Nascar 2006

Congratulations to Sarah Fisher......

She's back where she belongs, in an indy car. (Given their relationship, I'm surprised Danica didn't wreck her on the first lap)

sara fisher= Class
D patrick? subtract the 'cl'!

While we're talking about drivers from other series, I hope Cristiano Da Matta recovers well...

He hit a deer on the track at Road America two weeks ago, and is still only marginally responsive. He is recovering faster than docs thought he would, but he remains in tough shape.

Carl still got a chance to flip out after the race, eh?


Ah, Dale Jr...the fruit didn't fall far from the tree....

Jack Rouschis making a personal appearance at the Ford dealership up the street on THursday...I don't feel good......

I think I am getting Nascar fever.

Here in CA there is a bill to be voted on about using a cell phone while driving.


It was just on the news that legislation is being drafted that no one will be allowed to drive with a checkered flag in their hand.


Thanks Kasey...

I am so annoyed that they seem to show the races on different channels here every week!!! I missed the race and just caught the wrap up!!! Silly me, I looked for it on the station that showed the race last week!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

PLEASE PICK ONE STATION TO SHOW MY RACES AND STAY WITH IT!!!

Last week, during the opening ceremonies they didn't show the flyby....THAT TICKED ME OFF!

The race broadcasts have been lousy since ESPN got out of the game. Hopefully that will change next year, as Dr. Jerry Punch and crew will be back.

I'm sick of endless coverage of junior, even though he's in 25th place and sliding back, and other drivers who get the same treatment. Last night Mark was on a tear, and they didn't mention him ONCE until he had fallen out of contention due to contact. Don't show how he made up 30+ spots in 55 laps, don't show the contact that screwed up his car. Just keep showing Junior.

I can last the rest of my life without hearing "boogity boogity boogity" or any other BS catch phrases. I wish we had an MRN station in our area so I could watch the race but listen to the radio broadcast.

My favorite way to watch the race is to have it on TV, and the computer logged on to TrackPass on Nascar.com It costs an about $4/month, but I can listen to the drivers radios and watch the leaderboard with lap times and speeds. Don't miss anything for commericals and can see when people are moving through the field quicker then the scroll on the TV....well worth my $1/week!!

DITTO! It is no different on the radio either. I was listening to it in the car on the way home and not a word about Martin. Hubby called and told me how far he had moved up in such a short bit of time and I couldn't beleive it. I swear on the radio they never seem to go past the fifth place driver. Heeelllo, what about all the other drivers!....LOL

Amy, this is exactly what we do! Brandon started it and after he moved out Alden signed up on our computer..lol. It drove me nuts at first because we dont' have a tv in the computer room and alden would be going back and forth. I just wanted him to sit down and watch the race with me. It wasn't long before I was in here at the computer also. I think we spend more time in here checking things out...lol.

See ya Wednesday

[RobiLee]

Whew! I felt like I was holding my breath through most of that last race. I'm so relieved and happy that Martin made it into the Chase!

Go Mark!

Go Matt!

[Cincy'sMom]

Tony had a decent night 40th to 18th isn't too bad...but it wasn't enough. They just couldn't get the car quite right. Oh well....pressue is off he can go out and have some fun and win some races.

In the meantime...Go Denny!!!!

(Personally, with the 10 in, I'd rather see anyone OTHER then a Hendricks driver win it! It would be nice to see a first time winner (sorry not really routing for Kenseth either), and if Happy could sweep both seris that would be pretty amamzing.)

[RobiLee]

I'm just so happy that Mark Martin made the chase that I don't even think I care who wins it..lol. I really really want Martin to win, but I can handle seeing Kenseth win it again. Ohhh, I wouldn't mind seeing Jeff Burton win it either. I've always liked him too. It would be very cool to see Harvick sweep the whole thing. I pretty much like all the drivers that made it in...oops, strike that, I'm not much of a Gordon fan .

Did you know that Mark Martin, Matt Kenseth and Jimmie Johnson are the only 3 drivers that made it last year to make it again this year and that those 3 drivers have now made it into every chase race? That is pretty cool . That is some awesome driving talent and teamwork!

Ohh, how I wish Alden and I were heading to New Hampshire like we did last year. I'm like a little kid when I get to see them race in person. I think it is so exciting!

I LOVE NASCAR NEXTEL CUP RACING!
