I've raced bicycles, motorcycles, and go carts too

Those midgets and modified might be fine for you

Dragsters and speed boats, I've tried 'em all

That airplane race was a heck of a ball

Bobsledding was fun , till I hit that curve

I just closed my eyes and saved my last nerve

Went bungee jumpin', what a bummer

Spent it all in traction, just last summer

Went off roadin' in my buddy's truck

Me and my  girlfriend just got stuck

Snowmobiling is a fine path to take

Still don't know what happenned to Jake

Jet ski's are fun, till you run out of gas

When you see that fin, you wish you're on grass

Sky divin' was cool , till I found out

All the money for parachutes had dun run out

Football was neat, but boring to me

I just had to run without blowing out my knee

Went to the court and played a little ball

Found out an official had bet on the call

Pitched on the field, of baseball the game

A few innings in, my arm came up lame

Tried my leg at soccer, the ball I could steer

Got my butt arrested for underage beer

Got outta jail for good attendance you see

I do for them and they'll do for me

Bull ridin' in prison aint as bad as it seems

Maybe the crowd will drown out your screams

A few years later, walkin' by a church

Who did I see, sittin' on a perch

Mikey, Jimmy, Carl and Kyle

Sittin' all together in professional style

They asked me if I needed a good friendly ride

I shrugged it off and took it in stride

I knew it all and you can't tell me a thing

If I would have listened, I'd have the BLING!

I believe I love talking to good people here on this site-I have talked with alot of you-I believe that I have conversed with some of the most professional writers in sports-

I can't begin to rub shoulders with most of you-I believe that

I believe that you taught me alot

I believe that I fought for my country- I believe that I'm going to the doctor today, for the first time in 13 years- Yep, you read that right-I believe it is time

I believe I have read some of the most humorous and hilarious writing on this site

I believe that I can't start naming names for fear of leaving someone out

I can barely pronounce my doctor's name- it took me 2 weeks- you can believe that

I believe Jr should be doing better

I believe I've been very wrong in the past

I believe people spend way too much money to watch a boring race

I believe that if I would have kept my mouth shut, got all the info and intell, I would have been correct

I believe gas prices  should come down- Put Tony Stewart in charge

I believe this next statement might anger a few select readers- If this does anger you, please read the caution statement-------------------------

CAUTION------RED FLAG----ALERT---------KYLE AND CARL BETTER BE CAREFUL

I believe that if we put GOD, prayer and the Plegde of Alliegience back in school-we would be better off----hear me out -PLEASE-------------------IF WE CAN PUT A MAN ON THE MOON-why can't we find a way for all of us to pray-to GOD-no matter what you may call HIM-if you don't believe, why can't they have a room for silence instead of all of us shooting and killing each other---------------------------------------------
--------

I believe because I came out of a danged war-yes I am trying to watch my language- you may not like me----but always remember-we fought so you can complain-people died so you can complain about this country-DON'T EVER FORGET IT- BUT THOSE WHO COMPLAIN, WHO HAVEN'T FOUGHT, WILL FORGET-I KNOW-SEE IT EVERY DAY

Thank you all that I speak with here from time to time-I love talking with all of you- just had to say my peace-I wish you all well

Carl could win and Kyle could not

Kyle hit the wall & Carl gave him a shot.

Kyle got loose and gave Carl a chance

Carl saw an opening in which he'd advance.

In the days of old, that's just racin' boys

Maybe not now with million dollar toys.

Kyle's just a kid showin' his age

Can he be a champion with that kind of rage?

The days of Allison & Yarborough are behind

In this day and age you'll danged sure be fined.

Used to be days when you're drug out the car

And he just said, boy meet meet me at the bar.

He meant every word and went stompin' mad

The kid out the car is really thankful and glad.

He doesn't want the fans to look and see

Any other driver beat the heck out of me.

Maybe one of these days I'll grow up and see

ALL THE GIFTS THAT HAVE BEEN GIVEN TO ME.

AFTER SEEING THE INTERVIEWS-NOW-I DON'T KNOW-YOU TELL ME -I'M GOIN' TO BED

I feel the drivers need to be more enthusiastic, sympathetic, and understanding when they are slammed into the wall.  I spoke with NASCAR officials pertaining to implementing this new concept-They accepted the propsal-with some stipulations...

NEW RULES PERTAINING TO DRIVERS, OWNERS, CREW CHIEFS, CREW MEMBERS, NASCAR OFFICIALS, SPOTTERS, ANNOUNCERS, SECURITY GUARDS, POLICE OFFICIALS, AND ALL SPECTATORS

1.  Each and every individual that passes through the gate (not passed out) shall be required to show the ticket, ID, BADGE NUMBER, or proof that your butt should be there.

2.  Once proof is shown, all individuals are prescribed (by medical doctors of course-factored in) to take their dosage upon entering.

3.  NASCAR did state they would cut the dosage in half for those children still in kindergarten-they know more than we do and can drive us home.

NEED A BREAK- MY PILLS ARE TAKING AFFECT-BE BACK

4.  All Dale Jr. fans are required to take a double dosage.---NO ACCEPTIONS-MAYBE

THE RULES ARE STARTING TO BE A LITTLE MORE LENIENT NOW

Dang it Dale I told you to take them pills--"I know, I didn't listen"-"I'd be happier."

I want to show you how he reacts with happy pills...

5.  With happy pills you have a good day at the office-yes-experimental  at the brick yard- NASCAR found that with happy pills, a grown man will kiss anything.

6.  SEE BELOW- The pills do tend to have an effect of conversing with fellow competitors and then making them either your team mate or your driver or your best bud-I really don't think these are rules anymore-

These pills are pretty good

I THINK I'M READY FOR THE RAAAACE- ANYBODY GOT A MAGNET??

I crawled up to the Church last Sunday, didn't spill my beer, and saw Tony coming out- I said Holy Smoke-He said "You got that right"!  He asked if I needed a ride- I jumped in and he bet me 50 bucks  if I put my beer on the dashboard he could make it spill- I LOST 50 BUCKS....

Me and Carl were drinkin' the ottthhher nniigghtt and I axed him what would happen if you broke your ankle doing that back ffllippp- He said, "Shortyyyyy, I'll give you the keys and uuuuuu can drive it for meeeee....

Me and Dale Jr. discussing pit strategy

The boy can drive-gotta give him that-I walked up to him the other day as he was pouring Kellogg's corn flakes into a bowl- he asked if I had any milk- I poured my beer in his bowl- I did check his driver's license first of course....

STILL WORKING ON IT-MORE TO COME....

Hey--- That guy in my rear view mirror: Is he gonna stop? 

Dog gone it- where did that tire go?I just seen it!

HOLD ON- just a minute-didn't I say I wanted 4 fresh tires? I'm sorry, my mistake, I forgot who was in charge...

I heard some drivers say the COT is like driving a tank-Interesting-Did your car come with a barrell?

A driver or two has said my fresh air vent aint working...hmmm...

Here or there a driver has said he didn't have a spotter looking out for him-That's the United States Marine Corps above....

That's called doing your job- change those in 15 seconds

Glad to know he is ok

I'm done- I've been fightin' through tears and anger through this dag gone post- It comes from the heart-that's all-If you read it,  and comment-ThanX and I'll talk when I can...

The owners, drivers, crew chiefs, and fans

They all rely on one special man

If I screw up, what wil become of me

My mistake is there for all to see

I do the tires, the fuel, and the jack

When I make a mistake, I won't be back

I know the driver got too close to the wall

But who do you think will take the fall

I tried to fuel it up but it just wasn't right

Who do you think got cussed at that night

The lugnut got hung & it wouldn't come out

"I need another gun" is all I could shout

As he spins the tires, mad as can be

Why in the world did this happen to me.

Before I get yelled at, this picture came from http://blog.hemmings.com/.../general-lee/ and http://blog.hemmings.com/.../GeneralLee4x4-resize

Welcome to the new world of NASCAR.  Here are some guidelines for future car (and truck) owners taken out of the pages of the 2009 Nascar Rules, Stipulations, Regulations, Laws, Bylaws, Orders and Becuzz We Said So Handbook.

1.  In order to ensure downforce you are required to have a minimum of 20 gallons of moonshine in the trunk at pre race inspection- It is acceptable if the containers are empty at post race inspection- No rules on consumption at this time.

2.  A mandatory 6" lift lift is required- If you do not have one, there will be one provided and installed by the owners of the local still.

3. Tires- Ground Hawgs, Super Swampers, or Mickey Thompson's are within regulations- You are also more than welcome to continue to use GoodYear- Stipulation---You are only allowed one (1) set.

4.  Engine- Does it run?....  OK

5.  Front bumper-  Must be made of 3" steel pipe or larger to ensure proper bump drafting.

6.  Rear bumper- Your choice, but Nascar feels that you might want to protect your 'shine.

7.  Windshield- No need- By the end of the race your driver won't be able to see anyway.

8.  Communication- No electronics needed- Fingers will be used each and every lap.

9.  Roll Cage- You're gonna need a good 'un.

10.  Helmutt- Don't let your driver take it off- He will need it.

Enjoy the race folks.

An apology can be meaningful or full of tire rubbish.  My apology comes from my heart.  I may have upset a few people in the past.  For that please forgive me.  I can't change a thing about what happened at Indy, but I can change my attitude. 

You will understand shortly.

I came back from a war only to find that I had to fight another war here with our government and the veterans administration (VA).  I have been through hell since the last time I wrote a blog.  I don't want people to feel sorry for me -heck no-but I want our country to wake up-  just like every other vet that served in some hole in who knows where.  Right now I'm dealing with the VA, Social Security, and enough paper work to replant the rain forests.

Being an Indy boy, that race was disgraceful-but nascar did what they did.......

You all tell me what you think should have taken place-other than a normal race.
