good morning all....drizzly and grey here in the Olympic city but it looks fine and sunny at 'tona :)
ReplyDelete13 minutes into the broadcast and we've already had 3 mentions of Danica. What's the over/under for that today???
ReplyDeleteI'm listening to some music until closer to race time, LOL
ReplyDeletehey guys, its been awhile. almost time for racing again.
ReplyDeleteany predictions for the first caution; early, late?
ReplyDeletebased on yesterday, I'd say early
ReplyDeleteif we go with that train of thought, it has to be before the first lap is done, LOL
ReplyDeletei agree with the beagle. a couple early cautions, then they will settle down, and look for a rash of yellows in the late stages of the race.
ReplyDeleteHow about who will bring out the 1st caution- one of the usual suspects(Mikey, Brad Keselowski, etc.) or someone out of the blue????
ReplyDeleteOh yeah- in case anyone missed it on the Trifecta blog. Katie has chewed the nose off the JJ voodoo bear.
ReplyDeleteHey, Y'all....According to my dashboard, we are one away from 500 posts on Lug Nuts!!! Who will it be?lol
ReplyDeletebeware the wounded, nose missing, HMS guy :P
ReplyDeletedang. i forgot about the trifectas. i will have to look for it next week.
ReplyDeletei look for a menard, or someone in the back to create the early caution.
stork-
ReplyDeleteunfortunately because of the way the various series have scheduled their races, we won't be able to field another Trifecta until the weekend of March 27.
thanks speed
ReplyDeletei will look for it then.
dang, unmuted too early....Dario won the title the year before he came over, DW, so I fail to see how winning it last year after he went back means NASCAR helped him *rolls eyes*
ReplyDeleteatleast digger hasn't showed up yet.
ReplyDeleteoh yes he has. they were touting his appearance in the Chipmunks movie.
ReplyDeleteBTW- if someone will get Katie a stuffed Digger toy, she'll add it to the voodoo collection.
i must have missed it, lol.
ReplyDeleteIs it just me, or did E-Sads sunglasses look like those cheap 3D glasses you get at the movies????
ReplyDeletedo you think any of us would spend money on critter cam merchandise?
ReplyDeleteChecking in. What about the start and parkers. Did you note there were like none in the race yesterday?
ReplyDeleteBTW dialated to 2 Grandbaby is on his way
congrats yee.
ReplyDeleteGreat to see everyone!
ReplyDeleteI dont know that we can count high enough on the over/under on Danica...
I might be willing to part with some cash - Miller Lite's cash on a Digger to be chewed to bits next week!
First of many early wrecks started by...Danica?
Almost green flag!
Hey, I spent money on JJ merchandise, so Katie could have an authentic JJ voodoo object.
ReplyDeleteCongrats Yee!! You will now be officially referred to as "Go Grandmammyee"
ReplyDeleteAns if you believe that Kyle is going to play it cool, I've got some swamp land in Arizona I'd like to sell you. Contact the Real Estate firm of Dewey, Cheatham, and Howe.
ReplyDeleteSB; I thought the same thing about Kyle, LOL!
ReplyDeletegreen
ReplyDeleteIts not easy being...
ReplyDeletethere goes the Turtle!
ReplyDeleteSeems as if the boys are playing nice so far...
ReplyDeleteHim and JR need to just stay there in front out of the carp
ReplyDeleteTeeHee go 9 car
ReplyDeleteKristen, have you heard where Pat went? I have been out of the loop
ReplyDeleteYep, he is CC for Martin Truex...Luke the shock guy I did all those videos with also went to Truex and Napa.
ReplyDeleteWeird to see Kasey running the white car - knight in shining armor??
Caution lap 8
ReplyDeleteFREAKIN A! There goes Team Penske....and Max! =(
ReplyDeletejuggles lucky lug nut
ReplyDeletei bet roger's wondering bout bucky now!
ReplyDeletenice job by Jeff G to get through there.
ReplyDeleteWell BK started the first one, I believe someone had him picked...but looks like he slid in his own oil to me.
ReplyDeleteBad start for them Damn
ReplyDeleteSo far Kurt is happy what can go wrong? :)
ReplyDeleteatleast the blue deuce is still around.
ReplyDeleteTrue enuf but now he has no drafting partners and is the only Dodge out there! God knows no one will push Kurt....
ReplyDeleteUnless they push him off the track (sorry)
ReplyDeleteMark got hung out to dry there
Looks like he is gaining again though
ReplyDeleteLOL at the Bud car commercial
ReplyDeleteLike the old spice commercial too
ReplyDeleteCute Bud commercial!
ReplyDeleteLOL - thats about the only place they would push Kurt Yee...
Woot up to 3rd & 4th!
Good morning everyone! Happy's in the lead, but it might not last long.
ReplyDeleteoh my
ReplyDeleteThe Blue Deuce in the lead.
ReplyDeletewhat is up with wallmendinger?
ReplyDeleteWOOT!
ReplyDeletego AJ!
ReplyDeleteYea! I got AJ on the fantasy team. Thank god I almost picked Sam for today.
ReplyDeletearg I love this sport
ReplyDeleteBummer for Joey
ReplyDeleteYikes wheels on fire! That boy is HOT!
ReplyDeleteOR maybe these guys actually know how to drive and bide their time DW...
ReplyDeleteKurt's looking real strong right now.
ReplyDeleteso Dodge, Ford, Chevy and Toyota run 1-4....can anyone say 'parity'? :P
ReplyDeleteLove the Toyota commercial where the little girl is designing Kyle Busch's car! Kyle's reaction is priceless!
ReplyDeleteCaution out for Field Filler Joe!
ReplyDeleteBummer - Sam has been in bad spots a lot today.
ReplyDeleteKurt looking good and is happy with his car - listening to his in car radio...could be dangerous!
Those Toyota commercials are a total crackup!!
Could this be the day Kurt finally wins the 500? He's been dominant so far.
ReplyDeleteIsd it just me or should JR shave his face?
ReplyDeleteAnd what was up with that little spot with Kurt?
Grip griping
ReplyDeleteDidn't take long for Happy to get back to the front!
ReplyDeleteNot to mention, Pat has the Lug Nut.
ReplyDeleteKurt is always gripping! There is Pat on TV!
ReplyDeleteJr is keeping small animals and birds in his beard I think...
Caution is out...
ReplyDeleteoy
ReplyDeleteLook at the gains off the pits. Low cautions (so far) snicker
ReplyDeleteThey are behaving well compared to NW & Trucks anyway....
ReplyDeleteOOps for AJ
ReplyDeleteWhat happened to Marcos
BUMMER for AJ and Marcos! =(
ReplyDeleteHello, race fans.
ReplyDeleteKyle and I are still looking for a top-10 this weekend. WTH?
Understood. Bummer for Newman
ReplyDeleteI broke the curse maybe......... Karvick won a race while I was wearing his shirt. Guess I'll dig out Kasey's shirt ?:)
ReplyDeleteYee...it's not just you. Red beards look terrible...unless it's ZZ Top style.
ReplyDeleteI'm a little nervous because some of the guys up front now don't know how to handle it. (READ: Paul Menard)
ReplyDeleteHe needs lots more or lots less it's driving me nuts!
ReplyDeleteHarvick and Smoke are hooked up nose to tail. Not as nervous now.
ReplyDeleteLooks like Kurt picked the wrong line?
ReplyDeletenascar.com says Ambrose is in the garage :(
ReplyDeleteScuse me, Rowdy coming through.
ReplyDeleteLookee here! Harvick and Edwards hooking up nose to tail!!
ReplyDeleteWhere's the love?
ReplyDeleteNever said what happened to Marcos??
ReplyDeleteHey Gene -- Kyle is just biding time!
Kurt struggling with the no tire call...
he could be mad any minute now! LOL
I can't do the symbol here but I prefer YeeMum(squared)
ReplyDeleteJeff flexing those HMS muscles, lol
ReplyDeleteHello, Folks! Just woke up, watched too many 500s on ESPN Classic all night. Fox leaderboard says BOWYER just past Gordon!
ReplyDeleteRCR 1 and 2 right now!
ReplyDeleteGood to see Big Daddy stout.
ReplyDeleteHey Athens! Good Morning! =)
Bowyer's leading and Happy's right behind him!
ReplyDeleteGood morning sleepyhead!!
ReplyDeleteDid Chris Myers just say all Joe Gibbs cars lead today including "Tony Stewart"???
ReplyDeleteSheesh...FACT CHECK!
JR is using the whole track
ReplyDeleteJr auditioning for Days of Thunder II?
ReplyDeleteJunior got his sense of humor yet at least!
ReplyDeleteIt does keep cars away from him (who wants to get caught in that?)
ReplyDeleteIs that RA6AN I hear screaming all the way from California????
ReplyDeleteLOL SB! Could be!!
ReplyDeleteCaution out!
ReplyDeleteUmmm, guys??? Don't quit your day jobs.
ReplyDeleteThat's a cute Coke commercial!lol
ReplyDeleteUgh my ears are bleeding! =)
ReplyDeleteKurt back into the pits - some problem - vibration? Said there is a hole in the race track?!?!
The voodoo is working!
ReplyDeleteHarvick starting 7th--I'm confident that he can get back to the front, he has a VERY stout car.
ReplyDelete8" by 4" hole in the track - Fox hasnt mentioned it yet...paving equipment sent out to fix it.
ReplyDeleteNow DW is an expert on paving.lol
ReplyDeleteDarn I'm hungry but I am not leaving my TV or my computer. I need to do a bit of shopping (I have a new guy) but not going anywhere during the race GRIN
ReplyDeleteHey everyone!
ReplyDeleteAllmendinger has been pretty impressive so far. I had no clue how he'd do when I picked him as my "c" driver.
Send the new man out for shopping Yee! =)
ReplyDeleteHey Gonger! I have AJ too...seemed like the logical pick on the C team for some reason.
This just isnt a good showing for our biggest race- cant even keep pavement good!
Hey Gonger!
ReplyDeletewonder if I have time to make a quick munchie run?
ReplyDeleteGreat idea, but he is at work
ReplyDeleteYeeMum, I think you do!
ReplyDeleteThat and I have to counter the huge stuffed frog he gave me
ReplyDeleteWho does NOT have AJ? Show of hands. I thought so.
ReplyDeleteDoes he turn into a prince?lol
ReplyDeleteoil leak for Ambrose....the engine wouldn't fire either they say on his twitter page.
ReplyDeleteDang, Marcos had a good car. Details kill them alot...
ReplyDeleteThis is BORING!!! but at least we arent watching Digger
OOPS! Wrong graphic, Fox! They put Harvick's graphic on Bowyer's car!
ReplyDeleteI blame Digger for the hole in the track!
ReplyDeleteLOL!
ReplyDeleteWonder if Ragan might be little ticked at those FOX guys for making him get rid of his sunblocking glove...
ReplyDeleteJune bug is funny! Are you Serious!?!?!
ReplyDeleteHe seems to be a prince of a man, does that count?
ReplyDeleteAnd I blame Digger too!
Jr. is opening another Whiskey River in Jacksonville, something to fall back on if this racing thing doesn't work out.
ReplyDeleteJust a reminder for those of you so inclined- it is always open season for hunting gophers in Texas
ReplyDeleteThey need to repave that track starting TOMORROW.
ReplyDeleteI didn't know the GGW was meeting this week.
ReplyDeleteOh man this is SOOO BORING!!
ReplyDeleteWill be very surprising if no more gopher holes appear before race's end.
ReplyDeleteHope they get Danica's thoughts during this extended red flag.
ReplyDeleteTony's beard > than Jr's....but not much...LOL
ReplyDeleteBurns said, "waiting on the WHO to come out."?
ReplyDeleteMe + DW + one bullet = no more pain.
ReplyDeleteI'm taking suggestions for my NASCAR trip this year anyone have suggestions?
ReplyDeleteYeeMum, how about Sonoma again? Had a great time last year!
ReplyDeleteTwice now on the recaps Chris Meyers has sounded doubtful about BK's "tire excuse". Maybe Meyers ain't so bad after all.
ReplyDeleteI've been doing other things since the delay.
ReplyDeleteAny bubble about a mini meet this year?
ReplyDeleteExcept Myers thinks Smoke still drives for Gibbs
ReplyDeleteYee - Sonoma trip 2010!
I have a solution: REPAVE THE FRIGGING TRACK, STARTING TOMORROW!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteHammer drill
ReplyDeleteShort lengths of rebar
Hydraulic grout
Track would have been race ready in 15-20 minutes
P.S. Brian is still an idiot.
Well, Jon, as you know I'm not a huge road course fan. But if Kasey wants to win again I'd go if he sent me a pit pass LOL
ReplyDeleteOH I see if y'al gang up on the Sonoma idea I guess I will consider it.
ReplyDeleteI'll have to pony up and stay closer to you guys since there is no way I'm driving in that mess
If the track is like this after rain, I can only imagine what Texas will be like. They've got a foot of snow on the ground, plus all the melting and refreezing. I know the pot holes around here are growing exponentially.
ReplyDeleteI said Burns while ago, it's Meyers. I apologize to Steve Burns!lol
ReplyDeleteYeeMum, you bring him good luck so far! If you go, he'll win his second straight at Sonoma!
ReplyDeleteTonight's possible menu.
ReplyDeleteButter sauteed shrimp, mushrooms and zuchinni with creamcheese sauce served over angel hair pasta . Garlic bread.
Guys, does that say happy VDay to you?
use 2 bullets to make sure, Gene.
ReplyDelete2 bullets!lol
ReplyDeleteYee, it says, "YUMMY!" (And Happy V-Day!)
ReplyDeleteDanica...blah, blah, blah...Get me a bucket, I need to throw up!
ReplyDeleteRatings wise it might have been huge but........Jeez Danica is getting sooo much press.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the vote of confidence Jon.Next question.. If you sometimes "stay over" is it cool to get "jammie pants" as a gift? (asking the guys or anyone)
Yum Yee! YEs, stay in our hotel or close to us and we can carpool again.
ReplyDeleteI knew they couldnt not yak about Danica! Save a bullet for me Gene...
Little girls wanting to be like Danica? Great, as the race car driver. But those "little girls" want to look just like her! If you washed all that makeup off and took away the air-brushing in the magazines, what have you got?
ReplyDelete6 inch stilletos Athens?
ReplyDeleteMizz Mouse is mad at Thorn he is not in the top 10 right now
ReplyDeleteYee, I think it would be a VERY cool gift!
ReplyDeleteAthens, you'd have a woman with slightly above-average looks.
When are they going to resume racing?
ReplyDeletethe last place you stayed did not have smoking rooms we may need to negotiate.
ReplyDeleteSo I flip over to the Olympics figuring it's got to be more exciting than this. WRONG! They're showing cross country skiing.
ReplyDeletelol, K!
ReplyDeleteEd just said that "global warming" caused the hole in the track!lol
SB, at least you guys get the Olympics LIVE. Here on the west coast, they're TAPE DELAYED. THANKS AN F'ING LOT NBC!!!
ReplyDeleteI gotta post this from ED:
ReplyDelete"Another disappointing day for Team Yugo Motorsporzen NA, somebody, and I'm not going to point fingers here, left the eight track player on all last night playing ZZ Top's first album...battery deader than a doornail at the start of the race...we never made it out of the parking lot...in other news we had to drop Dr. Bob's Colon Blast as a sponsor after a product "related" accident, let's just say their slogan, "Best to have your pants down before you swig a Dr. Bob's" is right on the money..."
Yee - we can consider other places!
ReplyDeleteYea, Olympics are on West coast but we dont see them live....LAME !!!!
Now water is seeping through the seams
ReplyDeleteAthens- Tell Ed to get over here. We need him to break the monotony of not racing.
ReplyDeleteBummer SB
ReplyDeleteI stayed at the Ramada Inn and they had smoking and nonsmoking rooms, as I recall.
ReplyDeleteDrivers are heading back to their cars! Looks like we'll be racing soon!
ReplyDeleteEd isn't on FBook he must be posting on FOX yes kick him from me too Athens
ReplyDeleteWOot! Back to the cars...
ReplyDeleteI think the track cooling down and day turning to night, it favors Harvick.
ReplyDeleteMy cheap little hotel had both and wifi and a pool (i am a bit of a spendthrift myself) gave me more cash for swag LOL Are we trying for the other turnthis time? That was turn 7 I think? The terraced area we all liked
ReplyDeleteEd sent that in a message on FB and posted the global warming remark on his page, but that was a while ago.
ReplyDeletearg lets get racing again.
ReplyDeleteMight be some others joining this year like CR and maybe Socal24 too. We can figure out how to save $$...Turn 7 is my fav place to sit.
ReplyDeleteOh my this could cause interesting finishes
ReplyDeleteSTART YOUR ENGINES
YAAAAAAAAAAY! Engines fired up!!!!
ReplyDeleteTHank GOD! DOnt suppose this means we can go commercial free the rest of the race...
ReplyDeleteJon....what doesn't favor Harvick? Heh heh.
ReplyDeleteHave they turned the lights on yet?
ReplyDeleteKristen, is that the area that weall like and almost got kicked out of? at the 'end' of the track? I flirted with the security guy so we could get in for a few pictures
ReplyDeleteI wasnt with you but I am pretty sure it was Turn 7 - RAGAN would know 100%
ReplyDeleteLights have to be on unless Brian is trying to save money...
Hope it is warmer this year. If I don't bring a guy Mizz mouse might come
ReplyDeleteLove this guy....
ReplyDeleteShawn Courchesne RT @tomjensen100: I've patched up marriages in less time than this
I just bribed Mizz Mouse she says I can go without her.
ReplyDeleteI suppose starting a new blog on the suject would be preferred. Since we MIGHT get to race soon.........................
If we could find a hotel we all agreed on it would be really cool if we were all there
this has been a complete farce! You can pave in those temps....I know, it's my job to *know* that. I also know that if it took us 7 hours to patch 300m worth of runway, it should NOT take 2 hours to fill a pothole.
ReplyDeleteGene--LOL!
ReplyDeleteGREEN!!
ReplyDeleteWe can try for the same hotel...will definitely have a blog about it on Lugnuts.
You need to apply with Nascar!!
ESad better behave
ReplyDeleteIt's not going to be long before Harvick's out front again...
ReplyDelete
