Right now I'm on the computer and I'm watching the weather/news and then after the usual TV shows I watch I'll take a shower around 8 pm central and then .....It's the peak of DOHD!!   I'll watch something off of S. 5 .

Well I've got my shower and I'm watching S. 4, not 5. I'm watching " Nothing But The Truth".

I'm celebrating DOHD early tonight ( I'll probably celebrate tomorrow too! ( My wife is off tomorrow and the next day, so I don't have to take her to work!  Everybody needs  to  celebrate with the DOHD ( maybe get on here and tell everyone what you're watching?) AND celebrate with your favorite Libation!  

GRADY byrd

Pamela JEAN Bryant played Holly Mae in 'Granny Annie'.

Thanks Bud!! 

oh yea.....I'm also trying to figure out how to rig the Moonshine Mauler this year, so it won't be beaten, like it was last year! I have to admit though, I didn't mind being beaten by Garrett. He's a good man! He won last year if you remember!!    
I'm feeling the effects....so....I may not be with you  much longer....LOL!   

ooops! I forgot !!   

Right now, I'm watching TV and drinking  a Twisted Tea variety 12pk. Right now I'm drinking The one that's Half and Half....half hard iced tea and half lemonade. They all have 5% ABV ( alcohol by volume). Hard Iced Tea is tea with whiskey.....don't know but I think it's Rum.....??
A little later, I might watch DOH if there's nothing on after 7pm Central. I usually watch our favorite show at night as I'm going to sleep. I will watch it earlier though if there's nothing on.

Both should be punished? Green Bay and Chicago? Green Bay may deserve it, but the Bears, never! Sorry I am lost . . .and tired . 

I think both should be punished equally! So I see what you're saying Garrett.

Thanks for sharing these, Anonymous320. The wrecked 'Carnival of Thrills' jump car photo was #24 on the blue trading cards, but the rest are new to me.

I'm trying to recognize the store on the right in the image above. It was usually Seth M Berley & Co around this time, but I don't remember this sign. I must've missed it if it appeared on-screen.

Heaven

ooops! I forgot !!   

2nd annual? Didn't my grandaddy  beat your grandaddy back in the Moonshine 400 back in '31? 

Well Bowyer's and RCR's (Richard Childress Racing) appeal was over ruled this afternoon after an almost five hour appeal. So the penalty sticks. Childress is now taking his appeal to a higher court in NASCAR, but doubt that would take him far if all three people on the appeal panel overruled or denied his appeal. Childress even had a guy recreate how the tow truck could make whatever got higher, get higher. . Childress' pro reconstruction guy seemed to go all out and gave good examples of what they said happened and claim NASCAR paid no attention to it all. . .NASCAR states that there was discrepencies in his story and with what NASCAR found. Example that was given was that the man stated how it could raise the left rear end, not the right when both were up too high or something like that. If Childress' story is right, then why would they allow the tow truck bump into him like that to push him to victory lane - if the little love tap as they call it, could do damage to the car that they would take back to the shop? I don't know...though what gets me is how he passed post race inspection and then fail the one at the shop.
Feel bad for Bowyer that they didn't even cut down his penalty at all, especially if their expert is right. But at the same time, if NASCAR found his car wrong, it is up to them to regulate it so that kind of stuff won't happen again. I want to believe Bowyer and Childress. They don't seem to be the types to cheat in order to win and don't remember them getting caught with something like this before. But at the other side, I still think for his penalty to be so high, that NASCAR must have found something specific that has made them so sure of the car being wrong. I could be wrong though. . .
Well I have went back and forth and given y'all my two cents on the whole thing. What y'all think about it all? Would be interested to hear what you think about the whole thing, especially since y'all put up with all my ramblings about it.

I'm sitting here watching TV and making plans......plans for the  2nd annual Moonshine 400 !  It comes in the first week of May you know! I'm going to TRY to win this year....well...I tried last year but the Moonshine Mauler just couldn't cut it! How many of you guys are planning to race in it this year? ( If you will remember we had a good turn out last year!)

My other NASCAR source says they weren't going to fine drivers in cases like that. (NASCAR officials made that statement at the beginning of the season)
But this incident went too far. If they wouldn't have taken action then things could have gone even farther in the future. They had to draw the line somewhere.
By the way Garrett, are you going to start a thread for points standings?

I feel like NASCAR was too harsh on Edwards. I am not big on retaliation and all, Edwards did deliberately wreck Keselowski where Keselowski bumped into Edwards, but at the same time, Keselowski bumped him on the last lap to take the lead away. Any driver in Edwards' spot, I feel, would have came back at Keselowski to take the lead back. If Brad is going to drive people like that, he needs to expect that they may repay him for what he done. Especially on the last lap, especially when it is with someone like Edwards who he has wrecked in the past like that. Edwards I feel is not an overly aggressive driver, he just races other drivers the way they race him and Keselowski seems to find ways to run into him and other drivers. NASCAR needs to look into what starts it all, not just how it ends. They need to punish everyone the same. As I said, Edwards did take it a bit over board with how hard he hit Brad and he admitted to wrecking Keselowski on TV afterwards, but at the same time, it all started with Brad bumping into him to get the lead. I am just glad that NASCAR, this time, has also put Brad on probation as well (Both of them on probation on both series through 12/31/10), but they shouldn't have docked or fined Edwards for what he did. I feel probation for them both would have warranted the whole ordeal.
That is my two cents worth on the topic. Reading online other people's reactions, I know there is a lot of people that feel differently, but that is how I feel about it. Anyone else watch it? (I didn't watch the race, but did watch what happened on computer) What you think of it and NASCAR's punishment?
