Hello again everyone and welcome to Right Sides Only. You have to read that first line aloud while impersonating HowardCosell. The boys are in Alabamy, the Heart of Dixie this weekend. This is the second restrictor plate race of the year. Who could forget that finish in the first one at Daytona? Look for more of the same Sunday. Highlights? Downlows? OK. coming atcha.
The big news this week that really isn't news yet, is TonyStewart's search for a greener pasture. Expect every talking head on TV to have it all figured out, but there won't be any resolution for awhile. In the meantime, MartinTruexJr., another soon to be free agent, is going to have to wait on Smoke's decision before he makes his move. The old domino effect.
DaleEarnhardtSr's birthday, April, 29, is also Dale Earnhardt Day at DEI's headquarters in Mooresville, NC. Expect a big turn out by the faithful. Activities run from 9am til 7pm.
As part of this year's Sprint All-Star race at LMS there will be a burnout contest. No, you can't enter your brother-in-law. It's called the Pennzoil Victory Challenge, and will feature ClintBowyer and four other drivers. I wish they only had guys entered who have never won a race. Just to see if they could do a burnout.
Now, some sad news. Checkers/Rally's is no longer the official burger of NASCAR. I've never seen one at a NASCAR track. What do they taste like? Anyone? Are they as tasty as a Big Kahuna burger on PulpFiction?
The defending Talladega Nationwide pole winner, BradColeman, will be sponsored by the U.S. Postal Service in Saturdays NW race. Coleman not only sat on the pole, but had a top ten finish here last year for JGR.
Brad Coleman with the Cottonelle Ford, and the Cottonelle puppy.
The Truck Series races Saturday at KansasSpeedway. Their companion event on Friday, the ARCA Series is free. Kansas Speedway is letting everyone in free on Friday. Kansas is my new favorite track.
ChrissyWallace signed a contract with GermainRacing for six more Truck races this year, and will compete for Truck Series Rookie of the Year next season.
A fellow blogger here likes ColinBraun. Braun has a hell of a pedigree in Grand-Am type road racing. He's running for Truck Series ROY this year while driving for RFR. He made his second Nationwide start last week in Mexico, and won the pole there. In the Truck Series, he's 20th in points, yet only 91 out of 10th place. In the ROY standings, he's 4th, 4 points out of 1st. The kid's only 19, too. Go D-Man!
Finally, I would like to send out congratulations to JamieLittle who won the Toyota Celebrity Grand Prix last weekend at LongBeach. She had MikeSkinner right on her bumper trying to rattle her cage, but she held on and won the race to the checkered flag. Oh yeah, I think I heard something about another female, first time winner last weekend. I'll see what info I can dig up about that, and let you know who, and where it was.
wow hanahan my preditions from a formor blog are comming true Im just now waiting for the Daytona 500 to be named the Kotexx 500 I see theres already a cottenelle car
This is also the first of five 'impound' races this year. Who remembers several years ago that more than half, like 25?, were impound races?
Tony is "all ears." Yeah, we hear ya Tony... just trying to get some more green from old Coach, huh?
I'm so ecstatic I can't control myself.
Yall be watching Cale Gale Saturday running in the #33, I suspect he will get the pole tomorrow, and will be in a good position to show KHI what he can do down here in Bama. He was 4th in final practice.
Lots of good tidbits here this week. The burnout contest should be interesting next month for the All Star race. Only 5 drivers though?
Havent had a Checkers Burger in years. They arent in the Chicago Suburbs anymore. They were OK I guess...never developed a hankering for them anyway. I'd rather make my own hamburger on the grill than get a fast food one anyways.
Cool that Ms. Jamie Little won at Long Beach last week. I like your photo of Brad Coleman, and the adorable Cottonelle puppy.
Young Braun showed pretty well last week in the Nationwide...
I understand Kyle won't be running the truck series Saturday in Kansas... I'm not sure if he will be running the Nationwide as well as the Sprint Cup race, but I guess he had to choose between the Truck and Nationwide since both are on Saturday...
this is too much even for a Yankee fan like myself...if Arod's stool comes up soft, should that be news too...by the way, congrats on the girl...BTW, he also has millions of Yankee fans on ####. It is a HOT celebrity dating site. Many CEOs, pro athletes, doctors, lawyers, investors, entrepreneurs, beauty queens, fitness models go there and find what they want
Ah Hanahan...get me that puppy!!!! We had Rally's in Tucson, the burgers were ok but the fries were pretty darn tasty! They were the double fried kind and really long if I remember correctly.
I am surprised you didnt mention...that big event...oh yea that Bowyer actually hit the wall doing his burnout and wrecked the Richard Petty Racing experience car. Now thats funny!
I read the first line, then proceeded to throw up on Don Meredith's boots.
Can't believe Skinner didn't put Jamie into the wall - or at least blow-up his engine. Jamie is a little cutey - and yeah I did hear something about a female dwarf doing something good in an automobile race this past week. I'll try to remember what it was over Bud Light and chicken wings tonight.
mose...Ahhh, the good ol' days. Getting to stay up until halftime just to hear, and gripe about, Howard while he did the highlights.. Google Jamie. Pretty interesting. She's a moto-cross racer.
I'm still trying to find out who the woman was that won a race, overseas, or someplace. It seems like they would have at least put it in the papers, or on Sports Center or something.
Hanahan - Hey I thought if you raced a more then a few races you couldn't go for rookie of the year in the next? Talking about Chrissy Wallace. Is it half a season for amount of races ?
Never had a checkers/rally's burger. But did eat Big Boy burger when I was a nipper and living in Ohio. I miss the Arbys rostbeef . mmmmmm
Fore2...In the Cup series you can race up to 7 races in one season and still be eligible for Rookie of the Year in another season. It must be that way in Trucks also. Fore, don't you guys have Grand Royales with cheese over there?
Well good luck with meeting MILFs. Hopefully not the ones that photoshop their heads onto model bodies. If you get lucky, be sure to use a lot of lotion in your backyard pit, though.
Hana - The only thing grand over here is medication is free, Health care is free but not grand in some places. lol If the dam gov in States would stop blowing money on the dam NASA and sending that dam thing up to space to study something no one will ever use.
The billions wasted could go to medacare, I have heard from one they can't afford the medication for something as bad a lupus. Sorry about that I just gone off. Not at you !!
Ah men on NASA. i could have told them about the waste in space exporation years ago. However it does have some minute benefits around Earth but not worth the cost yet.
I personally have always liked the Lum Burger at Lums.Then there is always the What a Burger at What a Burgers ( Florida specialties).
Tony's search for greener pasture is only a ploy to get a fatter contract from Joe Gibbs.
Truex Jr. is only looking because he saw Teresa with a new 5 lb. bag of sugar in the shop.
Fore2...I think we got into space because of the cold war, and it's been over for a while. We had to have a who's is biggest contest with the Russians. There's a reason rockets are shaped like they are. Hah.
