I love that commercial Roxip. Esp after the naysayer's saying Tony was bitter about the selection of Joey. Makes me want to wipe my eyes.

Are you going to get a new paint scheme for your cat too, Serate?

Yeah, Carl got impatient and his move really was a bonehead...but at least he took credit for being an idiot. That was nerveracking!

And I'll bet the atmosphere at the Rousch shop on Monday morning wasn't too pretty.

Yeah, there was tension there last year after Carl pushed Matt, so one can only imagine. Although I did see Greg Biffle on Nascar This Week on SPEED. He didn't act too upset. They were talking about it being really easy to make a wrong move at Talledega which most fans don't realize. Kevin Harvick had a snarky comment when interviewed after the race and I have to say, it was funny. :-)

Phooey! Qualifying cancelled due to rain at Lowes. Lined-up according to points so that puts Jimmie Johnson on the pole.

Ut oh - turns out Cousin Carl was not amused with Kevin calling him a "pansy" on TV and left a sarcastic note for Kevin with his pilot after Dega. They got a wee bit physical in the Nationwide garage on Thurs. They were exchanging heated words and Kevin turned to leave. Carl grabbed him by the shoulder to turn him around and Kevin shoved him and he ended up on the hood of Kevin's N'wide car, leaving a dent. Harvicks' people got into it and one of them put a head lock on Carl to break them apart. Carl says it's over and no word from Kevin. Nascar has decided it was a "non incident" and won't be filing charges against them

Yeah Watching my DH told me all about it....too funny lol!

Got to say Harvick went up a few points in my "like em or leave em poll"!

Canadian Nascar fans alike are pretty peeved with Gillett over his firing of Patrick Carpentier.
Patrick is a great driver and a class act who did not deserve being yelled at publicly by his crew chief Mike Shitlett. Pfffttt!!

Gillett Evernham need to focus on improving their cars or they will fall even further down the rabbit hole!

Finally, some pics have been released.
Kev & Cousin Carl

I really like Patrick, too. I also liked Jacque - His dad Gilles was my favorite F1 driver and I was crushed when he died. I had seen him win at Watkins Glen in 1979. It turned me off of racing for a long time. :-(

Hoping for a safe race and wishing good luck to 42 drivers. Yeah, I know there are 43. I'm just not wishing one any luck at all, good or bad, lol.

I like Jeff Burton so I was happy to see him win, although I wonder what happened to Tony's car? It was so strong at the beginning and then it just fell off..,and then he made a mental error and that jinxed them...so far the Chase has been exciting.

I hate it when one driver just runs away with it...I would love to see Jimmy Johnson have a bad race...not saying that he won't win the Chase, but it makes it more exciting when there is a chance for all to win. JMO!

LOL Sports! I've seen some pretty funny pics of Kevin when he's gone after other drivers. One being when he was on top of a car chasing Ricky Rudd. LOL Apparently, you can just put in Kevin's name and "fight" and you can get several videos. Some have called him like a little dog that nips at your ankles. ROFL

I like Jeff Burton, too, and it's good to see some other drivers getting involved in the Chase. I just wish the other Jeff was doing better. ;) I have say though, it was pretty impressive when he hit the wall 2x, pitted and ended up a lap down, I would have sworn he was going to be relatively "done" for the race. It was pretty exciting to see him get all the way to first for a change. Too bad he was off pit sequence. We were all yelling, "HUH?!!" when he got four tires on that last pit, but I've now read they had no choice since their tires were so much older than everyone elses.

I think what happened to Tony is what happened to all of the guys who lead at one time, but then got mired in traffic. The new car just plows when it's in traffic and is really hard to pass. When they get out front in the fresh air, they can all take off. The aero problem with the car is something all of the drivers want NASCAR to look at and hopefully do something about.

Apparently Ray Everham might leave Gillette-Everham. He was quite adamant that he was not invovled in the release of Patrick. He said the decision was made before he even got back to the shop. He really wanted everyone to know he was not on board with him being released.

I do hope Jimmie has to struggle like some of the rest of the guys. It will make the Chase all that more interesting.

Ha Ha that pic is hilarious. I can see the "junk yard dog thing"


I am sooo peeved they have qualified by points again for this weekends race. It freakin sucks!!! They had plenty of time yesterday and today where they could have gotten the qualifying in without rain.

This gives a very unfair advantage to the Chase leader and is unfair to the rest of the Chasers. Jimmy would not have qualified first so many races otherwise. When you have a bad qualifying and begin further back you increase your chances of crashing, going a lap down etc....

I am really getting irritated with this lameo rule (can you tell?)

Well, say what you want to say, but Jimmy Johnson is both lucky and good. It is incredible that he came back from a really bad car and a penalty to finish 2nd yesterday. I guess he deserves to win the Chase...I fear that is no stopping him.

That is certainly damning by faint praise, isn't it?

lol! Roxip.

Yes it is. Say what you will. Chad Knaus and Jimmie Johnson may be unbeatable. One or the other would be hard to beat...but together they seem to be unstoppable.

Oh my goodness, my roommate just called to say that her brother-in-law wasn't going to be able to go to the race this weekend and wanted to know if she knew anyone that would be interested in going. That was a no-brainer. She knew I would take them in a heartbeat. And as an extra bonus he also has pit passes. Woooo hoooo!! We went last year and had such a blast. I am so excited!

Okay, I'm hating imbedwithced just a wee bit right now (not really).

Somebody around here was giving away tickets to the truck race on Friday a couple of days ago...darn Halloween! I don't think I could convince my DD that going to a truck race was more fun than going trick or treating!

Awesome Imbewitched! Believe it or not I was thinking about you the last few days since we had so much fun talking about your first trip to a race last year and was wondering if you were going again. Plus, you were so sweet to send that kiss to Jeffy for me and even admit what you were doing to our BF! LOL That was awesome. :-) Have a wonderful time!!! Now, don't forget about daylight saving time ending this weekend. LOL ;)

This year would you send a kiss to the #20 for me? I'm so going to miss that orange car driving around with that hairy man...do you think Joey even shaves yet?

LOL Roxip. He might have a hair or two that he has to shave. :-) I soooooooooooo wish he had won at The Glen instead of is teammate. I was yelling for Tony so hard to "get him!"

Roxip, if I had extra tickets I would so give them to you. And you ding, dang, darn better know that I will be sending kisses to OUR Tony and my Jr. of course! Do you think people will think that I am disloyal if I wear my Tony shirt and a Jr. hat?

"do you think Joey even shaves yet?" heeee heeee, I will not say what I'm thinking on that one.

Watching, strangely enough, can't believe I'm going to say this but here goes....... your guy has actually grown on me. Not so much that the kisses I blow will be from me but ya know.... I think being teammates with my Jr. has had tons to do with that.

I checked the weather and it looks like it will be a beautiful day. Last year was so HOT! We were a little worried that it would be like that again. Not that it would have stopped us from going. lol

We are definitely getting headsets this time.

Ok, I read the Pit Pass Rules on-line but it just talks about clothes, shoes and ages limits. Do y'all happen to know what time they open the pits, what time do they close them to visitors? Any other info would be much appreciated.
