern sport. The new fans in California, they don’t know where it comes from. They don’t care. They want to come see the race!”

I can't find a reason on Jayski. Kenny's site had Furniture Row making only 1 more attempt this year at Phoenix, and nothing about their abortive Kansas attempt.

You are not going to believe this but I just got a email from some Screech in Nigeria offering to mediate for a small sum. Now I'm short on cash so would you accept my offer to take up my claim for the finders fee plus expense. You would do this of course for the Glory of the Great State of Texas...
