The Last Race Of The Seasion!

Posted by Holly on Nov 16, 2008 under nascar

Today is the last nascar race of the season and I will be watching it at my sisters, so no updates during the race as she has no internet, sad I know. I’m excited to see who wins the championship. Jimmy is leading but Carl is right behind him. This could be fun.

I’m also very excited because my forum, cash and chat had a contest to see who would win and we get to find out our contest winner today! The drawing winner gets $20 and points toward the forum, everyone else just gets points based on who won what.

Well, I’m off to my sisters and very excited about it!

Next Week Starts The Chase!

Posted by Holly on Sep 7, 2008 under nascar

I didn’t think I would be able to watch the nascar race today, but luckily I got to the TV first and the TV hogs left it alone instead of changing it on me like they normally do. So I was able to watch Jimmy beat out Tony and I was very happy. I’m sad that Kasey didn’t make the chase, but at least Jimmy is in.

I’m still holding out for Vickers next year. He really did well this year and hopefully he continues to improve and can make the chase next year! So who do you think it going to win. Me? I’m hoping Jimmy or Carl Edwards. I wonder what amazing thing Carl would do if he won?

What a weekend

Posted by Holly on Jun 16, 2008 under nascar

This past weekend was amazing and now that I’m more awake and able to type without almost falling asleep I can tell you about it.

The race was fun, if you happened to catch it on TV then you know what I mean. The beginning was okay nothing much going on except that Brian was leading for a good amount of it. I’m happy as he’s my favorite driver. The end was cool as you had no idea who would win because of gas issues. In case you don’t know who won, Dale Jr. did. It was fun to see him finally win, even though it would have been better to see Brian win.

Other then that we did some shopping, I got a hat and sunglasses, thanks Court! I’m thinking about going again on just Sunday in August but a lot of that depends on if I can buy a house or not and how much money I can make before then.

I’m still kinda tired, but I took a nap earlier and I’m not going to take another one or I won’t sleep tonight.

A day at the track

Posted by Holly on Jun 14, 2008 under nascar

I am tired and worn out and very happy that we decided not to spend today at the race track. I needed time to relax and sleep. I had fun though, even though I did thing about checking out computer rentals and getting a laptop for the weekend so that I could check weather. I still think I should have we ended up getting soaked waiting in line for garage tickets.

Yes the truck garage was awesome and my niece loved it. There are pictures but I didn’t have a camera so I will have to wait until a friend gets them uploaded and to me. It was a fun day and I am looking forward to the Cup race tomorrow.

A long weekend

Posted by Holly on Jun 12, 2008 under nascar

I’m getting ready for bed and hoping to get some sleep as I have to be up at one in the morning because my sister is crazy and wants to be at the nascar track at 4am. The reason being they are giving away Truck garage passes for the first 500 people to show up. I’m thinking even at 4am there is going to be a line up as there are many campgrounds for the track.

So really I may be getting up at 1 am for nothing really. Sunday I believe we are leaving then too. That I get though. I’m not really that excited about the garage area as my niece is coming with us and I will probably be the one watching her and making sure she doesn’t run off.

NASCAR being sued?

Posted by Holly on Jun 11, 2008 under News, nascar

I’m a huge NASCAR fan, but even I think this is just a little crazy. Don’t get excited I’m actually on the side of the person suing NASCAR, if all of this can be proven. According to the article I read the women, Mauricia Grant is suing NASCAR for racial and sexual discrimination. She was an official who worked hard but was treated unfairly. Apparently men exposed themselves to her, called her and other women workers lesbians because they didn’t sleep with them or at least flirt back. She was also fired eventually because of her complaining and so was another women. A few officials were named were Balash, assistant series director Mike Dolan, supervisors Alan Shephard and Dennis Dillon.

I don’t find this completely surprising as if you look at NASCAR’s roots, it’s southern. Now I’m not saying that all southern people are like this, but when I lived in Texas I did notice a huge increase in the amount of people that are vocal about their dislike of other races and even the north. I can’t tell you how many times I was told I was a stupid Yankee by one man where I lived.

I hope that the top guys at NASCAR can do something and will do something about this if these allegations are true. That needs to be proven first and it sounds very possible. I guess it will be something to watch out for and see what happens.

Not Fair!

Posted by Holly on May 25, 2008 under nascar

I’m watching the NASCAR race, and Brian Vickers was leading and I was happy and then he crashed hard. It sucks! Why couldn’t it be Stewart or Bush! (Kyle). Okay I’m done now, but I’m still not happy. I was all thinking maybe since I haven’t seen a race in 3 weeks he may actually win one. No, grr. Okay I lied I wasn’t done yet, now I am.

Anyway, this just means he will have to win in Michigan this June. That would be cool, cause the first race I ever went to he crashed really early in the race. It was sad, I still had a good time, but it would have been fun to have someone to cheer for. I’ve learned my lesson since then, I now have 3 drivers I like so it should be okay.

Anyway I’m back to the TV. :)
