It is inevitable, inexorable. It’s not even going to be close. Jimmie Johnson will take it all, including the cake and the frosting. There is almost no real point in watching NASCAR anymore this season since we already know who is going to win. All else is hopeless and hapless and nearly as balls-on thrilling…
No matter how good or satisfying the results were (to some) at Kansas this past weekend, no matter that Smoke won the Price Chopper 400 and Mark Martin increased his lead a bit….no matter how good that might be…the spectre of Jimmie Johnson and Chad Knaus still looms over all of them. Smoke and Old…
I’m a little late with my recap/editorial/take on the AAA 400 at Dover last Saturday. Then again, I also have not caught up on my anime viewing either. I have several episodes of Bakemonogatari, Needless, and Haruhi to watch. So that says more about me, I suppose, than the race at Dover. The race was…
The old men rule NASCAR right now, and I think that’s great thing. And no, it’s not because I am some gasping, wheezing, 56 year old NASCAR/Anime Otaku who thinks that old ways are best ((even though I am, and I do)). I seriously think it’s cool that the old man, Mark Martin, and the…
It all came down to one night, one race. The final race for the Chase. The Chevy Rock N Roll 400 at Richmond International Speedway. It was a mighty and terrible race with the blood of giants coursing through the veins of some of the drivers while from others the blood of giants spilled across…
When I began this war of words, or as I affectionately called it back then, blooging, the idea was fairly simple to me. My first bloog post, on June 23rd 2001 was thus: Saturday, June 23, 2001 Test This is a test of the BLOG concept. I’m not sure if I like this concept. But…
Perhaps it was deja vu, but it seemed for a moment as I began typing this, that in a about an hour so, the Heluva Good at the Glen will tee of at the fabled road course at Watkins Glen. Something was clearly wrong, however. I could not put my finger on it at first….but…
In about an hour or so as I first type this, the Carfax 400 will tee off in the Irish Hills at the Michigan International Speedway. Local lad Brad Kesolowski won the Nationwide Race there yesterday, and I give him odds of a rook to get a top ten finish in today’s race. It has been…
In about an hour or so as I first type this, the Heluva Good! at the Glen will tee off on the fabled road course at Watkins Glen, New York. Australian Marcus Ambrose won the Nationwide Race there yesterday, and I have him as a heavy favourite to win today’s race. But it has come…
I’m not quite sure what possessed me to even THINK about doing this, but since I hardly have an original thought in my head, it does not surprise me in the least, despite any semblance of judgement, better or otherwise, that might reside somewhere within me, albeit deeply buried, that I actually attempted this at…
We can pretend for a moment that I have just addressed you as Evil Ones.…and then proceed to careen onward through the chaos of the English Language to deliver you the ofttimes poignant and bewildering revelations of the NASCAR and Anime and sometimes, the music and political world, DIRECTLY into your e-mail box. Yes, YOU…
This brief document is fairly typical of my almost weekly e-mails that I’ve been sending to a few of my NASCAR buddies, and a several others whose divergent tastes might allow them to find some brief amusement in them. The particular missive posted below was written and sent on June 28th 2009. I’ve been doing this…
This is a test. I have a card here that says… There’s a time for every purpose. Mood: Sullen & Testy Beer: NEW GLARUS Stone Soup Music: “A More Perfect Tree” by Rebel Waltz
