I got a laptop computer recently. This morning my Dad and I got the wireless modem connected and got the laptop connected wirelessly. I am now able to sit in the living room while watching tv and use my laptop. I am sitting here watching the Nascar race right now, there’s a commercial on. I’ve never [...]
This was Dale Jarrett’s last race, he’s now officially retired after 668 race starts. After today he will start one more time in the all star race in May at Lowe’s Motor Speedway. His first full time Cup ride was in 1987. Dale has 32 Cup victories. He has nothing but praise for his sponsor [...]
Bristol is my favorite race track. Bristol at night is my favorite race to watch, and someday I will get to go there. For now I make do watching on the big tv. Bristol is a short track, which always makes for exciting racing. I thought Tony Stewart was going to win but Denny Hamlin [...]
This did not end the way I’d hoped, obviously. Yesterday, Kyle Busch got his first win since joining Team Gibbs by winning the Kobalt Tools 500 race in Atlanta. Toyota got was the first foreign made car to win a race since 1954. Drivers were very vocal about the tire Goodyear brought to this race, [...]
One of the cuter commercials that used to be shown, particularly during a race, were the Jeff Burton State Farm commercials. The commercials weren’t so much direct pitches for car insurance as they were a cute pr infomercial approach. In one commercial Jeff Burton tells his rep how many accidents he’s had. In another he [...]
Seriously. Now I enjoyed ZZ Top’s music back in the day, and still do. But as I look at them on my big tv performing live at the California Speedway for the Nascar race they look like they need to call it a day. The drummer is the only one that doesn’t look absolutely ancient. [...]
I spoke with my Dad today. He and my brother are going to the race in California tomorrow, if it stops raining. Qualifying for all races was rained out and he said there’s chance of rain tomorrow as well. There’d been no word on when the race would run if it was rained out tomorrow. [...]
I have been waiting for this past week, including today, since November. Today was the first official race of the season. The Daytona 500. For any racing fan who’s never been to the track you must go at least once. We went in 1999 when I was pregnant with my youngest. It’s absolutely amazing. Onward. [...]
I have noticed that there are a lot of fitness shows on in the early morning. There must easily be five channels offering different types of exercise programs, none of which seem to use exercise equipment. I started wondering why they don’t scatter the times these programs are broadcast throughout the day, so more people [...]
Today has been what may be one of the most enjoyable days I’ve had watching tv in many weeks. The Nascar Sprint Cup season began this week, and tonight was the first racing action I’ve had to watch since November. For anyone that doesn’t know, I love to watch Cup racing. Rusty Wallace was my [...]
