Nascar 2009

I wish I had been there! WAH!!!!!!!!!!

[Cincy'sMom]

I was there...and somehow missed it!! I saw the start of the wreck and was watching Michael Annett, Brendon Gaughn and that group, and missed Joe rolling behind them! Ralph saw Joe land, but mised him on his lid.

We had a great time. Nashville is an awesome track and I would love to go back. I love the fan walk and the all access was very cool too! I got a ton of autographs (including Joey Lagano, Kyle Busch and Carl Edwards) and lots of pictures. We watched the first 1/2 the race from behind pit road and being that close to the track is just awesome!

I have to get taxes done tonight, but then I will try to get pictures up.

I am so glad that you liked it. I love the Nashville track, but then I always wonder if I am biased because it is so close. I'm glad you were able to watch from the fan walk. You don't see the backstretch, but I agree, it is an awesome experience. Can't wait for pictures. And tell us about how the drivers' meeting was please.

my first sheetmetal! It's from Bobby Hamilton Jr's car from a couple years back. I hate that he's not driving this year. He's a grumpy lil' bugger but I really like him.

I can't believe I got this much for 70 bucks delivered, let alone somebody I actually like. It's in 2 pieces but that's OK with me

I've been to races at Phoenix, California, Michigan, Kentucky and now Nashville. I think Nashville has the best set up of these tracks, and makes it easiest to see all the way around the track. I would definately go back.

I took way too many pictures to post, so I'll just put a link. There are about 315 pictures, and about 200 of them are from the race!

Okay, maybe I'll add one picture, in case Robin is lurking around...

[Moesha]

Wow, I've never seen the stands so empty. Not even after the night race was rained out and they ended up having to race on Sunday. So sad. Looks like you had a great time though!

[Cincy'sMom]

The driver's meeting was okay...they had them in a tent and then the outside of the tent roped off where you could stand. They had some speakers set up outside. We did get over there a little too late...it was already about 4-5 people deep. Instead, we stood up in front of the tent, directly where across from where they would come out of themeeting. Couldn't hear much of anything.

I think if I were to go back, I'd get over there sooner to get closer and hear more of it!

I'm lurking!

Thanks for posting this picture. Very cool!

OMG OMG OMG!!!!! I couldn't breathe!!!...LOL




Way to Go, Mark Martin!!!!!!!

[Cincy'sMom]

Thought it was going to be a weekend for the old guys all around....Kenny Schrader had a great run in the ARCA race, but was out of gas with 3 to go. BUt a dominate performance for him until that point....(I guess almost doens't quite count though)

I was watching CMT today and went by CMT. THey have a program that goes to the homes of C&W stars, athletes and such.


Mark Martin is a chump.

His house has a master bathroom that is as big as the place I lived in!

And he is a little 'under the thumb'-his wife has a huge counter for her stuff. His counter is on another wall and smaller!

They also went to the MM museum. WOW, HE really deserves to win a few more races this year!

[RICHARD]

Dear Stock Car JESUS,

While I love speedway racing, that there restrictor plate may be the work of Satan.

Please take care of those drivers, especially the ones that make the highlight shows by flipping over.


Amen.

[beeniesmom]

Wow, what a race!
I wish that guy crapowsky wouldn't have thrown Carl over like he did.
It's a miracle noone got hurt, especially in the crowd.
The car looked like it could have easily flipped over the barrier.
What a lame way to win....
Glad Jr. got second...

[Moesha]

Speechless.

[Taz_Zoee]

I was on the phone with my brother while they were watching this (previously recorded). So I had to go online and see for myself this Carl Edwards accident. That was crazy, and I am very glad nobody was seriously injured.
No back flips (outside of the car) for Carl though.
