no NASCAR weekend #9

It’s only a few more weeks until real racing begins…there has been some NASCAR activities going on, media tours, testing and this past weekend some of the drivers were in Daytona for a fan fest…

Over in Great Britain there was even some strange race involving cars hauling camper shells around a track, looked more like demolition derby to me than racing.

At least NASCAR righted a wrong from this summer when they changed the format for the Bud Shoot out and made it a manufacturer’s race and not a race of pole winners and past shoot out winners. Originally it was going to be the top 6 cars, not necessarily drivers, of each manufacturer, which left out Tony Stewart since he left JGR to form his own team, SHR, going back to driving a Chevy. The thought of a rookie (Joey Logano) in the race and the 2 time champ out of the race was more than I could handle and I planned on not watching the race….but now each manufacturer has a wild card car and since Tony is a past champion he gets the spot. To be honest I don’t know who gets the wild card for Ford, Dodge or Toyota…my bad. Now I'll watch...

no NASCAR weekend #8

less than a month until there is racing again...thank goodness...At least this weekend there were driver sightings on CMT Cribs, they visited Kevin Harvick, Denny Hamlin and Kyle Busch. can you tell my heart isn't in this at all...

no NASCAR weekend #7

ok, this is getting to be rather difficult....the only NASCAR type sighting was during the Fiesta Bowl activities, the parade on Saturday and the Game last night....the grand marshal, heavy sigh...Tony Stewart! and they didn't make him wear that ugly yellow jacket!

32 days and there will be some sort of NASCAR even if Tony and Ryan aren't in the Shoot out...
