We'll be swinging by Daytona to watch some NASCAR practice runs - they allow such fun access to the pit area!!!

Oh Yeah, it's started. For me, the signal is NASCAR The Hub, on the SPEED channel. So, it's going to be watching racing stuff on TV on weekends, and fishing/RVing on Tuesday/Wednesday/Thursday.

Wonder how long it will take before fans get sick of the princess and her hissy fits? Good luck with her NASCAR...I'm sure you'll clean up on the publicity. The only driver that will consistently finish in the bottom 1/3 and get as much coverage and interviews as a consistent top 10 finisher. Gotta love it!

Hey Cloud......putting Tony and Pee Wee in the same post used to irritate me. But now I think it kinda' puts Tony in Alter Boy status by comparison
Adding Danica to the mix, well the jury is still out on that one. Maybe she will shame Jr into trying harder

I was there and snuck into their tent behind the wall and observed. It was about 3:00AM, raining, I had a poncho on and nobody was paying attention to anything but the race. One of the last years I went. I used to go most years since the early 70's but then the Frances started getting really greedy. Then when they tore down the old pit building and replaced them with walled versions to keep the fans out, I quit going in disgust.

I really don't believe there's a cure for it. Did changing your name help?

I normally don't watch, except that I saw where 'the Dinger' was running up front. So, I'm watching the race now, with a couple of hours to go. It sure looks like it'll get exciting at the end.

GO DINGER!
