Yoopr, Ole 59 highway sees quite a few trucks in a day, Houston to Texarkana and all points north.. That and 69 highway runs Beaumont to Tyler as a shortcut to Dallas Ft. Worth.. Note: lookout for the logging trucks they're everywhere and some are in pretty bad shape.. Then again if you come thru here often you already know about them!!!

Well after two of the 10 final races the herd looks to be thinning, It has taken an unexpected turn @ the top.. Still 7 drivers in this, but as unexpected as last weeks race @ Dover anything can happen. There is a lot of luck involved in Stock Car racin". I still maintain that Kevin Harvick will be @ the top or at least an RCR entry. If Earnhardt does'nt get a little help with his setups this week he will be the next victim removed from contention.. WHAT DO YOU THINK???

I think it'll come down between Kenseth and Harvick and Hope Mark Martin gets into the Mix.

I'm not counting JJ out quite yet even though I don't like him. He has suddenly gotten real good on restrictor plate tracks, he owns Lowes, he is real good suddenly at Martinsville. Remember, he was something like 200+ points out their first year and nearly won the dang thing in the last 6 races. Lost by 8 points after making up as much ground as Alan Kulwicki did back in 1992 in about the same amount of races. This thing ain't close to being decided yet, Burton still has a win left in him at Phoenix. Gordon could get his 3rd Kansas win Sunday and dominate Martinsville. Anybody could win 'Dega. It's possible we could see the inagural Chase finish all over again with 5-6 guys going into Homestead with a shot at the title.

I sure hope so, It surely makes for an enjoyable and competitive season. I think with the tempers and aggressive nature of most drivers under 35 there should be some banging and gentle nudging in the corners, if you know what I mean.. I have tickets for the races @ Texas Motor Speedway (Nov) 8th race of the 10.. I sure hope it has @ least 5-6 drivers still in it by then...

I agree with the bumping and nudging. When you go see a race live, you see more of that than what the TV shows. Watch the Martinsville race, you will only see a few scrapes on TV, but in person you see just about every car bumping with someone else in every turn of every lap. At the big tracks though, the veterans ain't dumb, they know that if you touch one another, the result may hurt physically when they slam the wall. The young guys ain't hit the wall enough to understand that you can't go around nudging guys out of the way on the big tracks. It has gotten pretty sad, you hear these young guys saying after the race, "I would have passed you but I just couldn't quite get to you to bump you out of the way." :shock: Whatever happened to bringing the car home in one piece and not overdriving what your car is capable of doing??

sorry but it went out around the same time as when Trucking was hard but we all stuck together and it was good.

On my Snapon Fantasy racing last week I finished 58th out of thousands-I COULD have been at or near the top if Kenseth hadn't run out of Fuel :evil:

Comraderie with Truckers in Iraq was Unbelievable though.

You know it, The equipment/safety gear/safer walls and all those historic changes that occurred after Dale Earnhardt's untimely death have made the younger drivers even more daring. Seemed to make it even easier to those flying daredevils who's cars stick like glue and come off the corners like they were on rails to push the envelope to the edge... They have their big one is coming, most likely one of the rolling parking lot races @ 190mph (Talledega) Especially if it occurs by a nudge on the "ole left rear corner" coming into a turn.. Bad News. I think I'm going to take a couple of 34 hr resets in race cities next season. TMS is fast but I love all the racing from Martinsville to Dega..except road courses don't do much for me..
