I just checked over the notes for todays practice.

Tony bumped Jr and bent a little of the fender in........and Jr apologized for it. LOL [must have something to do with his father's intimidator image that makes Jr apologize for EVERYTHING]

Jr spun the car, hope the engine is ok. And on that note also Robby Gordon's DEI engine blew in practice.

We have a problem Huston Corpus...

[SouthTexas]

Caution, time for them to get busy!

[SouthTexas]

You said it...I didn't...

Just had a ad for a local septic tank pumping service..."WE'RE NUMBER 1 IN THE NUMBER 2 BUSINESS"...

[SouthTexas]

I like companies with a sense of humor. :)

[tubebender]

Ask me later about my afterlife experience today...

[SouthTexas]

OK, you have now piqued my curiosity.Is it later yet?

[WestCoastGal]

So what do you all want??

[tubebender]

I'm glad you asked...

I went to a memorial service for a 92 year old FRiend at 1:00 today and there was about 30 people there, mostly church members. I gave a little tribute to "Newt" as did a couple of his church members and then I drove over to my sisters house to tell her about it and to replace a lite bulb for her.

Her mail man drove up at the same time as I got out of my PU and as we walked up the sidewalk together he said..."Thanks for talking about Newt today, he was my wife's uncle"!!!

[SouthTexas]

Have been trying to decide whether it's a small world or a Twilight Zone moment.

I also have a friend named Newt. Guess I better give him a call.

Yikes....did not see that.

Engine change prior to race?

[WestCoastGal]

I'm wondering and hoping not, I haven't seen anything yet. That would be a PAIN putting him at the back.

HAMPTON, Ga. - So what does Dale Earnhardt Jr. think about driving an Impala for select races next year rather than a Monte Carlo?

Earnhardt Jr. was positive about the change, which will be fazed in with the "car of tomorrow."


"I bought one for my mom a couple of years ago," Earnhardt Jr. said. "My grandmother drives an Impala. It's a great car to market Chevrolet."

Grandmothers are not exactly a target audience, so Earnhardt's grandmother driving one might not be the best marketing campaign.

"My point was I bought a few myself," Earnhardt Jr. said.

[WestCoastGal]

Oh no they're giving Mikey an audience.........


In addition, look for enhancements to 'NASCAR RaceDay,' 'NASCAR Victory Lane' and the addition of a live audience to the popular and long-running 'Inside Nextel Cup.'"

MONTOYA DEFINITELY NEEDS A BIGGER HELMET TO FIT HIS HEAD INTO.

“It was pretty wild to be honest,” he said of his debut.

With two ARCA RE/MAX Series events under his belt and now his first in NASCAR out of the way, Montoya explained that he still has to get used to the way team’s spotters work with their drivers because the incessant, often times unnecessary contact was a little hard to swallow, adding, “It feels like kindergarten.”

"I turned around a couple of guys, I was on the inside of them and they still turn into me. I got to a point, you know, the second time I thought, is it me doing something wrong. I thought if you were on the inside of somebody, you're on the race line. Especially with the second one, with the 18, half a car inside and he's still just came in like I wasn't there. I didn't want to spin people around today but I could have passed ten more cars today if I would have been more aggressive."

Crew chief Brad Parrott who has guided Montoya’s transition on track added, “I think it was a great run. We came here to win the race. For his first outing he did a great job. I think he learned a lot.”

That ad sounds a lot like the one for Port-A-John.
