Contest**NASCAR**Contest - Alright race fans....start your engines!

WOW....I had one of those experiences as a kid with Jose Canseco.....He was an ARROGANT SOB in the minors.....played for the Huntsville stars.....and NEVER did autographs, snubbed his fans with a hand as if they were nothing more than pests!.....got Mark McGuires that day though....Super nice guy who absolutely LOVED his fans!

#36 classwife ~ 32 Mike Skinner........oh dear........sigh.......

Mike Skinner is the "owner" of DH's favorite Nascar quote of all time "Heck I'd wreck my momma if it meant winning my first NASCAR race!" lol

Who the heck is Andy Lally?

 

[FreakyStylie]

You know I used to feel this way until first hand at Brickyard last year I witnessed:

He was talking in front of several fans and when he went to exit several of the fans lined up for autographs: He personally said, "I don't do autographs" and rode away. (Made me very sad)

Now I am sure he gets that all the time but when you have the fans who made you who you are.....what, REALLY, did I just hear that?

We got Kenseth's autograph that day, Kahne's (and his crew was getting on to him saying "Come on we gotta go"). Several others, and one of them (can't remember who) said as he got on his golf cart, "If you can keep up I will keep signing" and he did.

This, I did not know. What a putz! I mean, I can understand how incredible exhausted you'd be after a race, or how focused you would have to get before one, but really?

It truly did make me sad because I really think it would be cool for him to do something awesome before retirement. But I just can't root for him now

But anyway:

BOOGITY BOOGITY BOOGITY - let's go racing boys!!!

ARGH! I don't like Kyle at all but I do NOT think that was intentional at all!

Well I guess it's GO Gillaland

 

[keelalagirl55]

Laurae....I am sooooo sorry....if I wouldn't have had Carl, he would never have been taken out....that is ALWAYS my luck.....Im sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.....

No...I think Kyle got loose...same as had happened when he himself hit the wall....not that I am a Kyle fan either, but I can't say as I put the blame on him.....

 

[keelalagirl55]

Omg!!!!!!!!!

 

[Brutus Buckeye]

well that killed a lot of cars

 

[Lauralie]

No .... right!! These are the things that change a race - it truly is anyone game!

 

[Lauralie]

Really feeling the Kansas Speedway calling my name - but June is a ways away!

 

[Lauralie]

Well I guess it's GO Gillaland

OK so much for that!

 

[keelalagirl55]

Don't know about that Laurae...if it keeps up like this...they may be able to get back out on the lead lap.....lol 1/3 of the field out in 2 incidents.....

 

[Brutus Buckeye]

My favorite driver (#14 Go Smoke) and my contest entry (#2 Keselowski) are still alive!!!

 

[Lauralie]

14 would be ok!

 

[keelalagirl55]

I stand corrected.....almost 1/2 the field is out

 

[FreakyStylie]

Maaaaan, and I've got to leave for a bit.
