Tribute to the veterans

You will be missed.

Congratulations to the 2005 Nascar Nextel Cup Champion Tony Stewart

Great finish yesterday. I would have loved to see Martin win one more this year but it was still a great finish.

Well get yourselves off to a slick track or something and keep the adrenalin going! :-)

IT'S ABOUT TIME!!!

[Wolfstar]

Ugh, I cannot stand Tony Stewart. Maybe if the guy bathed and shaved more than once a month...

Dave de Pends is on Speed right now as is Mikey and Vicks...

Maybe a new computer will help you through the long winter months....

Thanks for the ping - hopefully I'll be over Ricky retiring by February.

Well, that was a fun season. Lots of ups and downs, for Nascar and for the Duck! team in the fantasy league.

I'd never done Fantasy NASCAR before. I like it. It made me learn a bit more about drivers other than the ones I follow. Of course, with Rusty gone, I'll have to pick another to complement J Gordon.

I will stare blankly at my TV until Feb

I hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving. I thought I'd ping y'all with this week's Tom Higgins article....great Earnhardt story.

Viva, Las Vegas! Bye-Bye...

Thx for the pings and the thread .. I been remodeling and holidaying up a storm the last 2 weeks. I can;t believe the season is over.

btw, I just found a contestant for the 'Ain't over 'til the Big Gal warbles' contest.. My kind of gal too,, she tosses a mean pitcher of beer. ;-)

I may go easier on Tony after listening to him accept the championship this year and admitting what a jerk and pain he was for his team last year.

I still don't like him very much, but not because of his aggressive driving, but because of his attitude and mouth.

This indeed was a good year for Tony, I just hope he matures a bit more and improves in the "Works & Plays Well With Other's" category.

Shame, shame: NASCAR annoyed with drivers who skipped ceremonies

This is unacceptable behavior, IMO. These guys owe it to the sanctioning body, and their fans, to be there.
