ROCK ON! Tony finally gets what he deserves

I didn't get to see the race becuase we were at a wedding, but caught the last 15 laps on the radio onthe way home. Watching the highlights on Vicotry Lane, we missed a good one!

Today we went to the ARCA championship race here in Toledo. Wow!! I've been to the track before and to short dirt tracks, but seeing the stock cars on the 0.5 mile ...amazing! It got pretty wild, but was a heck of a race.

One of the cool things about the ARCA race here, is they always have a pre-race autograph session on the track.

Speed got wrecked early...


And retaliated by taking on Stenhouse Jr. Which got Speed parked by ARCA (not that his car was in great shape anymore!)

They were racing 3 wide all the way around the track...


Ouch!

Thanks! Kinda Scary that Scott Speed is making his first start in Cup at Martinsville this week...a track known to breed hot tempers!

Maybe he'll be the next "dart without feathers"!

Here's a question for all you race fans.

Why do I drive around and look at my gas gauge and think to myself, "I can make it for another week on a tank of gas!" then have to fill up the next day.

I don't drive at 180 miles an hour and in circles!

But Carl Edwards makes the finish line on fumes?

Nice Driving, Jimmie!!

And a PAX on the ABC TV Network ...
30 minutes to go and ABC decides they "need" to switch to "Funniest Home Videos".

Well that is great. I was at a soccer game and was recording it...Thanks Victory Lane I was able tos ee what happened at the end...

I told Ralph we are going to Phoenix in November next year. We went in 2005and Tony was champion. We haven't gone since to the fall race since and every year since (baring some big change next week!) Jimmie has been champion. We have to go back to Phoenix next year to break the streak!!!

Mark said we're not going back to Phoenix...Jimmie always wins...lol!

He needs to get over it and like the guy

Now come on, that is like saying I need to like Kyle

I was thinking about it on the way to work this morning that Jimmie has never won a race I have been to. I need to go to more races and keep him from winning #4 next year!

'Course that means Carl would would the championship cause he seems to win a lot when I go! ( Ithink he has won 50% of the Nationwide and 50% of the Cup races I have been to)

Congrats Clint and was that TS sounding a little sad?

Thanks to TS for giving me the # 20 to really root against for a while, then turning me around.
