It’s a shame Flash didn’t get JJ engine. LOL

The pic is a reminder that I have an old friend coming down for Thanksgiving. He said what’s the weather like, maybe we can go to the beach. Forecast for Thanksgiving Day is cold and wet.

At least JJ found a pretty one. :)

From my favorite sports writer Tom Bowles

Kyle Busch played the perfect role of teammate ... and paid a price.

A side circus to the whole championship battle played out in the way Kyle Busch raced all 400 miles. Determined to help Hamlin win the championship, the Joe Gibbs Racing teammate played the role of blocker while making it difficult to nearly impossible for both Harvick and Johnson to pass. Turning his car into a roving obstacle, Busch spent lap after lap irritating both, pushing the limit until a fed-up Harvick wrecked him with 23 laps to go, prompting the race’s final caution.

“Well, that affected the outcome of the Chase,” said a member of Busch’s irritated crew on the radio. “That’s about as blatant as blatant gets.”

Busch didn’t mince words either after emerging from a fiery, totaled Toyota.

“Just a guy that doesn’t have his head on straight,” said NASCAR’s bad boy, a classic case of pot meeting kettle, considering a year in which he’s been on the other side of several similar incidents. “Such a two-faced guy, it doesn’t matter.”

But Harvick didn’t back down. “He raced me like a clown,” he retorted in the post-race news conference. “Three-wide, on the back bumper, running into me, and I just had enough.”

My take? Great theater, at the very least providing entertainment for those fans not focused on the championship. Even Hamlin, often a critic of his teammate, stuck up for Busch in an exchange that turned into a hilarious battle of wits:

Hamlin: “Your teammates raced me all day.”

Harvick: “I just parked yours.”

Point Kevin.
