Still wired here,,, sitting in front of computer and smiling ! :)
Going to be a long night,,, got to have a National Guard 88 jacket, tee shirt and hat before I go to Atlanta. Shopping online is so slow with 26.4 dial up.
Spent 6 years in The Marine Corps, but got to wear 88 National Guard gear.
And, yes I can't sleep. I will be sorry about 4 this afternoon!
This is the owner he's been longing for..........
And a BIG thank you to our teammates, particularly JJ who gave us a bad a$$ push to the front!
Right behind and between Jr and Rick is TJ who did a hell of a job on the radio. This was not just a clear, clear night, he constantly updated Jr as to who was where behind him, 2 wide 3 wide, who had a run, who was pushing that car etc. It was like talking a blindfolded person through a maze. Fantastic.
Thanks for the welcome West Coast Gal.
Congrats Jr and all the 88 fans. Jr’s a great plate racer and is always good over the first half of most races. It will be interesting to see what he does next week in the big race.
Well last year the second half of races was mostly bad due to engine failures or a lack of $$$$ in the engineering department R&D setting up the car with the proper equipment that Hendrick has. This car pretty much came off the hauler ready to win. The DEI cars NEVER came off the hauler right and they had to fight with them every race trying to adjust the darn car during the race.
Printing a couple now.
That was one happy boy last night.
Great to see all the team support w/ Jeff and Jimmie coming over to congratulate the Hendrick noob. :)
I knew you’d be a happy camper. The boy really needed this. It’s kind of a vindication, a fantastic way to start his new relationship with Hendrick and the sponsors........ Just a whole lot of people feeling good about this win. And best ofr all, maybe we can get back to seeing some good commercials again........ I hope you did or will get to see the Dale/camel commercial.
OK, I looked at them closely, and saw Jr's first win in a Hendrick MS car, a happy driver for the first time in a loooonnnngggg time, and I give up, what did I miss?
I missed that one. Have to have a peek at YouTube.
Great pic’s......that was just too cool!
A great start to the season!
Go 99!!
Qualifying is up!
way to be on the ball.
just found it.
Thanks
Now if they’ll just get around to putting the cars on the track!
Yep, done had my chorizo burrito, now I’m ready.
Finally cars.
here we go!
Boris is such a fun guy to watch, hope he has a good car today.
I predict Truex will be the first car on the pole.........
