he wasn't gushing with joy Friday night, but he wasn't particularly rude either. Obviously a little frustrated but not overboard or whiny.
Your right Amy, he really wasn't a big Tony fan that night or really any night any more:rolleyes:Quote:

Kasey third, Tony fouth and Denny 5th...not a bad night at all:D
I thought you said Mark awsn't a big Tony fan anymore...figured that sealed the deal :)Quote:

I didn't like seeing the Bif fall out of the Top 12 though. Still 7 races to go. Who will make the chase?

ESPN? I guess. Like WTF is that all about?I just want to watch the racing!
Today especially! Mark on the pole!
----------------
SCJ,
At the risk of ticking everyone off...........ONE MORE TIME!!!
;)
Don't worry, Stock Car Jesus will have to split time between Football and Racing in a few weeks.
Get your prayers in before he gets too busy!:D
Mark's on the pole again.
Hope he follows it up with a win.
5 wins for the 5
would keep hope alive
he'll finish '09 in top 10
(yeah yeah I know it's top 12 now.... whatever:rolleyes:)

Remind him I could learn to like Formula 1 or those CRAZIES on the 2-Wheelers.
/s/ I can't see da Race :(
nascar.com has a live leaderboard on their homepage, if that helps. Or you can find your local MRN broadcast on the radio. They do a darn good job calling the races.
Been there andQuote:

shoot I still listen to MRN when I'm sittin' in the stands watchin', LOL
For some reason my local country station is airing music instead of carrying the MRN feed like they usually do. I'm trapped with no updates until I can get home and watch.
Thank you SCJ for second place.
I didn't want to seem greedy.:eek::D
I rushed home and got to watch the last 9 laps, and I guess that was better than nothing. Still peeved that I couldn't find it on the radio for the drive home. Drove like a bat out of Hades hoping Mark was still in 1st or 2nd when I got to the TV. ESPN Radio was broadcasting a friggin' baseball game.:mad:
I'm with you Richard, all of this channel changing is annoying as all get out. At least when it was on Fox it was usually on Fox. My parents don't have cable but at least they could watch part of the races until they left for church.
A bit off topic from NASCAR, but.....
Please say a prayer for Felipe Massa (f-1 driver for Ferrari).
He was hit in the head by a spring from Reubens Barichello's car during qualifying, went into a barrier at high speed, and is under medical sedation for multiple skull fractures.

John Surtsees' son was killed in the same manner not long ago.
http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/spo...cle6727505.ece
Not a good week for racing.
Surtees's incident is most likely what lead to the suspension of Renault for the next race.
Fernando Alonso's pit crew didn't properly replace the tire on the car during a pit stop and it came off on the track.
http://uk.eurosport.yahoo.com/260720...-valencia.html
The worst part about the incident with Massa was that F-1 kept replaying the incident over and over. The in car cam on Massa's Ferrari caught the whole incident, from the spring hitting him, Massa losing consciousness, Massa coming to briefly, hitting the brakes, then hitting the barrier. They ran it in slow motion couple times, it really reminded me of the Theisman injury on MNF.
(For those who don't follow F-1, the feed broadcast on Fox and Speed here in the US is F-1's race feed with Speed's announcers calling the race. They talk about whatever Bernie's boys are feeding them)
Did you see Tony Kaanan catch fire after having fuel spilled on him? That was scary as well. All reports seem to indicate he is fine.
Another top 5 for Tony! And how impressive Joey, coming from dead last, battling it out with JPM, and finishing 12th!
Too bad Denny and Kyle had such a rotten day finishing 34th and 38th, Mark was a very unhappy man.
I have to say, watching it in person is much more fun than watching it on TV. The cars just go by too fast to see any more than a blur...200 mph, no wonder they're just a blur:eek:
Yep, we were there (we really missed you Amy), had a blast and wow what a gorgeous day it was! We did lots and lots of walking. If you ever go, don't wait to pick up your tickets there and by all means....get a parking pass!!!
As usual I took WAY too many pictures, but if you'd like to see them here's the link:

And I'll upload a few here.

There is a speed limit on pit road. This helps to insure the safety of the pit crew members that will be vulnerable while working on the cars during pit stops. The pit road speed is given and the drivers are given a 5 mph grace period. So if the speed limit is 55 MPH, they are allowed to go 60 MPH without incurring a penalty. If they go even .01 over 60 MPH, they are given a penalty, where they have to pass back down the length of pit road at the while maintaining the proper speed. NASCAR now electronically scores eac car's pit road speed by using timing and scoring areas. They judge a car's speed between each of those areas. JPM was scored going over the 5 MPH grace speed in two of those areas.

I am joking when I say this....
Any athlete who loses a loved on in the week before an event should not be allowed to participate in their event/sport.:eek:
How many times have you heard of someone losing a family member the week before the event, then winning?
When I heard that DH lost his grandma on the telecast I thought, "There is this week's winner!":eek:
Thoughts and prayers to his family and a huge congrats to him, too!
I barely had time to watch any Nascar coverage this weekend and did not know about Denny's grandma until after the race. I still had a feeling it was his week...wore my Denny Gear saturday and Sunday. I was out for today and had to go with Tony, but was still rooting Denny on. Way to go #11!
Tony had a bad day, but still got a top 10 out of it. Just frustrating that Jimmie had a bad day going too, and still got a top #15. Just once, can't they have a really bad day?
We're you able to come to the truck race in Nashville?
Rain delays are good for some people! I'm so happy Denny. It's been 50 races since he won...he definitely deserved it!
I'm sure Mark would agree with you wholeheartedly!Quote:

Hopefully he willhave a little more freedom with his vacation time next year...Quote:

Another rain delay, another win for one of my guys...I couldn't be happier:D
Way to go Tony and crew!
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah....
Never touch another man's visor.
There is nothing dignified about having to climb out your window when you are going to do road rage battle.:eek::confused:
poor Mark suffered from fuelish desires :(
lol, THAT was a good one, still on the bubble, but I have faith.Quote:

He won one over today!
The race was a blast! Wish I had been there Saturday too...although I was about 2 miles down the road enjoying some time on the lake. Can't complain about that!
There are 2 things that seem to make the MIS crowd go nuts, Junior leading, and Johnson running out of gas, and we had both :)
When it rains?
Time to pull out the red flag, pack up the car and go home.:(

Mark on the pole. THANK YOU STOCK CAR JESUS! Gimme 5!
I am so ready for him to retire.
Come on,Quote:

I am so tired of hearing Mark talk about how scared he was during qualifying. Really? I think you loose the right to be scared when you are doing it every week for 100 years!!!
Great race. Congrats David!!!
