There just ain’t no telling with Nascar.

I’m for letting him celebrate for the one he missed ten years ago.

If they’re going to be free with the fines, they need to start on those that lost hoods and decklids and anyone else that lost parts on the track during the myriad of wrecks and then came back out.

Just one opinion though.

[Roccus]

Thank you. I’ll correct it on the list I post Sunday.

[Roccus]

Boy did I screw up my C team. For some reason (known only to God) I didn’t like seeing the blank spaces on my team’s roster....so I just picked the first drivers on all the lists.....about a month ago. Completely forgot about changing them for qualifying!!!!! Now I have two DNQs for my C team.......sigh......

[WestCoastGal]

This week you can still change your drivers until before the race, it’s the benefit of Daytona -use it or lose it :P

[Roccus]

That’s what I thought too. But when I click on any C list driver, nothing happens.

[Roccus]

Just figured out how to do it. I had given up too soon. (Need more coffee?) Thanks for getting me to try some different stuff. ;)

[Roccus]

Also, just now learned how to shuffle drivers on and off the bench.

I may just be an old crank who hates change, but I liked the old format a lot better than this one.

(Ruts are greatly under-rated......I like being in a rut..... so long as I can get out of it at MY choosing)

[Roccus]

tagline change post

[WestCoastGal]

I’m missing the column that used to say where they are starting - when I’m too lazy to look it up that was a huge time saver.

[Roccus]

I think tubebender posted it.

Lemme check, I’ll get back to you shortly

[Roccus]

It wasn’t tubebender.....it was YOU!!!

LOL I know that - but, Yahoo used to specify where my fantasy picks were starting. Now I don’t see it. It was easier when you have to bench a few just before the race to sometimes choose the one who qualified in top ten etc.

Now I’m off to work BBL> GO JR

Danica had a hell of a qualifying run yesterday, will be interesting to see how she does.

[Roccus]

Realized that AFTER I hit “post” but........

[AGreatPer]

Final practice coming up now on SPEED.
Last chance to check your car out.
Risk is you wreck your car.

[Roccus]

From the post wreck interview the other day, Jr. sounded as if he didn’t even WANT to practice that day.

[SouthTexas]

Political bump, I know it's not supposed to be here but...

Steveegg's No Runny Eggs is linked to a Powerline update on the Wisconsin union battles.

[SouthTexas]

More No Runny Eggs if you scroll down.

I had the same thing - caught it when I got the e-mail alert. Hopefully everyone gets those reminders
