Nascar 2008

Congrats to Kasey! It was neat to see him come from the vote to win.

What a boring race though....not a single caution! There was some good side by side racing, but it just got too strung out. THe most exciting thing was betting on which JGR engine would blow up next Don't know what the new engine package was, but let's trash it now!!!

They were probably trying something different because of the shorter distance of this race. I'm sure it won't make it into a points paying race ever.

Here are JGR quotes about the engines for the race tonight:

TONY STEWART, No. 20 Home Depot Toyota Camry, Joe Gibbs Racing
Finished: 5th How worried were you about your motor holding together after your teammates had trouble?
"We had problems yesterday and that's what got us in the situation. We didn't have the problem that they had, but we had it first yesterday. Unfortunately it was one of those deals tonight where it was just like pulling a pin on a grenade -- didn't know when it was going to go off for those guys. It was experimental stuff and tonight's the night to try that stuff. When it comes time to run 600 miles next week, we can do it."

DENNY HAMLIN, No. 11 FedEx Toyota Camry, Joe Gibbs Racing
Finished: 23rd Did you have an experimental engine package this week?
"This is definitely experimental 'All-Star only' racing. We came out here with our guns loaded and unfortunately our gun went off a little bit before the end of the race. It just wasn't enough. We knew this engine wasn't going to go 500 miles. It was built for just a few more laps past 100 and it just didn't make it."

KYLE BUSCH, M&M's Toyota Camry, Joe Gibbs Racing
Finished: 24th Was this a special package you ran for the All-Star Race tonight?
"It was going to be our standard package for the 600 next weekend. It's a new package that we've come out with in the recent weeks but for some reason it has broken rocker arms. We'll fix it and get it ready for if not this upcoming week but the next couple weeks."

99 cents and any additional charges.

When I heard that I laughed. CE had a great line about him winning the ASR from the vote...

At least Kenny Chesney was honest about it.

The CE quote?
"See what a bunch of women can do for you?"

I actaully thought they had given him to a zoo awhile ago....not sure how I got that idea. Maybe they (the zoo) has had him awhile, but are just now putting him on display after giving him time to acclimate?

Not sure I believe Kentucky will get a cup race, but it is a fun track to go to! Wouldn't hurt my feelings to get another one in driving distance!

Giving away your Mojo?

That may be the last thing he wants to do!

I got my Petty ride the other day!!!!


It wasn't that fast but I loved it. IT only cost me almost four dollars!


I opened up a box of CHEERIOS and there it was. A die cast #43 car....I gave it away. It would look cheesy next to my #6 model and #3 remote control cars.
