Nascar 2008

That's my boy!!!

He owes me a few hundred thousand dollars for helping to vote him in! At least we don't have to do that again for at least 10 more years! "We don't have to run that hooligan race again!" Best quote from Kasey's radio all night!

[Cincy'sMom]

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!!!

[Moesha]

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."

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

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.

KB......Tick off Racing Jesus, why don't you.


It is CARMA!

[RICHARD]

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




CONGRATS TO MELANIE TROXEL!

I think it's the year of the fast woman.....No, not you DP.

A little NASCAR news to share...............

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?

IN other news...

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.

And You didn't give it to me? Somehow I missed out on the ceral box promotion and I can't get my sister's kids to giv eup their cars for me! Oh well, I do have a #43 with Spider-Man on the hood!

[Cincy'sMom]

How do you stop JGR in the Nationwide race? Put Kyle in another car!!

And what was Denny doing pounding the 88? I guess Brad sorta started it....but man! Who thought Tony would be the calm, quiet memeber of JGR?

Exciting finish to the truck race today too!

[Moesha]

Sweeeeeeeeeeet! I was watching on TV and RaceView. RaceView is about a lap and a half ahead of tv. I saw Kasey take the lead and didn't know what happened to Tony. Guess it was a good thing they took those 2 right side tires on that previous pit stop. YAY Kenny Francis!!

[RICHARD]

The end of the Nationwide race looked like shore leave with all the 'Navy' shirts running around.

What is it with Danica Patrick and her wanting to mix it up with the boys?

She can run with them but my money is on the boys when it comes to boxing. There is a saying that goes, "She's looking for three legs on the cat, but will find four."

And I guarantee that the day she does go and grab at another driver, and gets her beel rung, she'll blame it on the guys and how they don't respect her.

If you walk into a fight and get your arse kicked, get a mirror and start blaming away!

KK, congrats.........

[Cincy'sMom]

Those last few laps were painful! Thank God Kyle didn't win again. So close....and yet so far!
