I'M A THINKING, AGAIN
Mar 28, 2008 | 6:02PM | report this

I'M A THINKING AGAIN.

Yep. It is about time to come up with something to say.

Lets start off with Jeff Gordon. Last year I made jokes about PEPSI LITE wine coolers and Jeff Gordon. Well it was only  a parody last year but Jeff Gordon is comming out with a wine called Sofia  he will market it this year. I wonder if he will have the sour grape flavor too?

The open wheel drivers in NASCAR. For how long? That is my first thought. So far after 5 or so races these super stars from the other curcuits have had rather dismal showings. Guess it take more skill to drive a 3200 lb. brick around a track than a high tech. Go Kart. 

There has been much to do about comparing Kyle Busch to  Dale Sr. Enough said.

I hear Jack Roush ranting about a Toyota team stealing his secrets right out from under his nose. Sorry Jack. You lost your credibility last year ranting about keeping Toyota out of NASCAR.

Jamie Mc Murray qualifies in 5th for this weekends race and has a new sponsor. Well if he starts sliding backards as usual, he has the tools to get ahead again. That is if he doesn't total the car.

Back to Jeff Gordon. He is on the pole  for this weekend. That is a good place to be Jeff. Start up front, stay up front, stay away from Kyle Busch, and don't hit anything. You might win this race.

I'm a thinking the Smoke will take him self out midway through the race so I will not say anything.

Kyle Busch starts in 8th and Boyer in 12th. Now that is a good combination. If Boyer is smart he will stay behind Kyle and let him do all the bashing other cars out of the way. By the end of the race Kyle will have used up his car and spins himself out thus leaving Boyer with a clean dash to the front.

Robby Gordon in deep sheep dip. What is new?

Bam Racing has a new sponsor. The Bill Gates empire with billions to give away. They are switching to Toyotas with billions more in their racing expense account to give away. I'm a thinking the future dominant team in NASCAR.

Back to Gordon and Smoke. I'm a thinking you guys need a hair cut.

Elliott Sadler out with a back injury, can't sit, and out of the race. Dennis Setzer will have to fill in for him. There are a few questions about this incident. No one seems to know how he hurt his back or what ever. Just goes to show you. You can't go around making whoopie at your age and expect to race a 3200 pound car around a 1/2 mile oval. The scary question is what if Setzer has a better finish or wins? What is this saying about Elliott?

Mike Mc Dowell gets his try at MWR in the CUP series. UUMM Wasn't he One of the American Idol finalist a couple years back? He came from no where and now in a CUP race.

I have heard rumblings in the distance that Sprint is in deep financial trouble. Seems the board of directors are not happy with the millions Sprint puts into NASCAR thus Sprint may be leaving NASCAR.

I have said for awhile NASCAR has to diversify as far as series sponsorship and multiple sponsors are the way to go. For one thing, it gives sponsors the luxury of less expense to cover a series sponsorship and has the inclination to foster longevity as a sponsor.

My picks for multiple sponsors. Charmin Toilet paper and Smokes BBQ sauce (CTP & SBBQ). Certainly a good match. Another idea came to mind was Viagra and Victoria Secrets ( V&VS). Hey, with this deal we might get the grid gals into NASCAR wearing the Victoria Secrets line of merchandise.

I'm a thinking again.

Hi photogr!

You must have stored all this up for quite awhile!

Sounds like Roush may have something there...

I heard they're going to allow Kyle Busch to have a Vee shaped snow blade mounted to the front end of his car so I think maybe it is going to be a good idea to stay behind him!

Thanks photogr!

photo....Wow. Now that's what I call an update and a half. Bam--the dominant team in NASCAR? Gotta love it. I'm not liking Schrader having to start right in front of Kyle and Tony. Hope Kenny makes it to lap two.

Ok Photo - That was a LOT of thinkin there! Hadnt heard about Jeff Gordon's new wine. Will be something to try. I was wondering about Elliot Sadler also. If Dennis Setzer subs and does better that him...kind of make you wonder.

Photo - Sheesh, you been thinkin alot as you have been recovering! Gordon's original wine offering was actually pretty good...will have to taste his new "blend". I doubt Setzer will do better than Elliot...how did he hurt his back?!?! Hmmmm So many stories breaking this week I cannot wait to do H/N!

You will have to read that paragraph on Sadler again to get the answer.

Yep. I been thinking a lot. Had a minor set back and had to get back on the happy pills. For some reason the things give me a different perspective on things.

Not that it is all bad but it is different to say the least..

On Schrader. That is a scary thought. You know Smoke and Kyle would not think twice about knocking him out of the way. We can only hope he gets a good start and pulls away from those two.

The Pepsi Lite wine cooler was good last year. My favorite was the sour grape flavor.
I hope he keeps that in his new line.

Sounds like Gibbs Racing stole an idea from the GGW racing teams race cars for the Snow Ball Derby.

Guess I will have to file a complaint with NASCAR accusing JGR of stealing our secret weapons.

Yep. It would be a good idea to stay behind Kyle till he pits.

I see Dale Jr. finishing in the top 5 behind Boyer in first. If you are refering to Truax Jr., he will bring up the rear in front of Johnson( sorry TEZ.)

Yep on the Volley Ball team. Perfect candidates for the NASCAR grid gals.

Precisely. Not that I would want to be so precise, but you nailed it.

As with any sports figure, not a good idea before a major event.

Junior made the most intelligent comment in awhile when commenting on the Rousch Racing sway bar that magically ended up in the hands of Toyota.

"Whoever took that sway bar should be barred from the garages." I agree.
Get a rope.

I do hope you got some medication for that flu you got. The Whoopie cushion is yours, really didn't help me that much especially with the trifecta.

Get well soon and drink plenty of bottled water. Found veggy or chicken noodle soup works.

Ahh. Photo. Good touches on the sport we love. Some funny..As always. Some makes me scratch my head and say "Wow that could happen" and others well. I am just glad we are all fans.
That multi sponsor for nascar like some teams is a great idea. I would like to see victory secret sponsors at the races.....Ahhh. a man and his dreams..Later Photo..

Photogr, Thinking is a wonderful thing, especially if you do it carefully. lol

Open wheel drivers, there was so much made of their success in F1 and Indy cars that I think way too many thought they would just be successful here. But just because you are successful in one series, does not mean you are going to be successful in another. Tony Stewart made it look easy. But the reason for that, is the man has a talent that few drivers have.

Smoke taken himself out...I'll get back to you on that one. lol

Robby isn't the only team in deep trouble this weekend. Michael Waltrip Racing has succeeded in getting into another controversy again. With Jack Roush of all people. Makes one wonder what is going on over at MWR.

Now back to Smoke. First the guy did get a haircut. He looks alot better. At least he doesn't look like someone who just walked out of the woods after getting lost in them.

Now Smoke taking himself out. I have one thing to say to that: Not today! He is aerodynamically ready to go: No hair on his back, neck and a lot less on his head.
