NASCAR


The NASCAR chase for the championship officially starts with today’s race in New Hampshire. For us NASCAR fans, no chase can officially begin until David Letterman has does his 10 Ten with the top twelve drivers who will be fighting it out over the next 10 races. My money is on Kyle Busch. My hope is on Dale Jr. and I will be cheering when Tony “Smoke” Stewart wins his first race of the season. Let’s go racing boys!

By midnight tonight, the NASCAR 18 wheelers will be heading West. I love NASCAR week. If you ask anyone at my work in the days leading up to the big NASCAR weekend, I’m pretty much telling people to watch where they go next weekend…cause the roads will be packed! Sonoma County only has 2 lane roads leading to the track. This year, my sister will be attending her first NASCAR race. In our family, she is the die hard IRL fan..while I have been known for switching to the dark side towards NASCAR. But like I tell anyone who attends a NASCAR race at Infineon Raceway…you too will be turned.

Get ready Sonoma County…the big bad boys of the South are on their way…

Have you thought to check around your work lately to see who really is on your team? Make sure it is not Brian Vickers. As NASCAR fans witnessed on Sunday at Talladaga, Mr. Brian Vickers in the #25 car, who is Jimmie Johnson’s teammate, “oh accidently” (yeah right) bump drafted Johnson right into Dale Jr. in the 3rd turn on the last lap to create a crash that sent Johnson and Dale Jr. down off the track and into the dirt. This allowed Vickers smooth sailing into 1st place. Let’s just say, Vickers is no team player. Don’t worry Jimmie, I would of helped you out. I mean..come on Vickers..you are not even in the race for the chase, yo! They should now start running commercials that instead of saying “Let me ask Jimmie Johnson”, they should now show people picking teams and everyone says, “I pick Jimmie Johnson!” (more…)
