I just put on the SPEED channel to watch TRACKSIDE, and who do I see climbing the fence at Texas Motor Speedway but SMOKE. Holy smokes, Tony Stewart finally won a race at TMS. Good things for Sunday....

sorry i didn't get back to ya'll sooner, but i was a little under the weather when i got home last night, and since it was a dusk race, got home late to boot. i live an hour from the track in the best traffic, and throw in traffic from even an iroc race on the way out and it turns into an hour and a half at best. should have expected the kind of finish today, based on the finish from last night. can't believe they can run virtually trouble free until the last quarter and then they just seem to forget what they were doing. anyway, it was pretty fun both days and i am working with dick berggren's camera crew keeping fresh batteries on the camera and antenna pole. we stayed in kurt busch's pit most of the day today, with a little time in harvick's and jeff burton's pits. one nice thing was not having to dash down to the infield care building for an interview. hopefully we'll have the same luck tomorrow. well got to get to bed now, it's going to be an early and long day tomorrow. i'll give a report on tomorrow's race probably monday, since it will be late when i get in. i did get the kids souvenirs to put in their easter baskets, i know ds will be happy with his jeff gordon cap.

 

[pogopossum]

well i made it through race day, still trying to shake a sore throat, having trouble swallowing, but i'll get better. as i said our crew was with dick berrgren in the pits, but we started off at the driver intro area, and man was i sorry i forgot my camera, maybe it had something to do with having leave my house at 5:45 in the morning, but was very up close, even bumping into and being bumped into a few of the drivers. i was a little bummed that i didn't get to ride in the truck with tony, but i went down to the entrance of pit row to meet the others, as we had the first pit position there. then we went out on the starting grid and looked for drivers and owners to shoot, it is great to stand that close when those four words that are so dear to race fans are uttered and the roar of the engines begins, and you know that now it is on. it was fairly uneventful for the first bit but we right next to the 16 pit when busch hit him and saw his girlfriend lose it and head off to their pit, but we had to go to the infield care center and wait for biffle to come out, so unlike saturday when we never went down there, yesterday we seemed to spend more time there and in the garages than we did in the pits.

andy i sure thought your buddy smoke was going to climb the fence, at one point i was sure he was gonna lap the field, but then another yellow and things got tight again. so all in all it was a good day at the races, and i guess everyone had a good time. well almost everyone, the two guys that set up the fox cutaway fusion car didn't, it fell off one side of the rack, upside down, not sure how that happened, but i'm sure they will hear about that for some time.

but we got done by 8 o'clock and made it home by 9:40, i think the ft worth police are finally figuring it out, not that it's that easy to solve.

i always think this will be my last time to do this, but then the next one comes along and there i am again, maybe it's partly the company i work with, they are all pretty decent guys and fun to work with, maybe this year i can give a report from the fall race as well.

Congrats #9 and his fans

 

[gris gris]

OK this is like a race fan's dream. Being bumped by a driver??? LOL I would have asked him to bump me again So do you do this every time there is a race? And it's through the company you work for? I'm working in the wrong industry. Thanks for the updates!

 

[PenskeSth1]

Doggone Kurt Busch!!! took my driver out....killed my picks... IF I WAS GREGS GIRLFRIEND I WOULDN'T OF WENT TO BUSCHS (girlfriend?wife?) I WOULD OF JUST WENT STRAIGHT TO BUSCH!!!! when approachable.. Just a little disgusted right now...
