PHOENIX, Ariz. — Shane Huffman will return to Phoenix International Raceway to drive the No. 88 Navy Accelerate Your Life Chevrolet Monte Carlo SS in the NASCAR Busch Series Bashas Supermarkets 200 on Friday, April 20.
Prior to racing at Phoenix, Huffman and JR Motorsports team owner Dale Earnhardt Jr. will spend Wednesday aboard the USS Cleveland LPD-7. The vessel is the fourth amphibious transport dock in the Austin class. Commissioned in April 1967, the USS Cleveland is home ported out of San Diego, Calif., as a member of the Pacific Fleet Amphibious Forces. At 569 feet in length, the USS Cleveland has divided her time between operations in the Eastern Pacific and extended deployments to the Western Pacific. It is normally assigned as part of an Expeditionary Strike Group and has performed a wide variety of missions.

Dale Earnhardt, Jr.’s Top Ten Thoughts While Driving the No. 5 at Texas
Kim DeHaven and Amy Henderson · Wednesday April 18, 2007
10. Damn! A wrecked Hendrick car still drives better than any car I raced in the beginning of 2005.
9. I wonder if I can borrow the setup book, too
8. Not fair! Kyles car has a tiki bar in the back! That sure explains all those accidents his rookie year
7. Why does Kyle have hedge clippers, a lawn edger, and a weed eater under the seat? Oh, yeah; he must need something to keep all that facial hair in check.
6. Its cool seeing your name twice in a full field run down unless you are 36th and 37th.
5. Team Communications can be highly entertaining: Oh, Je-eeeeefff! Hi Jeff! I came to the dark side, Jeff! Am I annoying you yet, Jeff?! Jeff, can I have your autograph? Name the baby Dale, Jeff! Jeff, youre my hero
4. Damn Just because he has Cheez-Its ON the car doesnt mean he has Cheez-Its IN the car.
3. Ha! I knew I could make my fans cheer for Hendrick!
2. I sure hope Teresa is watching
1. Is this seat WET? The little ^%##&*$$#, no wonder he didnt wanna get back in!

Nascar connection to VT.
Listening to the driver introductions while on the way to our seats we heard Flash's name announced which was followed by big-time Boos.
I was LMAO!
Great lookin' thread btw!
I'll post some pics of the race on the TMS thread.
Yippee looking forward to them.
Glad you made it home!!
Sorry........
I would have loved to been a fly on the wall for the Monday morning meeting at HMS.
I was really surprised at all the naysayer articles about why Jr should NOT have done that. What a load.
If someone were to ask Dale Jr, "How bad have you got it?"....what do you think he would say?
"Well, I'm having my go-cart track resurfaced, does that count?"
BTW, had to take my vehicle back to the dealer today - again. They said it was fixed. Same issue. What crap.
I'll give the service rep credit, when I called him this morning and said, "Who fixed this thing? Stevie Ray Wonder?" He laughed. I said, "Don't laugh, when I bring the vehicle back I might forget about the right turn into the service area and just continue driving right on into the show room area!"
Without hesitation he said, "no problem, I'll let the boss know we got a hot one coming in and we need more vehicles in front of the show room windows!"
That made me giggle.
To heck with the naysayers, his fans were 100% proud that he did that for a friend.
When asked how did it run? “Like a wrecked car” LOL
I would be almost willing to bet Shrub took off in a huff like he’s done before with his no comments to reporters etc.
The reporters don’t matter but his team did. Jr got him 3 points. lol
I hope you get the car back FIXED!! :)
BreakingNews....... Mikey replaces #55 crewchief with Buddy Sisco. [sp?]
Per ESPN Now.
Must have scooped Jayski on the MW CC news, he has nothing yet.
No deal with NE Patriots/Kraft for Yates.
They are looking for and NEED funding.
Biffle may explore his options before signing contract extension with Roush for beyond 2008. That team has had a lot of inquiries for sponsorship to replace Ameriquest who bailed out.

Power rankings are dedicated to VT this week. All Cup and Busch cars will carry the VT emblem this weekend as well.
Wow.
You know something has / had to change.
Did they find the culprit?
I've been keeping an eye open for news about DJ and Matt Borland - meshing, Y/N?, etc., not much to be found.
Nothing but questions.
WoW! Outstanding opening page! Nice work!
Happy WEDnesDAY to all...picking drivers? Nah, it’s all worthless for the rest of the season...I’ll just draw numbers out of the hat!
GGGGG
Ya do know that Dale Sr. and Flash were actually good friends, like mentor-mentee and had several business interests together...?
WHAT on earth will #8 fans do IF IF IF Jr. goes to HENDRICK? because DEI and Evil Stepmom won’t let him have the company?
That was then, this is now!
Jr. will never go to the darkside. (unless it’s a black #3)
You are most likely very correct in that...but, you know $$$$ makes people do strange things!
