2008 NASCAR running thread

I am confused as to what the 500 means in the race title...miles or hours?

 

Number of fans still waiting for the restart

 

Miles, I believe.

 

I think this night goes into the SportsJournalists.com stylebook under the word "travishamockery." :-X

 

So what tasks can we get Buck to take care of for us if he heads to the speedway?

 

I need somebody to cop a feel on Gordo for me

 

As I await the restart, I'm watching a guy in a suit who's wearing a medallion on a large chain interview an Elvis impersonator about a Suzuki Reno. Now the salesman is repeatedly saying "spanking" after noting that a car is "spanking new."

I've zipped past these commercials in the past. They always make me do a double-take. But I've never spent more than 10 seconds on it. I swear these people have been smoking crack. I'm not sure what to think, but Keemo, the finance director, just told me to call her.

 

I'm at work and the race ain't on teevee...where do things stand? Still awaiting the 1 a.m. restart?

 

And I thought going green with weepers on the track was stupid, you suck even more than I thought, NASCAR brass.

This reminds me of the last local race I covered. The track was in terrible shape and the organizing body (rhymes with Ballsack) had their heads so far up their ass the card was more than two hours behind.

The local cops came and shut it down at midnight. Best ... cops ... ever.

 

Got an email from one of the Fox crew...network ain't happy about this.

 

Yep.

 

"Consider it done, SC," says the person in my passenger seat.
