WELL FOLKS IT'S BEEN AWHILE SINCE I WAS HERE, SOME OF YOU HAVE MOST LIKELY BEEN DOING THE HAPPY DANCE ABOUT THAT, BUT THINGS AROUND HERE HAVE HAD ME HOPPING MORE THEN A ONE LEGGED MAN AT A BUT-KICKING CONTEST.
ANYWAY WHAT I WANTED TO PASS ALONG IS THAT I RECENTLY RECEIVED A PACKAGE FROM MOM SUE, INSIDE I FOUND AMOUNG OTHER THINGS, WAS AN AUTOGRAPHED COPY OF JEFF HAMMOND'S BOOK REAL MEN WORK IN THE PITTS, IT WAS SEND TO CINDI BY JEFF THRU FOXSPORTS. FOLKS IF YOU HAVE NOT READ THIS BOOK, TAKE A TRIP TO YOUR LOCAL BOOKSTORE AND PICK UP A COPY, IT IS REALLY GOOD READING. I HAVE NOT FINISHED IT YET, AS I ONLY READ WHEN I GO TO BED AT NIGHT, AND THAT LAST ABOUT 5 MINUTES BEFORE I DROP INTO NITE NITE LAND, BUT IT IS REALLY GOOD READING.
JEFF STARTS WITH HIS BREAKING INTO NASCAR AND CARRIES YOU THRU HIS ADVENTURES WITH ALL OF THE TEAMS AND DRIVERS THAT HE WORKED WITH. THIS IS AN EASY READING GLANCE INTO THE GARAGE, THE PITS AND MANY OTHER PLACES THAT THE COMMON FAN MIGHT NEVER HEAR ABOUT OR SEE.
WELL THAT IS ALL FOR NOW, EXCEPT FOR ONE OTHER THING, WHO GET'S THE 5 CAR NEXT YEAR, TAHT MAY BETHE SURPRISE, I DON'T THINK ANYONE WAS SURPRISED THAT CASEY WAS GOING OUT THE DOOR.ANYONE THINK TONY MIGHT GET BACK INTO A CHEVY THAT AWAY.
Hi Gun. Hope everything is well in Oklahoma and you're staying out of that wacky summer weather there.
Nice gesture by Jeff Hammond to send her the book. I'm sure Cindi would have appreciated it greatly.
You may have something on that 5 car. Stewart to Hendricks? Nah.. Too many stars on one team.
I THINK JUST ABOUT EVERYONE'S FIRST THOUGHT WAS TONY TO THE NO. 5 WHEN IT WAS ANNOUNCED THAT MEARS WAS OUT, BUT HAVE ALSO HEARD THAT THERE IS MUCH TALK ABOUT THE KID THAT DRIVES JR.'S NUMBER 88 NATIONWIDE CAR MOVING UP NEXT SEASON AND THAT MIGHT JUST BE THE THING TO BET ON.
I WOULD STILL LIKE TO SEE TONY DRIVING FOR RCR NEXT SEASON, BUT NOT REAL SURE THAT IS EVEN IN THE BALL PARK.
It is hard to tell what the future may hold. I can certainly trust Stewart will prosper in any deal and Casey Mears will fade into oblivion in the minor leagues.
Hey GUNNY! Glad you got out of your one-legged butt-kicking contest long enough to give us an update. How sweet of Cindi's mom to send you that book...
It was certainly interesting how Tony didn't lose it on Harvick last week after he got wrecked...could be RCR teammates? Tony did say he would consider the 5 car, "who wouldnt"...super team but Jr is a stretch to fit the HMS mold, Tony is like a taffy fit at HMS! I say Tony buys DEI...
Good to see you back here. I too have read Hammond's book, and as you stated, a nice read. I have never met him though. You can send Hammond an email at his personal website through his weekly FoxSports column link, and he actually emails you back.
hey welcome back... hey i know its hard to put down a good book.... and i know racing is your passion as it was for cindi!!!!!! gosh i still wish i could have met her.... but maybe in heaven?? that is if i can catch her speeding around heaven in her car!!!!!!!!! again welcome back from the great state of oregon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TRUTH BE TOLD HAD IT NOT BEEN FOR THE TALK BACK AND FORTH BETWEEN HAMMOND AND WALTRIP I MIGHT NEVER HAVE KEPT WATCHING AS THEY SORT OF EXPLAINED THINGS SO THAT A DUMMY WOULD UNDERSTAND.
Hey gunny. Good to see you again. I'm real sure the other agree with my sentiments. Nice read. Seems Cindi's is still doing good. No less you are too. You gotta big heart.
YES SHE IS STILL DOING GOOD, MY DAUGHTER BELIEVES THAT BECAUSE OF CINDI SHE GOT HER NEW JOB WHICH SHE TOTALLY LOVES. SHE HAD BEEN TRYING TO GET OUT OF THE HOTEL DESK CLERK BUSINESS FOR A YEAR.
3 WEEKS AFTER CINDI DIED SHE GOT A JOB IN A LAW OFFICE AS A SECT. SHE WALKED IN THE HOUSE AND GRINNED AND SAID CINDI HAS GONE TO WORK ALREADY.
