I've seen one of the MRO guys with him before the race. They are there every week, they also do fun things for the children of the drivers to keep them entertained and stuff.

The question was about any ritual before a race. That was hs response. Then the special boxers...

Always fun to hear the 8 live with his friends. Gal, get the radio!

How do you hook it up in the house?......I saw the one for the car.

Thanks for the running comments. If one of the girls does a recap I will post it in the morning. Time for me to check out my feather bed! :)

MRO basically does "church" on the road for the drivers and their kids.

Just in case ya'll thought this was done........

". from those in the know is that this rumor may not be that far from truth after all. John Story, the CEO of RGM was on Claire B. Lang's show tonight playing a little symantics game. There are "birdies" saying that there is some truth to the Yates rumor and to stay tuned until the attorneys have it all ironed out."

According to FOX SPORTS - Elliot Sadler has been confirmed as the driver of the #19 at Michigan.

"CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) - Elliott Sadler will take over the No. 19 Dodge at Evernham Motorsports beginning with this weekend's race at Michigan International Speedway, a team official confirmed to The Associated Press."

STORY HERE

ALso, Kasey Kahne slipped up in an interview last night and said, "I am real excited to have Elliot Sadler as my teammate this week. Errr I mean MAYBE this week. (Smile)"

Still no confirmation from RYR that Gilliland is driving the #38 this week, but reports are all the cars now have David's name on them, so that one looks firm too. Plus Gilliland himself stated Yesterday that he looked forward to finishing out the season in the 38.

In his affidavit, Evernham stated that Mayfield breached their contract, in part, because Mayfield "failed to use his best diligent efforts to compete professionally in the Nextel Cup Series" and "Mayfield disparaged the Evernham team and me personally."
Evernham said that Mayfield inexplicably pitted late in the Pocono race July 23 because of a flat tire that turned out to have nothing wrong with it. He also said that Mayfield brushed the wall at Indianapolis and "based on my experience, I believed that Mayfield's conduct in wrecking the car was on purpose."



WOW! I just can't believe that somebody could possibly think that a driver would purposely wreck and possibly endanger themselves and others.

I hope the Candyman knows what he's getting into.

Mayfield's side is at the link......
