It's Called Talladega!


You watch the entire race twice a year knowing something big is going to happen. It does not get any bigger than this. This wreck happened about 100 yards from the finish line. Unfortunately 7 fans were hurt in this melee. I believe the worse injury was a broken jaw bone so at least nothing too serious. I guess that person will have to sip the beer through a straw for a while. It is amazing how the fence held up against a 3,500 lb car flying through the air at 190 mph. You have to see it!

Only 34 More to Go! (Danielle is powering down now!)


I find it very funny how someone (me) can be so obnoxious about a guy that is so non controversial, and as a result, create such disdain from all of my friends and family. They all literally root for the guy to hit the wall, blow an engine, get passed, etc. Whatever it takes to simmer me down I guess! I have more than enough bravado to make up for my driver's calm and cool demeanor at the track. On that point, I am certain all of my friends will agree! Especially if you are watching the race with me. You won't be able fit my ego in Texas Motor Speedway if the #17 car is racing for the lead there. "Pull those straps tight one more time"..."Boogity Boogity Boogity, Let's go racin boys!"
