Nascar 2007

I missed most of the race last night, but got home in time to see the last 10 laps. I was soooo hoping that Jeff would run out of gas. Oh well. Tony can win his next year and have one in a 3rd car manufacturer!


Robin, that picture of you and Brandon is fantastic!

I was just trying to figure out how far Charlotte was to see how bad of a drive it would be for us...I think it would be about 9 1/2 hours. A little more then Ralph would go for, me thinks. But airfare to Charlotte isn't awful. Some day...

Jimmie Johnson again...no one cares I guess

Ohhh and it looks like NICE Carl Edwards is starting to show his 'True Colors' according to team mate Greg Biffle...
Edwards sorry for tiff with Kenseth
Here's the video in case you haven't seen it

I was going to comment on all the Rousch racing going-on's but hadn't gotten to it yet. I thought it was really interesting the way Greg Biffle phrased that, "True colors showing through". He also suggested fans should maybe question weraing the 99 gear....

Nate Ryan also has an interesting article in the USA Today, today about the situation and some interesting comments from Kenseth. I don't have time to go it right now, but you can find it on-line, in the Sports section.

I cared, but the race was relegated to the digital channels because of the fires. I didn't even look for the results until 2:00 a.m. on Monday!

I'll catch the rerun!

That article has a link to You Tube with the video of what happened...and lots of other Nascar "fights". Some old ones too!!! I watched quite a few last night!

Like what kind of an ending was that?


Poor Jr. --
I think Teresa has some kind of explosive charge built into the engines and tires on the old #8. That is way too much bad luck for one driver in one season.


JJ, Thanks for thinking about the people in CA....

Carl.

Horseshoes and handgrenades.

Brent Musberger is the WORST announcer. I grew up with him here in El Lay..
Sorry about sharing my pain with all NASCAR fans.

[Cincy'sMom]

REAALLLY getting tired of the Jeff and Jimmie show! Think if I win next week, I could beat them up after the race? I'll be taking pledges for bail money!!!

Now, now Amy you wouldn't want to do that

But yeah, Mark's saying the same thing.
He just told me that he hates NASCAR. Better not, we're leaving for Arizona Friday!

Does Mark know yet?

Do you have a direct flight? What time are you leaving?

Yep he knows, I told him this past Sunday. Wanted to give him plenty of time to get over the nervousness of flying.

We do have a direct flight, out of Columbus. We leave this Friday at 12:50pm and get into Phoenix at 3:15. Then we come home Monday morning (also a direct flight).
Getting very excited...how about you?!

[Cincy'sMom]

I guess we won't be passing in the air....

We leave from Toledo at 6pm, lay over in Chicacgo and get into Miami at 11pm. Tuesday we would leave Miami at 10 something and get back around 5:30, again stopping in Chicago.

Definatly getting excited! Nervous (about the driving, not flying!), but excited!

[anna_66]

Amy I don't know who I'm more excited for, us or you!

We'll have a great time and I hope you do too. Good Luck Girl! You can do it!

[Cincy'sMom]

Thanks Anna!! You guys will love Phoenix!!

If you are headed out 10 from Phoenix, there are a few exits you can take to the track. Most take the first, so if you wait and take the 2nd, there may be less traffic. They come together eventually, so it doesn't make a big difference, but might save you a few minutes.

When you starting getting close to the track, stay in the left lane. That will get you the closest parking!
