I see Shrub took one of them.
Matt’s son was there and got an interview I heard. He said he wants to race cars too. :) Apparently he sounds just like Matt.
I debated at the last minute on ordering it but worried that our Time Warner would screw up because their service here sucks. I found the PPV page but just could not push the buy button.
I think Speed will show it eventually.
And for the wake up call news of the week........and a big DUH award goes to TEI.
CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Dale Earnhardt Inc. said Wednesday it is forming a dedicated team for testing, which Tony Eury Sr. will lead.
Eury had been the crew chief for rookie Paul Menard, but is giving up that position to focus on the test team. Dave Charpentier, an engineer on Menard’s crew, will take over for Eury beginning with this weekend’s race at Pocono Raceway.
The top teams in NASCAR have dedicated test teams, which travel to non-Nextel Cup tracks during the week to collect data. Hendrick Motorsports is believed to lead the industry in testing, and rival competitors have complained that Hendrick has spent about 100 days testing this season; Hendrick officials say the number is closer to 30.
But it led Dale Earnhardt Jr. to complain last month that DEI wasn’t putting forth a similar effort.
DEI’s test team will use Menard, Kerry Earnhardt and developmental drivers for the test team, which is hoping to hit the track June 19 and 20 at Kentucky Speedway.
“We have to do this,” DEI general manager John Story said. “If you want to keep up, or be the best, this is just one element of the things you have to do.”
GEE YA THINK???? WHY NOW AND NOT 2-3 YEARS AGO????

Speaking of Shrub, he’s supposed to be testing a COT here next week. No word on whether they’ll open the grandstands yet.
