If you are like me you take care of your loved ones before the crazy Christmas season rolls in. I like getting the people close to me something that is personal and one of a kind if I can. I go to sites like Our Handmade Gifts, you can find some unique stuff there.
I like bargain sites, who doesn’t! I have found some cool Nascar merchandise especially Nascar jewelry. Good stuff that is handmade and everything on that site is only $7.
I am waiting for the race to start in a few hours from one of my favorite tracks: Las Vegas. While it is really not a super speedway that I love the track is big enough to see some serious speed. When they redesigned the racetrack a few years back they increased that banking making racing much more fun.
It will be interesting to see if the Busch brothers do well at their home track. They qualified both #1 and #2 for the race, which was good for me since I picked them for my NASCAR fantasy league.
I am watching my favorite driver on direct tv hot pass and it is pretty cool to watch a race this way. They are giving a free preview this weekend and I get to watch it for free. It is lap 91 now and Jimmie has been in for a couple of pit stops as he has damage but it was cool to watch the pit stops as they are better than watching all the cars pitting at once.
They have a cool idea but I doubt I would pay for it, actually I know I won’t pay for it. Here is why. It is annoying as all hell to have the network commercials. If I am paying for direct tv and I have to pay for this the last thing I want to see is the stupid commercials.
I have been muting the tv and watching the race in the seperate window they have. If we werent away at a commercial the 48 team announcers would have seen that the 48 hit the wall on lap 21 or 22. They have been talking about Jimmie hitting another car but that wasn’t the case.
What I don’t get is why they think people will pay for this as they are not guarenteed to watch their favorite driver as they will be switching drivers up every week. If it wasn’t Jimmie Johnson this week I would be watching the network broadcast as the other drivers are not favorites of mine.
I am enjoying Hermie Sadler in the pits he is good at explaining things. It is better than listening to Darrel Waltrip and his whole ego trip.
I am just glad that Nascar is back!
