NASCAR FANS - Pick Your Top 5 for Sonoma

[ToriLammy]

It's that time of week again, actually was going to post this last night but I couldn't get in. Fears of "what have I said recently" ran through my head. But I swear I've been a good girl

Okay back to Sonoma, this is a week where your spare could really count for something so pick wisely Boris is back! Here's a list of the specialists

Road Course Specialists at Sonoma:
#30-Jim Inglebright, RCR AOL Chevy - Blaney sits out
#36-Boris Said, 3rd MB2 Motorsports team
#39-Scott Pruett, 4th Ganassi team
#50-P.J. Jones, Arnold Motorsports
#59 or #69-Klaus Graf in a 2nd BAM Racing Dodge

Trying something new this week with my picks:

2. #24 - J. Gordon (always on my list)
3. #18 - B. Labonte (does okay here)
4. #8 - D. Earnhardt Jr (Got "road course" pointers from Boris)

We're on the west coast this week so qualifying is later than normal, remember your picks must be in by the start of qualifying.

Good luck everyone!

Anyone see the report that Jr is listed 59th on the Forbes list of 100 celebrities?

From Jayski:

Dale Jr. 59th in Celebrity 100: Forbes Magazine unveiled its most recent "Celebrity 100" and "World's 50 Highest-Paid Athletes" lists in its July 5 issue. While it should come as no surprise that celebrities such as Mel Gibson, Tiger Woods, Oprah Winfrey and Tom Cruise graced the top of the "Celebrity 100" list, NASCAR's Dale Earnhardt Jr. was ranked 59th. According to Forbes.com/celebs, rankings are based on the relative star power of the celebrity, including how much they earn and how many people are paying attention to them. Earnhardt Jr., whose estimated earnings from June 2003 to June 2004 were $20 million (including salaries, bonuses, prize money, endorsements and appearance fees), was "power ranked" in the same category of celebrities such as Jay Leno, Derek Jeter, Halle Berry and Jessica Simpson.(NASCAR.com)(6-22-2004)

Don't think a NASCAR driver has ever been on the list, something his Dad never did either. Looks like Jr is forging new paths for himself.
