But D.J. ain't gonna bring the Brown Truck with him...

 

No decisions have been made by UPS so far. See this article I ran across today. They have developed a great relationship with DJ doing their UPS commercials...combine that with Michael Waltrip and his sponsor plugging...can you even imagine how great things would be for them? I'm sure they will think long and hard when making a decision on where they will be next year.

Congrats to Greg Biffle and the entire National Guard/Subway team. They certainly have been struggling this year and they needed a good finish. Jeff Gordon sure gave him a run for his money...and some people at the Speed Tv NASCAR forum are blaming Ken Schrader for him not winning. Geez...some people are just never happy. Kenny pulled down out of the way and had there been a few more laps or a GWC, Gordon may have gotten around him. Great race...lots of action.

Next week we have the truck series at Lowes on Friday night and the All Star race on Saturday night. Should be interesting to see how things go with the new pavement.

Congrats also to Dale Jr on his top 5 finish at Darlington. Nice runs by the rookie class as well.

it was nice to see Biffle make it to the checker flag this weekend ! Dale Jr toughed it out too with the flu for his best finish at the Lady in Black (I think) ....

Toyota UPS and NAPA, now that would be a big coo for MWR, Dale and Mikey doing TV spots should help easy Toyota's 1st year into NASCAR

KY Dave, I too was at the Snow race at Bristol...just sent my check to reserve our camp site at C&C campground at Talladega for the fall race...will be at the fall NH race also, thats it this year for me (a few years ago I went to 13 races, now that was one hell of year)

I was doing a NASCAR report on a local AM radio station morning show in Worcester Ma but the station changed its format from an Oldies/talk station to complete talk, the show I was on was dropped for a local area political talk program....no room for NASCAR

Check out all the information...I can even win a chance for an expense paid weekend to a race and get to see his show car...Deb will take lots of pictures too
