IT'S TIME TO BE A THINKING AGAIN

I hear on the news that Stewart has made a pubic announcement he is buying into Haas Racing. I certainly hope he really checks out the accounting records on that team. Seems to me there were other teams just ripe for a major take over at a fraction of the cost of Haas racing. Kinda reminds me of A.J. Foyt when he started his own INDY car team. Nothing but disappointments for Foyt.

I hear DEI is trying to get investors to buy into their racing operation.  NO wait they are wanting to sell. No they are courting investors. Quite frankly who in their right mind would want an operation that has a warehouse  full of bagged sugar.

The ante has been upped with silliness this season.  Mark Martin the ever prepetual retiree is comming back to race 2 full time seasons with HMS. Just in case he might win a championship with HMS power. Well the odds of that happening is as great as Mikey Waltrip winning a race doing 55 MPH. Where are the beer cans comming from?

Brad K. and Joey L. are the latest hot NW drivers but where do they fit in on the silly season as far as getting a CUP ride next year?

UMM. Let me see. Stewart has 2 cars open for drivers if he stays out of one of the cars. At his age, it is time to pull a Rick Hendrick and run the team. I see success in that set up but failure other wise. OK. Quit throwing the beer cans!

Kyle Busch.  This year he is the golden boy of NASCAR. Next year watch out for Joey L. and Brad K. or any other hot young gun comming up from the NW ranks. Sorry Kyle, your days are numbered. NASCAR has announced you have to race with  a V6 engine to equalize the HP ratings. What. No Beer cans? Do I hear cheers?

Dale Jr. Boy is sheep dip going to hit the fan on this one. HMS has given Jr. the best set ups and the fastest cars the first half of the season. Sadly he has not won many races but has finished in the top 5 a few times. Sadly Jeff and Jimmie is about fed up with the favoritism and are demanding the better cars the rest of the season. They also want him to play like he was a team member and help them try to win rather than hang them out to dry. Ouch! The beer cans are flying now.

Thats enough for now. Ya'all come back now ya heah!

              REPORTING FROM THE TWILITE ZONE

Having a difficult time tearing myself away from the gals here but I felt compelled to write again on some thoughts.

I had first thought the zone was a wierd place but that has changed since all the news and rumors flying around the NASCAR garage has surfaced.

There are more rumors going on than Carter's got liver pills. The hot topic of the season . Where is Tony going? I don't have a clue but I bet he makes a fortune out of it. I even heard that the Pillsbury Dough Boy Company wants to sponsor Tony wherever he goes. I was thinking more on the lines of Genny Craig Weight Loss Centers.

Mark Martin is to announce that he will take over the #5 car with HMS on a full time schedule. Doesn't this guy ever stay retired permanently? If he hasn't won a championship by now he may never win one.

Mikey Waltrip finally came in second last week on a rain shortened race and his team is pumped up to win at Daytona.  I do believe in miracles but the only way Mikey will win at Daytona is if the 42 other drivers are in a "Big One" or if it rains and that "ain't gonna happen".

While we are on Mikey, rumor has it the sponsors are leaving MWR save one and he is in deep debt. Sounds like a buy buy deal to me for someone wanting to get into racing on the cheap.

It is rumored that Truex and Menard 's contract is up next year and they are leaving DEI. That leaves them with only Almirola  as their possible only driver.  With Menard leaving with all his money and Truex possibly taking the Bass Pro Shop sponsor possibly, what is DEI going to do for a sponsor? I get it, DEI will have a sugar manufacturer  for a sponsor considering all the sugar she used to buy when Jr. was with DEI. That sounds like a sweet deal.

Jamie Mc Murray is out at Roush Racing according to rumors. Ok where does he go?  With his current history, does any one care?

 Gordon and Johnson with HMS. They got to get cars as good as Dale Jr. to be in the top rankings again. Seems like to me, Letart can't make a good call lately on Gordons car set ups. Knaus is sand bagging till the Chase then Katie bar the doors. Sounds like a logical strategy and cost effective.

Kyle Busch the wonder boy. You either love him or hate him. It has been  along time ( about a year) since we have had a driver that can win a race repeatedly and doesn't cause a bunch of wrecks.

 Which brings up my next driver.

Juan Pablo  Montoya. Some times he shows a bit of promise but mostly he wrecks himself or some one else accidentaly or intentionaly.

Open wheelers in NASCAR. By By boys. Don't let the door hit you in your butt as you leave. So far I am not impressed with any of their results. Mostly field fillers.

GGW Racing Team. Funny that this team has so many cars in different series and appears to be well funded when other teams are sinking. Looking into this matter I have found the team has its hands in many money pots from banana import exclusitivity, to alternative fuel resources ( mostly high octane moon shine) as well as the ability to operate on a literal banana peel budget.

Not to mention they have become quite clever at getting the cars through inspection with out being caught. Could it be that NASCAR doesn't think a bunch of people dressed up as a bunch of wacky Gori*llas can be taken seriously and wave them through while laughing their heads off only to regret it later?

 Their curent self financed tours in major cities local tracks is an indication this group is serious on dominating racing circles. Perhaps some one should wake this group up and let them know they are not in fantasy land and to wake up and smell the banana peels. 

The only problem with that is their fantasy races are more exciting than the real thing so I guess they do serve a purpose.  Hard to determine what purpose but they are a hit in NASCAR blogs.

Thats enough for me. Back to the gals.
