Here are two more pictures from the garage area at Phoenix for you to guess what the heck is going on...I have edited the first blog to tell you what was really going on with Kurt and Tony. Give these a try!
(In case you cannot tell...this is Kasey Kahne)
(here you find Dale Jr in the back, and Kyle Busch and Denny Hamlin talking)
Give it your best shot! Have fun!
WHAT WAS REALLY GOING ON...
So the first shot was of Kasey talking on his cell phone outside his hauler about 2 hours before the race. He sat out there for easily an hour on his phone flanked by two young girls who did not leave his side. I didn't see him touch either of them in a GF kinda way (things still looking up for you YeeMum!). More amazing, no one in the garages bothered him at all, it was a cold garage at the time so plenty of fans in there...
The second shot of Dale Jr, Kyle and Denny was taken in between practices on Friday. Jr was engrossed in conversation with that crew member of Kyle's for a long time and he never acknowledged Kyle or Denny's presence. Kyle and Denny definitely appeared to be comparing notes on setups and how their cars drove in practice. Very unusual to get 3 drivers in one picture...there were cameramen and fans 5 people deep watching them like they were in a zoo. I of course ducked down and crawled between 2 Fox camera guys to get the shot!
Kasey talking to girl on the phone: "Hey sweet thang, I know I know, I keep trying to get Ray to hook back up with Erin so she will leave me alone... I promise, all I want is you"
Dale Jr. talking to Kyle... "so which do you think it is Kyle, have you magically learned how to drive in that JGR car, or did I magically learn how to drive taking your place at HMS?"
Kasey- He still has a stomach ache from eating to many hot dogs at Martinsville. He is wishing that someone would give him a tums.
Dale Jr.- He is asking Kyle and Denny how they managed to go from Chevy to Toyota and already get a win. But yet he went from DEI to HMS and still cant find victory lane.

#1 Kasey Kahne - Thank goodness I finally found a quiet spot at the track, that those Allstate girls cant find me at.
#2 Denny to Kyle: Are you sure you haven't got an extra case of Jr's AMP drink in your pits...because you and Edwards are the most AMPED up drivers so far in 2008.
Picture 1... Kahne: "Who is the hot babe takin' my picture???"
Picture 2... Junior: "Look, there she is, yeah the one with the camera... Who is going to introduce us???" Kyle "No way man, I saw her first!" Hamlin, slowly sliding sideways toward you, "You guys keep talkin'..." He turns to you with a broad smile, "Anything I can help you with Miss? Uhhh I don't believe I caught your name..."
Now you know klvalus! Next you'll need a gig with People Magazine...
Kahne to his agent - You're fired! Everyday I have to watch myself dancing like a goof around my poor car painted baby blue w/ flowers! I can't take it anymore!!
Jr. to rest of guys- any of you guys have a good crew chief you can spare. I'm tired of telling Tony Eury Jr.that you can't switch 4th gear w/ Reverse!

#1. Kasey thinking hard how come Dewalt always wants Matt in his dewalt uny and Budwiser only wants me to wear mine in the car.
#2. Kyle, Well thanks D W to compairing me to Dale Sr and better then he was, but you should be little more careful of who walks up behind you when talking about someone's Dad. Denny, YEAH DARREL !!! Jr, Can you say 7 championships Darrel? Darrel, I guess its time for me to Boogie Boogie on out of here.
Kyle "Dale, how is that Non winning car?" with a smile. "Well its not losing motors" Dale. "Well how does it feel to be with the best team, Oh wait Gibbs is now the best." says Kyle. "I have won, in all three series, this year" another even bigger smile. "Well I am finishing races. More than last year" Dale without a smile. "Hey wanna come to my new bar?" Dale looks optomistic. "Well I will be there to help you cellibrate your next win" Kyle with another big smile. "I will hold you to that" says Dale, as he walks away...
