I hope today's race goes better then yesterdays.

Yeah, but it gave me a chance to shop and watch the race. Just as I got home they said only 88 laps run, because of the snow storm. Today it's church then the race and washing clothes. I think someone very wise said "who said Sundays were for resting"......let me think>>>? Oh yeah that was you!

Man ... this race upset me today. At least Dale Jr finished in the top 15. And he moved up a spot in the standings.

But I've got one word for Mr. Jeffie Gordon. KARMA. It's a [bleep], ain't it. He spun out Martin Truex Jr and then Matt Kenseth took him out.

And I REALLY hope Jeffie get's some sort of penalty for that crap he pulled with Matt after the race. THAT was totally uncalled for. And the wuss wasn't even man enough to take his helmet off first.

It was not really him, it was Fernando from the Mark Martin commercials doing his stunt double thing.

Gordon fined $10K for incident with Kenseth
Veteran says he's through worrying about what people think of him

Jeff Gordon says the person that NASCAR fined $10,000 on Tuesday for shoving Matt Kenseth after Sunday's race at Bristol Motor Speedway is closer to who he is than what fans have seen.

Gordon, also placed on probation until Aug. 30, 2006, took a two-handed jab at Kenseth on pit road when Kenseth approached him to explain the bump that sent the four-time Nextel Cup champion from third place to 21st on the final lap.

I am completely dumb-founded. Dale Jr was involved in the wreck on the 2nd lap ... tore the front of the car up pretty good. I figured his day was over. But where is he running right now ... 6th place!!! He's almost in the top 5 with a car that looks like a POS. Talk about crazy. I guess that's short track racin' for ya.

Yeah, you don't need a good nose for short-track racing, just a good engine and good brakes and of course a good driver.

Jr. did real good.

NASCAR's Kyle Busch pulled over for reckless driving

April 14, 2006

RICHMOND, Va. (AP) -- NASCAR driver Kyle Busch was ticketed for reckless driving in a Richmond suburb Wednesday night.

The misdemeanor charge carries up to a year in jail, a $2,500 fine and a driver's license suspension, said Sgt. Don Lambert, with Henrico County police. The charge also calls for a mandatory court appearance; Busch will appear in Henrico County General District Court on May 23.

Lambert said the incident happened at 10 p.m. near Richmond International Airport, a few minutes outside the city.

Neither speed nor alcohol was a factor, though Lambert would not provide further details.

"The officer observed his driving behavior consistent with reckless driving," he told The Associated Press late Thursday night.

The 20-year-old Busch, who drives for Hendrick Motorsports, grabbed his Busch first series victory on May 14, 2004, at Richmond International Raceway. He went on to four more victories and completed the year with five poles and five wins, becoming the youngest top rookie in Busch series history at age 19.

Tuesday, Busch again appeared at the Richmond raceway for the Virginia kickoff of "Focus on Driving," Sprint Nextel's attentive driving education program.

Busch's older brother and NASCAR star, Kurt, had his own legal problems because of a traffic incident last year.

Kurt Busch was sat down by Rousch for the final two races last year and authorities ordered him to perform 50 hours of community service after he became belligerent with Phoenix area police during a 2005 traffic stop. He was charged with reckless driving.

Busch later apologized.

Henrico County authorities said the younger Busch, who lives in Mooresville, N.C., was cooperative.

Busch on Richmond ticket: I 'chirped' my tires
Reigning Cup rookie of the year was trying to get some chicken

Kyle Busch said Friday that he was ticketed for reckless driving after he "chirped'' his tires while pulling out of a gas station and into a fast-food restaurant next door.

Busch received the ticket Wednesday night in a Richmond suburb. The misdemeanor charge carries up to a year in jail, a $2,500 fine and a driver's license suspension, said Sgt. Don Lambert, with Henrico County police. Busch will appear in Henrico County General District Court on May 23.

Lambert said the incident happened at 10 p.m. near Richmond International Airport, a few minutes outside the city. He declined to provide details.

However, Busch offered his version to reporters at the Nashville Superspeedway in Tennessee on Friday. He said the parking lots of the gas station and the Kentucky Fried Chicken are not connected, so he had to pull onto the street to get to the restaurant.

Busch said he could see traffic approaching after a light changed "so I pulled out of the gas station, I chirped my tires, went about 20 feet at less than 10 mph and turned into the KFC, which was right next door.''

He said he stopped in the KFC lot to allow some pedestrians to pass, then continued to the drive-through window.

"As I was in the drive-through, I had completed my food order before seeing any blue lights behind me,'' he said. "That's when I saw the blue lights and just stayed put and waited for them to come up to my window.''

The 20-year-old Busch drives for Hendrick Motorsports, which provided a transcript of his remarks at the Nashville track. He grabbed his first Busch first series victory on May 14, 2004, at Richmond International Raceway. He went on to four more victories and completed the year with five poles and five wins, becoming the youngest top rookie in Busch series history at age 19.

Tuesday, Busch again appeared at the Richmond raceway for the Virginia kickoff of "Focus on Driving,'' Sprint Nextel's attentive driving education program.

Busch's older brother and NASCAR star, Kurt, had his own legal problems because of a traffic incident last year.

Kurt Busch was sat down by Roush Racing for the final two races last year and authorities ordered him to perform 50 hours of community service after he became belligerent with Phoenix area police during a 2005 traffic stop. He was charged with reckless driving, and later apologized.

Kyle Busch said his brother's traffic incident didn't cross his mind when he was stopped in his Buick Rendezvous.

"The thing that came to my mind was, `Holy cow, where did they come from? What did I do?' I really didn't understand what the situation was and what exactly I had done wrong,'' he said.

Henrico County authorities said the younger Busch, who lives in Mooresville, N.C., was cooperative.

Ok, why is he eating chicken, he needs to just cut that out!!!

Biffle's girlfriend reprimanded for incident

By Jenna Fryer, The Associated Press

CONCORD, N.C. (AP) -- Greg Biffle's girlfriend faces a reprimand from NASCAR about her pit-road confrontation with Kurt Busch's fiance after the two drivers wrecked at Texas Motor Speedway.

Busch hit the back of Biffle's car early in Sunday's race, causing an accident that ended Biffle's day. Biffle, the defending race winner, had led 49 of the first 82 laps before the crash and wound up 42nd.

Moments after the wreck, TV cameras caught girlfriend Nicole Lunders slamming a water bottle on Biffle's pit box. She then marched down pit road and climbed halfway up Busch's box and had a heated exchange with Eva Bryan. The brief confrontation created a buzz in NASCAR, and the sanctioning body wants to cool down the emotions.

"There will be some conversations that will be had with the people that participated, and we'll make sure that this doesn't carry on and into the garage or anywhere else," Robin Pemberton, vice president of competition, said Wednesday. "You've got to remember, most everybody in the garage area is friends, and those two girls in particular have a close relationship. Tempers flare, and we'll look at that and we'll make sure it doesn't carry on any further than that."

Biffle and Busch spent three seasons as Cup teammates at Roush Racing and had a friendly relationship that often put their girlfriends in the same social settings. Both drivers were testing at Richmond International Raceway on Wednesday and not immediately available for comment.

NASCAR does not have a steadfast rule against team members entering other pit boxes, but generally frowns upon it if the reason for approaching the area stems from something that happened in a race.

"When altercations and things like that happen, we recommend that you stay in your own area," Pemberton said. "You can go have a conversation, but it can't be heated per se."

Family members are typically given entrance to the track on a "license" that recognizes them as a team member, meaning their actions can be policed by NASCAR and the sanctioning body reserves the right to revoke their pass at any time.

Lowe's Motor Speedway president Humpy Wheeler said wives and girlfriends had a stormy history during NASCAR's early days, and many have been thrown out of tracks because of their behavior.

"That kind of stuff was common back in the old days, everybody was fighting back then, especially the women," Wheeler said. "But there wasn't the TV coverage we have today, so it wasn't that big of a deal."

Sounds like a great PPV event.

Is it wrong to watch Nascar waiting for that elusive right turn?

No, you can watch for that on the the road courses and of course the turns into the wall.......is that what you meant you silly?
