GREETING FROM SW OKLAHOMA:
WELL NEITHER OF THE HOMETOWN BOYS FAIRED VERY WELL TODAY AND IN THE END I GUESS THE WINNER WAS THE ONE THAT EVERYONE EXPECTED. I'M NOT SURE WHAT "THORN BUSCH'S" PROBLEM WAS BUT CAN SAY FOR SURE THAT KURT'S WAS NOT A PROBLEM OF HIS OR HIS TEAM'S MAKING, FOOLISHNESS ON THE PART OF THE E-G BOYS CAUSED KURT'S DAY TO GO TO HELL IN A HANDBASKET EARLY, AND THAT IS A SHAME. I THINK IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN COOL TO SEE HIM WIN AT HOME.
THIS IS HOW I SAW THE RACE, AND I MUST ADMIT I MISSED A LITTLE OF IT DUE TO GOING TO PICK UP GRANDAUGHTER AT WORK BUT I DON'T REALLY THINK I MISSED ENOUGH TO HAVE ALTERED HOW I SAW IT.
SPECIAL HOT:
THE YOUNG MAN WHO DID THE NATIONAL ANTHEM WAS SUPER, I SHOULD BE ASHAMED I MISSED HIS NAME AT THE START, BUT NASCAR NEEDS TO GET THAT GUY UNDER CONTRACT TO DO IT EVERY WEEK AT EVERY RACE. THIS MAN DID THE BEST VOCAL VERSION OF IT I HAVE HEARD SINCE I STARTED WATCHING NASCAR.
NOT:
1. JAMIE McMURRAY: THIS IS DEJA VU ALL OVER AGAIN, HE STARTED GREAT WHEN HE FIRST CAME ON THE SCENE, HE WON A RACE, HIS SECOND RACE THEN HE SORT OF WENT TO POT, THIS SEASON HE STARTS OUT WINNING THE DAYTONA 500 AND IS NOW HEADED BACK TO THE POT. OF COURSE, WITH HELP LIKE HE GOT FROM HIS SOUTH AMERICAN TEAMMATE TODAY IT IS NO WONDER.
2. BRUTON SMITH: GOOD GRIEF THIS MAN HAS MORE MONEY THEN CUSTER HAD INDIANS AND HE CAN'T PUT TOGETHER A LIGHT AND WARNING SYSTEM THAT WORKS OR AT LEAST HAS A WARNING BUZZER WHEN THERE IS A MALFUCTION. MY VOTE IS THAT KENTUCKY GETS NO NASCAR RACE TILL HE CAN GET THE LIGHTS FIXED AT THE TRACKS HE OWNS NOW.
3. JUAN MONTOYA: IF YOU HAVE A PROBLEM WITH A TEAMMATE GET WITH HIM AFTER THE RACE AND FIGHT IT OUT, BUT DON'T WHINE ON NATIONAL TV, THAT IS SOMETHING THAT WILL CAUSE MORE PROBLEMS THEN YOU CAN SHAKE A STICK AT. I WAS ALWAYS TOLD THAT WHEN IT COMES TO EMPLOYEES AND TEAMMATES, PRAISE IN PUBLIC AND CORRECT OR CRITIZE IN PRIVATE.
4. KEVIN CONWAY: I REALIZE THAT THIS IS A NEW KID ON THE BLOCK, BUT WHEN YOU BRING OUT 2 CAUTIONS BY YOURSELF YOU GOTTA THINK YOUR ROLLING NOTHING BUT SNAKE EYES. KEEP THIS PACE UP AND YOU MAY FIND IT HARD TO WIN THE ROOKIE OF THE YEAR, EVEN IF YOU ARE PRETTY MUCH THE ONLY ROOKIE RUNNING.
5. DALE EARNHARDT JR.: ONCE AGAIN JR. GETS A GOOD RUN FOR THE STARTING SLOT THEN RUNS THE FIRST OF THE RACE LIKE A HOUSE A FIRE THEN ENDS THE RACE LIKE HE IS GOING BACKWARDS. IT MIGHT BE THAT A LITTLE LESS ARGUING DURING THE RACE WOULD HELP ALOT. I HAD LOOKED AWAY FROM THE TV WHEN THEY PLAYED THAT VOICE CLIP AND AT FIRST IT THOUGHT IT WAS KYLE BUSCH AND HIS CREWCHIEF.
HOT:
5. MATT KENSETH: MATT STARTED 11TH TODAY AND WORKED ALL DAY LONG TO GET TO THE FRONT. THERE WERE TIMES WHEN HE GOT EVER SO CLOSE BUT IN THE END HE HAD TO SETTLE FOR 5TH, BUT EVEN A 5TH IS SO MUCH BETTER THEN MOST OF THE RACES HE RAN LAST YEAR, SO WHATEVER HE AND HIS NEW CREW CHIEF ARE DOING IT SURE SEEMS TO BE WORKING.
4. MARK MARTIN: THE NUMBER 3 MAN FOR HMS DID HIS EVERY SUNDAY DRIVE THROUGH THE PARK, JUST AS HE HAS DONE SO OFTEN THAT IT APPEARS TO BE OLD HAT, MARK MAKES IT LOOK SO SIMPLE YET WE ALL KNOW THAT IT IS ANYTHING BUT .
3. JEFF GORDON: 2 OR 4, 2 OR 4, I'LL BET YOU A BUCK THAT CHOICE NEVER COMES UP AGAIN. JEFF DROVE ALMOST A PERFECT RACE BUT AS HAS HAPPENED TO HIM MANY TIMES BEFORE HE ENDED UP A GROOMSMAN AND NOT THE GROOM. I AM SURE THAT JEFF WAS BURNING UP INSIDE BUT HE WAS THE PERFECT TEAMMATE WHILE IN FRONT OF THE CAMERA, I THINK JUAN SHOULD TAKE A LESSON.
2. KEVIN HARVICK: KEVIN STARTED 34TH AND AFTER WORKING HARDER THEN A ONE-LEGGED MAN AT A BUTT KICKING CONTEST FINISHED SECOND, ANYONE WHO DOESN'T THINK RCR IS BACK JUST NEEDS TO LOOK AT THE FINISHES FOR TODAY 2,8,11 THESE ARE A SURE SIGN THAT ALL IS GOOD AT RCR TODAY.
1. JIMMIE JOHNSON: AND THE WINNER IS JIMMIE JOHNSON. WHAT ELSE CAN YOU SAY, IT HAS ALL BEEN SAID BEFORE. I THINK MAYBE THEY NEED TO START MAKING JIMMIE START 43RD AND ONE LAP DOWN, AT LEAST THAT WOULD GIVE THE REST OF THE FIELD A FIGHTING CHANCE.
WELL THAT IS HOW I SAW THE RACE, I HOPE A COUPLE OF YOU AGREE AND EVEN IF YOU DON'T CHIME IN WITH WHAT YOU SAW.
THAT'S MY OPINION - WHAT'S YOURS

Excellent as usual.
ReplyDeleteThe young man who sang the anthem is Terry Fater. He's a ventriloquist by trade. A few years ago, he won America's Got Talent. My understanding is that he took over for Sigfried and Roy at the Mirage.
Juan Pablo's whine would have been better if he would have simply said "Hello. My name is Juan Pablo Montoya. You wrecked my race car. Prepare to die." (Hey Kristen. When you're in Phoenix, maybe you can ask JPM if he's found the six-fingered man yet :o).)
SPEED,
ReplyDeleteTHANKS FOR THE INFO ON THAT YOUNG MAN, HE WAS SUPER.
I AM JUST ONE OF THOSE GUYS WHO FEEL THAT TEAM PROBLEMS SHOULD NOT BE AIRED IN PUBLIC, YOU KNOW THE UNITED FRONT AND ALL THAT. BUT MONTOYA SEEMS TO ONLY EVER LOOK OUT FOR HIMSELF.

Hot: The inside of Jeff Gordons helmet.
ReplyDeleteNot: Steve LeTarte
Hot: This Jeff Gordon fan
Not: Jeff feel good comments about his team
Hot: JJ and Chad
Not: NASCAR...... I'm bored with it. If it is the JJ show again this year I may not be the only one.
Nicely done gunny.
Katie.... chew, chew, chew like never before.
Another exciting episode with the Jimmie and Chad show today. Sadly I slept through most of it due to all the excitement.
ReplyDeleteDid Jimmie J. get another front place position out of the pits again?

ReplyDeleteGLAD YOU STOPPED BY. I THINK PART OF THE 2 TIRE DEAL GOES BACK A LONG WAY TO JEFF'S FIRST WIN. I BELIEVE IN WAS IN CHAROTTLE, IF I GOT THE STORY RIGHT THE LEADER WENT WITH 4 TIRES AND THE 24 TEAM TOOK 2 GOT OUT FIRST AND JEFF WON HIS FIRST RACE. I COULD BE MISTAKEN BUT I BELIEVE THAT IS HOW IT HAPPENED.
I AM WORRIED THAT THIS MAY BE ANOTHER JIMMIE THE KID SEASON AGAIN UNLESS THEY GET THAT WING OFF REALLY QUICK, OR CHAD COMES DOWN WITH A LACK OF VOICE.
GUNAQUAT
Well, since I didn't get to watch of the race yesterday, I will agree with your choices. LOL
ReplyDeleteBut three questions: 1. Can't anyone else at HMS or in Cup win besides JJ?
2. What happened to Ryan Newman?
3. How much snow do you still have on the ground?
Bonus: Did you feel the earthquake that happened out there in OK last week?
PHOTOGR,
ReplyDeleteNAW THIS TIME IT WAS 4 TIRES OVER 2 TIRES AND SOME BALLS TO THE WALL DRIVING BY "JIMMIE THE KID"

TSFAN:
ReplyDeleteI AM BEGINNING TO THINK THAT NO ONE HAS THE ABILITY TO THINK UNDER PRESSURE THE WAY CHAD AND JIMMIE DO. I REALLY BELIEVE THAT THE GUYS AT HMS COULD ABE GIVEN THE VERY SAME EXACT CAR THAT JIMMIE IS DRIVING AND HE WOULD STILL WIN.
I DON'T THINK ANYTHING HAPPENED TO RYAN OTHER THEN HE JUST SORT OF DRIFTED INTO NOTHINGNESS TOWARD THE END.
WE DON'T HAVE ANY SNOW STILL ON THE GROUND JUST COLD WEATHER, WIND AND CLOUDYNESS.
NO WE DIN'T FEEL THE EARTHQUAKE, TO TELL THE TRUTH IF WE HAD WE WOULD HAVE JSUT THOUGHT THAT IT WAS THE CANNONS FROM FT. SILL FIRING. WE HAVE WALLS SHAKING AND WINDOWS RATTLING ALL MY LIFE, SO IT WILL HAVE TO BE A BIGGIE BEFORE ANYONE IN LAWTON WOULD NOTICE.

ReplyDeleteI TRIED TO RETHINK MY CONVERSATION WITH MY BROTHER-IN-LAW FROM LAST NIGHT AND I THINK HE SAID IT WAS RUSTY WALLACE WHO GORDON BEAT IN THAT FIRST RACE ON JUST A 2 TIRE CHANGE.
GUNAQUAT
Good 'un GUNNY! Cant disagree with any of your picks and particularly NOT going to the tracks - with two of the first three races having problems - it is totally unacceptable. Who wouldda thunk I was at the best race so far at FONTANA?!?!?
ReplyDeleteBodes badly for the year...
KRIS,
ReplyDeleteWELL ONLY TIME WILL TELL ABOUT THAT BUT YOU KNOW YOU WOULD THINK THAT A LTTLE BETTER MAINTENANCE WOULD BE TAKEN.
KRIS DO YOU THINK THAT IF THE ENTRY LINE AND EXIT LINE ON PIT ROW WERE STANDARD DISTANCE ON EVERY TRACK THAT IT MIGHT AID THE DRIVERS WITH THE PIT ROW SPEEDING.
