California Speedway California Speedway has a history that you might expect a track just 50 miles from Hollywood to have.

The speedway sits on a 568-acre site that once hosted the first steel mill located west of the Rocky Mountains, Kaiser Steel Mill.

The mill produced the steel that helped build the Liberty ships used by the Allies to win World War II.

I just hope Kyle and Kurt give to “Junior” what the Allison brothers gave to Cale back in 69. That wreck yesterday was intirely Junior’s fault and he needs his Earnhart kicked!

I must say, the announcers have never sounded so good.

Of course, up here in our neck of the woods, Fox is having audio problems so all we can hear is the sound of the cars.

Now...if somebody would please shoot that idiot prarie dog.

See the temp. gauge on the manifold under the air filter? Know what it is for?







This has to be the coolest BBQ ever!!
