Please pray on this day, and every day, for our Patriot Armed Forces standing in harm's way around the world in defense of our liberty, and for the families awaiting their safe return.
Now you’ve gone and done it!
That sounds like the Church parking lot...
Testing hints at chaotic Daytona 500
—
remember. change is gooood. ;-}
Instead of repaving Daytona a couple of years ago they should have just left it dirt like to GODs. Now put the Bibles down as that’s the Good Old Days...
Then he broke a hose clamp which blew a CV boot, which blew a CV joint. Not doing real good this year.
Speeds top 200 mph at Daytona test session

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (AP)—NASCAR is making gains toward breaking up the two-car tandem racing that has taken over at Daytona and Talladega, but the fix sent speeds soaring over 200 mph Friday in a test session.
Kurt Busch posted the fastest lap of the day at 206.058 mph, but was being pushed around Daytona International Speedway in a two-car tandem by Regan Smith. Kyle Busch was clocked at 205.813 while pack racing.
NASCAR has traditionally shied away from the 200 mph mark, and four-time series champion Jeff Gordon said he approached series officials about the speeds because he was certain the cars would be slowed. He said he was surprised when NASCAR indicated it was comfortable over 200 mph.

Danica should be comfortable.

Bayne strives to match Tebow in faith, values
http://sports.yahoo.com/nascar/news;_ylt=Ajx5ZBcYX3mubuc98LgiFqvov7YF?slug=ap-nascar-bayne-tebow
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (AP)—Daytona 500 winner Trevor Bayne said Friday he admires Tim Tebow and wishes he displayed his faith as strongly as the quarterback does.
Bayne was the upset winner in a thrilling finish last year in the Daytona 500, and the 20-year-old Baptist has used his newfound fame as a platform for his religion. He said he talked to Tebow over the phone in the whirlwind media tour following his victory and that the Denver quarterback gave him useful advice.
The two met in person briefly at the ESPYs and have since exchanged occasional text messages.
“He gave me a lot of great advice because he’s been through things that I had not yet got to, and now I’ve experienced them and his advice really helped out,” Bayne said. “Tebow is a great guy. He is everything that he says he is, and I think that’s what’s so awesome because we see so much in our world of people talking up a good game … but they are not what they say they are. I think he really is.
“It’s definitely somebody I look up to and I’d like to wear my faith on my sleeve a little more like he does.”
Of course Kurt is relaxed. Doesn’t have to do all the off season work for sponsors’ commercials and PR. Compared to what he’s used to, with major race teams.
Will be interesting to see if he/Phoenix Racing can get significant sponsorship as the season progresses. Yahoo article sez that he has Tag Heuer for a 3 race deal. Fine, Daytona and 2 more. Can’t see Kurt as a start&parker on a 4th tier team. “No bucks, no Buck Rogers!!” (Quote from “The Right Stuff”)
It’s the ugly side of racing,, sponsors. not enough of them.
I wish I could afford Tag Heuer.. nice watches. I seen he’s hoping to catch a better ride in 2013.. ya can see this as penance or as an opportunity to rekindle a career
Now I know why my son left town this weekend...
Now is it 48 or 49???
Did your son actually head south for the race?
Well he went south but not that far south. He is looking for shop software that only crashes 2 times a day instead of the current 4 or 5
I got #777!!! I have plenty of Okra thank you
Well that’s a good thing, that he’s not going that far south.
Don’t really recommend going south of the Rio Grande right now, much less that far down.
What type is he looking for, other than one that doesn’t crash? (To do what?)
You should have bought a lottery ticket yesterday!
