NASCAR - USG Sheetrock 400 at Chicagoland - Sun. 7/9 at 3 pm EDT on TNT
NASCAR.com ^

Posted on 07/06/2006 1:53:15 PM PDT by steveegg

It's the second half of the season, so TNT (and to a lesser extent, NBC) return to the TV mix. This half will be NBC's swan song for NASCAR and TNT's swan song for the Busch Series.

We've got a full slate of racing this weekend, as the Busch boys and Buschwhackers run a 3/4ers race Saturday afternoon, and the Truck boys and girls run over at Kentucky Saturday night.

(Dick Trickle is not a medical condition)

But he is running the Miller Lite Nationals this year, and this time he has a new late model.

Sheetrock 400? Say, Harry Gant wouldn't happen to be the honorary Grand Marshall, would he?

LOL. It'd be cool if he could take some time off from teaching his grandkids how to build a garage (or whatever) and appear at an event or two. I miss the old Skoal 33 bandit.
