“Don’t hate the 48!”
Oh yes, I have seen that [...]

Race fans, we have official confirmation. Contrary to popular belief, Jimmie Johnson is NOT immortal in the Chase.
3 laps into Sunday’s Dickies 500 at Texas Motor Speedway, Johnson attempted to pass Sam Hornish Jr. on the high side in turn 2. It didn’t work.
Hornish was tapped by David Reutimann, and then slid up the track into Johnson’s [...]

Continuing our "please-oh-please-oh-please" series on the final races of the Chase, we focus on how Mark Martin (or someone else) could take the Cup away from Jimmie Johnson.

First of all, I think ZZ Top still rocks! As for the ho-hum race, not so much.
Ok, ok so Jimmie Johnson wrecked in the 2nd lap. Big deal. The guy still has a seventy something lead going on. I don't believe anyone will put much more of a dent in his point lead unless something catastrophic happens like Sunday's little accident.
Anyway, my hopes of Junior having a top...

Random Wednesday question that occurred during today's chat: assume you just hit the lottery and became a kajillionaire.
