Nascar.com ^ | 7/21/09

Mark Martin has the most Cup wins in 2009, yet he's on the verge of missing the Chase.

What's up with that?

After a week off, it's time to crank it up at The Brickyard.

Argh. Kenseth got in Steven Wallace’s way. If he hadn’t blocked so aggressively, I think Wallace might have been able to pass Kyle, and cut into that points lead. Oh, well.

Who told ESPN to train their camera’s on the kid almost non-stop?

I think it had more to do with you paying your dues. I had a great time at the car show today in Fortuna, just a few miles south of Eureka and 15 degrees warmer...

Twasn’t that, I paid early!

Worked on my old truck today, think it’s a fuel pump.
Good news, it’s electric, mounted on the frame. Bad news, may have to drop the front tank to disconnect the four fuel lines. :(

Project for another day.

My 99 Silverado has a intermittent fuel gauge problem. Remedy? Replace the sending unit.. after you drain and drop the tank. Cost? Lots as it comes aS a assembly of sending unit and Fuel Pump. FOR EVERYTHING ELSE THERE IS MASTER CARD!

Neither one of mine work on this one, but with two tanks, you should never run out.

Easy for you to say when you live in Texas and pure refined gasoline bubbles up in your back yard...

No, we will leave about noonish. The fire near the lake has been knocked down so the cabin is still accesible. Fishing report as of 7-22 is they’re bit’n most excellently.

If’n I start watching the race we won’t leave until it’s over so I’m recording it and hoping for the best.

BTW, we tied w/qualifying points. :(

I’m going with my best group - J.J./Stewart/Newman/’Brose.

I’ll think of ya -
