Hello Nascar friends. It was a boring weekend this past week with no race except for Nationwide, but no Sprint race was depressing, haha. Not really but I sure missed them racing last weekend. Well with no race last weekend there are no changes to report in the race for the chase. However there are a few things going on this week that may be of interest. And I thought I would answer four questions, Nascar related of course and give four answers for each. Just a couple of fun questions nothing life altering to be sure.
It was confirmed this week that Brad Keselowski will definitely be going to Penske Racing next season. He will be driving in the Sprint cup series as well as the Nationwide series for Penske. Keselowski is replacing David Stremme in the #12 Dodge for Penske. Roger Penske says that Brad has proven himself to be a success in his first few years racing and that he is quickly establishing himself as one of the top young drivers of today. Penske also stated that Brad would be a welcome addition to the Penske Racing family.
Ray Evernham was married this past Wednesday to Erin Crocker, a former developmental driver for GEM before beginning a relationship with Evernham. Evernham you will remember won 3 championships with Jeff Gordon before moving into car ownership. Best wishes to the happy couple.
Bobby Labonte will be relinquishing driving duties on the #96 Ask.com car. Yates racing will be replacing Bobby for the rest of the remaining races with truck series Rookie of the Year for 2005, Erik Darnell. He has had 11 Nationwide starts and has 2 top five finishes and 5 top ten finishes as well as 1 pole. Sponsorship issues this season prompted the change in drivers for those races that Darnell will be racing in.
Not surprising to me, Kevin Harvick is having his worst season in 9 years at RCR. Winless since his “stolen” victory from Mark Martin in the Daytona 500 in 2007. I still think that was a bad deal all the way around but thats just me. Anyways, RCR has apparantly addressed rumors for the second time in as many months, about Harvick’s future driving the #29 car for Childress. Childress himself confirmed yesterday that Harvick will indeed be driving for them next season in 2010. Yipee, I guess. Whatever. haha.
And now a round of 4 Questions. Well more like a top 4 list. Here we go.
What are your 4 favorite tracks?
Lowe’s I always enjoy going to Lowe’s, I love this track its my favorite.
Daytona I love Daytona, after all, I live near Daytona!!
Talladega There is no place for real Nascar spirit and fun like Dega, the party never ends!
Atlanta A similar type track to Lowe’s and I have been there but there was no race there at that time!! We got lost going to Dega and ended up at Atlanta! What are the odds???
Who are your 4 favorite drivers?
Jeff Gordon Crazed Gordon fan established 1992. He is still my all time favorite driver. Someday Im gonna hug that man!!!
Mark Martin He was my husband’s favorite driver for as long as I knew him. Mark deserves to win more than any other driver including Jeff Gordon, sorry Jeff. But I hope Mark wins it all and thats in memory of my hubby.
Dale Jr. Truly the most popular driver ever. However, his driving skills leave something to be desired. He has been having a bad year for the last several years,and I wish he would do good. He seems like such an awesome guy and I applaude the way he stood up to that witchy stepmother of his. Come on Junior!!!
Carl Edwards I really like Cousin Carl. My husband thought hewas a good driver and was an Edwards fan as well when both he and Mark raced for Roush. I got to meet Carl and was close enough to grab his butt, but I wasnt brave enough. Unfortunately, Edwards is still winless this season. I am sure that will change before its all over. Go Carl.
Who are your 4 least favorite drivers?
Kyle Busch First on my list of all time d-bags. His antics and television behavior as well as his demeanor with other drivers leaves alot to be desired. His poor choice of behavior like destroying the trophy only prove to show his immaturity. I have seen him in person. I had no desire to meet him then either. I would rather meet a snake.
Kevin Harvick He used to be number one on my list of all time d-bags. I met him once, he refused to sign my hat and put his hand up in my face. Once again I say, this is why no one likes you Harvick. Your a loser, with a capital L. What more can I say??
Kurt Busch The other Busch brother. He has the personality of wall paper. He totally ignored a huge group of fans waiting and cheering for him as well as others to get an autograph. Both Jeff Gordon and Jimmy Johnson, both a million times more popular than Kurt and also present at that event, actually took the time to sign stuff for the fans. Kurt take a cue. Dont be such a loser. Thats why no one likes you either.
Juan Pablo Montoya I know a lot of people like him but he hasnt done anything to impress me. He seems to me to sort of arrogant and smug at times. I dont really like that in a driver. I prefer drivers that are accessible and eager to meet the fans and show their gratitude. Im not so sure Juan is that type of driver. It remains to be seen. Until then, its your game Montoya.
Name 4 reasons you like Nascar.
My husband got me hooked, I havent been able to give it up since 1992. I just LOVE racing.
Going to actual races is the most fun you can have with your clothes on, seriously. It’s that good.
Meeting other people at the different tracks and making new friends. Where else can you go and say you spent the weekend with 100,000 of your closest friends???
Hot drivers. I am not gonna lie. Some of these drivers are really really hot. Good looking guys, going fast, hot cars…….um, yeah.
Well that’s about it for now. I will be back this weekend and I believe we are racing at Atlanta this weekend. So have a great week and I’ll see you on Sunday Nascar friends. Keep on racing.
