ReplyDeleteI think you'd know by now that I am rather weird, Gene...I mean really, picking Elliott Sadler last year in one of these things? Not sure what was worse, me doing that or him pulling through in the Cup race and winning it for me, LOL!
ReplyDeleteTruck - Austin
ReplyDeleteIRL - Dario
Cup - Jamie
Tez.... JPM does have some great finishes here recently... but a non-Chaser winning the first Chase race? NASCAR won't sit idly by while that happens. LOL
ReplyDeleteSorry about last weeks everyone - Wisconsin got the best of me.
ReplyDeleteTrucks - Harvick
IRL - Dario
Cup - Smoke

Oh, and tez- Tony understands that I have to do whatever is necessary to win :o)
Oh well...
ReplyDeleteHow about I switch to college football...
GO TEXAS TECH!!! Whoop them dang short horns!
Dwindy-
ReplyDeleteLet's hope so. All I can say is if Tech loses, Tommy Tuberville is out at the end of the season. There's still a lot of anger and resentment toward the athletic department over Mike Leach, and this game will be make or break.
(And for the record, the reason Mike Leach didn't beat Texas more often is that the Big 12 allows UT to use Austin based refs for home games. All the other schools have to use refs outside their home area.)
Texas-smexas! =) How 'bout them WILDCATS baby!! Woot! Bear Down Arizona!!
ReplyDeleteAND Helio wins! Great night for me!!
How 'bout Helio baby!! He ran away with the race. ...and Danica get's another top 5!
