Bobby Labonte is a good choice. Very good looking man in my opinon ;)

When Martin started doing all the switiching around with sponsers and teams I just went and bought a couple of NASCAR seat cushions. Now I don't have to worry about who I might be rooting for since I have so many fav drivers..lol

Gosh, I hope I get to go to a race this year. I want to go to Bristol again so bad. Martin isn't racing there though and I like to go to ones where Martin is racing. Of course Matt does good at Bristol so that works for me!

T. J. Simers, AH and writer for the El Lay Times shadowed CE this week for the paper.

He made a bet with CE in case he won.

A Children's Hospital in L.A. (for kids with cancer) is now the proud owner of a trophy from the AAA 500-signed by Carl Edwards.

Hey, you did good! I really like it. I still want that pretty green grass and wish that was how my backyard looked :rolleyes: . Thanks for posting the page, girlfriend!

Amy, you really got some great pictures. Love the one you got of Martin. Man, that Bobby Labonte is good looking! I certainly have a thing for him!...lol

Thanks Amy! I went back and checked them all out. Like I said you really did get some great shots. I passed your photo link on to Brandon so he could see the Mark Martin pics.

Mark had a good qualifying run for Vegas yesterday....#3, and Carl is outside Pole (#2). But alas, it is Joe Gibb's Racing on the Pole! Who-hoo!!! (Dang it Kyle, it kills me to cheer for you!)

If you can't beat them, put a bumper into them. :D

How did you get that MARK on your bumper?

Any fight between two drivers after the race. :eek:

I was wondering the same thing!!

Some hard hits. Poor Tony! But Denny is back ont he lead lap. Come on Denny and Kyle!

I did forget, there is a secnd * to the ABH rule....it doesn't apply to Nationwide series, since those cars run out of Junior's garage. Good run Mark!

I never get tired of seeing CE do the flip.

------------

Another thing about the COT.

I have never seen so many cars get sideways and be saved. The oversteer the drivers do is remarkable-but that has the possibility of turning a pretty save into a bad crash.

JG dodged a bullet.

Kasey Kahne and the gals in those commercials...

Two words.

I should upload the flip that I recorded from Nashville.

YaY for 4th in points! Way to go Kasey! He hung in there like a trooper even though he was sick with the flu. Love the new Allstate commercial with the dancing dream.

Dang, I love that back flip! Get busy with that new page, Anna :p .

Saturday it was Martin and today it was Edwards so you all know I'm a happy girl this weekend. :p ;) :D

I'm okay with Carl winning occasionally...but this is getting old already!!

On the other side, another tough day for cupcake and twikie (aka Johnson and Gordon!) Gotta litke that. And Denny got back in the Top 10 with a 9th. Not too bad! Tough points day for Tony though.

Although, since Robin likes him I have to TRY to be happy...lol!

Hmmm...He won, but is it a Tarnished Victory?

I think I'd much rather "Twinkie" (that's Gordon right? LOL!) won and not had such a terrible wreck.

I think I'll hold off till Tuesday to make that scrapbook page:p:D

Tarnished???

No ... maybe a bit *smudged* ... :rolleyes:

Sez NASCAR >>>
NASCAR spokesman Ramsey Poston said Edwards' car did not fail post-race inspection.
But inspectors did find something amiss.
"We had an issue in post-race inspection with the 99. The lid on the oil reservoir encasement, or the oil tank box, was off," Poston said. "So we're going to take the 99 back to the [NASCAR] Research and Development Center in Concord, N.C., and if there are any actions that need to be taken, those will be taken and announced next week."

Lemmie get this straight ...
The 99 Car didn't "FAIL" the inspection ...
It just didn't exactly "PASS" it so good ...

This is starting to get old ...
Used to be there were two Inspection outcomes --- Ya PASSED it or ya FAILED it.

New there's THREE outcomes??
* Ya Pass
* Ya Fail ..
* Ya "almost passed" / sorta failed a lil bit / had an *ISSUE* ...

GOOD GRIEF! :mad:
Did he "ALMOST Win" or "ALMOST" Loose??

Tuesday they'll fine him for taking an UN-Earned BackFlip!

:rolleyes:

I bristle at the thought that NASCAR isn't on the up and up.

You have a sport that was started by men outrunning the law with illegal booze in the car, They let Dave Marcus drive around with leather wingtip shoes on until he retired, Let guys named FATBACK and HUMPY participate,
Let a cigarette company sponor the sport and worse yet, let a beer company sponsor the junior circuit for a while. Drivin' an drinkin'! :eek:

Did I mention Enzyte and Viagra as car sponsors? :D

It probably was that pesky photographer again!

I'm not a Robby Gordon fan, but I am very glad that the points penalty was overturned. I think that was a fair decision.

What's happened to the appeals process? It's actually worked in favor of teams this week. Wonder if the 99 team is going to attempt to press their luck next.
03-06-2008, 07:44 AM
Cincy'sMom

I'm not crazy about 'Recking Robby on the track, but from everything I've read, it is a good guy off the track. And he has done amazing as single car team, so it would be a shame to see him loose so much for a clerical error.

But it is interesting that Nascar, gave back the points and lifted the suspension, but at the same time increased the fine for the crew chief. Almost like they are saying we aren't wrong, but will do something to help you out...a penalty you can better weather. Not sure I like that precident.

As for Carl. Man, I hate that that happened, cause now I am going to have to lower my opinin of Rousch. Be careful or you'll be up there with the Hendrick cheaters!!!

It's about time you seen how Carl and Rousch are :p

I've been wanting to share this for a long time, but kept forgetting :o

I got Tony's replica car from his win at Indianapolis. Now I just need to get a nice box to put it it!

A totally inapporpriate comment but...

What does the underwear say? :eek:

----------------

Robby Gordon raced too much off-road. Watching him crash, roll over and crash again was alot of fun. I think he believes racing ain't...unless you crash. :eek:

----------------

What I want to know is-What advantage do you get for leaving the top off the oil tank? I know it's a safety issue, but can't they be a little more specific as to why they are penalizing drivers/teams?

I think I saw a mention that it was a major Performance Advantage -
like a 25 - 50 horsepower BOOST to the car.
Same article said you could SEE the uncovered tank in an in-car camera shot -
can't say *I* noticed it; but I have no clue what I'm looking for, either.
As with other NASCAR "Rules" ... this one is a mystery to me.

/s/ Just a Dumm Phan :cool:

Lol

I was already prepared for that if I made it up there....LOL.

A little too much orange for me but I have to say you look so freakin' cute! I love that purse. That is really cool. I would love to find one with Matt or Carl's number. Wonder if they have any of those on ebay.

The car is pretty cool too.

I hate that I didn't make it up there today. Hey, I gave it a try though! Stupid blizzard!!! The roads are still crappy from it. I did make it 30 miles down the road before I decided that it was a stupid thing to be doing...lol.

Hmmm, now Richard even has me wondering what the undies say..lol. Do they match the rest of the outfit ;)

Uhhh ohhh I have to get off of here. Its just too much orange and it is making me feel sick to my stomach. Blah!

:) :p ;) :D

They do sell Smoke thongs.

And about the Carl Edwards' situation, when that cover comes loose, it allows air to escape from under the car, creating more downforce. It isn't exactly the oil tank top. There is a 5 gallon container that holds the oil and that sits behind the driver. That compartment has a cover over it. That is what came loose. And when it is off, you can see straight through to the track. That is how the air escapes. I hope that makes some sense.

Hmm, last time I saw a smoking thong...forget it. :rolleyes:

Do the Kyle Busch thongs give you a miserable PITA? :confused:

Thanks for the clarification. Makes perfect sense now... They just said OIL TANK COVER I thought they were talking about the oil tank CAP.

-------------------------

OH LORD.

I just saw the AFLAC commercial. The AFLAC duck driving the car?
Back in December I was driving on the Golden State Freeway and hit a snowstorm of white pieces of paper in the road.

Some one had dropped a case of toilet paper in the road and it was just like that in the that commercial...I so have pics of it somewhere!
It was pretty funny.

Love the outfit, Anna!! I think I can match that!! We could really drive Robin crazy with orange!!!

Good run for the Gibbs boys today! All in the top 15! And I missed it all. Can you believe not a single TV in the Chicago airport had the race on (or at least in the terminal I was in!). :mad: :rolleyes: :eek: But somehow, I survived!

Awww, Anna you are so freakin' bad with the underwear comment...lol.

I don't want a "Double Dose" of the "Double As". What am I going to do with you two. I know it sure would be nice if I had someone that was on my side.

Oh well, at least Anna did say that the man in orange is a crybaby. HA!

Anna I actually think the page is really good. I know you probably didn't think I would say that with all the "tarnish" stuff on there, but HEY it is history. Cool page.

In true Tony fashion, he may be a bit over the top on his comments about the tires...but since Jr, Gordon, Newman and others are all saying a watered own version of the same thing, I can't call him a cry baby in this instance. (oh yes, he often is, I know that!)

March 29, the next generation of Wallace takes the track with the truck. Go Chrissy!!!!

Did anyone see the video of the tire that came loose on the freeway?

It was on the national news today-the tire crossed the median and hit a SUV traveling in the other direction.

Police are looking for suspects and Tony Stewart's name came up.

An irate Stewart told a reporter that he was going to change all of the Goodyear tires on his personal vehicles because of the crappy showing on Sunday.

:eek:

Run Tony, Run!

Not the first time he has threatened that. I think he said the same thing last year.

Either all his cars should have Firestones by now, or it is an empty threat!!
