This is not a High Volume Ping List and is intended primarily to alert folks of the posting of the weekly Nascar qualifying and race threads.
Occasional sports or military or prayers Pings using the list may also be sent as situation or subject dictates.
Profanities, flame wars and belligerence in observing common sense rules and family decency standards on the thread may result in serious sanctions so be nice.

I would have been first if FR didn’t embargo my posts...
Did you get Glock’s photo of his new girlfriend?
I wonder how many cars would be left if they ran 500 miles instead of 500 laps?
Made it, thanks for the thread. Late in - in exile in slug queen land where the hard labor never stops.
Gunna miss the race as the wife says I need some Shakespeare culture Saturday evening. The play will be like my race points - “Much Ado about Nothing”. Or it could be “All’s Well that ends Well”.
I love HD NASCAR ! Just took Wonder Boy, #24, at +1000 to win. Can’t wait!
Was anyone else at the Glen two weeks ago? I live about an hour from there and it was awesome!
Can you include ESPN2 to the title. ABC is showing pre-season NFL games in home markets.
Jamie Little is smokin’. I just activated my SAP button.
Come on Jeff!
