BTW...three weeks to the completion of the first half

In other news.....NASCAR admitted to Brian Vickers that it made a mistake in placing the Red Bull Racing driver behind Dale Earnhardt Inc.’s Mark Martin prior to a restart during the waning laps of the LifeLock 400 Sunday at Michigan International Speedway.

For Vickers, that admission was important. Vickers said he had passed Martin two laps prior to the caution coming out. He believes he could have had a chance to win the race if he hadn't had to restart behind Martin.

My favorite track. I've done approx. 1,500 laps on the full course.

OK I pick Bill for the win!!!!!!!!

Man, I couldn't stay in these cars for the amount of time these guys do without turning into jello. I get whipped in a 30 minute sprint race in an open wheel.

I did crew on a vintage Nascar last weekend, Alan Kulwike's Hooter's car. I think it's a 1992. The tires sure are freakin' heavy.

Sour grapes for Earnhardt Jr. in Wine Country

NASCAR’s "most popular driver" had a hard time appreciating the California sunshine and scenery on Friday.

“I just don’t run good here,” he said. “Never liked coming here. Don’t like the track, it’s not a fun track to compete on. It’s fun to go around it and goof off and raise a little bit of hell, but I don’t like being in competition on it. It’s just difficult and these cars ain’t built for it, you know what I mean?

No Dale...may I call you a Waaa-bulence?

“It’s impossible to pass. Where do you pass? There’s a couple braking zones, but that’s about it. You just wait on people to screw up.”

Waaa, Waaaa, Waaaa

In eight career starts at Sonoma, Earnhardt Jr. has never finished in the top 10. He’s finished in the top 15 only three times, and has led a lap in only one event.

“We’re struggling a little bit,” he said. “We always do. I’m not very good at road racing, so we just try to do the best we can. ... I’m just trying to get through the weekend.”

Sorry Dale, being a Cup Champion means winning on all types of courses. Quick! someone call a Waaa-bulence!

Earnhardt Jr. said he's glad to be sitting third in points with a huge buffer back to the cutoff for the Chase. After all, he believes he won't make it through the Sonoma race without a mistake.

"I'm gonna screw up," he said. "Trust me, I'll screw it up. It's good to know you've got a cushion."

So is there any chance Earnhardt Jr. could have a good run on Sunday?

Not with this kinda of winning attitude!

This guy really cracks me up!

WTF is Andy putting in his Burritos. Hell of a charge to the front there kiddo.

Its all that "Nitro-bean gas" he has puching him to the front.

Man, It's harder than a mofo to make up lost ground pointwise.


Course it's all skill in the picks.........

So was Jr. whining or just answering questions?

Looks like a solid 12th place finish to me. Not bad at all.

Both, I don't like or dislike the guy but he does say some dumb things at times.
When he crashed the C5R and got burns on his face at Sears, he said he didn't bother to put on a Nomex head sock AND he didn't know where the fire control system switch was in the car. Not the brightest thing to say on national television.

12th place is solid, Sears is a tough track.
