Yep, that's the backup unit.

The dillo's will comply. But they want to negotiate!

Can the DILLOS shut JPM the hell up??

I was trying to watch Trackside, and there he is...blah blah blah.........something about "I wanted to win that race" explaining the deal with Pruett.

I hope ESPN got all the e-mails people said they sent about the constant coverage of him. I should have said CONSTANT COVERAGE him every second of that race in Mexico City. I just hope Fox doesn't do the same thing Sunday. He had a pretty fast practice this afternoon, God help us if he gets the pole or something.

Oh BTW, MM is on QVC tonight from the track. I got a note from Dan Hughes, the host of that show about my screencap sliding pics on IP of him and Jr. :)

I intercepted part of an e-mail they sent, something about a stampede of suicide dillos running across the track when JPM is in Q...


Was it a nasty-gram you got?

#18-Yeley hit the wall hard a few minutes into the practice session and will go to a backup car.

I think they've been messing with the tars.

Speaking of..........Bobby Labonte hit the wall....thinks a tar went down.

30.87 was the track record......so I guess they are going faster. Jr's time 29.93 breaks that record.
