Please pray on this day, and every day, for our Patriot Armed Forces standing in harm's way around the world in defense of our liberty, and for the families awaiting their safe return.
“NASCAR admits water got in Atlanta fuel supply, leading to big wreck”
Not sure about copywrite laws so here’s a link to the story that goes with that headline;

I guess the reason I’m bugged about this is that every time NASCAR says something about this, something else pops up immediately and they’re forced to change their story.
Another question, how come there were no problems with the trucks and cup qualifying? If the same fuel source was used, then wouldn’t that negate Mr. Darby’s hypothesis that the water could have been introduced ‘...a week, two weeks ago...”?
Hey, WCG, Jayski has speeds up. Truex a bit quicker than Jr., Kyle faster than either, had top speed in a.m. session.
Q. The military is such a big part of your career, sponsor of your Busch and soon to be Cup car that you’re working on right now. Being in a vehicle for supporting the troops, do you ever feel a responsibility to speak out about issues that the troops have, deployment of the National Guard extended, and issues at Walter Reed?
DALE EARNHARDT, JR.: I’m not in a position to blast opinions on anything like that. I mean, certainly when it comes to knowledge of those various and specific situations that you just spoke of, I’m not intelligent enough about them independently to be able to sit here and think that I would be able to tell a cameraman or a print reporter what I thought should be done.
You know, what I enjoy doing, I do got some friends in IraQ. One of my buddies just went there recently. I just ask them what they need. They tell me. I try to mail it to them. You know, I think if there’s one responsibility, obviously my job with my race team is to try to let young Americans and young adults know that that’s an opportunity, to join the Guard, to join the Navy, that that’s an opportunity, and try to give them all the information that they can have to make that decision.
But I feel like, as a citizen of the United States, you know, being able to take some time out of my week to put together a care package to send to a couple of buddies of mine that they can disperse throughout their company and whatnot, that’s probably the best thing. I remember being in military school. That was the coolest thing that could happen, when your parents sent you a box of stuff, new socks, candy bars, whatever.
As ridiculous as that sounds to us, to just be able to walk up to the corner store and pick it up, it’s really hard to get over there. You can get an iPod, but you can’t download music. The things we take for granted.
They tell me what they kind of things they wish they had or hadn’t thought about bringing over with them, and I try to mail it to them. When we’re all on our XM radio show we try to tell our listeners that that’s a good exercise for them, too, is just to put a care package together. Takes five minutes. Makes a big, big difference to those guys, the morale over there.
And lookie here, the owner is there too.
Nascar Now reported the substance was a brownish color and surmised it could have been rust or something else. They also said Darby reported it may be narrowed down to fuel from Saturday at one of the pumps. >????? I don’t know it sounds weird to me.
XM radio report....... RCR cars had water in their fuel also...and possibly
the 16....someone asked Claire B about Jr’s car at the very beginning & also someone mentioned on air that MTJ made reference to “losing his power” during the middle part of the race.....
Someone is trying to run sewer water and get an extra boost from the methane!
LOL, thanks for the pics!
Right when they got to the question about water on Inside Nextel Cup, the cable went into a test mode and I missed the whole thing!
Cool.. Hope it dries out quick.
Have been there when it looked like that.
That must have been a promo when Bobby was driving the 18 car, I sure hope it ain’t that wet there today. lol..
Forecast has rain Thursday, clear after that. A bit chilly though, but that means more horsepower!
Nevermind, that was next Thursday.
