Want to know what's wrong with Nascar? It has been infiltrated with Political Correctness Next will be two lap head starts for the under privileged in any shape or color...

[SouthTexas]

looks like a good deal for both you and your blushing bride!

[SouthTexas]

That’s what’s wrong with the whole country! It’s not surprising that it has creeped, OK came with leaps and bounds, into Nascar.

I however, will stick to my God and gun clinging redneck ways.

According to Jayski:

Boris Said is committed to running the first five races in 2010 and will announce his sponsorship for the Daytona 500 on Saturday.

Ah, I think I got it.

Are you refering to the “wolf” moon tonight - the largest of the year - the one that is, what, 30% bigger and 14% wider - and I should be braying or barking at it? I did a lot of that at night in the olden days when I was drinking mad dog and I didn’t need any stink’n moon to let it rip. Unfortunately there is no moon tonight in Bend, just snow falling.

It’s amazing how mellow I’m turning now that I’m 60.

I’m so far behind on NASCAR news that I’m going to need a week to catch up. I think your gonna have to remind me to pick drivers.

Humboldt Bay is having near record high tides these days and it allows for the contractor to barge ten 600 ton engines to Fiels Landing from Eureka two at a time. Then special trailers are towed by very large off highway trucks move them north on 101 in the South Bound lanes for about 3//4 of a mile to PG&Es new power plant. It happens between 2 and 5 AM. I think they moved 2 of them last night. I would like to see it but...

The Said heads will be ecstatic

Off to work for me - would love to stay and chat but.........

[SouthTexas]

Uh oh, the Said heads will go bonkers!

[SouthTexas]

Have always loved these places and have always wondered if they re-stock at the mall.

Midnight Auto Supply?

[Roccus]

Just gettin’ caught up.

It’s nice to see that you’ve taken on the duties of Spokeswoman for the Commissioner. (heh-heh)

Still not so sure about that rule on runaway tires. Does it mean that a team whose tire escapes directly at an official (which he will of course stop/kick back) still will not be penalized for said errant tire?

[GRRRRR]

The 24 Hrs at Daytong, ROLEX, is now running...rain and wet track...but they are running!

Racin’ at Daytona for the next 23 hours 36 minutes...

MORE to come...

[Roccus]

Hey GRRRRR, I gotta tell ya, I ain't too happy about ya goin' over my head to WCG about the FL.

I WON!!!!! I'm the Commissioner.... and I will not be usurped!!!!!

[Roccus]

I was just tryin’ to sound “Presidential.”

[GRRRRR]

LOL...but, but it’s her thread...

I did finally figure it all out...watch for that Grimey Pits Chevy Nokia Racin’ Team to take it all this year!! Allmendinger ALL the way!!

Vrooom...

[WestCoastGal]

I guess if tire is within his reach he can stop it and no penalty - might also depend on his thoughts re: the particular team in his box???

[WestCoastGal]

I’m trying to get interested in the 24 hour race, but it’s hard. SPEED missed the best part already which was the driver exchange between Gurney and JJ

[WestCoastGal]

Here’s where the left over wings will go.

I don't think that which team it is enters into it. Of course, I could be naive about that. I do think however, that if an official stops a tire, it should be a penalty the same as if the tire left the box. After all, if the official had been standing 24 inches to one side or the other, it would have. NASCAR is wrong on the 'no penalty' call IMO.
