You liked Jimmie Johnson only for his last name, Roger? Now I think I heard it all. LOL. Ah well, JJ needs all the fans he can get so you picked the right guy, Roger. He is no underdog that is for sure, but there are a lot of people that hate to see him win and that root against him. Though, I still don't understand why...I am a JJ fan, but a bigger Gordon fan, so I am really hoping Gordon will break through JJ's drive for five with his own drive for five to win the championship this year. (If all that makes sense. LOL) Sorry to disappoint you Roger. I know...I am going through NASCAR withdrawl right now. Lucky for me baseball season starts today so perhaps that will help me get through this drought. Though am very looking forward to Saturday night where they'll be racing under the lights for the first time this season. Five days to go...

Lucky for your driver...he had a little help to win that race.
Namely Matt Kenseth who shoved Gordon up the track. -
Hopefully it was a good birthday...hopefully Boss took you up to the most expensive restaurant in Atlanta to celebrate your special day. If not...shame on him!

Bo 19 Luke 18 Daisy 12 Jesse 17 Cooter 19 Rosco 6 Enos 9 Took one away from Bo and gave it to the better-looking cousin Luke.. LOL Well I stole the point away from Luke and gave it back to Bo (Just since you said that GLG I really have to disagree with you there.) -
In a Week or Two - Diamond Rio

I bet that was an interesting article on Junior Johnson, Roger. I never seen him race, but know he is real good at it. LOL. Jimmie Johnson (Gordon's team mate...Gordon owns part of Jimmie Johnson's car) just tied Junior Johnson with fifty wins in last week's race. GLG - Well I was going to give you a hard time for going with Denny Hamlin, but I'll be nice about it. HA HA. Glad that you came up with a favorite driver (even if it isn't Gordon. ) I imagine it would or could be difficult picking one to go for with all the options out there. He is a pretty talented driver. Roger - Joey Lagono is 19 years old, so fo now he's a teenager. I think he'll turn twenty in May though. So, not for much longer. He's shown a lot of improvement so far this year from his first year of last year. I'm sure, give him time, he'll be putting more W's in the win column as well - to add onto the one he has.

Congratulations Daney and becoming the fan of the month! You are very deserving of the title!

Sorry...I don't have time. Ihave to get off in a couple of minutes. I wish I could.
Hope all is well with you. -

(Sorry for the short summary of the race...hope it don't get me fired! LOL. Trust me, the next race that I get to watch, I'll do much better with a lengthy summary. HA HA ) On a side note, Denny Hamlin was scheduled to get his knee operated on, on Monday from a injury he got in the off season playing basketball. I think he got it postponed for today after the rain out on Sunday. Guess it paid off for him to have it postponed since he won the race...and he is from Virginia so I bet that even makes it better for him. Gordon and Kennseth has past history together from a few years ago when Kennseth spun Gordon out on the last lap at Bristol, Gordon had been third at the time, and think he ended up 15th or something like that at the end. Kennseth went over right after they got out of their cars and Gordon shoved him away - which got Gordon a ten thousand dollar fine and six months probation. Just a little history lesson there. Well I looked up the top ten positions from NASCAR.com and this is what I got: 1 19 11 Denny Hamlin 2 17 20 Joey Logano 3 11 24 Jeff Gordon 4 26 39 Ryan Newman 5 20 56 Martin Truex Jr. 6 14 83 Brian Vickers 7 12 33 Clint Bowyer 8 13 99 Carl Edwards 9 3 48 Jimmie Johnson 10 4 16 Greg Biffle And here is the top twelve in points from NASCAR.com: 1 +2 Jimmie Johnson 2 +2 Greg Biffle 3 -1 Matt Kenseth 4 -3 Kevin Harvick 5 +2 Jeff Burton 6 -- Kurt Busch 7 +4 Jeff Gordon 8 -3 Tony Stewart 9 +3 Clint Bowyer 10 -2 Dale Earnhardt Jr. 11 -2 Paul Menard 12 +2 Brian Vickers

I think the hall of fame will be in North Carolina somewhere...that is where a lot of their racing garages and all that is located at. Richard Petty has a museum type thing down there somewhere and by what my aunt and uncle has told me about it, it sounds great. Would love to go see it sometime. Heard about the hall of fame...an older driver, want to say Junior Johnson but not sure, was an old moonshine runner before he turned to NASCAR, well since he is getting inducted, he is building a still on display for the hall of fame. LOL. OK for the race...I did record the race, though have yet to watch it. I got home from work in time for them to show the replays of the green, white, checkers finish. Only to get me frustrated and upset at Matt Kennseth since he knocked Jeff Gordon (my favorite driver) out of the lead, on the last lap, Gordon in turn didn't give Kennseth any room to pass and sent him (Kennseth) up the track. Denny Hamlin who was dominant all day it sounds like ended up winning the race, Joey Lagono finished second, and Gordon was lucky enough to hold onto a third place finish after what happened. After that, I am not sure. I will have to look it up. Know Edwards finished eightth and Johnson finished nineth. Kennseth ended up 18th after what had happened. As for points...Jimmie Johnson is our new point leader, followed by Greg Biffle, and then Matt Kennseth. Gordon rose to seventh in points from eleventh. Sorry that is as far as I am sure of with points at the moment... I do have it on tape, but I will most likely not watch it since I know the end of it. Odd I know. The races I miss, I record, but am too impatient to wait to see who wins it so I don't end up watching it. Though this weekend is another off weekend, so maybe I'll get bored and miss the race enough to watch it.

Congratulations Mini on your new son! He is so adorable!
-
OK I'll shut up about the end of the race. I just get frustrated/upset when people begin banging on Gordon on purpose. Don't care if it is for the win or what not, give him some respect. Gordon wouldn't have raced him that way if the roles were reversed...at least I can't see him doing it. (perhaps it is just me.)
Well I hope your week will get better and not so long.
We are going to another off weekend...hmph. Hope you have a great Easter if I don't get to talk to you before hand! -
Anyway, Kennseth in the article at NASCAR.com took part blame for it so that surprised me, though he wasn't very happy at Gordon either. Gordon wasn't happy about it either. Gordon's post race comment was funny...he said he wasn't sure what that was about (or something like that), but he made sure that he (Kennseth) wasn't going to be the one that won the race. HA HA. Perhaps I shouldn't find it too funny, but I don't understand what Kennseth has against Gordon. I guess they were both going for the win, but what does Kennseth expect Gordon to do when he's pushing and running into Gordon on purpose? Just sit back and let Kennseht pass him? I don't think anyone would.
It hurt Kennseth a lot more than it did Gordon position wise and point wise. So I shouldn't be upset at it perhaps. But still...
-
Though I did rewind it a few times to see the last restart, enough to get me more frustrated and upset at Matt Kennseth. Especially reading his comments about it online just a few minutes ago. He just needs to back off and leave Gordon alone and let Gordon win the dang race! HA HA HA. Ain't gonna happen, but it'd be nice. Have a feeling it reopened that can of worms that had started back at Bristol of '06 I think? Where Kennseth wrecked Gordon on the last lap of the spring Bristol race and Gordon shoved Kennseth when Kennseht approached him right afterwards...you go to that race?
-
Well I had to work so I missed the race, got home in time to see them showing the replays of the end of the race. Though I did record it, but now seeing the end, I doubt I'll watch it. I am like that...odd I know. I tape the races I don't get to watch, but then can't wait to know who wins to watch it so then I look it up or catch the end and then don't end up watching the dang tape anyway. I guess if Gordon would win one of them races, I may want to go watch it...
-
And Martinsville...that is too bad that you got the wrong channel! That is so frustrating. SPEED channel shows the past race on Thursday's earl afternoons if you know someone who could record it for you? Good thing you got clips of it though.
-
Guess that makes sense about Gordon being back there. Bristol is such a small track that it is easy to get lapped and be hard to earn that lap back. Am having a hard time remembering all that happened at Bristol...see how good my memory is. Know Gordon didn't do all that good and now looking back at the accident. ERRR LOL.
Figured you'd rather have Kurt win it over JJ...felt bad in that sense for you. Though I'd rahter have JJ win it. Though was kinda funny hearing Kurt talk about how he'd rather lose the race to anyone but to the 48. HA HA. Think almost everyone out there is probably feeling that way.
-
Don't rush this year along...please??!! LOL. I want to enjoy it while I can...next year will only mean a year closer to Gordon's retirement. Whenever that will be (hopefully a long ways away, but you never know with how people keep talking about him) and want to enjoy him out there racing as much as possible. (Pathetic, aren't I?) HA HA. Though I don't blame you for looking forward to it...glad you get to go again and are excited about it too. I did notice all the empty seats. That is a big bummer. Bristol's an awesome track and race...my opinion of course. especially the night race.
-
Bored? Me bored hearing about racing...especially one YOU went to? Not a chance!
(Especially hearing you going for Gordon! 
) Sounds like you had a great time. That was nice that your cousin got to go and that you shared your scanner/headset. I bet Gordon does get riled up as does anyone out there...it is just good knowing it isn't a frequent thing. I read about Jr's outburst online, but I can't remember them sharing it over the TV. Wonder where I was at that time. . .Hmmmm. Soudns like he was upset. Too bad you had to hear it.

I watched The Blind Side last night - starring Sandra Bullock and Tim McGraw. I thought it was an awesome movie - a very emotional movie, especially knowing they are based on true events. Glad to see that it all ended up at a good end, an happy ending. This is the third movie that Tim McGraw has been in, though this is the first one that I've seen him in. Haven't seen the other two as of yet. Surprisingly since I am a big fan of his music. Anyway, I thought he did a great job playing the part he played! Just thought I'd give my two cents worth on and to see what everyone else thought of the movie that has seen it so far.
-
Well, the race today at Martinsville got rained out or postponed for tomorrow at noon ET on FOX. Too bad I'll be worrking at noon...or eleven my time when it starts. Guess that's when teh VCR comes in handy to record it. I thought of you Roger...just learned today t hat they are opening NASCAR's Hall of Fame on May 11th this year. Uncle Jesse's birthday!
-
Bummer Roger, you weren't quick enough with that warning o' your's. I wonder who's going to bail poor Cale outta jail so he can make it to his next big race. (Begins to count pennies )

Be as You Are - Kenny Chesney (GLG - we're both sounding like broken records by stating the same artists...wonder if there is a rule against using the same artist over and over again?)
