Phoenix International Raceway Hits A Grand Slam For Nascar Fans

The Honorable Maricopa County Sheriff, Joe Arpaio, approves of this Updating Doppler, which nearly guarantees suitable Pink Underwear weather:

Hoping to pull a good finish out of the season. My fantasy numbers have slid the past 4 weeks ! ouch!

[o_zarkman44]

Opening weekend of deer season. Won’t be watching this weekend unless I score the trophy early!

Go Mark!

[AZamericonnie]

Oh good! Many will be in fashion....:)

My beloved Eureka Ca looking west toward Costco, cross street is Broadway (101) at Wabash. Notice the absence of snow

My beloved Cottonwood Heights, Utah. Please notice the complete and utter lack of sunlight:

Thankfully we are still in a place with no traffic cameras. :)

JJ could not have had a worse race at Texas. I am rooting for Mark too, but a shame JJ was taken out that way.

I met Mark in the paddock area when he was helping with driving for the Roush Mustang GTO team at the 24 hours of Daytona. He seemed like a really nice guy. I also met Al Holbert, the Porsche 962 driver before he was killed in a plane crash going from qualifyig to see his son's little league baseball game. He seemed very serious, but respectful and polite to fans. Dereck Bell was very funny. Craig T Nelson the actor/driver was also very funny when I met him. A J Foyt, what a bass turd. When they run in Indy Cars, theirs is the only team I actually root against.

Dale Earnhart was one driver I wanted to meet, but never did.

Hey glock...I’ve never heard that song.

Love the vid!:)

[AZamericonnie]

Howdy SouthTexas...enjoy the race!

[glock rocks]

LOL. On the upside, I can take a peek at the cams first thing to decide if I want to drink coffee at the ranch and drive amongst fools when the road is white, or beat the plows out and drink coffee at work. In truth, it may be the only upside of arising at 0400 every day. I’m a lot less punctual in the summer :o)

[SouthTexas]

Have to, we’re almost out of races! :)

[SouthTexas]

Only time we have white roads is when Tri-County Narcotics does an over aggressive pit maneuver. :)

[blastdad51]

That's a big 10-4 !! We live in the San Diego area and drive over twice a year for the races. PIR is great !!! The wife and I love it.

[glock rocks]

You only need to exercise your iTunes muscles. I think I could make it to Reno with all the Brooks & Dunn I’ve got.

BTW, my daughter, bless her heart, introduced me to Rascal Flatts. I have some great kids.

Homeschool!

[tubebender]

That’s nothing. I made it from Eureka to Redding on one Jack Daniels...

[AZamericonnie]

Well...can you tell us about the surroundings there & your experiances?

The track at Avondale is actually quite a ways away from here I’ve never personally been to a race there...cep’t passing by on the way to your neck of the woods.:)

Do you motorhome or get a hotel?
