Nascar 2008

[RICHARD]

I didn't finish my thought about the lights!

In Fontana after the first heavy winds of the season start, the first things that go are the arms that hold the signals and the signals themselves.

You can go to an intersection where they have the aluminum poles/arm that hold the signals over the lanes of traffic. You will see them sway back and forth from two to three feet. The passing drafts of the cars probably helped that sucker on to it's demise.

Good race. no real accidents, no problems and no KB in the winner's circle.


And why doesn't NASCAR let the 2nd and 3rd placers get up on stage, like some of the other racing leagues?

Okay, does anyone else think Chad Knaus joined the hair club for men? I swear he was almost balds on top at the banqust, now, watching him on This week in Nascar, his hair looks thicker every week!

Richmond is in VIRGINIA, not South or North Carolina!
By mentioning this I may have to come out of the closet with my Weather Channel addiction, although it is mostly for hurricane coverage--I can't stand the "Local on the 8s"! Anyway, I'm sitting here browsing online and have the Weather Channel on television. I hear Paul Goodloe talking about what areas Hanna might affect, including "the NASCAR race in South Carolina or North Carolina I should say". I thought you meteorologists needed to know something about geography! Ok, back to your regularly scheduled topic.

How about it that Tony and Joey got the probation removed from the penalties! That was fair.

Now you are talking!!

Weatherpeople don't care about racing!

[RICHARD]

This weekend's races have been rescheduled!
Check you local listings!

[Cincy'sMom]

Still should be truck racing today...go Chrissy!!!

It is unfortunate that qualifying got rained out....Joey was fast in practice. I would have liked to see what he could do. Oh well...another race, another chance!

It may have been raining in Richmond yesterday, but it was a great day to go racing at MIS!!!

[Cincy'sMom]

I have to add one more picture for Mark...he took a lot of crap for wearing his Kyle Busch T-shirt.

Anyway, last year I won the trip down to Miami, and got to do the 3 day racing experience down there. One of my instructors from there is the one who owns the school we went to at MIS yesterday. After the day was over we went to dinner with him and a lot of his family, who all help him with the school. His girlfriend was the most relentless in harassing Mark. Here he is with her, doing her Kyle Busch impersonation.



I see the resembelance....

Yes, scritch the car, I have a Mark Marting #6 model that gets scritched when he races, I am not superstitious.....

Oh, who am I kidding, I am.

I missed the spin, what does KB care, he's in.

One half hour and time for some IRL....

We really did have a wonderful time yesterday. It was a PERFECT day-and night!

Amy being the sweet and wonderful person she is let my mom have an extra ticket she had. Mom LOVED it and can't wait to do it again!


What was almost as cool as riding was that we got to go into Victory Lane

and even up on the track it's self!
