Spike

Burt Reynolds

Yeah frankly I'm tired of walking on eggshells when dealing with him. My wife called him to ask if she can drop her car off so he can look at it when he got a chance but she didn't even get one word out before he hung up on her after yelling he "doesn't have time to deal with the car." He used to be a nicer guy but lately 9x out 10 you call him you get Grumpy.

Chase Elliot will be in the Inaugural season finale race at Nashville Will be interesting to see how him and Bill race each other.

Guess we're looking for a new mechanic. Yesterday was the last straw. Dude's a great mechanic but we've had enough of the attitude he's had the past few years. He's been way more Hyde than Jekyll lately. Gonna try my uncle's mechanic and see how that goes next week.

My chrome browser said that too till I cleared the history and cache, I assume it had something to do with the cookies.

SRX Series was back on asphalt this week at Lucas Oil Raceway in Indiana. SRX had a little fun with Paul Tracy by having him show up in the back of a police car for security . Scott Speed dominated the 1st heat race leading all the laps and winning. Helio Castroneves won the 2nd heat race after passing Paul Tracy on the 5th lap. Ernie Francis Jr won the Main Feature Race leading all but 11 or 21 laps, typo on SRX website not sure which number is correct. Main Feature Race Results 1 Ernie Francis Jr 2 Bobby Labonte 3 Scott Speed 4 Marco Andretti 5 Bobby Santos 6 Michael Waltrip 7 Tony Stewart 8 Paul Tracy 9 Helio Castroneves 10 Tony Kanaan 11 Willy T Ribbs 12 Bill Elliot

Nascar Cup series returned to Road America for the first time since 1956. Chase Elliot won holding off hard charging Gibbs teammates, giving Hendrick Motorsports it's 10th win of the season. I still think they should have kept Daytona on the July 4th weekend. Top 10 1 Chase Elliot 2 Christopher Bell 3 Kyle Busch 4 Kurt Busch 5 Denny Hamlin 6 Chase Briscoe 7 Ross Chastain 8 Tyler Reddick 9 Martin Truex jr 10 Matt Dibenedetto Kurt Busch already had talks with Trackhouse Racing so he's rumored to be the top candidate to drive the 2nd car when they take over Ganassi's Nascar teams at the end of the season.

Finally got some sleep last night, only a few fireworks were shot off nearby. At least it was nothing like this... this happened on the other side of town. And people wonder why I say don't move to Toledo. To top it off Ohio legislators just legalized fireworks though the governor has yet to sign the bill. Had a busy weekend myself. Was planning on relaxing and watching all the races on NBC but ended up only watching the last half of the Cup race Sunday afternoon. Laid a second coat of paint on a lady's patio Saturday after the local home depot worker snookered her and said she needed a 2nd coat even though on the can it says one coat paint. She really only needed a small can of touch up paint to touch up a few little spots where the wind blew a few leaves on after I laid down the first coat a few weeks ago. Sunday I "helped" (did all the work) my dad with patching the concrete wall by the steps leading to the basement outside door. Not sure which Home store he went to but a goofball worker strikes again, sold him a 50lbs bag of fence post concrete. I didn't feel like going back to the store and getting the correct stuff so I made do, if it holds up good if not I don't care. I only ended up using a few inches of the bag to patch all the areas so a 10lbs or smaller bag would have worked. Wife was real happy about that because I ruined her Sunday plans to hang out with some of her family. I'm getting real sick of every time my uncle mentions this or that needs to be taken care of at my dad's house then my dad whining/harassing me till I do it instead of him doing it himself which he is entirely capable of doing.

Awesome work and collection

Gonna have to pick your chin up off the floor after reading this...Chip Ganassi is leaving Nascar and sold team charters to Trackhouse Racing https://nascar.nbcsports.com/2021/06/30/trackhouse-purchases-chip-ganassi-racing-nascar-operation/ Trackhouse will run two cars next year one driven by current driver Daniel Suarez and the 2nd driver tba. Ross Chastain will probably be the 2nd driver though.

Offendaphobic that's a good one. I nominate that for a new word in the Webster's Dictionary. CNN used to be a great news network way back in the day now it's become way too biased like Fox News.

This whole "woke" thing is getting more absurd by the day. On the local news yesterday they did a story on "weight bias". Some 400+/-lbs lady was on there saying fat jokes are offensive. Next thing you know gassy people are going to say fart jokes are offensive.

The SRX series was at Eldora this past Saturday night and the action was hot. Tempers flared and the cars got used up and most of them will need new body panels for the next race this Saturday night. If you missed it you can watch it here Tony Stewart won the first heat. Marco Andretti shocked everyone winning the 2nd heat. Tony Stewart won the main Feature after passing local racer Kody Swanson and Paul Tracy who led the most laps. Bill Elliott got a new car although they did find the gremlin in his other car from the previous two races but they wanted to give him a new one just in case any issues popped up. This race was the most watched too date with 1.38 million viewers tuning in. It almost matched Saturday's Pocono cup race on NBCSN and beat both Xfinity and Truck series races on NBCSN and FS1 respectively. Main Feature results 1 Tony Stewart 2 Kody Swanson 3 Helio Castroneves 4 Marco Andretti 5 Paul Tracy 6 Scott Speed 7 Tony Kanaan 8 Ernie Francis Jr 9 Willy T Ribbs 10 Michael Waltrip 11 Bobby Labonte 12 Bill Elliot

Roush Fenway Racing allegedly told it's partners and investors that the deal with Brad Keselowski is a done deal https://www.jayski.com/2021/06/25/report-brad-keselowski-to-roush-fenway-with-ownership-role/ neither RFR, Penske Racing or Brad Keselowski has confirmed it yet though. Nascar's uptick in tv ratings this season is over, Pocono saw the lowest viewership since races in the 2000 season.

Hobie's white lightning has a bit of a (hiccup) kick lol took me a day to recover. This past weekend was the Pocono doubleheader. Saturday's race the Hendrick brigade dominated. It looked like Kyle Larson was going to win his 5the consecutive race until his left front tire blew going into turn 3 on the last lap which gave Alex Bowman his 3rd win this season and Hendrick Motorsports 6 consecutive wins and 9 wins total so far this season. Top 10 1 Alex Bowman 2 Kyle Busch 3 William Byron 4 Denny Hamlin 5 Ryan Blaney 6 Kurt Busch 7 Joey Logano 8 Kevin Harvick 9 Kyle Larson 10 Brad Keselowski Race 2 ended up being a fuel mileage race. Kyle Busch had transmission issues that left him with only 4th gear which turned out to be a good thing for fuel mileage since he didn't down shift in the turns. His car handled superbly which allowed him to run almost as fast as the leaders who ran out of fuel. Top 10 1 Kyle Busch 2 Kyle Larson 3 Brad Keselowski 4 Kevin Harvick 5 Bubba Wallace 6 Ryan Blaney 7 Alex Bowman 8 Ryan Preece 9 Tyler Reddick 10 Joey Logano This weekend Nascar heads to Road America with Xfinity and Cup and some Cup drivers will also run in the Trans Am race there this weekend as well. Both races will be on NBC stations.

Fitbits work great now that they put out a software update. Mine said I did 20,000 steps today while mowing, though that might be a bit off as no electronic pedometer will be 100% spot on. On the way home this afternoon I took a shortcut through a nearby neighborhood thinking it would be safer than the main road after an incident I had yesterday with a jerk in a work van. It was until I came across a few hooligans recklessly riding ATV's doing donuts in the street. The one took off down a side street and the other two about ran into the side of my car as I drove past. Hooligans like this have become a problem in the inner city lately, even blocking traffic for their stupid stunts, and now it looks like they've spread out to the suburbs. I'll never forget the motorcyclist I seen on the road with his head split open. My grandma chewed my grandpa out for taking me over to the accident scene. The cop took me over to the body and said "that's why you should wear a helmet when you ride you're bicycle." I don't remember how young I was at the time though, 6 or 7 I think.
