Kyle Busch extremely displeased

What? Displeased he didn't spin Tony out? He came close to it.

SGT Leigh Hester, Army, Silver Star, Iraq, Kentucky

Sgt. Hester’s squad was following a supply convoy on March 20, 2005, in Iraq when insurgents ambushed the convoy. Her squad quickly moved into position, cutting off the enemy’s escape route. Hester led her team directly into the line of fire into a flanking position, and then began an assault on a trench line. She and her squad leader cleared two trenches. When the attack was over, 27 insurgents were dead, six were wounded, and one was captured.
In June 2005, Hester was the first woman soldier since World War II to be awarded the Silver Star Medal.

Is the green flag at 3:40pm Eastern time? I'm a little confused by the countdown at the official site.

I wish they'd never put lights up. I liked it back when they started in the morning.

I gave them the big TV and I slipped in here to relax. Re your play by play earlier wasn’t too bad for a amateur. I’m off to dream land and hope I make it here tomorrow afternoon...

Yes, according to Fox info that I posted in the header which I hope is correct. Except for rain delay. :(

Don’t think the race will start on time. Still lots of rain heading straight for Daytona.

It sure will be a let down for a lot of people if they can’t run today - many excited fans ready for the new season to begin. Monday’s never feel the same but the report looks for sun all day so if it doesn’t go today we’re good tomorrow.

Ahhhhh Pebble Beach, one of the most beautiful places in the country. Love that area, almost moved to Carmel once upon a time but the weather is usually dreary and foggy.

My Favorite Brunette, 1947
Bob Hope, Dorothy Lamour and Peter Lorre; directed by Elliott Nugent; Paramount; comedy about a photographer who gets mixed up with mobsters; scenes filmed at the Crocker Mansion in Pebble Beach; at the time the Crocker Mansion was owned by Paul Fagan and was for sale; Paramount had a replica of the front door of the mansion made and used it on a Hollywood sound stage, where a lot of the scenes were shot; location shooting began after Labor Day in 1946 at the mansion, which was built in 1927 at a cost of more than $1 million (building materials were imported stone by stone and pillar by pillar from Europe).

I remember watching this movie in a hotel room in Monterey and saying, “Hey, we just saw that mansion on our drive today!”
