Meanwhile back down in victory lane Kevin, Mikey and Shane came over to say congratulations to Jr and chat it up.

�You guys are invited to come to the party for the win,� Jr told them.

�Awesome,� Kevin commented. �Great job Junebug!�

�Thanks,� Jr thanked him.

�Yeah you did a good job,� Mikey added. �I tried to pass you on the last lap with help from Kev but I guess today you were just too quick for me.�

�Ok,� Jr said.

�Oh Mikey sorry for wrecking you after the race was over,� Kevin apologized. �It was a accident.�

�Its ok Kevin,� Mikey forgave him. �I forgive you. I know that you didn�t mean it that way ok?�

�That�s a deal,� Kevin said.

�Ok,� Jr said. �Let me do my pics and then lets meet up over at my trailer in about 1 hour.�

�Sure,� Mikey accepted. then Mikey, Shane and Kevin left to get ready for the party. When Mikey got back to the motor coach he saw Amanda was waiting for him.

�Hi Mikey,� Amanda said when he entered the motor coach. �Good job with the race.�

�Thanks,� Mikey thanked her. �Did you like it?�

�Yea,� Amanda answered.

�That�s great,� Mikey commented. �Jr invited me over to a party that he�s gonna have for the win and for all the other crazy stuff today that we loved. And the girls are also including you my sweet buttercup.�

�Ok cool thanks,� Amanda said.

�Your welcome,� Mikey replied.

Then Amanda and Mikey got ready for the party.

After they were ready they headed to Jr.�s motor coach. When they got to Jr motor coach  they saw Kevin and Dalandra waiting for Jr.

�Kevin and Dalandra,� Mikey said.

�Hey Mikey and Amanda,� Kevin and Dalandra said.

�Where�s Jr?� Mikey asked.

�I dunno,� Kevin answered. �Haven�t seen him or the team or Hmiel since we left victory lane to get ready for this party. I haven�t seen Martin anywhere after the race either.�

�That is odd,� Mikey commented. �I saw Martin just walking around and heading to his motor coach.�

�Ya that is odd,� Kevin agreed. �What? Martin is going to miss the party?�

�I don�t know,� Mikey answered. �Let me call his cell.�

�Ok,� Kevin said.

Then Mikey called Martin. Martin answered the phone.

�Hey Martin,� Mikey said. �Its me Mikey. Are you coming to Jr.�s party?�

�What party?� Martin asked. �No one told me of any party.�

�Well since Jr won he is going to throw a party for all of us,� Mikey explained.

�Oh well I�ll tell Nicole and I�ll see ya there,� Martin assured Mikey. �Where�s it at?�

�It will be at Jr.�s motor coach,� Mikey answered.

�See ya in a couple minutes,� Martin told Mikey. �Good bye till then.

�Bye,� Mikey said. Mikey hung up and told Kevin, Dalandra and Amanda that Martin would be there in a couple minutes.

�Ok,� Kevin said.

Then Shane showed up and said, �Has it been a hr since we talked to Jr in victory lane?�

�We know,� Mikey and Kevin answered. �We are just waiting for him.�

�Where is he?� Shane asked. �I wanna party!�

�He�s coming,� Mikey assured  Shane.

�But when?� Shane begged.

�In a few,� replied Mikey. �He called me and told me that he will be a few minutes late.�

�That was Martin that your talking about Mikey,� Kevin reminded Mikey.

�No,� Mikey denied. �Jr called me before I came and let me know Kev.�

�Ok sorry,� Kevin apologized.

�Its ok,� Mikey forgave him.

�Well lets just forget about that whole confusion and continue talking on a different topic,� Shane tried to change the topic.

�Ok,� Mikey said. �Like what Shane?�

�That part I don�t know,� Shane answered.

�Ok,� Mikey said.

Then Martin showed up  with Nicole.

�Hello Martin and Nicole,� Mikey said when they showed up.

�Hey guys,� Martin said.

�Now tell me what is up with you not knowing that there is no party after a win?� Kevin asked. �We always have a party after a cup or Busch win man.�

�I don�t really know,� Martin answered. �I am so mad at myself for the bad finish.�

�Listen you will have your bad days and your good days,� Mikey started. �When you have the bad days try to brush them off and think on how you can improve. When you have your good days celebrate them and remember them.�

�Ok Mikey,� Martin said.

�And if you need help on it I�m here,� Shane added. �I know how you feel.�

�Thanks Shane,� Martin thanked Shane.

�Now that we have us 4 here where�s Jr?� Shane asked.

�He will be coming,� Mikey told him again.

�Shane how about you quit the talk of Jr not being here,� Kevin told Shane. �All I can remember you saying besides the advice for Martin is �where is Jr�. Mikey said that Jr said he�s coming so be patient.�

Then Ashley comes to Jr.�s motor coach and said, �The team had a plan but you have to agree to this. we are all thinking of surprising Jr on a surprise party set-up but we need some help. I, you guys and half the crew will set it up here or wherever we choose and the rest will keep him away. Now we have all the stuff we need we just need your help. Are you in or out?�

Dalandra, Amanda, Nicole, Martin, Shane, Kevin and Mikey said sure.

 �We doing it here or anybody got a different idea?� Ashley asked. No one had any ideas. �Ok. So we can set up here.�

�Lets get started,� Mikey said.

�Ok,� Ashley said. Ashley called the first half of the crew over. They brought all the stuff they needed and they all got Jr.�s motor coach all ready for the party. Meanwhile Tony Jr, Tony Eury and Danny were trying to keep Jr away from the motor coach.

�So Jr lets go to the team hauler for a little bit,� Tony Jr offered.

�Yeah cause Tony Jr ahs to get ready for some celebrating the win fun,� Danny added.

�Alright,� Jr accepted.

So they went over to the team hauler. When they got to the team hauler Tony Jr started to get ready for the party.

�Are you happy that you won the race?� Tony Eury asked.

�Yes I am,� Jr answered. �Are you happy?�

�Yes,� Tony Sr. replied. �It was a good practice for the pit guys today. We will win the race out of pit road tomorrow for you.�

�Alright if ya say so,� Jr agreed to the plan.

Tony Jr.�s cell rung. �Hello,� Tony Jr answered his phone.

�Hey Tony Jr,� Ashley said. �You guys can come over since the place is ready.�

�Alright be there in 5 minutes,� Tony Jr said.

�Ok bye,� Ashley said.

Then Tony Jr said, �Well I think I�m all ready. So why don�t we head to your motor coach Jr and meet up with the others for tonight?�

�Ok,� Jr said.

So they started walking to Jr.�s motor coach.

When they got there Jr said, �Its party time!�

Ashley went over and said, �Jr close your eyes and let me guide the way.� Then Jr closed his eyes and Ashley guided him inside to his trailer. �You said that I could choose where to have the party, what place and everything. Well this is the place we chose. Open your eyes!�

Jr opened his eyes and everyone yelled surprise. Jr was surprised about what his teammates, friends and the crew had done.

�Me and the crew thought of it and we got the others to join in and we all thought that you always give us the best parties so its are turn to return the favor,� Ashley explained to Jr.

�Thanks for the surprise,� Jr thanked everyone. �I got a surprise for Ashley anyways and I want you to be here to see it.� Everyone was ok with that. �Lets get the party started!�

�Now that�s what I�m talking about,� Shane said. �And then later on we will have a whole lot of surprises.�

�Sounds like a good idea Shane,� Jr complemented Shane.

�A great idea,� Kevin agreed. �That way he�ll be quiet. He�s been asking me and Mikey like a million times when you were gonna get here.�

�Oh ok,� Jr said.

�Kevin lets just put that to rest,� Shane said.

�Ok Shane,� replied Kevin.

�Any song requests?� Ashley asked.

�What about 3 doors down?� Jr suggested.

�I know what song,� Nicole continued. �When I�m gone.�

�That is a good song,� Ashley agreed with Nicole�s pick.

�And a good way to start off the party,� Shane added.

�Can you be quiet?� Kevin asked.

�Can you both stop going back and forth like this?� Mikey wondered. �Like did you guys get in a fight I missed?�

�No,� Kevin denied. �Why are you getting so mad at me?�

�Because I am getting mad at you two complaining about each other,� Mikey answered.

�Ok I will stop it,� Kevin said.

�Stop well your ahead guys,� Tony Eury demanded. �We don�t want a 3 way fight now do we?�

�Hey Jr I got a surprise for Amanda too,� Mikey started. �Can I do it later?�

�If there are any surprises they will be done later all together,� Jr answered.

�Ok thanks,� Mikey thanked Jr.

�Ok who wants a piece of cake?� Martin asked.

�Me!� Jr yelled.

�What kind of cake?� Ashley asked.

�Ice cream cake,� Martin answered.

�I�m second in this line,� Ashley said.

�We will like to have some,� Mikey and Amanda said.

�Me next,� Nicole said.

The rest went and got a piece of cake. Ashley put a bit of her�s on Jr.�s nose as a joke and everyone was laughing.

�Want some on your nose too?� Jr joked.

�Sure lol,� Ashley answered.

�Is this the party where everyone has to have cake on their nose?� Mikey wondered.

�No its not Mikey,� replied Jr as he put a bit of cake on Ashley�s nose.

�Ok,� Mikey said. �Cause it seems that you both are having a ice cream cake nose trade.�

�Ok,� Jr said.

Later on after everyone was done eating the cake and putting it on their noses it was surprise time.

�If you want to do something for someone or something do it now,� Ashley directed the surprise time.

�I�m going first,� Jr declared.

�Ok,� Ashley said.

Jr went over to Ashley and said, �Ashley I love you with all my heart. I want to share this moment with all of our friends. Do you want to marry me?�

�Yes,� Ashley answered. then Ashley gave Jr a big hug.

�Where�s the camera?� Shane asked.

�What about you shut up for once,� Kevin suggested to Shane. �Dalandra got a camera and she already took a pic.�

�Guys be quiet,� Mikey told them. �Your ruining the moment.�

Then Kevin and Shane stayed quiet.

�Ok I don�t know hat to say but one thing I do want to say before we continue on with the surprises is that I love you and there is no one else in the whole world I�d want to spend the rest of my life with but you,� Ashley told Jr.

�Ok Ashley,� Jr said. �Who wants to go next?�

�I want to go next,� Mikey declared. Mikey went to where Amanda was. �Amanda I have something to say. I really love you a lot and I would like to spend the rest of my life with you. All I need to know is if you would like to spend the rest of your life with me also. Do you want to marry me?�

Amanda was so surprised and said yes.

�And to make the moment special here is a rose for you in the name of love,� Mikey added.

�You don�t have to do this for me,� Amanda told him. �I love you with all my heart Mikey and I want to spend the rest of my life with you.�

They then hugged and kissed.

�Any more surprises do you guys want to do?� Jr asked.

�Anybody?� Shane wondered. �Because I have a little idea.�

�What is your idea Shane?� Jr questioned.

�Well I was thinking of a little idea for you guys,� Shane started. �Getting a little naughty with Hendrick since there is some talk around the garage about tomorrow.�

�What talk around the garage Shane?� Jr wondered.

�Well Jimmie was talking about a little idea for tomorrow�s race since today�s plan broke which glad it did,� Shane started. �Anyways they are thinking of getting Jimmie to drive Brian�s car while Jeff drivers Terry�s car yet not tell anyone.�

�What are they nuts?� Jr asked.

�Didn�t we determine that before now?� Kevin wondered.

�I guess,� Jr answered.

�Now that�s the talk for now,� Shane then continued. �But they were whispering other stuff that I tried to hear but couldn�t. I dunno if its bout you guys or bout then and their cars. Who knows.�

�Ok Shane,� Jr said.

�So Shane do you have any naughty ideas?� Kevin wondered.

�Like what Kevin?� Shane asked.

�I�d be thinking of stuff that wouldn�t get us in shit,� Mikey answered for Kevin.

�Ok Mikey,� Shane said. �I am thinking right now.�

�Good luck,� Mikey wished him.

�Ok,� Shane said. So Shane thought for a bit and then got a idea. �Hmmm what if we play sneak up on them tonight? They are probably still up wouldn�t they be? Well if we play a game of sneak up on them without them knowing we get good. Yet I don�t know how to explain this.�

�I think that is a bad idea,� Kevin comments. �I think that we should go to Mike Helton and let him know about their plan.�

�Now there�s someone who�s smart,� Michael comments.

�Yea,� Jr agreed. �Let me call Mike Helton and ask him to see us ok?�

�Or we could just head over to the trailer,� Shane suggested.

�What about Jr calls right now and asks him and then we can all walk over there?� Kevin asked Shane.

�Alrighty good idea,� Shane answered.

Then Jr called Mike.

�Hello,� Mike said.

�Hey Mike,� Jr said. �Its me Jr. Can we come over because we need to let you know something important about tomorrow�s race and a plan?�

�Sure,� Mike accepted.

�Ok,� Jr said. �We will be there in a few minutes.�

�Ok bye,� Mike said.

�Bye,� Jr said. Jr hung up and told the rest they could head over. Then they headed to Mike�s office. As they were talking they saw Jimmie. He was headed over to Jeff�s trailer. When they got to Mike�s office Jr knocked on the door. Mike told them to come in; so they all went in.

�So what is so important?� Mike asked.

�Well Shane let us know about Hendrick�s plan to put Jimmie in Brian�s car and put Jeff in Terry�s car,� Jr told Mike. �Can you stop this?�

�Of course I can and I will,� Mike assured them.

�Thanks,� Jr thanked Mike.

�Your welcome,� replied Mike.

�Have a good night Mike,� Kevin wished Mike. �Bye!�

Then they all left and headed back to Jr.�s trailer to party still. When they got back Jeff and Jimmie were there.

�Ok let me set something straight boys,� Shane started. �We are not going to put with you nor are you gonna touch me or my friends. Now get you butt outta here.�

�Ok bye all,� Jeff and Jimmie said. They then left.

�How�d you do that Shane?� Kevin asked.

�Just give them a look and tell them who is the boss around here,� Shane explained how.

�Now there�s some advice we needed,� Mikey comments. �Thanks Shane. Now lets get the party back on the road.�

�Ok,� Shane said.

So they went back inside the trailer.

�Ok,� Jr said. �Any more surprises before we have some fun?�

Everyone said no so they continued to party. When it was 10pm the party was over so everyone went to their motor coach. They then went to bed
