ReplyDeleteKurt's vacation videos are supposed to be private. hmmm... may be enjoying something more exotic than Budweiser!

ReplyDeleteF1 quals going on now having been washed out yesterday....track was under about an inch of water, lol

ReplyDeleteTez, I wish NASCAR would do the SAME THING as F1 if qualifying gets rained out on a Friday! Have Saturday morning qualifying, particularly if Nationwide races in a different track.

Drivers to Watch (YAHOO SPORTS):
ReplyDeleteJamie McMurray McMurray won the pole for the spring race at Fontana, but he ended up 17th in the race. McMurray has five top-10 finishes in 14 starts at the track. "I don't know what it is about racing at Fontana, but it's a track that I really enjoy coming to," said McMurray. "Auto Club Speedway is more of a driver's track where you as the driver can really dictate your times by which line you choose on the race track."
Han just posted on Spinout: Shane Hmiel in critical condition with a broken back and two broken vertebrae in his neck after a USAC wreck in Terre Haute.:(

ReplyDeleteThanks all! I couldn't have done it without Jimmie's golden horse shoe!
ReplyDeleteTez, I watched the whole race. Seems like bad luck was heavy in Japan, and California this weekend!
I don't have no hex! But if I do, I'll be sure to use it wisely. lol
Horse something but not a golden shoe!
ReplyDeleteKristen I think that Hex is all yours based on what happened to Kurt!
Hey SB... What do we get for second place???
I guess even a blind old squirrel finds an acorn every once in a while...
Congratulations CR!
