It is a sad day…Steve Irwin aka the Crocodile Hunter was killed yesterday. He was filming a underwater documentary when he was stung in the chest by a stingray. He was only 44.
I have to say I will miss the Crocodile Hunter. I loved watching him “wrassle” all those crocodiles as well as other animals. I always thought he was crazy, but he always knew what he was doing. He will be missed.
My thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends at this time.

Congratulations to Kasey Kahne for doing what he needed to do to have a chance for The Chase. He led laps (5 bonus points). He led the most laps (5 bonus points). And finally he won the race! Next week will be interesting…there are 10 spots for 11 drivers. Hey, Jimmie, that’s Matt Kenseth who is ahead of you in the standings.
It was so cool to Elliott up front and leading the race. I bet it felt good! I ordered a #19 shirt thanks to another Elliott fan for letting me know where I could get one.
Tony also finished in the top ten. Nice run Tony!
Richmond will definitely be fun to watch next week.
See ya Saturday night folks!!!!

So I haven’t posted in a few days…been taking care of some things on the home front.
Here’s the weekend so far…
Big Shrub has the pole for the race today.
Congrats to Kasey on winning the Busch race on Saturday.
I bought a new NASCAR calendar at Walmart the other night. It has various NASCAR stars promiled each month during the year. Elliott Sadler is January…what a way to start off the year. And to my surprise…Tony is profiled in June. That’s right…June people! My birthday month!!! I guess it will be January until June and it will be June until the end of 2007. Of course I will skip over the month they have Jimmie on profile. Oh..and the new NASCAR game comes out this week…Elliott is on the front cover and they have been showing the commercials…too bad he is in his old M&M attire. That’s ok..he still looks good…
Good luck Tony!

This week for me has been somewhat a little bit chaotic. Like Elliott, I too am switching teams. I am moving to another department where I work. It is similar to a job I did about 1 1/2 years ago, but some things will be a little different. Like Mr. Sadler, I will be working with a whole new team and learning everyone’s name, etc. I have some “new things” to learn, but for the most part it will be like riding a bike.
If you don’t know I work on college campus, classes started this week. Here’s a little bit of trivia for everyone…the incoming freshman class..most of them were born in 1988. I graduated high school in 1988. In the fall of that year, I started college. How ’bout that to chew on for awhile???
Only 2 more races folks and the Chase will be set. I am hoping Tony can make a good run at Jimmie, but if he can’t my money will be on Matt. I think he has the momentum to dethrone Mr. Jimmie.
Power Rankings from NASCAR.com are out…they’ve gone retro…if your driver was a movie character from the 80s what would he be…
TONY..Darth Vader in Return of the Jedi: “You underestimate the power of the Dark Side. If you will not fight, then you will meet your destiny.” (How appropriate that may favorite movie villian of all time and my favorite driver are joined together..he he)
Well..that’s it for now…on to California my friends….

Matt Kenseth was awesome this weekend! First the Busch race and then the Cup race!! Hey Jimbo…watch out Matt is a comin’ for you! With Kenseth’s win on Saturday night, Roush completed the weekend sweep!
I don’t know what was going on with Tony’s car all evening. He started out in the top 5 and it went down hill from there. He finished a dismal 22nd. The one time Postman picks Tony for his Driver Draft contest, he performs crappy. Thanks Postman (sarcasm)! You car killer!
Elliott was running good until he had a meet and greet with the wall not once, but twice. He finished 39th..one spot above his old ride. It was still a positive weekend for Elliott.
I was watching Race Day and they announced that Mark Martin would NOT be back in a Roush Cup car for 2007. They interviewed both Roush and Martin and they seemed surprised about the announcement. Of course they could have both been playing “dumb” about it all. Oh well…this has been one silly season and we aren’t even into the Chase yet.
California here we come…

Tony qualified 5th and way to go Elliott for qualifying 9th.
I have been restraining from commenting on the Elliott/Jeremy/Ray triangle. But I have to wonder what was going on with Jeremy. Was he that frustrated that it affected his driving ability? I don’t know any more, but I hear that he has found a new ride for 2007 with Bill Davis Racing and Toyota.
This is the second week in a row the #19 has qualified in the top ten. Elliott finished 10th at Michigan. For all of us Elliott fans we are soooooooooooo happy to see Elliott running good. I have a picture of him sitting on my desk (he’s in a blue M&M shirt and has his shades on) and I just have to say DAMN!!! He is just HOT!!! I would like to thank fellow Elliott fan for the picture. She was lucky to get a chance to meet him at TMS in April and shared a copy of her pic with me.
Speaking of TMS–the boys will return to Texas in November! I noticed this information on Elliott’s Fan Club site for all you Elliott fans out there who will be at the November race. Looks like he will be live and in person at the Bass Pro Shop in Grapevine on Nov. 2. That’s probably the one by Grapevine Mills Outlet Mall.
Count me in folks! This is just a hop, skip, and a jump away from where I will be staying. Postman you have been forewarned!
I can’t forgot my “other man” Tony. He took looks HOT! (Yes, I do have a picture of my husband Postman on my desk despite what others may think.)
Good luck to all my men! Watch out Carl! You never know what can happen at Bristol!!!
Oh yea in case anyone cares…Alien is on the pole for Bristol.
Trixie radioed…
He wins the pole for last night’s truck race. 
He makes his ONE AND ONLY pit stop on lap 30.
He takes the lead for good on lap 66.
He leads 164 of 200 laps He has won at Bristol in Truck, Busch, and Cup.
Crazy Old Man!
