Carol - even tho I only have eyes for Jr, Tony looks really good in that yellow firesuit (at least better than the butt view of him in the other yellow firesuit) DANG the scruff on those two is about to be my undoing. lol

Simmer down girl; save some for your hubby!

MP, Tony always looks good to me! If I remember right, and at my advanced age I don't always remember right, Tony has driven for Jr before in Nationwide.
Yep, KG is getting to be quite the blogger. Guess he will be King Blog Monkey one of these days!

hahahaha hubby will thoroughly enjoy my getting worked up over their scruff.

Kim - I'm not really familiar with Nationwide. I know Newman has driven for Jr, not sure if Tony has (at least not this year).

With Nationwide running the Mustang next year, I'm soon to become a fan!! That's one sweet looking ride - maybe cause it actually looks like a Mustang. Hey Jay - or anybody... Any rumor as to if Chevy will sport a Camaro, or Dodge - the Charger, to go along with Roush's Stangs?

Lol girls, liking that scruff too huh? I MHE they don't seem to mind who got the engine started, as long as it's running..teehehehe. And yep, smoke's driven for jr before.
Boogie- The NWS and Truck series have been some of the absolutely most exiciting races period this year.

WooHooo I got a Newman! It's been a while..lol

Boogie, the rumor is that Chevy will NOT be running the Camaro. Think the Impala needs more help at the dealership.

What a load of crap.. Not that, with all the rules and limitations, it really makes any difference, but still.. In the real world, just how well would an Impala do vs. the Mustang? Figures..

Boogie, in the county where I live, nearly all the undercover cops, investigators, probation officers, etc. are given Impalas. They say they haul a$$. Don't know if they are stock or if they are a "law enforcement" upgrade. Our local police department uses Chargers and the K9 unit is a Magnum. Personally, I refer to the Charger as a brick on wheels. The cops here love them and get in chases that other areas have called off just to show what they can do. Which is apparently very good...until they try to take them off road. Guess the old Crown Vics can handle the dirt better than the Chargers do!

Brini, does that mean Newman is going to do good this race...or be a goof up yahoo??? I hope he does well!

The helmets were cool, but I got a chuckle out of the pit signs. First thing that popped into my head with Bowyer's Hamburger Helper Hand was that it needed to be flipping the other drivers off (I know sponsor's wouldn't go for it but it was the first thing that popped into MY head) hahaha

Looking forward to the NNS race tonight, it should be a good one. Go Tony and Newman!!

Your law enforcement cars def have a law enforcement package to go with them. Better rear end gears, beefier suspension, subframe connectors, stuff-like-that-there. Nothing you couldn't set up in your own car (at considerable expense!) with the possible exception of the gun brackets.
See Boogie, that's exactly why they have to run the Impalas. Because that's the kind of impression people have of them! Camaros are already sexy, no problem selling those.

I get it that Jr would want Stewart in his Nationwide ride, but what's this about Jr asking him to run the 88, when Stewart's in the chase? Why would he even ask knowing that? Look, I get that Jr's in a kind of panic mode over this whole season and he's had it. If he wants to quit, that's his business, but you don't put one of your best friends in a compromising position over things not going right for you, that's just wrong...
Maybe this meltdown, will give him the "Nothing to lose" edge he needs to make a small but noticeable recovery before the year's out. I am a Jr fan, but this is just upside down and it would be wrong for Stewart to even consider driving the cup ride instead of his own, when he's had such a remarkable first season. Just plain bad joojoo!
As for everything "Cup" going sideways for Jr, he needs to realize he's trying way too hard, and he should get some guru to help him get some Chi back. The kid's head must be ready to explode from not being able to connect out there. Geez, if I thought that Hedricks would actually read any email from lil ol me, I would love to give him some thoughts. Of Course, the answer to that is there's probably thousands in line ahead of me asking him "WTF"? If Jr stands down, like it sounds he's going to, he's gonna regret the hell out of it. Pressure or no pressure, he needs to be active in at least some capacity. You commit to a lot of aspects of the season and I think to just up and quit will create a black eye he may never recover from regardless of wins or not.
It may sound cold but "Jr. I know you've been slower than Mikey lately, but go find a field and scream or something, but don't walk away!"
Then again perhaps that's just what he should do to stop the idolization so he can reset to zero and comeback fighting. I guess I'm just ranting and really have no clue as to what he needs to do. Like it or not, even if he did walk away for the rest of the season, Jr. Nation would likely forgive him and be sympathetic...
Has this ever happened to another series driver where they survived and made a successful comeback (besides MM)?

hahahaha Capt - It was a joke about Smoke in the 88 Cup car.

Thanks Captain, that editorial review gave me almost as good a laugh as the real Captain did. Appreciate it man.

Catain; big, deep breaths. It's gonna be okay, man.

just tryin to spark a little more humor... Gotcha!

Atleast Ford is trying to break the robot mold and get back to tradition maybe if this works out for Ford, Chevy will smarten up abit and follow Fords suit.

The investment company Rush was with told him the NFL had no problem with him getting involved and then they go and change their tune when it becomes public.

Did you just say chevy might smarten up like Ford? hahahahahahahahahaaaaaaaa Thats just funny stuff...
