Mary, I agree about Kevin Harvick...he deserved to win. However, I actually found last night's race a bit boring. The "open" was more exciting.

The traffic here is horrible. I work about 7 miles from Charlotte Motor Speedway. The extra people here make it impossible to get home (13 miles away,) in less than an hour. Other than that, I love having the race here. It's two full weeks of that though.

This test sucks! Kevin Harvick??????

You scored as a Kevin Harvick

You are Kevin Harvick. You are very chipper and happy. You have a great and very serious relationship with someone who is always there for you. However you shouldn't ignore or abuse what you have because it may not be their tomorrow. You aren't always that consistent you tend to like change. (You definitely should never tell a joke) You have alot of close friends who love you dearly.

I took the test for Hubby. 100% TONY STEWART!
Maybe that's why he likes the guy so much.

We went to Home Depot figuring we could find the right color orange. NOT. The guy got miffed when I asked for Tony Stewart Orange. They said how about Home Depot Orange. No sorry it's too dull. I just want to flipping paint it all black. He's got white shelves for all his TS crap, plenty of TS crap that will hang on the walls, the wide screen is all black so the tv would fade into the walls. He says it will still be too dark. So I'm moving everything back into place and we're gonna deal with hunter green primed white walls for now.

What an interesting race, I am happy for Martin for his first Cup win and that Ryan had a good run. Kurt Busch just lived up to his reputation IMO for that idiotic display on pit road. They should park him for a couple of weeks after that stupid antic and yank a kajillion points. The "over the wall" segments on thatsracin.com say it all as far as Busch is concerned.

I totally agree about Kurt Bush. I am still mad at Roger Penske for putting this idiot in Rusty's seat...way to replace a class act!

I too think NASCAR should park the driver, if not the car, for the next couple of races. He is obviously out of control if he made such a bonehead move on Tony's car on pit road and didn't even notice that there was a pit crew member standing beside it. That could have been very dangerous. No, that WAS very dangerous.

And I have watched the clip several times and I don't see that Tony deliberately took him out. Kurt moved up on him and took Tony into the wall and Tony was recovering from that when he hit the back of Kurt. Could he have stopped himself? Maybe, but there's no way of knowing. The telling thing is that NASCAR hasn't said anything about Tony's actions on the track.

Interesting comment from one of Ryan Newman's crew at thatsracin.com:

"I'm sure by now everyone who watches racing has seen the footage of our teammate trying to TALK to Tony Stewart during the race on Sunday. DT has spoken on this issue so I figure I would to. The shop right now is just waiting to here what Nascar is going to do to Kurt and the 2 team. What bothers me about the whole situation is that this incident affects more than just Kurt Bush. On all race teams there are incentives for how you finish, how well pit stops are performed, where you finish at the end of the year, etc. So by Kurt showing his ass he puts all of us at Penske in a bad situation. Not only that but it makes guys on our team embarrassed to be his teammate. I think Kurt has a ton of talent but acting like a two year old isn't gonna cut it anymore. Oh by the way, we finished second, won the checkers, crew chief of the race award and moved up 2 spots. Who knows, maybe we can get a little bit of a streak going. Thats all."

I am happy that Jr. is going to Hendrick. I did not know that his maternal grandfather Gee used to work with Hendrick Motors in the early years. I have a feeling that he and Rick will have a wonderful surrogate father/son relationship and that makes me smile.

Now if Teresa will agree to sell the #8 to HMS, then all those tattoed Jr. fans will be ecstatic!

Now I wonder if all the Gordon "haters" will still throw their beer cans at Jr's teammate....I can't hardly wait. I'm happy that Jr. if joining a great team.

I used to be in the "not a Gordon fan" camp, but over the last year and especially the last few weeks, I have seen a softer, more real, Jeff. He used to be a PC driving robot imo, but I think impending fatherhood is bringing out a different side that I like. I like that he honored Big E when he passed his win record and I like that he mentors Jr. (as Jr. mentioned in his press conference) as Big E mentored him.

Granted, I would have never thrown a beer can at the man and am a little tired and bored with he and Jimmy winning all the races this year, but I do like him better than I did in the past.

I think Gordon changed about the time of his divorce from Brooke. He grew up alot then. I used to dislike him greatly, now I can tolerate him.

Yes interesting thought about the beer can throwers as alot of them were JR fans.

Is there enough room in Jimmy's ego for another star?

Hubby thought JR was going to go to Childress, I said I really didn't think so, esp after Childress and DEI signed the motor deal. Under the current circumstances, I think he wanted a total break from DEI.

Good luck JR!

[I still wish he and Tony were teammates but oh well.]

Can't help but say that some of us Gordon fans have been having a bit of a chuckle about Jr. going to Hendricks. I'm sure his fans are beside themselves.

It was nice to see Carl Edwards win yesterday after he was so close to winning the Busch race the night before when his car got taken out. Love that back flip he does. :-)

Jeff Gordon and wife had the baby on Wednesday.

Jeff Gordon is a dad.

The four-time Nextel Cup series champion and his wife Ingrid Vandebosch became the parents of a daughter, Ella Sofia Gordon, at 9:09 a.m. Wednesday. Ella weighed 7 pounds, 1 ounce and was 20 inches long, Gordon said on his Web site.

"It's been an absolutely incredible experience," Gordon said. "Ingrid came through amazingly and we're both really happy and overjoyed. We can't wait to get home and start our lives together as a family."

The timing of Ella's arrival means Gordon will be able to qualify and race in this weekend's Nextel Cup series event at Infineon Raceway in Sonoma, Calif.
Gordon, the current Nextel Cup series leader, had asked Mark Martin to sub for him in case the birth of his daughter prevented him from being at the track to qualify or race."
