Posted Wednesday November 25, 2009, About: Mayfield digging into France divorce

I heard that Brian France is going to marry Danica Patrick and have Jeremy Mayfield as their best man.
Or was that just a bad dream?

Posted Wednesday November 25, 2009, About: Knaus commits to Hendrick

Johnson-Knaus are even better that Gordon-Evernham. Both teams annoy(ed) me. They win so much they take the fun out of it for everyone else. But they have the goods. No doubt about that.

Posted Tuesday November 24, 2009, About: What will Danica do?

At least they have a new picture of Danica. And she looks like a girl in this one!

Posted Sunday November 22, 2009, About: Stewart backs off Earnhardt slam

Remember a couple of years ago when after a wreck, Clint Bower said on his radio, 'Michael Waltrip is the worst driver in NASCAR'. I still laugh about that one.

Posted Saturday November 21, 2009, About: Kahne skeptical of RPM return

I agree, Little E. Kahne could win a lot more if he was with a better team.

Posted Saturday November 21, 2009, About: Lifetime deal for Knaus?

I find it hard not to like Johnson. And believe me, I've tried. But it's VERY easy to dislike Knaus. It's not so much that he has been caught cheating repeatedly, but that he refuses to admit that he did cheat. Maybe he's waiting until he retires, but now he may never retire. A lifetime contract. Good grief.

Posted Friday November 20, 2009, About: Wallace switching to Toyota

So now Steven will be wrecking Japanese cars instead of American cars. That's all.

Posted Thursday November 19, 2009, About: Marlin denies retirement plans

If he's not retiring I take back whatever I said yesterday.

Posted Thursday November 19, 2009, About: Sources: NASCAR shifting to fuel injection

Yeah Pond, I recall the same thing. Fuel injection would be impossible to regulate, so the saying went. I guess that was LAST year.

And I like your puppy.

Posted Tuesday November 17, 2009, About: Hamlin: Keselowski's 'a moron'

He won Talladega in April. His car was pretty much intact.

Posted Tuesday November 17, 2009, About: Sterling Marlin to retire

I liked Marlin. He was an unabashed 'good old boy'. His type is almost non-existent now. I'll miss him.

Posted Tuesday November 17, 2009, About: Hamlin: Keselowski's 'a moron'

While I think that Kesolowski is overly aggressive at times (a lot of times) I also see Hamlin as a constant whiner and complainer. I was tired of his act years ago.

Posted Sunday November 15, 2009, About: What's wrong with Roush?

So how glad do you think Mark Martin is that he escaped freom Rousch?

Posted Sunday November 15, 2009, About: Burton: Danica welcome in NASCAR

Burton is right, as he most often is. If she can compete she'll keep racing. If she is NASCAR's version of Michelle Wie she won't. Doesn't cost us as fans anything to find out.

Posted Saturday November 14, 2009, About: Hamlin wants equal say

Like him or not, Gordon has the cred because he has the championships. History is writen by the winners. Apparently a lot of the future is as well.

Posted Saturday November 14, 2009, About: NASCAR boss fights to keep case quiet

I wonder how much all this is costing him.

Posted Friday November 13, 2009, About: Inside RPM layoffs, switches

It does seem a little odd that there is no racing news here.

Posted Friday November 13, 2009, About: HANS finds more counterfeit safety products

Hmmm. I wonder of somebody here is getting bribed or something?
Just wondering.

Posted Wednesday November 11, 2009, About: Almirola sues Earnhardt Ganassi

About Sadler: How many times have you heard his name this year while he was ON the track. I can think of maybe two. I like him, but he never quite made it as a top driver.

Posted Wednesday November 11, 2009, About: Sponsorship trend of the future

How about racing five fewer times a year? That could save a buck or two for everybody.

Posted Saturday November 07, 2009, About: Gordon admits urging Talladega limits

What 'race' did we see last week? That travesty at Talladega was no race. I'll say again, and I know I'll take some grief, but if they never raced at Talladega again it would be okay with me. It's either boring or dangerous, and I mean a lot more dangerous than racing needs to be.
