I meant to post something last week before the Daytona 500, but taking care of 5 children (6 if you include my husband) is a lot of hard work and finding "Me" time is sparse.
So I had it in my mind I would post something AFTER the Daytona 500. Well, that all went to shit when I was immediatly infuriated.. absolutely outraged by Tony Stewart's decision to punt Matt Kenseth into the wall for no apparent reason and more than ruin his chances of winning the Daytona 500. Matt was the car beat. Call me biased, but Matt was kicking ass and taking names.
So, making a Tony Stewart voodoo doll took a bit longer than I had expected. But it was all part of my healing process and I think I'm over the horrible events of Nascar last week. I mean, not only did Matt get taken out of contention for no apparent reason, Chad Knaus was caught blatently cheating and was merely sent home for the weekend and suspended from 4 races. Big Deal.
My blood pressure is rising again.. So, I'll just drop all of the crap from last week, take a deep breath and move on.
Yay, California Speedway here I come. This is my home track and I am excited to be watching the race on TV. UGH.. can't make it to the cup race this time around, but I'll be at the track on Saturday meeting up with some of my fellow Matt Kenseth board mates. That will be fun.
Good luck with your fantasy teams and your favorite drivers. Thank god Nascar is back.

Have a good weekend BW.... Board get togethers can prove to be quite interesting.... met and made some life long friends off the Rudd and J.Burton boards. Met my GF at Richmond during a Rudd board get together - [:0]
Kenseth got hosed last weekend... Stewart should of been penalized at least a lap for sending the 17 into the grass and back up the track into traffic. Instead Nascar penalizes the 17 and 5 for infractions that were considerable less than what Stewart did - it was like Stewart forgot to take his meds or something.
No plates this weekend so we should get to see some real racing even if its not a short track. Roush drivers should fare well this weekend. Actually .... I'll be happy as long as its not someone from Broke Back Mountain Motorsports aka Hendrick racing who wins the race.

ha ha ha, that's pretty funny.
I'm taking my kids along for the Busch race. They will enjoy it. Matt is racing the Busch race so I'll at least get to see him race in person. He does well at California, so I am optimistic for this weekend.

It was a sad day for me because Rusty wasn't running and because JJ won the race. I might actually dislike him more than Gordon.
You knew Tony was going to get Kenseth back. Of all the drivers, he's the one most likely to retaliate, and doesn't really care if you know it's intentional or not. I'm only surprised he didn't find a way to punt Gordon for pinching into the wall early in the race.

Will you root for Kurt now, or do you have another driver to support? Kurt got the pole. That's pretty good. He's won Cali before - so he should be a front runner most of the day.

I don't like Kurt at all either. I live in Kansas City, so I'm thinking my new favorite should be from area (Bowyer, Edwards, McMurray) but I haven't decided which one yet.
My racing roots are in sprint car racing, so I'm partial to guys like Stewart, Newman, Kahne, Blaney and JJ Yeley. Watch for Kraig Kinser in the next couple of years. If you follow sprint car racing at all, he's Steve Kinser's son and his talent is immense.

I am kind of in the same boat Magoo...... I've been a Rudd fan since 94 and a J.Burton fan for quite awhile also. Having Burton around has made Rudd's retirement somewhat easier for myself but the GF is lamenting Rudd abdsence more than I.
She Likes Kurt and Kenseth because of the Fords but Kurt's move to a Dodge and the blue duece has been a hard pill to swallow. Pulling for that 2 car is tough being a Rudd fan. I kind of like Kurt - I think he is misunderstood in many ways and I do think he got jobbed by Jack Roush at Phoenix last year. I took a liking to Kurt and Matt when Jeff was at Roush with them.
Along with those drivers this year I have decided to keep and eye on K.Petty - I don't expect miracles but I do think the Petty organization is turning the corner.
I also have taken a liking to Burton's new teammate Clint Bowyer. The move to the RCR Chevy's was a tough one for me to adjust to but I have really started to warm to RCR since visiting the RCR shop and vineyards.
Don't really care for Harvick but I will admit he has been a good teammate to Jeff.
If either you or Beer Wench is interested ... Bowyer has a nice website with a message forum up and running for a little over a week now.
