Thank you! I was at a loss for words...
So was I. That was the best I could come up with.......rather lame though.
No No No! Please don’t spoil the moment for me Rocc. It was eloquent and perfectly nuanced...
Was this drummed up by Brian Farce and Does she have a record of this in IRL...
Seems a bit contrived. Radio sports guy reported this am that Danica had an interview where she stated she was a beter driver than Jr.
I hope to hell she is not that shallow!
Did we post the baby Edwards news on this thread?
I’m too tired to look.
I posted it on the Fontana thread at the end.
NE sure will do just about anything to stir up trouble!
Aunt Judith Anne posted the Baby news up thread...
Yes, Judith Anne gave us an Exclusive. ;-)
Neon Garage Entertainment
For the fourth consecutive year, the Neon Garage at Las Vegas Motor Speedway will serve as the hub of the weekend’s activities.
Located in the middle of the track’s infield, the garage will give racing fans a unique mix of entertainment, racing and access to the drivers and teams.
“It’s been phenomenal,” Jeff Motley of Las Vegas Motor Speedway said. “It’s something race fans can’t get anywhere else.”
“The garage draws the fans closer to the drivers and adds some entertainment to the event,” he said.
Frank Joseph of Steve Beyer Productions, the man in charge of orchestrating the weekend’s entertainment, said an emphasis has been put on spreading the fun throughout the track.
“We took some of the entertainment off the stage and let them wander around,” Joseph said. “Instead of Elvis on stage, he’ll be meeting and greeting with NASCAR fans.”
The same is true for the jugglers, balloon artists, mimes and other entertainers.
“We want them to come to the fans,” Joseph said.
This year’s live bands will feature more rock acts. But there will be steady streams of country bands, 80s bands and tribute acts.
“We’ve got a lot of variety,” Joseph said. “But we wanted to roll out some more bands, so we’ll do some more rock and roll.”
The Sprint Cup Series race day will include a 45-minute performance by country artist Sean Patrick McGraw at 9:45 a.m., and Human Nature will take the garage’s main stage at 11 a.m.
Kim Kardashian is scheduled to give the honorary command for drivers to start their engines, and Terry Fator will sing The Star-Spangled Banner.
While the atmosphere in the Neon Garage has become that of a three-day music-and-entertainment festival, fan access to the NASCAR teams, their pits and, most importantly, the drivers, is the goal.
“It’s all about the fans wanting to get closer to the drivers and teams,” Motley said. “It gives them the opportunity to see just what kind of a team sport NASCAR really is and how much work the crews make to their cars.”
Joseph said the fans love the pits, and his job is to add to the experience as much entertainment as he can.
“The biggest draw is the cars,” he said. “That’s where their attention is paid, to see the drivers in the garages. It’s why they pay the admission. But there will be no shortage of fun around them.”
Since we are traveling lite tomorrow and the only thing that’ll be on my lap in ‘Vegas is Mrs. Happydog, (not a ‘puter) I am trusting you, since you are an honorable man, trustworthy, brave & have forgotten last years final rankings, to change my drivers for me after qualifying.
In the era of “hope & change” “bi-partisanship” and “can’t we all get along” I know your kindness and generosity will win out over that little horned figure sitting on your shoulder whispering “Cook, Said, Travis & Kvapil”.
Can you do this for me, ole coastal buddie?
Like my Mother used to say... Tork, You can have your drivers or you can go the LVMS but you can’t do both.
Since my glass is always half-full I’ll assume the rain & fog has got you in the doldrums and once the sun shines I know you’ll have a change of heart.
If you stay fogged in I’ll probably be able to buy someones laptop down there for $20.00 after they drain and lose their portfolio assets.
I’ll still send ya some photos....Saturday looks pretty bleak in ‘Vegas w/rain and highs in the 50’s. Sunday’s forecast is for sunshine w/high at 61.
Can’t your grown up rug rat change them or you should be able to change them with your iPhone or ask the concierge at your Budget 6 motel to borrow his Curry powered office computer?
You forgot to give a “spoiler” alert.
The ‘rat is too busy w/work but I’ll try to curry a favor from the star studded staff.
“C” drivers this year are a challenge, to say the least. I can forecast that come race # 19 players are going to say bad things and sweat bullets.
B list was my bread and butter last year. Once Marcos hit his stride, C list provided me withh good points also. This year, the Mountain Williams are gonna hafta look long and hard at both B & C. It ain’t gonna be as easy as last year.
