Congrats to the whole #48 bunch. They really deserved to win this year. Heck they probably deserved to win before this, but this was definitely their year. I hope they enjoy the heck out of it. These things are hard to win...and getting harder!

Ryan seems like a nice guy away from the track and he does good charity work. But on the track, he sucks. I rate him about equal with Robbie Gordon. I think his performance this year was just a bit of "karma" coming back to bite him in the nether regions.

Here you go, Ketchup.

Crash cuts Goodyear test short for Biffle at Vegas: Testing tires is pretty boring stuff for most drivers, but this week's two-day Goodyear test at Las Vegas Motor Speedway left Kyle Busch excited and Greg Biffle with a headache. The two drivers spent Wednesday and Thursday testing tires to help the tire manufacturer find the proper tire combination for the new 20-degree banking at LVMS. It will determine which tires Goodyear brings back for the NASCAR-sanctioned test Jan. 29-30 as well as for the UAW-DaimlerChrysler 400 NASCAR Nextel Cup event on March 11. "There are a lot of neat characteristics to the track," said Busch, a Las Vegas native. "It's still pretty wide and a great racing surface. It's wide enough that we'll be able to run two and three wide. The transitions from the corner to the straightaways and then the straightaways to the corners are awesome. It's a great layout." Biffle said Wednesday that he is looking forward to racing on the new layout. But his test ended early on Thursday when he made hard contact with the wall between turns one and two. The impact knocked the fuel pump off the car and made for a fiery scene. Busch, who was closely following Biffle, helped the veteran driver from his car. Biffle wasn't injured, but decided to discontinue testing for the day. "That was a really hard hit and we lost a good car," Biffle said. "But I'm O.K." Unofficially, the drivers were clocked at speeds near 187 miles per hour, but Biffle said that may pick up to closer to 190 once the Nextel Cup teams start qualifying in March. Kasey Kahne holds the track qualifying record of 174.904 mph set in 2004. Tickets for the March 9-11 NASCAR Weekend are on sale by calling 1-800-644-4444 or by logging on to www.lvms.com. Passes for the new Neon Garage and pre-race activities passes also are available through the ticket office.(LVMS PR)(12-8-2006)

Personally I'm happy that Ricky Rudd is coming back to drive for Yates. I always liked Rudd.

Bobby Hamilton died today. He was 49. My thoughts are with his family. He was an amazing man with an incredible rags to riches story.

Looks like the Dale Jr vs Teresa feud could be heating up once again. It's a contract year. Teresa would be wise not to be biting the hand that feeds her. After all these years, Junior has finally gotten the upper hand in this relationship.

Gonna be interesting...could even get ugly if recent comments made by both parites are any indication. They're not on the friendliest of terms.

Junior's contract is up at the end of 2007. Teresa made a comment in the Wall Street Journal about Junior's commitment to racing saying that he needed to decide if he wants to be a race car driver or a public personality.

Junior had a media interview from Daytona on Monday where he responded. I think Junior and Kelly want at least part of the company, and Junior wants a whole lot more say in how things are being run.

Here's one link:

Wow! Thanks, Mary! I had no idea this was going on.

She is a knucklehead if she lets Dale leave.

I wish Dale Sr. would have planned for his kids future better, he must be looking down and shaking his head over this. This has the potential to get really ugly. Thank goodness Junior has his sister Kelly on his side, she is one smart businesswoman and can stand toe-to-toe with Teresa.
