Nightcrawler.. Pop Warner is a GREAT program for kids. My step sons played and loved it. They went to nationals in CA. a few years back and won!! I was so excited for them. It seems Jeff won that race today, I missed it cuz I had to work again. Ah well next week I will be right in the mix :) and I am thinking I would love to see Rusty, Dale Jr. or Tony win it. I will say this for Tony, he does some entertaining stuff. I admit to being a Detroit Lions fan.... a hard job these days LOL but they did finally win one today! I also like the Raiders and New England.(who got beat today)
As for paintball I think its a blast. I dont have alot of time to go and play but I do get out there now and then.

Almost all of my team in the league got knocked out of the race! I really suck this week--lol.

Star, don't admit even for 1 day Gordon is the king. Grooch will send her Chilean relatives over to your house. She can't get them to leave---when they visit her, they are immune to bad manners, all weather, poison, lack of food, knives and guns.

It's good to hear you stick with your team including the bad years--that is the mark of a true fan!

NC--sorry to hear you did badly:(

I just read an article at Nascar.com that says S. Marlin is out for the rest of the season! Guess he was hurt pretty bad in the wreck last week. They expect he will be back next season. But for this year he is done. I am not a Marlin fan but he was having one killer year. It kinda struck me as funny since you never hear "He will be out for the season" in Nascar. That is usually what ya hear in football. Anyways it's to bad for him since he was having his best year ever.

yes the #40 Marlin is out for the rest of the year
and I dont like it I'm a Marlin fan and he WAS one of my drivers on my fantasy nascar team and i WAS in 5th place out of 16 teams. oh well i fell really bad for Marlin he was have a really good year
as for my team the only good driver not picked was #31 Robbie Gordon he not a Marlin but he will do:(
I found this at www.nascar.com

Injury forcing Marlin to miss rest of season
October 2, 2002
4:49 PM EDT (2049 GMT)
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) -- Sterling Marlin, who led the Winston Cup standings for 25 weeks, will miss the rest of the NASCAR season because of a fractured vertebra in his neck.

Marlin was injured in a crash Sunday in Kansas City, and the break in his vertebra was diagnosed Wednesday in Charlotte, the Chip Ganassi Racing team said.

"It is unfortunate that Sterling has to end his season early due to his injury," Ganassi said. "Sterling has dominated the championship points race, and we were looking forward to helping him win his first NASCAR Winston Cup title. We are expecting Sterling to make a full recovery and be ready to go for the title chase again in 2003."

Jamie McMurray, hired to drive a third car for Chip Ganassi Racing next year, will drive the No. 40 Dodge Intrepid for the rest of the season as well as complete the Busch Series schedule.

But McMurray will have to miss the Winston Cup race in Martinsville, Va., later this month because the Busch Series, where he is committed to finish out the season, will be racing in Memphis, Tenn., that weekend. No driver for the No. 40 car has been named for the Martinsville race

Talladega was awesome!!! My man won :) Before the race at about 11:30 they announced to the crowd...
"Lets give a warm Talladega welcome to Miss Sheryl Crowe" Woooooohooooo she is one of my favs and she rocked Talladega before the boys ever hit the track. And for the BB fans out there... Sheryl was way better in person lol. No cautions made the race go entirely to fast for me but I was thrilled with the end results. When #8 wasn't in the front #2 was up in the top 5 so I always had someone to cheer for. I am already making my plans for the April race. It was a great weekend!! And Nightcrawler I had no reason to drown my sorrows and get drunk, but I had a few in celebration :)

Starshadow -- sounds like you had a great time! Unfortunately I watched it all from my living room couch. Hubby napped through it, because he said with no wrecks, the going around and around and around made him sleepy [I think it was just an excuse though ;)]

We were glad to see Jr. win, but we are Rusty and DJ fans, so we were disappointed too.

I don't think the idea Nascar had for the smaller tanks worked out very well. The pack stayed bunched up and I believe it cost some of the racers a fair chance in the end.

Oh well, that's just my opinion!

Starshadow--glad you had such a good time at the races!:) Gald you got to have such an experience up close, in person, and having so much fun.

It's too bad about Marlin, and I think any time a good competitor is taken out of the season by an injury it's unfortunate. Yep, it's all part of the game and it's a risk. But it's stilll sucks to have that kind of thing remove anyone from action. He was having a banner year too. It's fun in this this to see everyone rooting for their favorites and giving fun little jabs to the drivers that are not their favorites, because so far, it's been strictly for fun and no meanness.

Btw, I've dropped in the fantasy cap league--but it's still fun to root and cheer for the team we've all picked.
