Life is too exciting. While in Charlotte last week, I got a private tour of the number 8 shop. They don't even give public tours! They don't allow pics either, but they allowed my escort to take one of me next to JR's COT for Bristol.
Go Tony.....Go JR!

however don't go Tony lol....but yea i'll agree about JR....
and would you believe Mark is number one in points and didn't race last weekend????? sighs..the year he is leading he decides to do only limited racing...ahh such is my luck..
As a matter of fact, I will be at the Texas race. I fly out Thursday night and have a meeting with some speedway folks on Friday, then they've comped me tickets for the rest of the weekend. Life is good!
As for this past weekend, that was the perfect chance for Gordon and Johnson to wreck each other and it didn't happen.

I really enjoyed the Nashville Busch race yesterday. Carl Edwards still won, but that doesn't bother me at all, really. Pretty fun race to watch, especially since no Cup race today. Here is the top 10 from that race yesterday.

He hasn't qualified since Daytona. This past weekend they didn't have qualifying because of the tornados so he had to go home again. On top of that, Reutimann's car was really good and almost certainly would have qualified but he also had to go home because of the weather.
That was the first time I had ever watched the "go home" cars actually pack up and leave the race track at the same time I did.
My TX weekend
What a blast!
I arrived at the track Friday morning around 10:30 where I was given my credentials and then a tour of the track and grounds. Then I talked some business with the sales manager for awhile then I was on my own with VIP access.
I walked around the vendor area taking pictures of people and their dogs. Then I watched Cup practice from my suite. I hung out in the suite hopeful that qualifying would go off and even more hopeful that they'd show the Dale movie, which they were scheduled to do at 8pm. But the tornadoes came and they made us move into the stairwells til it was over. Then I drove back to my friend's place for the night.
I went in again Saturday morning and watched practice and met some nice guys from Corpus Christi who were also in my suite. We ate and drank and goofed around and watched the Busch race. Then I went back to my friend's and she and I went out.
Sunday morning it took me 2 hours to drive the 24 miles to the track thanks to all the insane traffic. When I got there, I went down to the pits with my VIP pass and got pics of JR and Tony's pit stalls, then they pushed the 43 car right by me and I got pics of that. Then I went back to the suite and partied with my new friends while we watched the race. When Montoya wrecked Tony I leapt out of my chair and banged the glass of the suite. One of my new pals said "Settle down Trigger- someone get her another drink." The race had a great finish even though Tony didn't finish well and the 8 didn't finish at all. We hung out in the suite til they kicked us out, then my new friends drove me to my car which took about an hour thanks to the traffic. Then I went and picked up my friend and went to the hotel where my new friends were, ate and played pool til about midnight.
Then today, after hours of delayed flights, I finally made it home. What a ROCKIN' weekend!

So what do you think of Junior finishing the race in Kyle Busch's car (#5)?
damn Lynn, were you aware that JD was also in texas for the race??? how cool was that? wtg Jeff Burton..i'm so glad he won...
and damn Lynn, sounds like you had a blast alright...i was looking for JD, he promised to moon the camera for me...did you by any chance happen to see that? hehe...
and whooohooo Mark Martin..finished either second or third..
to the person up above me, i didn't know that Jr. did that..hmm

All in all, I don't think it's a big deal. Kyle left the track and they needed someone to drive the car. Jr was available and he's a good guy so he did it. All this talk about it being an "audition" for HMS or a way for him to test their engines sounds like Kennedy conspiracy theory to me.
Of course if he did learn something useful about the car or the engine, then peachy for him.

I did know JD was there but my seats were about 3/4 of a mile from his seats so there was no way I was gonna hike all that way! I didn't see JD moon anyone as far as I know, but I do have a lovely picture of some other guy's naked ass as he showed it to me on my way out of the parking lot. That's what I get for driving with my window open at 2 mph. Lots of drunken fellows putting their heads (and other parts) in my window like hungry giraffes on a safari tour.

ack he told me that after the race one time, as they were driving out, men would shout for the women to bare their breasts, and he saw many females raising their tops...so he decided to moon the crowd hehe...are you sure the guy in the picture isn't JD? and gesh did they really try to put other body parts in your window? hmm doesn't sound so fun to me lol....
anyway..glad you had a good time..i would like to go, sort of...
did anyone else hear tony's commit on retiring? i quess he made it in texas.
his contract is up in 2010 and i know he don't like all the politics that's in nascar these days.
he loves racing on dirt more anyway so it would not surpise me if he is looking at other opportunities.

I heard it. I'm somewhat torn between thinking it was typical Tony in a snit over some obnoxious fans and thinking that you're right about him being happier in a dirt car. It may be that when he has all the money he thinks he needs, he'll leave the annoying life of a professional big time stock car driver.
