Well, another track ticked off the 2008 schedule and while the teams had a newly paved place to deal with, at the end of the day it was the same old, same old as Kyle Busch continued his hot streak in both the QC and the RC. Luckily for the rest, he could only manage sixth in qualifying so Dale Earnhardt Jr was able to close the gap by sticking his Impala on the front row but they were all left in Greg Biffle's dust as he pulled a lap out of his bag of tricks to take Ford's first pole position of the season.
With that effort, Greg, along with Bobby Labonte, bumps out Jamie McMurray , Mike Skinner and Juan Montoya (Mike and Juan were tied for 20th last round).

And with his third win of the year, Kyle extend his lead over Carl Edwards in the RC and in a bad weekend for Juan, Travis Kvapil due to his stonking drive pushes him out of the top 20.

On to Lowes Motorspeedway where we'll see if Casey Mears can repeat his win from last year...or if Kasey Kahne will claim the place as his again like he did in 2006. As much fun as it might have been to give my driver a bonus 1000 points for winning the All-star race, I didn't think that would be terribly fair so I'll just have to make do with knowing he's safely into that race until 2019.
The 2008 All-star winner.
So, on behalf of, possibly, their Southern-most fan, congratulations to everyone at GEM and to Kasey on their surprise (hey, who'd have thought those Goodyears would last the way they did?) win.
Still racing current!!!Recently, On the hot millionaire singles club ####*****, I have some great experiences with hot girls sthere. Amazingly, I seemed to see some famous player had a personal account there with recent photos. It was reported on MSN Charlie Sheen has found his girl there last May.
Hey Tez, its no good when you start off with spam!! Your boy pulled off a stunner in the All Star race...I didnt think no tires would work but apparently they did!
Tez is a rare creature; an Australian who was living in New Zealand before moving to Canada. He's also a Civil Engineer who is hoping to spend his Monday to Friday sitting in front of a computer surfing the inter...uh, working hard for an Engineering Consultant or Contractor when he finds a job. His heart is torn between his two loves; F1 and NASCAR.
Due to his high interest in those, his blogs will likely focus on them with the occasional foray into sports that don't get much (if any) mention on this website. All blogs and/or comments will more than likely have his usual dollop of sarcasm and general Aussie spin on them.
Amazingly, he also managed to score 2 MiB nominations on consecutive days (August 5 & 6, 2007) after announcing he had been keeping track of them...he's considering hiding under his bed as a result.
