It's Sunday. So of course I'm wearing my colors...An old Rusty T-shirt and a six pack of Miller. Then I notice Nik running around in his Jeff Gordon shirt. "Time to change clothes, Lil Man. It's almost race time." Can't have him counterin' my voodoo. I hold out a size 6 'I Race for Beer' tee.

Malicious - Look at it this way...He may not have seen the finish line, but Bliss was first to cross the COUNTY line.

G-Pie - Your Tarot cards are as Rusty as mine.

Dave Volster - Rusty finished in front of Coo Coo's boy. Wildcats won. And the Tennessee lost. Turned out to be a pretty good weekend after all.
Sterling finishes 15th

Quaker Stace & Jeff - Gordon got lucky with that mid race yellow. Hung on to 10th.

GaLori - I don't understand...Penske bought that track for Rusty. Luckless and Lugless in the pits. Finished 11th.

Kimmy - Markingham? Are you smoking a ham?...Ya musta lit the wrong end, Babe. Martin 'squeaks' by Rusty for an 8th. I hope the people in front of you at the Vegas race are wearing those giant Penske blue & white Dr. Suess hats.....

Doc - Ask Geoffro to don a pair of shades for the next bedside interview. He came up before the race and my cats ran to the front of the TV and started wailin' in unison.....Slapshot Stewart gets a couple of shots on goal, but can only muster a 4th.

St. Paul - I watched the race on a 15 year old 19" dinosaur.....And due to the eye strain, I'm callin' in sick tomorrow. Good luck punchin' all the shows...

Tow-Head - Can I pick 'em for ya or what. Wode bulldozes his Cat to a 3rd. Ya gotta run some sort of bite from him, Dude....Just to hear him talk.

Much better racin' this week. And did ya also notice:

1) Darrell Waltrip had more airtime in the commercial breaks than the race. Hey DW, that 66 on the side of your car isn't a speed limit!

2) What's with all the empty seats on the backstretch grandstands?

3) Ya see Dave Marcis "wing-tippin" Jr. comin outta 3?

4) How bout that # 27 wreck. Jeff Fuller gets the Viagra Pontiac UP into the outside wall......(snicker snicker)....He RAISES his crew chief on the radio and tells him he broke a tie ROD. Then (oxymoronically) he goes 55 laps DOWN...

5) Anybody see a guy named Michael Waltrip?

I'm shakin an 8 ball next week.
