Please remember our service men and women serving our country standing in harms way so we may have the freedom to enjoy every day in peace. Remember and send prayers also to those in the military hospital around the country and to the combat medics who were able to save them with their own bravery and duty to country.
God Bless

Well, I am really looking forward to this weekend. I love 'The Lady In Black'! A buddy and I went there in '01. What a great place. On another note, here's a link to pics of me at 'Dega last Sunday for the Petty Ride-Along Experience. Words connot fully describe what it was like. The turns were like a centrifuge. Three laps made me all wobbly when I climbed out ...... I can't imagine what 500 miles is like!! I asked my driver, Shaun, how fast we'd hit. He said, "Oh, about a buck-68 to 70." I said, "LET'S GO!!" Our car, the #19 Sadler Dodge, followed the other Ride-Along car, the #8 Bud car. I was really glad I was in the second car, as I was able to sense what the draft feels like when he'd pull behind him. Down the backstretch, they were weaving back and forth like they were blocking and trying to pass. They also took turns heading up to the wall in the turns. I could almost reach out and touch the fence in turns 3 and 4. The G-forces were WAY more than I expected. In turn 2 on the last lap, Shaun rode the rim, then turned hard left and headed down the hill of the turn like a classic old slingshot. I could hear the motor winding up!! I fully recommend all of you to at least do the Ride-Along at a track near you. Check out the schedule at the Petty Experience site.

Good race so far, but not much in the way of fireworks...RD

Am I dreaming, or did one of the announcers brag during the race about how Bill France Jr went to China and worked to get Chinese money/sponsors flowing into NASCAR? Those who got upset over Toyota entering Cup races should be foaming at the mouth over that. At least Toyota builds tons of cars in the US and is based in an allied nation. China on the other hand. Wow.
