Staying positive

Points leader and pole-sitter Tony Stewart will be forced to a backup car on Sunday after he spun through the grass. But he's not concerned. More

LOL! Why does everybody think I'm a Dale Jr. fan?

 

 

Nice win Tony. I wanted No. 48 or No. 99, but good for TS.
Is anybody wanting Danica to come on over to Nascar?

 

OMG!!!!

tony wins, and i missed it.

luckily my brother brought his laptop to the track with his aircard, so we watched the race on raceview from nascar.com. wasn't as good as the real thing, but at least i got to "see" the race. most of it anyway.

i'm so excited though!! very happy for the whole stewart-haas organization. they have worked hard and deserve it.

i'm currently going through the cable guide's upcoming events so i can tape the replay of the race so i can watch the end.

did anyone see the nationwide race last night? what does everyone think of what kyle busch did with the trophy in victory lane? i wasn't surprised, thought it was kind of cool. i love that trophy and wouldn't have done it myself, but kyle doesn't typically do anything that everyone else does!

i'm exhausted, so i'm off to bed. i've got a lot of threads to read through tomorrow night when i get home from work!
YAY TONY!!!!!!!!!!!

 

nope didn't see it, do you think it is on youtube??

'It is special'..I won it for Jamie Lynn of the MCF

Tony Stewart's smile was unlike any other he's had in Victory Lane. And as Joe Menzer points out, it's a good bet that the first win as owner/driver won't be the last one.
