I think Chad had better ease up on the "innovations" for a while...NASCAR has number.

Did anyone happen to see the show last night featuring the pets of NASCAR drivers. There were all kinds of animals (dogs, cats, horses, pot belly pig, rabbits and one of the mechanics even has a tamed white mouse he found in the garage), but there were lots of dogs and it was nice to see what an important part they play in the lives of the drivers at home, at the track, in the garage, on the road. I'm having a hard time seeing Tony Stewart as a chihuahua person. Casey Mears has two cats, one which is a Ragdoll just like my Miss Dolly.

I'm so proud of Hall of Fame Racing/Terry Labonte for finishing 17 in their first team race. I think it's hilarious that Tony Stewart received the first penalty for a violation he screamed to get.

I was pulling for Ryan Newman, #12. Heard him say, after the race, that Jimmie Johnson is a cheater. Something to that effect. Isn't his crew chief in the penalty box for cheating? I thought they only cheated in baseball and the Olympics. So much fun learning a new sport <sarcasm>

Newman, welcome to the wonderful exciting world of NASCAR! And I see you brought your <sarcasm> with you. Yes, there is cheating in this sport also. After all, there are men participating. The biggest difference is that instead of hitting each other with their fists (which does happen on occasion) they get to hit each other with cars. Any particular reason you picked Newman, Newman?

I can't imagine "our" Newman picking Ryan Newman - who might be the most boring and insufferable man in NASCAR! (Of course I'm still mad at how he treated Rusty...LOL)

I think Newman picking Newman is not only excellent...it's a perfect choice! Knowing you just a little bit, Newman, I know that you will enjoy pulling for Ryan. First of all, he's smart...make that very smart. He has an engineering degree from Purdue and can outthink anyone. He takes a back seat to no one, and has the talent to back it up. Secondly, he's articulate and brutally honest. He had the guts to stand up and say that the Bristol Speedway isn't the the "38 degrees" of banking that it has always claimed to be. When asked why he would say such a thing (Something considered blasphemy in many circles)...he simply replied, "Because it's true. We measured it. It's more like 26...28 tops." You will not only appreciate him, but admire him for his candor. I happen to know that he's right, because a couple of years before Ryan arrived, I had a friend who helped designed one of those computer NASCAR games, and they couldn't get the cars to stay on the track. They were really scratching their heads, so a group of them actually drove to the track to take some measurements...and sure enough...no where near 38 degrees! (And nobody believed my friend either! lol!) Third, he stands up for his convictions. Agree with him or disagree with him...you will know exactly where he stands. Love him or hate him...He is who he is. And fourth, but not least...he has a kickass sense of humor...a lot like yours I think. It's a bit dry not everyone appreciates it, but somehow I think you will. I totally "get" him and I gotta tell ya, the guy just cracks me up! I truly wish that you and I could just sit down and talk sometime. I could explain to you how this lifelong baseball fan, walked away from the sport in 1994 after the strike, walked over to NASCAR, and never looked back or regretted it for a moment. I hope that you come to enjoy it as well. Welcome!

Mary, I wanted to see if Newman would admit how alike the two of them are.

Anybody watching today's race. Are all those drivers regular Nascar drivers?

I'm watching. There are five regular Nextel Cup drivers that are doing the entire Nextel Cup schedule as well as the entire Busch Series. Then most of the other Busch regulars are in attendance. In addition, there are a few "Road course ringers" and small contingent of Mexican national racers. Congrats to Denny Hamlin!!! That kid is just loaded with talent. He is going to be fun to watch for a long, long time. I am very impressed with him. One of those truly feel good stories where a kid from humble beginnings has a dream, works hard, and finds a miracle or two along the way.

I'm sorry, it is way too early in the season not to have a regular NASCAR race! But I got in a good nap while I watched it behind my eyelids.

Charlotte is all abuzz now about winning the Hall of Fame. It all boiled down to 90% of the drivers living in the area. I am glad I moved to the suburbs and don't have to pay the taxes to build the place!

It seemed to me to be the logical place. Although I know a lot of people are all about Daytona, when I think of stock car racing I think of Charlotte. If I was going to make a stock car road trip I would think first of going to Charlotte.

Is anyone else getting tired of the "green, white, checker" finish. I know it is early in the season, but since I watch the truck, Busch and Cup races when I can, too many of them end that way. I felt sorry for Matt Kenseth today, since he did lead the most laps and feel he would have won if not for that late caution. Not that I'm particulary a big Kenseth fan, but he really impressed me today.
