Hey it looks great MeadoMuf'n. Thanks for the subforum for NASCAR . Think I died and went to heaven. Think you are right Roger...the boys would love this! Those sound like good threads to start. Updates, Q&A, point standings, NASCAR news. . .LOL. Think the list can go on and on.

M&M's sponsor Kyle Busch in the 18 car while Dupont sponsors Jeff Gordon in the 24 car and Lowe's sponsors Jimmie Johnson in the 48 car.

Thank-you Roger for your excitement! I was surprised to see this thread while going through here and am very excited about it! More room to talk about NASCAR!!! Though, I don't know if I would consider the NASCAR (or nascar) thread to be all mine to begin with. Think of it to be our thread. Thank-you to the Supreme Commander for this thread/forum to be dedicated to the world of NASCAR! As stated above, was and am excited to see this. I am glad to see the NASCAR thread be that popular and that I didn't or haven't bored everyone to death with my NASCAR ramblings. As I often say, once I get started talking about NASCAR, I can talk forever about any little thing containing NASCAR. HA HA. Just think of all I can talk about now...hmmm, where to start? Thanks again!

Noble Country woman.

Guess what, Roger? Five more days until Indianapolis! LOL. (Wait until the off season when my countdown officially starts. LOL) Want another fact...Jeff Gordon won the inaugural race at the Indianapolis for the Sprint Cup in 1997! Last year Juan Pablo Montoya (who is use to be a Formula one driver and had won the Indy 500 once) led most laps, but got caught speeding on the last pit stop and got penalized a drive through pit lane which is the customary penalty for speeding on pit road and Jimmie Johnson ended up winning the race. Should make for a good race on Sunday! Before I forget to mention, don't go looking for the race on TNT on Sunday. It will be shown on ESPN starting Sunday until the chase starts. Once the Chase starts, the races will be on ABC until the end of the season. So it will be on ESPN 1:00 EST (I think) on Sunday. Dale Jarrett, Rusty Wallace will be a couple of the announcers on that channel.

Sorry, I meant Johnny Lightning.

Your favorite deputy is my favorite deputy as well.

LOL Roger. I'll have to let her know, but do't get your hopes up.

Makes me so sad to know that I am about to miss out on a chat with some nice people like yourself, Roger, but I am headin' out the door in a minute. Thanks for the invite and hope you have a good chat. Hope to get another invite in the future.

Notably nice and friendly is what Cooter is. Hope you get to meet him again!

Yeah I wouldn't know about Cooter's truck, just was surprised to see Jesse's truck a Chevy. But yeah, that's not much to complain about. LOL. Had a great time and am glad I got to go. My mom bought me an early x-mas gift by buying one of Jimmie's General lee paintings. I am excited for you Roger! I bet you are excited...I am glad you are able to go. You'll have a blast. You get to see The General jump?! I saw that the Dukefests I went to and it was great! You'll have to tell me all about it! Hope you get to meet a lot new fans there, Roger. There was Duke fans there yesterday, but never really talked to them.

Rosco was great to talk to, made my day to see him smile after wishing him a happy birthday to get a hand shake. Hugged them both. But all in all, think I talked to Cooter a bit longer than ol' Rosco.

Roger - thanks for the comments you made! I had a blast yesterday and yes I am missing the race today, but it was better to be able to see James and Ben, so I am not complaining too badly. LOL. Rosco didn't chase me around...he just had surgery on his eyes so he don't need glasses so I don't think he was chasing anyone around. Though he missed his chance, he could have had a chance to catch me yesterday as I was just too excited to meet him and Ben to do much running away. LOL. I wished him an early birthday and his face lit up which made me glad that I remembered to do so. And I did need Cooter a couple of weeks ago...sure he wouldn't have charged me over thirteen hundred dollars to fix it...LOL (though can't complain they were nice about it and did a good job with it. Just wasn't Cooter...) but my mom had joked with him asking him when she can bring her ailing car to him. HA HA. He joked back and said to bring it on Monday and that not to worry about the cost because the boys never paid him and they're way over owing three thousand dollars. HA HA!!!! They were very personable. I met them both at Dukefest several years ago and they were too busy to get to personable with anyone, so it was nice to be at a lesser scale of events with them so they could talk more and be more relaxed. Even got to hear a story or two from Ben of his mom. It was a very nice day all in all. Though I do have one complaint...I got a Johnny Lightning Uncle Jesse truck from one of the sellers there. Got home to see that the truck was a Chevrolet. Am I wrong thinking Jesse's truck was a Ford? Guess I am too picky. Oh well...can't complain too much. All I am missing in cars now is Cooter's tow truck.

Well I got home a couple of hours from being at Lightning Fest where Ben Jones and James Best was at. Had a great time! They both were very personable and great. Was surprised that Jones had a lot more people in his line than ol' Rosco had in his, but he did have a few in a line at most times. Got a hug from both James and Ben. Saw several General Lees and patrol cars. Plus, there was lot of matchbox type cars in the store plus sellers in another room. I finally got Uncle Jesse's truck, Daisy's roadrunner, and the 00 car! Now all I need is Cooter's tow truck and I'll be all set...and Enos' patrol car. LOL Anyway, didn't know where to put this so I thought here would do. If anyone else was able to go yesterday or today would love to hear about it. I had a great time being there and talking to both Ben and James! It is great to see them out making appareances like this and keeping the show alive!

That was interesting Daney. Thanks for sharing it...sadly I write like someone I never heard of before. David Foster Wallace.

Though Jimmie Johnson is my second favorite driver, my all time favorite driver is Jeff Gordon and he needs to win more than Jimmie Johnson does!

Everyone better run for the mountains!

Darn rigt I'm depressed about having no race to watch this weekend. Without the race to watch, I'm bound to create some trouble since I now have nothing better to do.
