Beer Drinkin', Racin' 'n Football

[Texas Lawdog]

Leo, You forget that I spent almost 15 years as a patrol cop. I've investigated several suicides, and not just by gunshots.

[Leo Tanner]

Yer up late.
  I wasn't talkin bout suicide but parents burying their kids. 
I can only imagine some of the things you had to see.

[Texas Lawdog]

I didn't watch the NNS race last night at Darlington. I checked Nascar.com this morning and found out the Bif won. Leffler finished 2nd and cuzzin Carl finished 3rd.

[Arcey]

Actually, Kenseth won. Biffle wasn't in the race.

Busch had 'em covered, again, but cut a tire late. Led the most laps.

[Texas Lawdog]

I just saw the picture of the 16 car and thought it was the Bif. Kyle is always a factor in the race, no matter what Series it is.

[Leo Tanner]

Gonna take a second and give a nod ta James Harrison.  Don't care what his reasons were but he told BO ta stuff his invitation ta the White House.  How many folks get the opportunity ta slap that SOB in the face.  I wouldn't go either an if the media chose ta rake me over the coals after a 100 innerception return they could kiss off too.

Hey, who left this soap box sittin in here.  I'll jus' go put it away now.

[Texas Lawdog]

Leo, He didn't go to the White House when George W was President either.

[Leo Tanner]

I saw that, but I see this time around as a little bit different.  Same basic reason, but he's showin he's a man that sticks ta his values no matter who the other feller is. 

[Texas Lawdog]

He played College ball at Kent St., the same school that Jack Lambert played .

[Arcey]

What happens when ya race on a poorly designed track in a third world country.

Rest in peace, Pardo. My prayers for comfort for the family and friends.

Be warned. This ain't pretty.

[Leo Tanner]

That was frikken horrid.  It takes a lot ta make me cringe, but that did it. 
God bless his family. 
Who designed that mousetrap?

[Arcey]

The track is near Mexico City. Suspect someone down there put it tagether.

NASCAR had ta have stuff done ta the road course thing in Mexico to eliminate some safety hazards. They don't run there namore. The locals couldn't run with the pros 'n the payin' customers quit showin' up.

[Texas Lawdog]

When did it happen?  The Nationwide Series ran some races down there but quit. The Cup series never ran there. I'm sure those are for the most part old hand-me-down cars purchased from US teams.

[Arcey]

Think it was Sunday, Tex.

Reckon the cars could be cast offs. What was left of the cage didn't look ta be up ta specs but as bad as it was torn up it's hard ta make that call.

They ran the road course for four races when it was Busch. IMS, Truex won the first, Hamlin the second, Montoya the third 'n Kyle Busch the last.

BTW, Johnny Benson was hurt right bad Saturday night drivin' a super modified. Busted ribs, punctured lung 'n minor burns. Fair condition.

[Texas Lawdog]

You're right about the steel in that roll cage. It looks a little thin. I remember that Busch race that Mikey Waltrip was in at Bristol when he was still driving for Bahari. What's left of that car is in the Museum at Talledega. I hadn't heard that about Benson. That's prolly put him out of the Trucks for a while.

[Arcey]

Benson lost the truck ride. No sponsor 'n Red Horse folded the 1 team. RUMOR is they had Remington all lined up but Speed TV said they wouldn't put a camera on it because of the gun angle. Don't unnerstan it. They don't have a problem with GunBroker.com.

He was supposed to drive the 51 this weekend spellin' Busch. Busch is gonna be kindah busy flyin' twix Sonoma 'n Milwaukie.

[Texas Lawdog]

Kyle was busy last weekend too. I haven't been following the races much lately.

[Arcey]

Kindah saw this comin'. With the 'big three' pullin' financial support for the trucks 'n Nationwide cars Toyota is followin'. Really no need in pumpin' money inta sumthin' when yer opponents ain't. Even choked down more'n the others they're still competitive.

Cup side. Childress is suin' Gooberment Motors for a missed two 'n a half million buck quarterly payment. Wunner if Hendrick is gettin' his. Fiat ain't payin' Petty. Rumor is they're still payin' Penske. Petty'll be puttin' Kahne inna Toyota 'fore the season's over leavin' the team's other three Dodges for now. Look fer Sadler 'n Sorenson ta be unemployed come '10.

Addin' ta the fun, Truex leavin' fer Mikey's #55 ride is gonna leave Montoya all alone at 'Chip 'n Dale'. Ganassi has strong ties with Lexus. A Lexus is a fancy Toyota like Cadillac is ta Chevrolet. Target is committed as a sponsor. The only thing keepin' Gibbs from a fourth car is sponsorship. Maybe 'nother merger?

Red Bull feels like they're gettin' the short end of the stick from Toyota 'n threatenin' ta switch ta Chevrolet. They've gottah attitude 'n lack of talent problem with Speed. Prolly kickin' themselves fer dumpin' 'Dinger fer the prima donna. 'He HAS to be an amazin' talent, he drove f1!'

Silly Season is here.   

[Texas Lawdog]

It seems like "silly season" gets here earlier every year.

[Lucky Irish Tom]

I wonder if Honda and Nissan will enter the fray, after all why let Toyota have all the glory!
