Nascar 2009

[Moesha]

I don't know how to describe it. It started out like most of the others and then he "got the spirit". It turned into something unbelievable. Imagine these following quotes with the vigor of a worked up preacher. "And now father god we lift up to you these asphalt warriors, these high octane gladiators who risk themselves for the thrill of the race. We pray that you would increase their talents and abilities and you would heighten their senses and awareness...we pray that you'll give them a race that we'll never forget. We pray god that we can have a 3-wide, door banging, drag race to the checkered flag today". Crowd is now worked up into cheers. "Father we believe that nothing but good things are going to come to pass as soon as these men hit the gas." It continued on that way getting more animated the entire time.

So, I'd bet Stock Car Jesus cinched up his belts and *squezed* in
right benind the pace car?

Prollly *jumped* the Green, too!

Maybe Gilliland's idiocy was triggered by the pre-race prayer?

Dear SCJ got a HUGE request for ya:
since I will be attending the NW race in Memphis next weekend, can you PLEASE keep that guy I don't like out of VL? And remind me to put fresh batteries in the camera this time so they don't go dead halfway thru...
AMEN

[RICHARD]

Hmm, I was kinda hoping for a St Vitus Dance during the invocation.

When you get your 15 minutes you have to use them all up.

Sometimes those minutes don't 'roll over'.

Yeah that Nationwide pre-race prayer was something...we were looking at each other, just waiting for the people to say Amen...and they did!

Fun times at the track....I'll get pictures up when I get home (still travelling for work), but dang it was cold!! We did get to meet Joey Lagano and Junior Johnson. Just to bad in the end, Jimmie had to win At least Kyle won the Nationwide race.

I'll tell ya, Mark was so excited that he got to see Kyle win in the Nationwide and we were right up front to see it!

It was great getting to meet Joey Logano. He's so tall he had to bend over to get a picture with me...lol.

Amy, I think Mark broke your streak of not seeing Jimmie win Hope you'll still go to the track with us Have a good trip home tomorrow.

It was FREEZING Saturday night. I thought we were in NC not in Ohio! Never really want to do that again!

Finally got all my 500+ pictures uploaded in case any one is interested.

Dear Stock Car Jesus,
Thank you for keeping Rowdy from winning at Memphis, but damn, did you have to scare me like that? I mean I almost lost faith in you altogether there towards the end. I reckon Brad Keselowski is a new believer now, welcome to the fold, Brad! LOL

your race lovin' servant,
aTO2K

ps I remembered to put fresh batteries in the camera, but they went dead right at the end. Thanks for lettin' me get a few pics of the winner before the camera totally died. I'll thin out the 300 pics I took and put most of them online for my SCJ brethren and sisers to enjoy in a little while.

can I get an amen?

[RICHARD]

can I get an amen?

Amen and extra batteries!!!

[RICHARD]

Did anyone see the Joe aGibbs invocation?

Now I tune in to see who and what does the opening ceremonies.

here are my Memphis pics, but they are all mixed up . They were in order on my camera but got scrambled when I put 'em on my laptop. Photobucket mixed 'em up even more. (((sigh))) I give up. I really don't want to go through and re-name all of them so they'll be in proper order.

WOO HOO!
Could there have been a better race today?! Lots of beatin & bangin goin on!

What a great day at our house! Denny won (we were biting our nails the whole time), Kyle came from 41st to finish 4th, Tony got 9th and Joey finished 12th!
I couldn't be happier...unless Tony could have won!

I was sure hoping Denny got his at Martinsville today...I put on my new Denny long sleeve T shirt this morning, feeling it was going to be his day! Just wish Jimmie would have finished further back, but all in all a good. The only one you didn't mention was Ryan in 7th.
