Friday, October 8, 2010
There is a guy in my HUM who's name is Fontana. I kid you not.
1. (1) Jamie McMurray
Whoooa. McMurray was faaaast in qualifying. Like you could ski on the lap tracker because it was so much above Montoya. They said he should get the whole front row because he was so fast. And then he proceeded to have the cutest post-qualifying interview ever.
2. (19) Elliott Sadler
So, like Sadler qualified second? Which is funny because I've read more than a couple McMurray Sadler jokes. I still don't understand them. But dammmmn. He needs a good finish.
3. (17) Matt Kenseth
Kenseth won last year in the "Spring" which was his last win.
4. (42) Juan Pablo Montoya
Montoya bumped Biff and Mouse. His crew chief told him not to comment about how he felt about the lap so as not to give it away to other teams listening. The ESPN guy said "he could say it in Spanish" He's weird when he makes jokes or tries to seem nice. And his glasses are the ugliest thing ever. In case you cared.
5. (9) Kasey Kahne
When Kasey was qualifying I had images of the pictures Viv was sending me during school. I was on the bus and went "Ohmigosh" at the first one, I expained what it was to my friends to which they said "Are you sexting?" "No!" I responded. Then the second picture came which I shouted "OH MY GOD" and my friends once again asked "Are you sure you're not sexting?" and truthfully, I told them "Not sure anymore."
6. (56) Martin Truex Jr.
My crystall ball said to write Truex first. I might. Also, the NAPA Know How commercial just came on. It's been literally forever since I've seen it.
7. (16) Greg Biffle
Ze Biff knocked Joey off prov pole. And then complained on the radio.
8. (48) Jimmie Johnson
Jimmie had the weirdest warm up lap I think I've seen. I was expecting more of Mr.Home-Court-Advantage. The scruff doesn't look horrible today. But his hair could use a tiny cut, it's getting close to mullett territory. Also, I have no problem with him, it's the media's portrayal of him. I just want to say SHUT UP. But he talks and I don't mind at all.
9. (88) Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Crystal ball gave me an interesting Dale prediction. Wow, he was so much better with DEI than HMS. He was on a pole run, but fell to 3rd which bests Joey. Not sure what was up with that.
10. (20) Joey Logano
Joey was on provision pole. Didn't stay there all that long, he was also 3rd to go out, so that doesn't say a lot.
11. (5) Mark Martin
Andy Petree said Mark was looking very race in practice. Join with me in "ewwww" At the last split second ESPN said that he knocked Joey of pole, but he was one thousandth slower. He gave a shout out to all of his sponsors then said "It's early in the weekend"
12. (13) Casey Mears
Oh, the curse of the CM. Yet to attack.
13. (39) Ryan Newman
If Newman had made the chase he would be in 5th place. That means I should use the McMurray Calculation for him too. Also, that means 2 things that might have allowed him to make the chase are 1. If Bowyer had been penalized pre-chase and 2. If Joey could have controlled his car better.
14. (31) Jeff Burton
Burton qualified good ish. He was actually on a pole run for a moment. And I went "THE FUCK???"
15. (33) Clint Bowyer
Clint's got a new crew chief. He seriously needs to make some improvements. And of course everyone is looking at me saying "Wellllllll don't you control this stuff?"
16. (18) Kyle Busch
Kyle's speaking also bothers me. He sounds like a douche without saying anything douchy.
17. (24) Jeff Gordon
...I have nothing written about him. I guess his qualifying wasn't worth notes. He's short.
18. (6) David Ragan
Ragan was close to getting provisional pole. But the weird thing was that while they were showing him qualify, they also showed Jack. Also, I think he and Drew make a good pair. They have similar ish hair.
19. (78) Regan Smith
Regan Smith has the ugliest car ever. Really really ugly.
20. (99) Carl Edwards
Carl sat out second nationwide practice. He said that it was because he had that crappy qualifying in practice. I said he was a good talker. I still think it. He was having a totally awesome run and then blew it at the end
21. (29) Kevin Harvick
I cannot look at Harvick's picture while he qualifies. I think he wants to kill me or something. He qualified next to Carl. Idk if it's because I want to be Delana (sans Kevin, but whatever) but I think Harvick is kind of attractive in the chase commercial.
22. (14) Tony Stewart
I'm sick of Tony's soft calm chill voice.
23. (00) David Reutimann
Apparently Kyle and Reuty aren't past the issue, as I've read.
Reuty has been getting so much attention since last week. Maybe that was his plan all along? Maybe he's an attention whore?
Actually, I think he's a genius. He's gotten more attention than he did after his win in July. And seriously, now we know that the way to get notice is not performance.
24. (98) Paul Menard
Menard's headshot that they show on ESPN is weird.
25. (12) Brad Keselowski
Kezzy needs to get faster. While qualifying he did something kind of weird, then got on the radio and said "I didn't want to do that, but I think it might have worked." He also needs to finish well. Or win. Or finish well and win. His crew chief's name is Jay Guy.
26. (47) Marcos Ambrose
I didn't even see him qualify. Must have happened during commercial.
27. (83) Reed Sorenson
Reed spun in practice. I have nothing else interesting to say other than that.
28. (46) Michael McDowell
I read an article that mentioned him today.
29. (82) Scott Speed
Speedy was actually semi-speedy in qualifying.
30. (43) A.J. Allmendinger
Allmendinger was talking to Reuty. OOooh. Also, apparently he has an average finish of 10.7 in the last chase races, if he were in he would be 9th. But this is not so great, just saying.
skip a few until
34. (11) Denny Hamlin
Denny wants to finish 5th or better Sunday. He's in his Richmond car. I guess he hopes it's lucky. But seeing that he's all the way back here I kind of doubt it.
skip a few more
36. (164) Landon Cassill
Not my friend. But needs to actually do something interesting.
37. (77) Sam Hornish Jr.
Hornish needs a sponsor. Or a ride. Or a good finish.
38. (2) Kurt Busch
Kurt qualified like crap. And when it was over he was pissed at shouting at his crew chief. I'd like to ask him who he thinks is driving the car, though.
skip more
41. (7) Kevin Conway
Last year the rookies were Scott Speed and Joey Logano. This year it's Kevin. Cuteness has gone down. So has skill. Just saying.
Saturday, October 2, 2010
The last time Kasey was on the pole was the race Joey and Newman got into a fight. Fingers crossed for a trend.
2. (98) Paul Menard, Ford, Zecol/Menards
I read that RPM swept the front row and was so confused. Why do I never remember what team he's on?
3. (24) Jeff Gordon, Chevrolet, DuPont
Did you hear that DuPont's leaving him? Maybe he'll get a sponsor that doesn't confuse me.
4. (20) Joey Logano, Toyota, The Home Depot
He is wearing red for the nationwide race. That is a great color on him. Maybe he's to pale for the black or something. Also this is a totally not crappy place to qualify. I guess someone explained numbers to him.
5. (16) Greg Biffle, Ford, Sherwin Williams/3M
+1 for the crystal ball.
6. (39) Ryan Newman, Chevrolet, U.S. Army
I totally wouldn't mind him fighting with someone.
7. (42) Juan Pablo Montoya, Chevrolet, Target
The Nationwide race is not on because of football. Could ESPN please stop screwing us over like that?
8. (17) Matt Kenseth, Ford, Crown Royal Black
I still apologize for last week.
9. (2) Kurt Busch, Dodge, Operation Home Front/Miller Lite
His voice bugs me.
10. (6) David Ragan, Ford, UPS
Remember that time he led, like, a lap at Michigan?
11. (21) Bill Elliott, Ford, Motorcraft/Quick Lane Tire & Auto Center
I was following qualifying on my phone when he bested Denny. I laughed so hard.
12. (11) Denny Hamlin, Toyota, FedEx Freight
My mom said she's seen his parents. I think that's he way of saying "If you don't start being nice to him I'm going to have a talk with his parents."
13. (78) Regan Smith, Chevrolet, Furniture Row Companies
My dad and I were talking about the Talladega race in 2008. I asked who won and he said that was the race that the guy who never does anything won but was below the line. I thought he was talking about Joey at first, but then he said it was Regan.
14. (14) Tony Stewart, Chevrolet, Office Depot/Old Spice
Tony was the one who actually won that race.
15. (19) Elliott Sadler, Ford, Stanley/Susan G Komen for the Cure
The color of his car is cute, but still not the color I would want. Also his sunglasses are ugly.
16. (00) David Reutimann, Toyota, Aaron's Dream Machine
Whatever happened to Tums?
17. (09) Bobby Labonte, Chevrolet, Phoenix Construction
He led laps at Dover, I think.
18. (77) Sam Hornish Jr., Dodge, AAA
I was watching the Atlanta race. I laugh so much when Kurt says "Are we driving the 77's set-up?"
19. (18) Kyle Busch, Toyota, M&M's
Ryan and Sam just tweeted that Kyle took the lead. I'm not watching because of fucking football.
20. (88) Dale Earnhardt Jr., Chevrolet, National Guard/Amp Energy
I've started getting youtube subscribers and twitter followers with "88" in their title.
21. (48) Jimmie Johnson, Chevrolet, Lowe's/Johns Manville
Maybe things will go like they did in New Hampshire and everyone will go all crazed for positions.
22. (1) Jamie McMurray, Chevrolet, Bass Pro Shops/Tracker
I enjoy doing the weekly Jamie watch. I'd enjoy it a little more if he were in the chase.
23. (31) Jeff Burton, Chevrolet, Caterpillar
At Richmond when it was raining his spotter/crew chief informed him that it was clearing up. To which he responded "No! It's a monsoon!"
24. (29) Kevin Harvick, Chevrolet, Shell/Pennzoil
Delana just tweeted that Happy took the lead. Oh! It's finally on! After 11 laps.
25. (56) Martin Truex Jr., Toyota, NAPA/Susan G Komen for the Cure
His car needs more pink. He's in the Nationwide race now.
26. (12) Brad Keselowski, Dodge, Penske Racing
Never discussing him with my mother.
27. (33) Clint Bowyer, Chevrolet, Cheerios/Hamburger Helper
I was playing with a quarter earlier. Can you believe that a quarter is everything to this team?
28. (5) Mark Martin, Chevrolet, GoDaddy.com
I love him, but he needs to start doing well again
29. (46) Michael McDowell, Chevrolet, Cash America
Kyle's leading the Nationwide race.
30. (43) A.J. Allmendinger, Ford, Insignia HDTV/Best Buy
He did beyond awesome last week. Do it again.
31. (99) Carl Edwards, Ford, Aflac
Really? 31st? At least he's 5th right now in the Nationwide race.
32. (47) Marcos Ambrose, Toyota, Little Debbie
He did good at Richmond. I was stunned.
33. (82) Scott Speed, Toyota, Red Bull
I was watching Atlanta when he was on fire. Pretty funny.
34. (83) Reed Sorenson, Toyota, Red Bull
Is he going to get a ride next year?
35. (64) Landon Cassill, Toyota, Gunselman Motorsports
He is not my buddy and if my dad says that one more time he will feel the wrath.
36. (26) Patrick Carpentier, Ford, Air National Guard
Kyle is still leading in the Nationwide race. I say this as if it's news.
37. (13) Casey Mears, Toyota, GEICO
I get so worried that the curse of CM will come back. Not yet.
38. (37) David Gilliland, Ford, Taco Bell
When my dad was telling me about the All Star race we were at Taco Bell.

Nationwide 7/31/10
Oh, by the way, my dad had mentioned something about Ambrose leaving JTG and I said "I know" and he's like "You've been reading up" and I was like "Yep" and he was like "Who might he go to?" and I was like "They're saying maybe Petty" and he was like "Taking the 9 car?" and I was like "Or the 19" and he was like "I can't see him doing either sponsor"

Last Night
hey?
I missed you!
Missed you too. Did you watch any of the race?
no
Too bad. My post is up, but I kind of didn't talk about it that much. I was actually enjoying just watching it
Ohh. I just got home at 7 haha
It's okay. I was watching it delayed ![]()
yay?
I meant you weren't able to spoil it for me. Although I spoiled it a little completely accidently
Oh?
Nope. I unfollowed Nascar on twitter, but not Nascar News. I glanced at my phone for a sec during the race and saw McMurry, and put it away right away
Ha! Good for you
I meant to apologize for blowing you off last night.
I was in bed when I saw your facebook comment and got up and online only to realize that I was way to tired
last night?
Yeah
You there/
Yeah. why?
You hadn't said anything
Oh, maybe it didn't show up on you messenger. Or meybe you replied and I didn't get it. Sorry. I'm very tired and trying to download stuff
Oh. Sorry to bother you. What are you downloading?
A series of graphic novels
I read the first one today, but there like $12 each. So I'm downloading jpeg and attempting to put them on my mp3 player. Also, I'm deciding if I wanna download a show
That's unbelievably cool.
Any chance you read my post about last night or today>
?
Thanks. But it's not working. For some reason pictures of Matt Doyle keep appearing. Not complaining, but when I wanna read about Scott Pilgram, it could be a problem
Huh?
Random: I'm pretty sure that it was fate that caused me to go to AI yesterday
Way to answer my question. Why was it fate
?
You have to promise not to laugh at some of the reasons
I'll keep it somewhat quiet
One of the less ridiculous ones: Holiday cam on the radio on our drive home
I bought the Scott Pilgrim book at a store, then I noticed that Will (my fav character) wears a Scott Pilgrim t-
I'm in love with Gerard Canonico. Like literally, more in love than with anyone before. It's almost painful. Anyway, it was also his birthday
I had more reasons but I can't remember them
oh, also, (another Scott P reference) SP is dating a girl 6 years younger than him in the book. Gerard is 7 years older than me
I must quote Mr. Eko
Don't mistake coincidence for fate
True. But I was supposed to be going NEXT week. But we ended up going this week. And on the way there we were listening to music and a bunch of Gerard songs came on shuffle. Which made me think about his birthday. Kinda OT: he played Good Riddence after the curtain call and I almost died. Well everyone did, but he was the first to start playing and sang the first few lines
Ok
I was gonna review it, but it ended up being wayyyy to long to keep anyone's attention
Fine.
You never answered my question. I mean, I understand if you just didn't want to read it.
I had an understudy
Libby?
Sorry, I'm being difficult aren't I?
Yeah, Mary was sick. And yes you're difficult
Lol, I thought of you when I was reading my book (I may make alot of refernces. I sat in the car for 6 hours today and read it 3 times) because at one point he's talking to Ramona and he's nervous and all over the place. So Ramona's like "Stop. You're all over the place." He replies "But I'm so sincere!" and she just says "Sincerely lame, maybe."
YOU STILL HAVENT ANSWERED MY QUESTION
Sorry, now I'm difficult AND weird. I'll go do the trivia thing. Maybe I'll be better after it
THE ONE I JUST ASKED YOU. SCROLL UP
Random: I was stuck in Pocono for an hour or so. You'll NEVER guess what I was thinking about the whole time ![]()
And now I have to assume you're not talking to me. I'll be back sometime later
If it's even worth coming back...?
Sorry. My parents pulled me away
I'm sorry! Come back!
Ohhh ok. Sorry, I was watching top chef
Nice.
I know. Remaking it ASAP
You saw the mistake?
Yeah. That pic took forever to decide which phrase to use it for, and then I fuck up and forget a "r" -
Oh, that sucks!
I don't know if you remember, but that hapened to me with my last excerpt. I worked so hard and then stupidly mispelled a word
Thanks. But it won't be hard to redo
That's what I thought
Guess who won the O'Reilly Auto Parts award?
who?
Guess.
I knew you would say that. Uhhhhhh, hint?
It's a guy.
You haven't gotten it yet?
You suck at this guessing game thing
Thaaanks. But you didn't give me a hint
Yes I did. Something is wrong with your messenger
vmr496 : I knew you would say that. Uhhhhhh, hint?
UGH. How do know it's not a problem with your's?
Because 1. Mine works just fine. 2. It showed up
You know what?
Okay. Bye
Hopefully you'll feel like responding tomorrow
By the way, how come you never updated my database?
I did something. I think it was finishes in last race and updating of sponsers. But for some reason rankings and points wouldn't open
I'll update finshes again tonight
Fine
Would it be too much to ask for formspring questions tomorrow?
Pretty pretty please?
![]()
That's the smilie that looks most like my begging face
Clearly you've left or something, but I thought I'd ask

Brickyard 400
I will start this with a quote "The sound of engines makes me sleepy" well the sound of engines turns me on. Hilarious commercial! For ESPN, it has the 99 and 12 trucks. My mom had difficult getting it, jeez. Oh gosh, my dad can't read. Kyle Busch is not starting 18th, he IS 18, starting 20 something. Green. Quick trouble. Reutimann, Busch, Hornish, Sorenson. Ugh, whoa. That's bad. Kurt 25, Kyle 26, Logano 27. What's going on here? Tons of good drivers are having issues; Newman, Edwards, Hamlin, Allmendinger, Keselowski. Goodness. Logano 21st. Kyle Busch is now 18. And omigod. There's a car on fire and a car torn up. It's only lap 15! Goodness. Pretty much everyone is pitting under caution. Logano moved up 10 spots into 10tbh. Jimmie almost got into trouble for going straight onto the track, but it's all good. Lol, some guy who didn't pit is in the front of the field. Back and forth and back again and Montoya passed Johnson. This post is epic boring. Biffle leading. Caution for debris. Good for Montoya, not so much for Biffle. Soo, sorry for not commenting any more until the end. YAYYyyyyy McMurry won!!!!!! Ahhh. So happy! Logano finished 9th (yay top 10!) And Biffle finished 3rd (Harvick 2nd) Yay McMurry! Yay! And nice comments about that from Edwards. Interview with Jimmie; too bad. Yay McMurry kissing the bricks. Biffle interview; nothing terribly interesting, just said that he should have taken two tires on the last pit. Johnson moved to 4th in points, Denny up to 3rd. Dad skipped through well, all of Kyle's interview and then watched all of Kurt's. Mmm biased. Lovve.
Saturday, July 24, 2010
Nationwide 7/24
Starting a little late. Went to dinner with family, the race was on one of the screens but I couldn't see a lot. They interviewed Edwards and asked him do tempers flare...he said "why would you ask me that?" So yeah, ha. First 10 seconds something happens and someone gets banged and the announcer says "clean start" uh, wtf? The guy in the lead (Trevor Bayne) is really cute. No Logano in the 20. Did my mom just randomly mention Carl? Right on the 7th lap Edwards and Keselowski get right up with each other. Oh jeez. Oh, poor guy in 20 car. Kyle Busch in 4th. Alredy has damage a little. This is like watching short track speed skating. Busch takes 2nd. On Bayne and Busch "the young guy or the veteran?" hm. Bayne just barely holding of Kyle. He's really making an effort, there he just got passed. Yaaawn. Edwards 13. Yellow. Aww. Guy's a rookie :(. Pit time. Bayne takes first on restart. Something wrong with Busch's car? Did they just say that Kyle didn't push him? Why does he hve a tire mark on his car then? Bayne lost a few positions. :( but he was passed by good drivers. Did you just look at me when they said Kyle Busch? Weird, much. Please stop talking about Keselowski's probation. Keselowski 2nd. Yellow for debris. Ohmigosh, there's a car with no front! Busch first. And 2 cars just had problems. Caution. Kyle Busch has a loose wheel? That's bad. Lots of bumping and grinding with Horniday and Bayne. My mom just pointed out that Bayne is a year older than Rachel. Edwards right behind Keselowski. After the caaution, they're starting next to each other. Bayne keeps losing spots. :( caution. Horniday involved. The flag wavers hands got tired, haaa. Why do they insist on talking to the drivers during a caution? I wouldn't want to. After restart Carl moved up into 4 and past Keselowski. Go Carl! Now he's 3rd. Now he's 2nd. Caution with 6 laps to go. Very fortunate for Carl, not so much for Kyle. Maybe GWC? Yep. Shall be really interesting. Really interesting. I'm like shaking. Good start for Kyle. Contact. Edwards got super close. But Kyle won. Viv sucks. Thanks for ruining it. But Carl raced clean, good for him. My dad just told me a story about Edwards doing something from a video game. Where did my mom go? Is she pouting? Well, nice interview with Carl and his nice smile. Now, do I want to see Kyle's interview. My dad's hand is on the remote, we know he doesn't want to. Lol, if you disect the comments it's so funny. Although he made a comment that people who race with respect get raced clean. That was a slight at Keselowski a little. Ooh, he just dissed Horniday and boasted about himself. Brad's interview; he's cute. Now asking him about Carl. Handshake between Carl and Kyle.
