I caught a little bit of the Media Day festivities today on NASCAR.com. I know most people think it would be boring to hear the drivers being asked the same questions by the media people, but I find it quite interesting. This is a great place to see the drivers before the racing gets going. The lineup has been set for the 2010 Bud Shootout. Many of the drivers will have to use a backup car and start at the back of the pack due to a crash in the first Bud Shootout practice today. But without further adieu….
- Carl Edwards
- Kevin Harvick
- Brian Vickers
- Ryan Newman
- Greg Biffle
- Mark Martin
- Jeff Burton
- Matt Kenseth
- Jamie McMurray
- John Andretti
- Dale Earnhardt Jr.
- Bobby Labonte
- Tony Stewart
- Ken Schrader
- Michael Waltrip
- Jimmie Johnson
- Kyle Busch
- Derrike Cope
- Kasey Kahne
- Juan Pablo Montoya
- Joey Lagano
- Kurt Busch
- Jeff Gordon
- Denny Hamlin
Just a few notes from today…I guess NASCAR has baby fever this season. Both Carl Edwards and Elliott Sadler will become fathers in a few weeks. Carl and his wife are expecting a little girl, while Elliot and his wife are expecting a little boy. Congratulations also go out to Jimmie and his wife who will be expecting their first child sometime this summer. And of course not to be outdone, Jeff announced today at media day that he and Ingrid are expecting their second child this year. Congrats to all the drivers and their families for their newest additions.
I felt a little bad for Joey Lagano who couldn’t choose his spot in the Bud Shootout due to the fact he is not 21 years of age. I hope Kevin Harvick gets to feeling better so he can do some racing tomorrow night. Maybe Kevin should let Gil Martin pick his spot in the shootout every year.
I did catch Danica’s interview with the NASCAR.com guys today. I have to say she did a very good job considering this is her first NASCAR media day. I am a little bit intrigued to see how she will do in the ARCA race and in the Nationwide races this year.
Well…that’s about it for today. I am like a cat in nip….it’s NASCAR season baby!!!!
