Hehe – So Tony’s Still Got Some Fight In Him

Thursday, July 31st, 2008

I was over at Diary of a Track Bunny and saw this link to go check a video of Tony knocking a headset off a USAC official’s head and shoving another USAC official. It got him a $10,000 fine, but you know what? I’m glad to see that Tony still has some fight left in him.

I don’t know. I guess I just like the “bad boys.” The ones who get all the fines because they’re always cussing, always losing their tempers, etc. Maybe it’s because I’m that way too. Who knows, but I’m so glad to see that Tony’s still got some fight in him. I guess those “anger management” classes only get you so far. ;)

And speaking of Tony – I like the new paint schemes, although the Old Spice car wasn’t the right shade of red. I’m used to the Nationwide car I guess. ;) What’s funny is that I’d figured Old Spice would go Cup but I hadn’t figured on Office Depot being the other sponsor. Plus, rumor has it that Ryan Newman is about to become Tony’s driver for the #4 Chevrolet, with Burger King as a possible part time sponsor. It will be quite interesting to see if Ryan actually signs with Tony, and if he does, who his sponsors will be.

Full Throttle Adrenaline

Saturday, July 26th, 2008

So my prize from Amy’s contest for a copy of NASCAR Full Throttle Adrenaline Volume One and Two arrived today. Naturally I ripped open the package when I got home from work and watched the DVDs. They were awesome. I just have one question for NASCAR.

HOW ON EARTH DO YOU DO A NASCAR DVD WITH TWO, NOT ONE BUT TWO, VOLUMES AND NOT ONCE SPEAK TO TONY STEWART?

You spoke to Denny Hamlin. You spoke to Kyle Busch. You spoke to Bobby Labonte. You spoke to J.J. Yeley. You even spoke to Greg Zipadelli  for crying out loud! But did you speak to Tony? No. Why not? I waited all through both DVDs to hear my favorite driver and all I got was a couple of comments from him while he was in his car mid race. Hmph.
