Truex not yet decided on 2009 and beyond with DEI

Interesting…. very interesting.

What do YOU think? Do you think he’ll stay with DEI or head to Richard Childress?

RICHMOND, Va. (AP)—With Carl Edwards off the free-agent market and Greg Biffle adamant he’ll stay at Roush Fenway Racing, the attention turns to Martin Truex Jr. and his status at Dale Earnhardt Inc.

Menardisms - #1 - 50-year-old-man?!?

Apparently Paul really doesn’t like Tony Stewart. TGOM reports over at the AOL Fanhouse… I mean, come on, Paul is a decent driver or he would have never won that Busch race, but does anyone really think he’d have a spot at a team like DEI if it weren’t for his Dad’s sponsorship? Eh, regardless… Paul Menard says that Tony is a “50-year-old kid in a six-year-old’s body.”

Hm, okay, so does this not make much sense or is it just me? For several reasons…

1.  Tony’s not 50, nor does he look 50. He looks his age.
2. Tony’s body is much bigger than a six year old’s. Let’s face it… he’s got a junk in the hood (his stomach).
3. Shouldn’t it be the other way around, a six year old in a 50 year old’s body?

Guess Daddy Menard can’t buy smarts. At least we have a new side joke now called “Menardisms”.

Bono a bunny?

So this morning was amazing… Tara got us into the DEIInsider brunch and there were only like 10 of us there if that… and Max Seigal, Bono Manion, Kerry Earnhardt, Paul Menard’s crew chief, Regan Smith, and two developmental drivers (one that’s going to be racing at SGMP soon and actually mentioned it. So we got to ask questions, I asked Bono how Martin has changed as a person and driver, and we got to meet them.

I finally got to find out if Max worked with Backstreet Boys while he was with Zomba and Jive and he said yes and asked was I a fan so I’m happy now that I know for sure lol I told Bono that I’ve been a Martin fan since he first started in Busch and took a pic with him, which.. Kerry Earnhardt proceeded to give him Bunny ears and I was like “ahhh, yes!”. (more…)

Tryin’ to get to you

Did I mention anytime in the past few days that I’m tired? Guess what? I’m tired. I can’t stop yawning today. Whenever I talk to someone whether in person or on the phone, I’m freakin’ yawning. That’s why shortly, I’m going to bed after I write this up, finish looking at the Topix boards to see how Tony’s show ends, and then going to go play with my Piper for a few. I have to take her out to the vet in the morning where she’s going to be staying for six days until we come back. It’s going to break my heart. The vet will be closed when my mom comes home tomorrow and won’t be open when we leave Thursday morning so… *sniff*

I’m getting a bit more excited now about the trip. It’s just the stress of everything that is going on around me with school and work that is making me not excited. This will probably be the last post I post before we leave for Charlotte… so the things we have planned: (more…)

Probably didn’t like me anyhow

Today has been one of the most long, miserable days ever that suddenly got a little bit better. Eh, okay not really but just a little. I work for another hour and six minutes and then I’m going upstairs to work on my Sociology study cards before going to Biology at 6:30.

I became a Dale, Sr. fan tonight… I think.

So I’ve always let it be known that I never cared much for Dale Earnhardt. When I was a teenager (over 10 years ago (cries) and liked Jeff Gordon, he was the one driver I loathed. He was the Michael Vick to my Tom Brady and Peyton Manning. When he died is when I was disattached with the sport. I said “hmm” and went on with my life. I knew who his son was and I knew he was different than his dad but I wasn’t phased by it.

My sports writer / radio host paper boy Adam showed me a web site last week, I forgot the url, but it said the only right turn ever made in NASCAR was by Dale Earnhardt. You can take that any way you want to take it. To me, I got a chuckle out of it because I know better. Can you say road courses?  Then there was the part of me that knew that was a horrible thing to say.

Yet.. I still really wasn’t an Senior fan… until tonight. (more…)
