I wonder how long it will take for Vickers to get dumped.

I won $215 in the office NASCAR pool on Vickers. I didn't even know it. They pick the drivers at random and forgot to tell me who my driver was until today. LOL!

#48 could always get Carl Edwards to take him out. He's out of the chase.

I'm finally starting to heal from the arrows I took here during the Talladega race. Unfortunately for the arrow slingers, the media boys are still whining about Dale Jr.'s "rough" bumpdrafting of poor little Jeffy G. It's also strange to see the way the media crowd is praising Vickers for his wonderful win in Talladega. Had Junior or Jeffy G. bumped Vickers out of the way to win, we'd never hear the end of it.

Thanks for the ping, GR.

PRB, you want to bash my driver again, we take it off-line. Understood?

This is a place to enjoy the event and company.

At least that is my take on this thread.

You're welcome. Hey, with this much advanced warning, you might even do a preemptive beer run by Saturday night!
