Anyone see/hear the Interview that DP gave to Dan Patrick of ESPN?
Dan asked DP about steroids and if she used, won a race and didn't get caught, would she do it?
She said, "Yes". But, of course, she was joking and had to apologize!
--------------------
Look at who I found in my back yard!
He really does drink and drive.....
Separately, of course!:D
I'm so sad to be sitting here getting ready to watch the race on TV. Cincy'sMom was so thoughtful. She sent me her tickets to the race. I thought I'd be able to use them, but I couldn't find ANYONE to go with me! WAH!!!!!
I am looking forward to seeing the race tomorrow with the start of double file restarts!
Did anyone watch the IRL prerace program?
Shaq ONeal tried to change a tire on one of the cars. That dude made the tires look like bicycle tires.
He picked one up over his head with one hand and held it stright up.
That dude is a monster!
I personally found the smashing, or rather attempted smashing, of the trophy Gibson guitar to be very rude and classless. I'm not nearly as sad now that I wasn't at the race.

I am waiting for the day that KB passes up a "winning" interview.:eek:
-----------------------------
IRL?
The commercial with the guys dressed up in heels and skirts working on Dumbica Patrick's ride is really offensive to me. NO, not for men dressing up in women's clothing-It's the double standard.
If it was Tony Stewart, Helio or ???? that did a commerical where it was an all woman team pitting THEIR car, everyone and their mom would be screaming about sexism, portraying women in a subservient light and calling for apologies from everyone, top to bottom.
As it is, the other commercial, where she is signing men's 'cleavage' shows what a idiot she is and how she will do anything to promote herself instead of focusing on winning more than one race.
Tony or LOL, Kyle.....get some Hooter's chickie babes to pit your car in a commercial...show cleavage and the gals bending over and see how fast you get black flagged.....:eek:;)
Her other commercials/promotions?
If DP was my daughter I'd gently take her aside and tell her that she has no business running around half naked before she earned the right to do so.
NO, I could not drive an IRL car-God has other plans for me!
----------------------------
I just saw the commerical all the way thru, Check out the crotch shots on the pit crew.
:confused::rolleyes:
just watched the NW race. Yeah the guitar thing was kinda disrespectful. I don't care what it's shaped like, it's still a trophy. I mean, would you smash the Martinsville grandfather clock?:rolleyes:
KB is not a rock star.Quote:

Why not start an new tradition?
Make a nice box for it and send it around like the Stanley Cup? It stays a few weeks at each member of the team's house?
I am going to put it to the band saw and sign if for the crew members.:rolleyes:
Auction it off, donate some dollars to charity and split the rest with the crew?
Put a premium on it, like 25,000 so no one gets ripped off.
--------------------------
Here's the deal,
At the end of one day in the not-to-distant-past, some poor idiot that works at Gibson put the finishing touches on that guitar.
He stopped, sat back for a second and called the rest of the shop over to check it out. They picked it up, made like they were rocking out, smiled, laughed, all while holding it up and looking at it from every angle-Just to make sure that it was a 'trophy' that could be admired by everyone who saw it and they would be hard pressed to find anything wrong with it.
THey packed that sucker up, slapped a few high fives and got ready to tune in on Saturday Night.
Sitting on the couch was this poor shmoe beaming with pride and saying, "Dude, I built...............WTF?"
-----------------------------
It showed disrespect and stupidity.
Had he said that he would cut it up, signed and given out the parts, I would have had more of a "Well, that was kinda cool...". Busting it up the way he did was not cool.
Did you see Sam Bass holding the trophy guitar before the race? In addition to the work that went into making the guitar, Sam does the artwork for each of them too. Classless indeed.

I didn't know who Sam Bass was! Thanks for the info!

KB obviously did not care, it showed in the pre race interview.:(
:eek:
Tony WHO ???
Wow!
:D:D:DQuote:

Sorry you weren't able to use the tickets Moe. I can understand not wanting to go alone...although I have before and it really isn't too bad.

Can someone PaLeeze 'splain the "smashing the guitar" tail??
I can piece together that the race trophy was a custom-built Sam Bass Guitar ...
so why or how did it get busted up by The Shrub?
:confused:
he swung it around and smashed it on the ground a couple times like a rock star.
He said he promised if he ever won at Nashville he'd give each member of the team part of the guitar trophy. He thought if he hit it on the ground it would smash in a ton of pieces that members of the team could have. It didn't work that way.

The complete story.
---------------------
Just a little side note?
Tossed it aside?
Hmmm, that sounds like he really wanted to give everyone a piece.
