This week NASCAR racing takes us to Atlanta which is sad for me since I won’t be going to the first place I ever saw a race. I am planning on taking in the race during Labor Day weekend so I will just have to sit in front on the tv and watch it like so many others. The first time I went to the races I really didn’t have a favorite driver so I joined the bandwagon of Dale Jr fans since it was like 80 million people in the stands all rooting for him.
This year I will be watching and having a few beers in my Dale Jr glass. Although they call it a mixing glass I use it because its so big I don’t have to make many trips to the fridge to refill it. I can watch more of the race this way and use the commercials for just bathroom breaks. Kind of like just getting four tires and no fuel if you think about it.

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!
I was just sitting here thinking (yes it hurts) and I was wondering if you were to start a baseball team and you could pick anyone from any genration on your team who would your starters be. Obviously we are all infulenced on our favorite team or even generation.
I am watching Ron Guidry’s 18 strikeouit game on MSG network right now and I am sitting here thinking how good Thurman Munson was. Not only for his playing but his leadership.
1b Keith Hernandez
2b Ryan Sandberg
ss Ozzie
3b G Nettles
C Thurman Munson
Rf Babe Ruth
Cf Bernie Williams
LF K Mcreynolds
Pitchers would be Dwight Gooden, Tom Seaver, Ron Guidry, Nolan Ryan,
Relief would be Goose Gossage
