Nascar 2009

[RICHARD]

I got my first issue of NASCAR SCENE today.

It had Kyle Busch on the cover. After I read the REALLY INTERESTING stories I gave it to my brother. I refuse to have anything with his name or picture on it in my house.

"I'll just run out and pick up this loose tire...no one will see me!"

If I was Mark Martin, I'd run over my pit crew at the next race, then turn the keys over to the owner and say, "No thanks!"

GIve the guy a CAR to race!

Good lord there's just no escaping Kyle Busch- he's friggin' everywhere! I can barely stomach watching any races this season. Most weekends have me wanting to throw something at the TV just to escape the crush all of the TV announcers have on Kyle . I still root for Colin Braun in the Truck series and Mark Martin in Cup, but Shrub/Rowdy/Wild Thang has totally ruined the Nationwide series for me since my favorite NW driver (Hamilton Jr) isn't driving this season.

yaaaaaay Mark!
Booooooo Kyle!

I think that the M&Ms I ate 5 years ago are making my stomach hurt.

Yep, he's everywhere. I am looking to his same pattern of last year, this year.

Win races, go away for the chase.

Somehow I survived the off weekend, but I am ready for some racing this weekend!

Saturday night, 6pm on ESPN 2 a Charity race at Bristol, celebrities race 15 laps to set the starting order for Legends...Junior Johnson, Harry Gant, Jack Ingram, Jimmie Spencer, Rusty Wallace. How fun will that be to watch?

wooo-hoooo, Mark on the pole again! Keeping all fingers and toes crossed that the car will hold up this time

I got an email from Direct tv saying that Hotpass was free to all this week.

[Moesha]

Hotpass has been free all year. So far they've had a channel with Kasey's team. Well, I'm not sure about Atlanta, because I was on vacation that week. My RaceView subscription expired and I'm going to try to go as long as I can using Hotpass and not resubscribing to RaceView. I'm hoping to make it to Phoenix. I just need them to have Kasey for Texas because I probably won't be home for Martinsville next weekend anyway.

I am a Kasey fan myself. The Kasey hotpass was great today. Kasey was definately up on the wheel the whole race. His car was good on the long run, but on that short run restart Johnson and Gordon were able to stay
out front. I don't think anyone could have caught Busch or Hamlin. Sorry
aTailOf2Kitties that Martin got stuck in Kasey's rear view mirror. I have a 100" HD projection screen so I ended up with two 50" screens to watch. It is great to not loose viewing during commercials.

[Moesha]

I agree about not losing viewing during the commercials. Today was the first day I've watched with only hotpass and not trackpass going also. I had hoped to make it until Phoenix before renewing my trackpass, but I don't think I'll be able to wait. Hotpass is good, but I hate not having the team audio during the commercials. They go to commercial so often during caution when the teams are talking strategy and adjustments. I really missed hearing Kasey talk with Kenny and Kole today. But I must say, the way they have hotpass now is MUCH better than the first couple years. I purchased it the first year and COULD NOT stand it. They had commentators talking about each of the featured hotpass drivers. It was terrible. What they have now is the best I've seen offered for free. I'm glad they've featured Kasey so often also.

I really like the new configuration of Bristol. They can actually race there now. And without running half the race under caution, it seemed to fly by!

[aTailOf2Kitties]

I don't mind that Mark got caught behind Kasey. I'm just happy he finished with the car in one piece! I was wondering what was gonna happen this week: engine, tire, accident, random piece of space junk mysteriously falling from the sky.... LOL.

I missed the last 75 laps but I recorded it. Not sure if I wanna watch it now that I found out you-know-who won, LOL

I'll have to tell my daughter what you said. She'll love it. That's exactly what I was thinking.

I am speculating that Kasey is getting more exposure because "BUD"
is a major sponsor for the race each week. They are probably asking
for him to be one of the drivers on Hotpass. Ok with me.

[Moesha]

This week the drivers that will be on hotpass for the race in Martinsville are Mark Martin, Jeff Burton, Carl Edwards and Dale Jr.
