Join us as we head off to Chicagoland this week-end for the Cup and Busch circuits and the Craftsman Trucks running in Kentucky.
Have a good one!
I’m running 24, 1, 5 and 22
more racing lanes than a bowling alley at Chicagoland
this is considered semi-arid around here so we get all kinds of stuff growing.. there are a pile of growing zones in the northern california and bay area.

Break a leg, Tony!
Really. Break a leg. I’m serious. Doesn’t even have to be a bad break.
He is a character, for sure.
Joe set the boys straight. or so it sounds. , for now. lol
I prefer a broken valve; nobody gets hurt that way, and that ends the day as surely as a wreck.
I hope all 43 are running at the end of the day and the ones I picked up front. :-) (But I doubt either will be true if this season plays out like it has.(
Smoke would find a way to wreck somebody so he had someone to blame.
I'm so daggone mad at him I could spit.
Go Denny!
I like Hambone too.. He’s a good driver. He’ll win it evevtually, maybe not this year but he’ll grab a trophy or two ..
eventually
a quick plug FoR.. :-)

Invocation
Hanson with the Anthem
A bit much on the jazzing up, but if you can ignore that, not too bad. Nice touch putting the hands over the hearts.
I liked the anthem.
where’s the hunnert?
