Ahh...Yes... My luvable Cubbies are setting new bench marks for the club. Won nine series in a row. First time since 1907. They are 3 games ahead of all other team in national and american league. They just keep winning.

 Is it Lou? Is it Wood? Is it all the players coming together?

 It is nice when one star is down, two others step up. I am loving this. Is this the year? Well I cant think of a better one that I have seen in my 37 years of life. I am enjoying the ride.

 Ahh...Yes... Carl Edwards When you push him around, he pushes back. I am a Kyle Busch fan. But Damm did Carl give him what he deserved. Can Carl stay this hot into the chase. Yes, Yes, Yes...The guy has it all clicking. He has the team. He is getting the cars. It will be fun to watch.

 Nascar thankyou for making the punishment for after the checkards, small to say the least. 6 race probation. That means you are letting them race. Thankyou. I know you couldn't let the smacks after the checkards go, but to lightly slap the wrists, as a fan again thankyou.

 So 2 races to the chase, who is going to win? Jeff Gordon. He is going to win Richmond. Cali, maybe. Tony Stewart will get a smack from Jeff though if he is in front of him. Jeff owes him.

 The Cubs yes September will be there tuff month. They have alot of road games. But they have won there last 12 of 13 on the road. I dont care who you are and what teams you play that is great. Will this lead to a late October? God I hope so. I cant take another disapointment. They are the team. They have the Lou. They can do it.

 Ok I did the crazy. I combined the two, Nascar and Baseball. But the chase is getting good. I am a huge race fan. Also the Cubs are playing like there is no tomorrow. That is my team. Only 2 hours form Wrigley. So enjoy the read.

 Ahh...Yes... Again Rowdy Busch kicks ####. He drove the heck out of the #51 tonight. Awsome run.

  Got a little tired of hearing Johnny Benson whine on the radio. When he came down on Kyle off of two, he blamed Kyle. Saying "We are running for a championship cant he watch were he is going" Now think about it. If you are worried about running for a championship, by a truck faster than yours, get the HeII out the way.

 Now Scott Speed, Way to go. Stayed out of trouble and brought the RedBull Toyota home third. Nice driving openwheeler. I see good things coming from him. He is showing he turs left just fine. Watch for him full time in cup next year. Will it be with the RedBull team? We shall see.

 Now about the Magnetic pull of Gibbs. What the HeII were they thinking? Any way enough about that. What a hurtfull penalty. Take 150 points from two drivers not driving full time in the Nationwide series. Ouch please stop it hurts... If you want to penalize those drivers. Take them out of the rest of the season in Nationwide. Thats the only thing that will hurt in the least bit. Or pull Gibbs Nationwide teams all from the series. The penaltys that Nascar gave are little to the drivers. The Crews on the other hand, that was harsh. Indefinate suspension for the Chiefs and some crew members. Just say it all season.

 Nascar needs to look a little harder into this. They need to sit down with Gibbd and Toyota and work this out. Make sure they get the level playing field they want. That said, Toyota just kicked the Big threes ####. Face it. they thought it would be like last year and were caught sleeping.

 Ok now back to Bristol. God I need to be there. But have school so I am watching it on TV. My folks are there. Told them to wave..Lol.. Cant wait to see Jeff Gordon beat his way to a win. Prove he is not the guy points racing. He needs to ring up a few wins in a row.

 Anyway. Lets go Racing.

 So have you heard about the 225 million$ law suit? Mauricia Grant has forgot to mention some of her past. She failed to let Nascar know a few things about her self. The poor lady who was verbalie abused. The one who was fired for no good reason.

 Well looks like Nascar should have not hired her. Seems to be she had a DUI in 2004. With no drivers license. She failed to share that. She was on probation. She failed to share that.

 Now Nascar needs to be held accountable as well on failer to do a backround check. I know where I work they do a full backround check.

 Anyway Ms. Grant was hired in Jan. 2005. At the same time a bench warrant was issued.  It was said to be from probation violation. Thats why she got a road travling job. She used Nascar to hide in a way not to be tailed.

 I think nascar should counter sue for false statement on application. If in some way she were to win the money. The state that is going after her for probation violation should get ALL that money. Lol..Just my view on the Poor Poor lady.

 I am glad Nascar does what it does to make race, or sex, not be what gets you or doesn't get you a job. I hope though they have learned to do more of a backround check. They have a lot of time in the officials at the track. They have access to all teams, fans, cars, and everything at the track. They should be as hard as a police force, or goverment job in backround checks.

 Well thats my piece on the Poor Poor lady that had it so rough. Let me hear ya.

  This is what I heard on ESPN.

 Kyle Busch pushing harder using the last five for testing.

 Well Kyle pushing is no surprise. What about Jr.?  What will he do the last five before the chase?

 Jr. is going to run hard and try for a few more wins.

 Well what about cousin Carl?

 He showed he is going for the win.

 So is Jimmie going to take it easy?

 Jimmie is running hard, but will Chad let him risk it for a win? Time will tell.

 What about quiet Jeff Burton who only a few weeks ago was 2nd in points, now 5th?

 Jeff Burton needs to go back to racing to win. You see what can happen to a points chaser.

 So lets talk about 4 time champ Gordon.

 Jeff has been looking like he was just getting things in order. Look for him to either kick ####, or be kicked in the ####. He is going for the wins. As of now he is 12th in the chase.

 Now thats the top six. They are spread by 1st 3059 points 2nd 176 back. 3rd at 185 back.

4th 200 back. 5th 226 back. 6th 381 back. yet 6th is 177 ahead of 13th.

 Now 7th Kasey Kahne is 467 back of 1st. Yet only 91 points ahaed of 13th.

 Kasey  will have to be points racing. He is good with 2 wins. He needs to make sure he makes the big dance.

 Biffle in 8th is 88 points ahead of 13th.

 The Biff will also have to be points racing.

 Smoke. He is 66 points ahead. With his mind clear he can focus. He needs to point race, yet I dont see it.

 Tony will be a make or break in the next 5. I see him going for nothing but a win. He has nothing to lose.

 Hamlin is 46 ahaed. Harvick is 19 ahaed. And Bowyer is 11 points ahaed.

 All 3 of these guys got to fight for all they can get, yet be smart about it. Dont take the chance of being 3 laps short on fuel. Make it with in a lap.

 Kenseth, and Ragan are in the fight. 13th and 14th. 11 and 46 points back. They are going to have to drive aggresively smart. They need all the points they can get.

 So what does this mean for the next five?

 I see 1st through 6th trying to win or at least should be trying to win all 5 races.

 7th and 8th trying to hold and not fall back. 9th should be, but since its Smoke look for him to make or break evey race trying to win. 10th on back to 14th will be fighting. If we can listen in on the radio, they will be asking about all the other cars on the fight to make it.  You will also see there teams watching the screen for the yellow marking who is in and out of the chase.

 Lets hope this comes to be. Having alot of the big names fighting to be in the chase trying to win. I am sick of points racing. I want 43 cars going for a win. Well ok at least 12 to 14 fighting for a win. This will be, I hope, a great 5 races to come. I hope you enjoy it as much as I am.

 No tire issues. We have the Glen.  MichZzzgan, Bristol, CalZzzna, and Richmond. So I see 3 tracks the are tracks you can use the bumper to move cars. I see it happining.  2 snozzers I can go with out watching live. So lets see who beats on who.

 Ok I have a few photos to show you on Noah and my weekend. We started friday night at Wilmot Speedway in Wilmot Wisconsin. Then saturday night we went to Charter Raceway Park in BeaverDam Wisconsin.

 The winner friday night was Daryn Pittman, then on saturday night Steve Kinser showed why we call him the king on dirt and won the race.

 The photo on the right is Daryn at Wilmot. The photo on the left is Noah and Steve in the pits at Charter.

 Kraig Kinser after Noah got him to smile after a Rough nite.

 Noah and Terry McCarl

 Noah with Joey Saldana

 Noah with a favorite of his Jac "The WildChild" Haudenschild

 These are of Noah in the awsome Jr flagstan that Charter Raceway Park has for kids that flag. That made Noah have a good evening flagging. Also thankyou To the officials and track owners make this a special night for are first trip there.

  The present and future flagmen working together. Thankyou for making Noah feel like one of the officials at Charter Speedway Park in BeaverDam Wisconsin. It was are first visit. But it wasn't are last.

  What makes the World of Outlaws so special. They do the four wide salute to the fans. Noah waveing back at him the way he does. Thankyou for a wonderfull weekend of racing. And thankyou my friends for sharing with what makes this father so proud. My Jr. Falgman Noah....

 Ahh...Yes... The Shrub has steped out to an almost un touchable lead.

 2. is Jr. He is 253 back

 3. Burton 271 back

 4. Jimmie 315 back

 5. Edwards 320 back. Now these for a seperated by only 67.  Carl back to Gordon is 140 points I think the top 5 will stay the same. They may change spots but I dont think they will fall out of the top five.  Now Shrub has 7 wins. Thats 70 points into the chase. Jimmie and Carl both have credit for 2. Thats 20. 50 back of Shrub. Jr. and Burton have 1. Thats ten 60 back.

 6. Gordon 460 back. no wins.

 7. Biffle 544 back no wins.

 8. Hamlin 551 back 1 win.

 9. Kahne 563 back 2 wins.  Now here we have a 103 point diffrence from 6th to 9th. Now Gordon is 184 points ahead of 13th Harvick. I think Gordon will be in. Kahne is 93 points ahaed of 13th. That is a big gap as well. If Kahne keeps running the way he has he will be in. With Kahne 2 wins and Hamlin with one they will both be ahead of Biffle and Gordon chase time.

 10. Smoke 605 back.

 11. Kenseth 638 back.

 12. Boyer 642 back.

 Outside looking in.

 13. Harvick 644 back only 39 back of 10th and Smoke.

 14. Ragan 698 back only 57 out of 12th and 93 back of Smoke.

 15. Brian Vickers 774 only132 out of 12th. Thats alot to make up. Indy and losing a motor hurt bad. Still has a shot. Just a very long shot.

 16. Newman 786 only 142 back. Also a real long shot. He I think can concentrate on looking for his new home.

 Well As you can see I think the top five are a sure thing for the chase. 6th through 9th have to keep doing good. They could have 2 bad weeks and be on the outside looking in. I dont see that happing. Everham teams are getting on track. Rousch is making a run with multiple cars. Gibbs enough said. And Hendricks as well.

 Now the race to watch for the chase is 10th thru 16th. I know 15th and 16th are a long shot but a shot none the less. 10th thru 14th can change in any givin race. You could have Ragan in 10th and Smoke looking in from outside the glass after one race.

 So my picks. I still have dim hopes of Vickers making it. Maybe it wont happen but always hopefull. Tony will win. He doesnt want to go a year with out one. He also I think wants to leave Gibbs proving he is as good as day one.

  Kenseth needs to get lady BadLuck off his back. He will have a fight to stay in. He has the Cat in the Hat to help. I dont think they are going to give up anytime soon.

 Boyer has alot of work to do as well. He has the team. He has the car. Does he have it in him? We will see. I know he will fight for all he can get.

 Harvick to no cause of his own got smacked out at Indy. He will be one to move up past 12th. He is hard driven and has everything going well. The wreck was nothing to do with his driving.

 Ragan is a pleasent surprise. The Kid is proving he has it all. If he misses the chase it will be only from bad luck. He has a great future. Just think maybe not the chase this year.

 I see at this time. 1. Shrub. 2. Johnson 3. Kahne 4. Edwards 5.6.7.8.9.10. all tied with a win. Hamlin has won. Jr. as well. Burton has another. Gordon Stewart and Harvick will win yet before the chase and round out the tie for 5th to 10th.

 Now 11th and 12th with no win. Biffle will not win but is in the chase and 11th. 12th I think is going to be Kenseth. He will come back the next few races and race hard. Who knows he might get a win.

 That is my chase list. It will be fun to watch. I hope Nascar and GoodYear get past this problem from Indy and Moves to a great racing tire for the rest of the year.

 Heard Martin Truexx is denying making aggreement to stay at TEI.

 Hope that is true. The women is running the great late Dale Sr.s team in the ground. With Mark following Jr. From TEI, were will Martin Truexx Jr. go?

 Well RCR has a great 4th car open.

 Smoke has a second car.

 Penske has a seat.

 What do you think? Share your thoughts. I think Dale Jr. will help guide him to Smoke. But thats just my thoughts.

 Good job Landon. Ran in the top 10 most of the night. Stayed out of trouble. Did alot of passing. Nice debut for the Randy Moss Racing #81 truck. Your 14th place finish really doesnt show how good you ran most the night. It was nice to see you run High and Low as needed.

 Look forward to watching you run in the Nationwide race this evening. Good luck to you.

 Also congadulations to Johnny Benson on another win. Not the fastest truck all night. But saved enough at the end to beat Ron Hornady for the win. Looked like Rons tires went away.  Good race.

 Ahh...Yes.. from the mouth him self  " I know Roger fired Ryan Newam. There was no we are parting ways, from Roger to Ryan" This from Rusty Wallace.

 Ok I thought broadcasters are to be bias on things like the he said, she said. What is with Rusty adding what he thinks is and or was done? This coming from the guy that has the 22 H.P. peice of paper here showing that Toyota has this over every one. What the Hell does he think he is Brian France?

 Rusty needs to keep his friggin mouth shut. When it comes to his thoughts on what Toyota is doing. On what he thinks his old team owner did to current drivers. This is making him look like more of an #### than we already though he was.

 If Roger Penske truely fired Ryan as a driver. He would be shoping this weekend in Gasolin Alley for a ride since he doesn't have one. Roger would have grabbed a young gun out of the nationwide series to give a great shot to. I dont think that Roger and or Ryan would do it that way. I know Roger wants his cars winning. Also Ryan thinks he needs a new combination to put him self in the chase. They talked, came to an agreement. Between the two of them. Not with Rusty Wallace. And are parting ways at the END of the season.

 So here it is again. Rusty trying to stir the pot. I hope ESPN is seeing this and will try to keep him from his personal thoughts on the air. I hate having to listen to him call the races. But even more sick of his "They have an advantage, he got fired" B.S. Rusty call the races. Not your opions.

 I just had to share my 2 cents on this. Hey Rusty, when you have an opinion like that. We have this thing we fans call a BLOG. You should try it some time. Thanks for reading. Let me know what you think about BIG mouth Rusty.

My source: Darrell Waltrip from the Wind Tunnel with Dave Despain.

 "Nascar has take a bunch of motors from the cup cars" says D.W. "They want to make sure Rustys accusation is false"

 Now this came from D.W. tonight of the Wind Tunnel. For all those thinking Toyota has an advatege. I am guessing this is to see if there is anything to the story. If there is what will Nascar do? Will they even tell us? Who will all be there for the test?

 That will be a story to follow. They also took 10 Nationwide engines. 3 Toyota, 3 Chevey, 2 ford, 2 Dodge. That is what I have heard. I dont know the # of engines from cup. I am hoping it is similliar. This week or next I hope we hear something.

 Now the big Wind blowing on the Tunnel show was Tony and Hass. D.W. made it sound like Tony was Givin 50%. Also that Tony had to buy out of Gibbs. In one way I am sure he is right. But lets Look a little deeper.

 Hass has one top ten in the last couple seasons. They have no car in the top 35. They dont have drivers with a history of winning multiple races in any givin year of cup. The one good thing they have that makes them money is there "Rolling Wind Tunnell". It has the abilty to test a rooling stock car at 180 mph in the wind. The only one that I know of.

 Now Tony on the other hand. He will bring sponsors that want to pay to be on the side of his cars. There are drivers that want to be his teamate. Componys will all most be throwing money at Stewart/Hass to be there. So that shouldnt be a problem.

 Now as for Cars and engines. Hmm. Hass as of now gets them from Hendrick. Will that change? No not in the near future I dont think. I think Hendrick will make sure they get great cars and engines. But I dont see Tony and or CHEVY taking out of shop engines. Soon I think Tony will have a top tear engine shop.

 Well that was from "The WInd Tunnell" Dave Despain, and D.W. I just gave you my thought on it. The show is great. They always take calls and talk to us fans. So let me hear what you think.

 Will Nascar let everyone know about testing?

 Will there be teams there?

 Will Stewart/Hass make it? Wouldn't it be wasome for the winner of 2009 Daytona 500 be #14 Tony Stewart?

 Well thats all I got before work on this sunday evening. Hope ya all yell back at me...

 Ok I am taking a page from Hana. Please dont be mad. This is going to be a look back at Alan "Underbird" Kulwicki. with what it took to win a championship as an owner. It has not been done since 1992. It was a good year. Atlanta the last race of the 1992 season. Richard "The King" Petty started his last race. The "Wonder boy" Jeff Gordon started his first race. Ahh History in the making. And I aint talking about either one of them

 Alan Kulwicki. Born on Dec. 14th 1954. Home town of Greenfield Wisconsin. Anoth champ from chedder land Matt Kenseth. Noahs favorite. Alan was a college graduate. He raced in the early 80s all over wisconsin and the area in ASA.

 Now in in 1985 he moved south. He ran in 5 cup races that year. The sponsor Hardees saw it a grabbed on. He was on his way. Now he didn't get his first win till 1988. That came in Phoenix. What a proud day. He won a few more races. He also made going backwards on the track for a victory lap famous. He was Polish and called it his "Polish Victory Lap" That goes down in history. Carl Edwards paid his respect this year winning at Milwaukee and doing a Polish Victory Lap and tributed it to Alan.

 Now lets get to 1992. Hooters comes on as a sponsor. Still Alan is a owner driver. Only one car. He is fighting tooth and nail for a championship. As we head into the last race at Atlanta, Davey Allison has a 30 point lead over Alan. Bill Elliott is 40 points back in third. That is the closest points race for the last race post chase era.

 Well into the race Davey gets caught up in a wreck on the front strech. Alan is leading. He did lead the most laps. You will want to remember leading the most is 10 points. Now late in the race Bill Elliott is chalenging for the lead. He gets it. He goes on to win the race. Alan though hangs on to second. That gave him the championship by 10 points.

 That was awsome. That year was so good and so much fun to watch. The following year in two seprate accidents off the track. Alan lost his life in a plane crash on his way to Bristol. And Davey Allison lost control of a helicopter he was flying and crashed in Talladega i think.

 Now I just wanted to show you. For Tony he has a huge mountain to climb. But Alan proved it can be done. Tony has done so much. He has winning Dirt cars all over. He made a very good track great. Eldora is awsome. And all the way through he knows how he did it. Sweat, blood, and tears.

 That night I got to see Tony face to face at Eldora. You could see he was doing what he loved. I will never forget that. And it will be fun seeing an Owner driver win again. Hopefully Underbird style to a championship. Good luck Smoke...Its going to be an awsome ride..

Ah yes he knows victory lane well.

 TNT did a great coverage o####REAT race. The race and comercials together, wow loved it. I dont care if we have to watch Coke Zero over and over. As long as we still see the race. Man FOX I hope you took notes. That will boost coverage.

 To see that side by side, beating and ban ging was great. If you have anything bad to say about the race...You were not watching what I watched. The COT stopped one car wrecks becoming huge wrecks. Yea we had one at the end, but that was part of the end of guys close fighting.

 Now you "Fans" that threw cans. You need to really do a fan check. You say that you are "fans". How is it a "fan" trys to hit a race car with cans? How is it some from way up in the stands hit real FANS in the lower stands. Brings me back to Dega when a cooler hit the flagman in the back of the head. That was by a "fan".

 So if you throw something and it hits someone on the stands, is that an accident? No. It is not. Its would be an attack. If more than one are throwing, I would call it a "Gang" attack. That could get you up to five years in jail. Do you ever think of that. Remember if that can or bottle has your prints on it. Also the blood from the Head, kneck, or other body part you have hit. You could get caught.

 Now If I am a judge that gets that case. I will "throw" the book at you. I would make sure you get the max sentence. Also I would make sure that if you ever even set foot on a gokart track you will go back to jail.

 Its thanks to fans like you I will not take Noah to a race and let him flag for the Sprint Cup series. You see we sit at the Flagstand. He has his flags. If Kyle were to win, you would throw things. So I just want to say thankyou for making the choice easy. I wont go to Cupraces. I cant imagine what I would do if you "fans" threw something at the track and it hit Noah. My nine yearold son.

 You "fans" think about it.....

 1st Kurt "Rainman" Busch. He and his team made the right call. Congrats.

 2nd Michael "Am I on the leadlap" Waltrip. Pinch me. I am second.

 3rd J.J. "I still have a ride" Yeley. Wow. Thankyou Rainman Busch.

 4th Martin " I am leaving DEI" Truexx. Bout time as good of driver he is he gets the results.

 5th Elliott " Ray this is for you" Sadler. Told you we have top five cars.

 6th Reed "I hit the Target" Sorenson. Well I didn't take anyone out to get the finish. Juan...

 7th Casey "I need a ride" Mears. Later Rick, I will get a ride.

 8th Denny "I know I belong here" Hamlin. Finished ok despite a poor day.

 9th Jimmie " I shoulda won" Johnson. Finish doesn't say how good he ran.

 10th Bobby "For you King" Labonte. Hey the King is the King.

 23rd Dale "Jamie I hope you didn't plan on me helping you get a ride" Earnhardt Jr. Hey he was pitting and Jamie was looking ahead. Oh wait he should have saw the car right in front of him.

 24th Kyle " I hate Jaun" Busch. "Nascar needs to look at the wreck" What a controled interview for the most out of control person. Hats off to Kyle for holding tounge.

 25th Juan "I will spin ya" Montoya. He took matters into his own hands. Enough said.

 Tony Stewart finished 13th with the best car. The weather played a factor. Jeff Gordon looked about the best he has this year as well. Again the weather stepped in.

 That being said. Every team had access to the radar. They all new the big storm was moving quick. I know the broadcasters talked about it. So Penske and the #2 team made the right call today. Great job for a bad year. Congrats Kurt.

 Now on to the night race at Daytona. Lets go rainless racing.

 Ok first is Tony "Smoke" Stewart. He is a hell of -a guy. He was like a kid in a candy store the night of the Dream at Eldora. You saw the love when he dedicated the statue of Mr. & Mrs. Baltes That saturday night he was happy.

 Now for his future. I think him and Dale Jr. will buy out the Hass team. It will be at least a two car team. Tony and Truexx Jr. driving.

 Ryan Newman I dont see leaving Penske. I think Penske will try to give him what he wants.

 Mark Martin..Hendrick? Kinda makes me think two things. Either he gets a part time ride with one or two young guys getting in a sharing. Or one last shot at the cup. Either way Hendrick will ask Mark for something, and give Mark what ever he wishes.

 So What about Jamie McMurray? I have no idea. He will do good who ever picks him up. If Newman leaves the #12 that would be my first guess. But also we have RCR.

 The 4th RCR car. Mears? Newman? McMurray?  There are alot of good drivers looking for rides. I know alot of people saw Tony there. I dont think it would make him happy. Time will see who  gets it.

 I also just heard Menard might get out of DEI. If so to were? Also more on DEI. If Truexx is out. Also Martin out. And Menard leaves. Who will be left that has real seat time? This will either be a young driver team, or a flop of-a great shop.

 With the talk of DEI falling. I dont know how true but maybe. Could that open up another big Garage sale? Would Smoke and Jr. look in to it? How ironic would it be if Dale Jr., who left DEI, buys DEI out. Who would the sponsors be? With the size of Jr. Nation they would pound on his door.

 Jr. is truely his fathers son. I am not a fan, but respect the names. His father was one of the best ever of are sport. Jr. has his fathers smarts. He knows what it takes to be at the top of his game. He will do what it takes to one, win a championship. Two, get a team together that will be at the top of its game. Three, if he could take that team, would he?

 This will be intersting to watch.

 You also have to figure smaller teams in the mix. RedBull with Vickers success and A.J. not making races. Changes there. I se a seat maybe for Scott Speed. He won in the trucks. He is good. That good though, only time will tell.

 I kow I am missin alot. So if you would like add some. I hope this sillyness turns to gold for some looking for rides. I just am going to sit back, eat bratts, drink a little beer. And enjoy the ride.

 Ok I dont know how this will work but here are a few photos from Eldora with Noah. The first won is from that saturday night. Its Tony "After giving me a slap on the hand of a five" Taking the 100 grand to Scott Bloomquist after winning the Dream.

 The car on the stage is Tony after winning the Prelude.

 The one with Noah in the white t shirt, is him getting ready to flag the Prelude.

 Noah with the Checkard flag at the fence is him congradulting Scott for his win of the Dream.

 I hope everyone can see these. It is me learning how to do the photos.

 Thankyou Photogr for sharing this imformation with me.
