Silly Serate - Are you looking for an "opening" like on pit road to give you more room? LOL So much for that opening. It didn't seem to help much now did it? :-)

I'm so tired of Jeff being soooooo close and then not closing the deal. That crazy move to get on pit road ruined his race. His CC was telling him if JJ pitted, to pit with him and was yelling, "NOW." Don't think Jeff was quite prepared for that and he certainly didn't have enough room to "whoa up" and then he blows that darn tire. GAH!!!!! Although he is now first in points, so I can't complain about that, but he needs to WIN for bonus points for the Chase. My DH always has to make some kind of comment when they say "whoa-ed up." LOL

That was some crazy racing or should I say "wrecking" all on their own half the time. Here I thought it was just because the Nationwide cars are lighter and it would be better. Obviously not! All those teams better get to work to keep those engines from failing!

I sure hope "Hotlanta" isn't like this past weekend. I doubt they'd get it 2 wks in a row since it was a weird weather situation for the south, but it could be not all that warm yet. I just hope it doesn't get postponed. It's bad enough they're taking a break soon. How dare they take time off when I need to watch them every weekend?!! LOL

WOOHOO! I am so glad to see the blue deuce in victory lane once again! Kurt dominated in fine fashion. My nephew is a huge Jeff Gordon fan so we had a blast teasing each other down the stretch.

And Carl Edwards put on another fine performance at Atlanta. Can't wait for Bristol! Kurt loves that track.

Two in a row for the Busch brothers!

I mean GEEZ can't they stagger their weekends off so we get some sort of NASCAR racing?

I feel with the current financial state NASCAR is probably trying to get fans to go to the "multiple" races as much as possible.
(like more than one race per weekend at the same track).

But, I haven't checked each schedule against the others, so I may just be blowing smoke! Anyhoo, this weekend will be here before we know it.

Varoooom!

I am totally addicted to NASCAR and NEED a race EVERY weekend!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Other times they have staggered their weeks off. The trucks run a different schedule often and sometimes Nationwide is off while Cup is running. I think it should be a RULE that they take different weekends off! At the very least, some of the stations could play old races all during the week and weekend. There was one old races on ESPN Classic this week, which of course, I missed!! Grrrrrrrrr.... I can't wait until Friday!!

At The Glen, you buy a ticket which includes the whole weekend or a Sunday only ticket. After looking at different tracks which charge for each event separately, we really get a decent rate compared to them. If I'm going to travel somewhere, I don't want to have to be limited to one race. Although the more you see, the longer you stay and that just adds even more to the price. I really would love to go to an oval this year. We're all set for The Glen.

Anyone else see Jeff Burton on General Hospital yesterday? I taped it so I wouldn't miss him. It was pretty funny. One of my favorite commercials is one he does for Holiday Inn with the people asking questions like, "Did you ever get your helmet stuck on your head?" "Where's your mullet?" ROFL

Schedule was set more than 2 years ago. And I have no problem with what they did, no matter the reason. I just NEED NASCAR, at least one race a week. *L*

Hubby mentioned it last night around 10, so I taped it on Soapnet. It was funny, him being told he didn't know what he was talking about cuz Dr Drake used to be a semi-pro driver. *L*

Ditto!!!

I take some consolation in the fact that JR should move up some in the points.

Stewart donates to help injured Shih Tzu:

#14-Tony Stewart's charitable foundation has donated an undisclosed amount of money to pay surgery costs for an injured stray Shih Tzu dog. Around midnight on St. Patrick's Day, the three-year-old male was taken to the Humane Society for Hamilton County with a broken back, and he needed immediate surgery. Joni Thompson, executive director of the Indianapolis-based Tony Stewart Foundation, found out and told the driver, whose Shih Tzu, Buddy, died in 2007. The foundation made a gift to the Humane Society specifically covering the costs of the surgery and the dog's special "wheelchair" to make up for losing the use of his hind legs. Stewart's past philanthropic work earned him NASCAR Illustrated's "Person of the Year" honors last year.(Florida Today/AP)(3-22-2009)

I haven't seen a race in over a month. I was checking the nascar.com site and it showed Jeffy in first place in the standings. Has he not been racing well? Is everyone worse than him and that's why he's moved up?

It's true, Happygal..Jeffy is in 1st place in the standings. He's been finishing in the top ten at least, so far so good. Which just tickles the crap out of the "24" haters! lol
GO JEFF!

Not sure if I was a NASCAR driver I'd want the show called The Biggest Loser in my resume', even if it is a show about weight loss and not losing races. *L*

Thanks Beach, I'm sure we'll be watching it tonight, or at least TiVo it.
