I'm a Highway Star....???:rolleyes:
ENOUGH ALREADY!
.
God, I hate it when TV shows take a song and run it into the ground. I loved it the first time I heard it, in it's new in-CAR-nation, now it's simply annoying!:rolleyes:
--------------------------
Marcos Ambrose does needs his own captioning scroll.:D
:cool:
HEY!
Who's that guy inna BIG CowBoy Hat wiffa BIG Feather?
CONGRATS & Welcome back to Victory Circle ...
Don't be such a stranger.
:)
Did'ja notice, even ole Tony wasn't too upset to be Only #2 this time.
:D
Dat was my boy!
I was driving back from Atlanta for the entire race. I started listening on lap 4 and kept finding new stations that carried it all the way home. Except until that final caution! So I missed the green, white, checker restart. Then it took me a couple more hours before I got home and could check the results online. YAY Kasey and RPM!
Way to go Kasey, you drove one fine race. Richard will be proud.:D:D
Me too.
Who is gonna fess up for praying to SCJ this week!
I love road races but hate Sears Point.....I refuse to call it by the corporate name!;)
Too narrow for racing passes, but very good for smoke screens!:D
You can't be upset about the King returning to Victory Lane for the first time in 10 years. Good day for The Dinger and Idiot sadler too. If only Reed hadn't broken that sway bar...
Good runs for Tony and Denny too! Will watch the race in the morning, but it was exciting on the radio!
Moe...I can't believe you didn't pull over to listen to the end of the race! (I wound...and have!!)
Kongrats to Kasey! I quit watching with about 40 to go and was kinda bored after Mark's incident anyway.
You are a bigger person than I to admit to that!Quote:

Of course, once I went down the hill to his house, I lost the AM signal on the radio. I was going to his house to check on his cats. I could only find one of the two of them. I did try to turn the TV on, but they had something else hooked up to it, so I couldn't view the satellite signal. I would have left, except I was searching everywhere for Linus. I never found him and was almost out of my mind with worry. They came home the next day and he had escaped by destroying the dryer vent. He is fine. But due to extenuating circumstances, I didn't get to listen to or watch the end of the race. I will be watching via TrackPass RaceView later this week while listening to Kasey's scanner. :D

"Dang it.....WHERE'S the REMOTE?
NASCAR IS ON AND I LOST THE RADIO SIGNAL!!!"
Cut to shot of cats peering from behind furniture-
Bewildered cats hiding behind the couch, watching the NASCAR fan.
Fan picks up every remote on the coffee table before realizing that a sibling with common sense would have left a note explaining how to get the races on the satellite.
Linus, sensing the NASCAR fan is not paying attention, makes his escape via the lint filter....
:D
OH My!! :p
Shade of adventures past at Unka Pat's Howze!
OMG! Been there, dun that ... had the lead in the movie ...Quote:

Were you watching from across the street??
I know NASCAR fans.:D
Dear SCJ,
it's really really hot here in Memphis today (101 for a high, and we'll be tailgating). I got kinda ill just watching practice yesterday, and that was in the shade of the media suites and with a semi-frequent breeze. Keep everyone in the stands and the pits safe today since our seats for the race are not in the shade and since MMP got too cheap to rent the lights to have a night race anymore :rolleyes:
amen
The heat is one reason why I've never gone to a truck race in Nashville, despite having tickets for several years. Please be careful and drink plenty of fluids and wear lots of sunscreen! It doesn't look like people want to sit out in the heat for qualifying.
SCJ,
Thanks for listening!
101? Holy SPF 40!:eek:
I would have officially melted.
You are dyed-in-the-wool fans!:D
i watched about 6 trucks qualify and said "screw this!". I had already missed Colin Braun's run anyway. I couldn't find any place in the shade that I could see the track from so I just hung out in the bathroom soaking my t-shirt with water getting ready to go to the Fanwalk area. I kept pretty cool while doing that but still got a little sunburned (not bad). Hung out in the shade after that until race time. It wasn't too bad by the time we got to our seats. There was a steady breeze blowing and nobody was sitting in the row behind us so I just moved to that row so I wouldn't have to be squeezed between the rest of my party. I had a soft sided cooler filled with water and a towel soaking in it to put around my neck, so I stayed relatively comfy. MRN radio said it was 99 when they started broadcasting.
I'm uploading pics at the moment, I'll post a link when I'm done sorting through them.
edit: ....as soon as I can FIND them. I effin' hate Vista:mad:
pictures! Approximately 130. First 30 were from Friday, rest from Saturday.
Sorry 'bout the blurriness of driver intros- there were a couple wasps that insisted on buzzing around right where I was standing so I wasn't fully focused on focusing the camera. I'm not allergic or anything I just didn't want a wasp sting adding to my sunburn, LOL

You got some great pictures in Memphis!
Not quite the way I thought Joey would get his first win, but Congrats to the #20 team! Good call Zippy!
When it started raining and Joey was out front, I just kept hoping they would bring them in a park before he ran out of gas. From his in car, 1 more lap, and he would have been on pit road and Jeff would have won. Much happier to see JGR in Victory Lane!
A BIG congrats to the new #20...Joey Logano! Great strategy:D
Great race tonight.
The neighbors are wondering why I am yelling, "GET OUT OF THE CAR!" over and over again.:eek:
Kyle,
KYle.........
KYLE!!!!!!!!!:eek:
That's what you are going to get with restrictor plates. It happened at Talladega with Carl. It is going to happen unless NASCAR does something to fix it. I hate Dega and Daytona races! H-A-T-E!
Didn't I tell you RP's are the work of the devil?Quote:

Nasty finish!
My son was at the race and was so disappointed that Martin crashed out that he left the race not long afterwards. Crazy kid!
Me too, I went outdoors, took a nap and watched the end.Quote:

Kyle, Kyle, Kyle.... I really don't like ya, but I still hope you're OK (even though you caused it)
It was a great race watching Tony, Denny and that other Gibbs driver dominate all night long! What a finish! I hate to see Kyle get jacked up that way, and take 3 hard hits, but was happy the #14 in Victory Lane!!!
Anna, how is Mark? Probabbly not showing Tony a lot of love today....
SCJ?
Thanks for keeping everyone safe.
BUT? Picking on Kyle again.
My only thought as soon as the wreck was over and everyone was O.K.?
"No interview with Kyle tonight." I can understand his anger, but it shows he has a long way to go when it comes to accepting failure. He expects the adulation and people to follow his victories!
Even a few words to a reporter wouldn't be too much to ask for? On second thought - maybe it's for the best he doesn't speak. If he crushes guitars when he wins?:eek:
I was upset that they never told us anything about Kasey. He had Kyle land on top of him and then Jeff Burton slam into the driver's side. At least I had heard Kole, Kasey's cousin and spotter, tell Kenny Francis that Kasey had gotten out of the car. Then RPM Twittered that he was alright. TNT could have done a little better covering that aspect of the crash instead of all the replays saying how "amazing" it was.
Agreed!Quote:

That's racing.:eek:
I agree with that. They didn't mention Kasey, Jeff, Joey, or anyone else that was involved in the wreck. Yes, Kyle's part was most the "spectacular" part, but there was a lot of guys wrecking behind himand taking hard hits. It was twitter for me too, to find out if everyone came out okay.Quote:

AMEN!:D
I beg to differ.

I'm glad you are happy, but I REALLY do not like him at all!
