Nascar 2009

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.

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!

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.

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

I'm not a fan of any of this weeks Hotpass drivers but will probably watch
Carl Edwards since I think he is the best of the lot.

Why does NASCAR bring out the best in people?

I was walking out of my gate when I heard someone yelling at me over the music on my earphones.

I stopped and saw the mailman gesturing to me-when I got the earpiece out he wanted to know who the NASCAR fan was in the house.

Of course he has seen the NASCAR publication, Marlboro/GP ads and the Harvick flag waving on the porch....

We did a little back and forth across the street and got the info on his driver, the kind of beer he drinks (it's not the brand HIS driver is sponsored by) and why he has no particular hatred for the brother of his favorite driver. It was a fun 10 minutes and I now know another NASCAR fan I can yell at when I see them.

I have always found race fans to be very faithful to their guys and always ready to start a conversation and trade a few jabs about the race, season or who crashed who the week before.

I love my NASCAR and the crazy fans, too!
