Now why did SHE refuse to go in??? Hmmmm.....
Happy Birthday by the way Hot Shot!!  

Been a busy silly season week.
Chase Briscoe will be driving the Joe Gibbs Racing #19 next year replacing Martin Truex Jr. Christopher Bell accidentally let that slip out during a New Hampshire practice interview. 
Gene Haas has decided to keep the last Stewart Haas Racing charter and run one Cup car next season as well as the Xfinity car team. It's expected that Cole Custer will drive the cup car next year. 

What a week this has been. Dad got out of the hospital Tuesday. Found one of the elderly lady's I mow for dead in her bed Wednesday. These mid to upper 90's all week long have done a number on the plants and us. Wife had my birthday today planned out but of course "Mr. Dependable" was needed . So after the plans were ruined, might I add by the way for nothing  I figured I'd get the  lawns done so I could at least sleep in and relax tomorrow.

In the NASCAR Rumor mill today.... Kyle Busch is rumored to be possibly going back to Joe Gibbs Racing if Martin Truex Jr retires, which is a possibility after his R-word rant at Sonoma he might get cancelled by the easily offended. Noah Gragson is rumored to be heading to RCR and RCR is rumored to have bought a 3rd charter, possibly one of the SHR charters. 

After getting stuck in traffic during one of the pit stop cautions he ranted about the other drivers and calling them retarded. And of course it is now making the rounds on social media with people hoping he gets fined or forced to go to "sensitivity" training. 

Personally I think team radios should be off limits to the public because drivers are adults and will let the cuss words fly and other remarks not fit for PG tv. Children shouldn't hear that anyways. So far it doesn't appear NASCAR will be punishing Martin Truex jr. 
In other news Fox and Indycar have reached a deal. Fox will broadcast all 17 Indycar races of Fox stations. To make this happen Fox has moved all but 5 of the cup series races they will get next year to FS1. 
As an Indycar fan this is great news...but as a NASCAR fan this means I'm only watching 5 races on Fox next year. Though some of those were already moved due to the USFL games anyways.

According to NASCAR insiders Martin Truex jr will announce his retirement tomorrow.

The team radios are open to the broadcaster in F1, but there is a short delay before selected exchanges are played to the public, which gives them time to bleep out bad language.

The same is happening in others sports too. Rugby referees have had microphones for a while and I think soccer referees might have them too.

Back in 2013, they decided to give microphones to the coxes of the annual Oxford/Cambridge boat race in London. One of them spent the whole race using swear words to encourage their crew. I think the lesson was learned there!

The Canadian Grand Prix started in very wet conditions, but only the two Haas cars started on full wet tires, with everyone else on the intermediates. Initially, it seemed like the right choice for Haas, but the track started to dry, and the advantage was gone.

There were a couple of safety cars due to crashes (something we don't get very often these days), and through it all Max Verstappen managed to claim another win. His team mate, Sergio Perez (who's just signed with Red Bull for another two years), was one of those who didn't make the finish, along with both Ferraris. Behind Max were three British drivers, Lando Norris in the first McLaren and then George Russell and Lewis Hamilton in their Mercedes. Oscar Piastri was fifth in the second McLaren. You can see the race highlights here.

It was obviously a bad weekend for Ferrari, but McLaren and Mercedes seem to be closing the gap to Red Bull. We have a two-week break now before three races in a row back in Europe at the Spanish, Austrian and British Grand Prix.

Sad news in western Pennsylvania. 3 young men were killed Saturday evening when they slammed into a tree. Ages 17, 19 and 21. They rode dirt bikes on local MX tracks. Trying to figure out if I have any action shots of them from the race I went to on June 1. I don't know any of them though. 

reminds me of a Johnny Paycheck song....Take this  2x4 and shove it....!

Bring him to the mountains of Tn. You know, where the Beaudrys  have their hideout. Some people have gone there and were never seen again!

Since apparently they were told to do that by the district manager I figured I'd take it a step further and soaked the ground in weed and grass killer this morning since we're not allowed to have flowers there anymore so nothing will grow there for a long time. I am so over dealing with all the BS from this new district manager. Can't have this can't have that can't do this can't do that, fine for this fine for that. About ready to tell her to stick a 2x4 where the sun don't shine.  

It's based off the video game of the same name. Years ago Nissan did a tournament with Gran Turismo and the best sim racers got a shot at a Nissan factory race team.
Got home from picking the car up at the tire shop today, turned out to be something I ran over though I've never seen a screw like that before, anyways the lawn crew was nice enough to weed whack our asters and allysums.
