That was one mighty muddy parking area...

I can't believe my boy Tony missed the entrance to pit road (like #12 Ryan Newman) which probably cost him first place -- oh well... And, that was quite a pileup there near lap 350 or so -- Jimmie Johnson was pretty pissed off during his TV interview right after the wreck! Must've used the word "idiot" several times to refer to the dirver who caused the wrecks...

A new Cingular Wireless store had its Grand Opening this past weekend in Kemotown and one of the promotions included the #31 show car driven by Robby Gordon and sponsored by Cingular Wireless...

Finally received my Joe Gibbs Racing sticker to add to my #18 Bobby Labonte and #20 Tony Stewart stickers...

I love Joe Gibbs, like Bobby Labonte, and am happy that Tony Stewart got more boos from the fans at both Richmond and Dover than Jeff Gordon.

Maybe that dust-up between Harvick and Kenseth at Pocono will take some of the heat off Tony.

The first of two road courses on the Nextel Cup Series circuit will be this Sunday at Infineon Raceway -- this is where the drivers will be making RIGHT turns in addition to the left turns...

I know Gordon usually does well on road courses, but it makes for really dull TV. I'd rather see NASCAR put two more Martinsville races on the schedule and drop both road course.

Yes, Boris, that's what I Said.

Jeff Gordon has been having a string of bad luck, recently -- blown engine last week... At least he's still in the Top 10.

Maybe the #24 team should hire Kenny from Comedy Central's South Park to drive the DuPont Chevrolet...

I'm also developing a favoritism for the 38 M&Ms car. Elliot Sadler is from Emporia, VA. Then there's the McLean VA Mars money connection. He's tied with Jeffie at 287 behind the leader, Jimmy Johnson. Who owns that car?

Darrell Waltrip, three-time Winston Cup series champion, is selling his 2004 Toyota Tundra on fleaBay...

jay: You can take the #99 Jeff Burton diecast car off your trinket trailer list for me...

...I ended up with two 1:64th scale diecasts, both with different paint schemes (since JB doesn't have a full-time sponsor this year).

This is the #99 Hot Wheels paint scheme that was run at Darlington in March and made by (duh! ) Hot Wheels...

This is the #99 SKF paint scheme that was run at Rockingham in February and made by Team Caliber...

Nice additions to the collection. I guess that leaves:

49 Schwans - Ken Schrader
41 Target - Casey Mears
30 AOL - now it's Jim Inglebright, can't remember who it was before.
