Bring your slickers and galoshies.

“House” Star Hugh Laurie is the Grand Marshal For Auto Club 500 At Auto Club Speedway On Feb. 22.

Pray for our troops in harm's way around the globe. God bless their families.

I don’t know, but I do know they get paid for it.

Think it’s a contest over the course of the year.

[SouthTexas]

Good shot.

[tubebender]

With no help from you? I wore out the refresh button...

[SouthTexas]

I flipper over to Josie Wales.

[tubebender]

What division does he race in? :)

[SouthTexas]

The original Southern division.

...So...Go Shrub!

2 down, 1 to go!

Man of history

Kyle Busch dominated the Stater Bros. 300 at Auto Club Speedway on Saturday in much the same way he did in the San Bernardino County 200 hours before, becoming the first driver in NASCAR history to win two touring series events on the same day. -Nascar.com

I wonder what the Vegas line is on another KB win today?

Sportsbook.com

The Auto Club 500: Jimmie Johnson vs Kyle Busch NASCAR Matchup at Sportsbook.com has the defending Sprint Cup Champion, Johnson, pegged as a -135 moneyline favorite to best Busch in this weekend’s race.

Okay, I made it. Been away 2 days cause I had company.

Now, I can sit back and relax and catch up before enjoying the race.

I did hear on Sirius this morning that Shrub won both races yesterday. Three Shrub wins would be like starting a hedge of shrubs wouldn’t it?

[SouthTexas]

LOL, scroll back up, and it may be a forest before the day is done.

[Wneighbor]

Yep, I caught just a tiny bit of the truck race yesterday. When I had to turn it off there were about 20 laps to go. Was obviously going to be a Shrub truck day even at that point barring anyone taking him out. So, wasn’t too surprised to hear about the NW too.

He must be running nitrous in those things!!! LOL

[SouthTexas]

Makes you wonder doesn’t it?

[Wneighbor]

Yeah, it does. I’m purdy sure if somebody would put me in a car I’d beat him though. Might have to kill him first but I’d beat him.

[WSGilcrest]

I should make the start of the race today. I can sit here and paint some new cars! :)

[tubebender]

Did you get rain last night? We may have had .2 as It stayed just off shore here on Humboldt Bay...

[07Jack]

Hey congrats to you and any other Freeper Kyle Busch fans on what's been a dominant weekend thus far. I'm not a big fan of Kyle, but my treacherous-rogue 10 yr old son is; so I kinda have a rooting interest. It looks like the 48 is the car to beat today but sometimes you can't deny momentum (or Jack Roush at this track!)
Have a great race today folks!
GO 33!!

[glock rocks]

Fox race coverage starts at 5pm Eastern. (!?)

Guess I’ll go pretend to do something useful in the kitchen for a while.

[WVKayaker]

...a -135 moneyline favorite ...

It's going to be a good race, I'm sure! I'll put my money on Busch for a threefer!

From nascar.com...

...Earnhardt has displayed his own considerable talent at times in the sport, but Sunday wasn't one of them. And after watching Earnhardt wander aimlessly down pit road, searching in vain for a pit stall that he wouldn't find on the first pass during a scheduled stop on Lap 56, to say he currently seems to lack laser-like focus is a massive understatement.

If you think 200 mph is fast how about 1000 MPH
