and Sloppy Joe takes the win!
RANDOM TIDBITS FROM THE WORLD OF NASCAR
**Rumors are flying that Happy Harvick has asked to be released from his RCR ride at the end of the year so he can take Shell with him to SHR. BAH! It makes sense with Harvick having both Newman and Smoke in his NW rides this year. I still don't like it...precisely because I do like Harvick (and Newman...sigh).
**More on beloved Smoke -- as reported by Jay Hart over at Yahoo! Sports apparently after his (in)famous Sonoma media appearance, Smoke called the assembled media "douchebags" under his breathe as he left. And yet, I thought there was at least ONE novel question that day. More evidence as to why I just don't like him...
**Yesterday on Twitter Kenny Wallace let it fly that NASCAR was making the media call the double-file restarts "Shootout Style". Since, there has been some "clarification" on twitter by others tied into the powers that be saying NASCAR has preferences..."free pass" instead of "lucky dog" but no mandate. I just don't get this. I can understand NASCAR mandating what not to say but having such influence over the broadcasts might explain a lot. More WWF tactics controlling the product when it just should sell itself!
KURT IN CHI-TOWN
**In case you missed TNT's prerace show, Kurt was featured in his favorite Windy City spots. You've GOT to tune in to see him and Marty Snider dancing at the hot dawg restaurant...Oh my!
http://www.nascar.com/video/cup/2009/07/11/cup.chi.snider.busch.nascar/index.html
**Kurt hasn't yet made it to Frothy's but when he comes, he'll bring free beer!
http://www.suburbanchicagonews.com/heraldnews/video/index.html?pid=ceddyUfGd8EIEyAZZAnEk9__sMaMGNQt
**Kurt also raced in the Mobil One Smart Car Challenge along with teammates Sam Hornish, Jr. and David Stremme. Of course the drivers beat the pants off their respective challengers from the media on the miniature road course that involved zippy parallel parking at the end. Who won? Sam Hornish of course!
AND FINALLY
Now that the bulk of NASCAR bloggers from Foxsports.com have migrated to Blogspot, is there any interest in creating a "master blog" with all of us as authors as a central place to chat and promote our individual blogs? If so, we need a gmail account to register it under and a blog title...
Let me know if you are interested AND your suggestions for name.
Example of this type of blog can be found on HotfootLori's blog -http://hotfootlori.blogspot.com/- she belongs to the "Alabama Bloggers"
I'm all for a group blog.
ReplyDeleteTony trash talking the media???? Naaahhhh ;o).
Katie wants to know if she should send Kurt a bottle of Midol for his car. He reported that the car was having "mood swings" at Daytona(or at least RaceBuddy said that's what he said).
The next chapter of the Maltese Lug Nut is up.
Any ideas on the blog name SB?
ReplyDeleteMidol could help, sometimes that Blue Deuce has a mind and mood all its own! Maybe I should have a "session" with it too...
Saw it! Loved it!
Im ok with the group blog kl.
ReplyDeleteNascar telling the media what to say ? Is that like when Obama told Republicans to ignore Rush Limbaugh ?
Talk about a frieght train ..choo ..choo ..choo ..wait till they force us to buy their health insurance, cap our trade and immigrate us.
This is a double file restart shootout style as the Fed is going to ram the train right down our throats. I will stop now.
RL
Blog name- FOX Expatriates
ReplyDeleteRL -- ok that makes two of you. Well there is always Canada eh? I think we are going to have to make a drinking game out of "shootout style" soon...
ReplyDeleteSB -- I *knew* you would come up with a Fox spin...I'll take all suggestions and put it to a vote! I still need to put my thinking cap on and come up with something
Nice news and bits Kristen. I would LOVE to see footage of the Penske guys racing Smart cars!! I think that would be hilarious to watch.
ReplyDeleteI am all for a group blog. Maybe we could make a GGW Racing blog, if F2 doesn't mind us stealing that name.
Actually, you could condense it down and call it "FOXpatriates"
ReplyDelete(That way it could be open to other FOX bloggers who don't necessarily blog about NASCAR- like B@O, et al)
Hey Stork -- I am trying to get some video of it from the PR folks, it was raining unfortunately but they were sliding all over!
ReplyDeleteName suggestion noted!
SB -- Name noted! Good idea to include the non nascar bloggers if they want to be...
Where is everyone?!?!?!
Nice post Kris.
ReplyDeleteWhat's the story on Keselowski to the #12 Penske car?
Mayfield failed NASCAR's latest test.
"Outfoxed Bloggers"
Kristen, I'd have NO problem with Harvick going to SHR. I'd follow him there. That would be not only a very good move, but a very logistical one. Imagine Happy with Hendrick ponies under the hood!
ReplyDeleteI like the idea of a master blog. I like the Beagle's suggestion: FOXpatriates. I have another gmail account. Email me and let's see how we can work out the logistics.
I'd have LOVED to see the Penske drivers in that Smart Car race!

ReplyDeleteAfter the Fox...
ReplyDeleteFox hunting has been banned in much of England, despite it's social & historical favor with the royalty.
Gene -- Nothing on Brad to the 12, if anyone goes to the 12 it will be Justin. Esp since Justin is already doing the commercials!
ReplyDeleteJeremy news was hitting right after I posted...too lazy to add a paragraph! I do love the white trash element now...step mom who shot his dad?!?! WTF? This is going so Jerry Springer.
Name noted...some good ones!
Hey Jon -- cool I will email you about the set up and we can figure out the logistics at least.
ReplyDeleteI am working on footage of the smart car racing!
CR -- Are you using Ad Sense on your blog? You really should be cuz you could be making bank with all your sponsor pimping! LOL
ReplyDeleteohh. Kinda like After the Fox or even FOX Hunting...
I also saw Kurt & crew Chief on PassTime (SPEED channel) yesterday afternoon (not sure when it was filmed)
ReplyDeleteOUTfoxxed Bloggers (like outsourced?) -we should probably be careful how we use "FOX"?

OUTfoxxed OUTpost has a ring to it too?

ReplyDeleteOOPS looks like we can't use OUTfoxxed
If we do use the word foxx best use 2 x's?
love the no edit feature gets you lots of comments. and who invents the security words?

ReplyDeleteThe joint blog could be a great place to post the "joint" blogs we all participate in, esp. race day chats, trifectas (if we can get WW over here EVEN better!) and the GGW racing blogs since we would all be in the same place anyway...
ReplyDeleteI thought you would quite like the one on horses. wish I could have posted it here.
ReplyDeleteHounds chase foxes.......use the photo of the hound with the fox and call it the HoundHouse
I'm just spitballin' here
I do think it is a good idea and link with the other lost bloggers sites
And of course, you already have a resident hound :o)

ReplyDeleteBTW-
ReplyDeleteThere's also a group of us getting together on Facebook. A lot of the FOX NASCAR and non-NASCAR bloggers are there.
(If anyone wants to link with me, search for Katie Scarlett O'Beagle.)
SB...
ReplyDeleteYea, Kristen kind of chickened out with that one! lol
Bloghounds??????
ReplyDeleteOk I can tell the juices are flowing for a couple of you in the naming department! LOL
ReplyDeleteThanks for advertising the Facebook option SB - I just cant do Facebook -- too many clients on there can find me too easily and get to too much personal stuff but good for others to know about for sure.
CR/SB -- FUNNY! He already hates me...
Here I am thinking I am all spiffy and all I did was come up with what Gene already suggested!
ReplyDeleteOutfoxed Bloggers
Outfoxed Sports Bloggers
Outfoxed Blogging
Outfoxed Bloghounds
Are all available blog titles/addresses...any favs?
Katie wishes to point out that hounds are never outfoxed.
ReplyDelete(Don't you have a puppy or a kitty that you could hide behind on Facebook?)
Klvalus,, I thought the same thing as you but will it let more then one person blog at the same time and be sign in to the account or will we need to have time shares on when we can use the kitchen and not the bedroom cause Hanany and Moseby will be tying that room up.lol??
ReplyDeleteYesterday I started fiddeling with doing a web site like are mad jokerswild did. The name is going to be Foxville Sports Blogs. I am trying to figure out if the free account web site will hold all the blogs? I will get back to you all on this as well.
I like FOXVILLE SPORTS BLOGS and yes a logo to go with it.
Cheers2You
SB - Duly noted!
ReplyDeleteF2 -- I sent you an email -- just easier that way...if you have already looked into this we can combine efforts!
Klvalus: Have you noticed that Lee Spencer seems to be hogging all the articles written on NASCA FOX? That is all I can seem to get there.
ReplyDeleteA central NASCAR blog would be great. Might have to set up our own server though which would not be too hard to do if some one was good at working a server network. Knew a couple guys that set up one for photography a few years back that was international with over a thousand posters on the site. Bill Gates where are you??
Photo -- She is the only one left writing there b/c the "TV talent" is mostly ghost written anyway and since they arent on the air, they dont do articles as much.
ReplyDeleteJmayer is likely heading our way...he said some FOX baseball writer called out a blogger on the bloggers blog...sounds like some folks are getting threatened!
Hubby could do a server but I dont think we need it...we can do multiple authors on blogspot blogs so we will try to set something up here before we go international!!
Well keep me posted. I am game. That is one thing we will have to police in the NASCAR blogs. I am getting too old to go around bashing trolls.
ReplyDeleteI haven't nearly got my brain in gear for naming, but I'd come on board for a group blog.
ReplyDeleteAndy Moda, a.k.a. jbroomy, a.k.a. James, a.k.a. I-have-far-too-many-aliases
I'd do a group blog. I've just been busy lately with things.
ReplyDeleteCool broomy found us!! =)
ReplyDeleteGotcha Iowa!
Ok, either Jon and I will get a post up or Forensic and I will and will get in touch with everyone!!
I'm all about togetherness! Wouldn't want to leave behind anyone on Fox for not being a NASCAR blogger. Would we get sent to the principal's office if the blog wasn't about sports, like when Rev did the non-sports "What Male Actor Role Model....." ? lol
ReplyDeleteYea, you can't hide from me.
ReplyDeleteI'm in the process of setting up my own blog, bringing together all the other gubbins I churn out around the internet.
so how do I get past the guard?
ReplyDeleteSorry K, just now getting around to this. Isn't Kenny just a hoot to follow on Twitter? So glad you are on there now. Totally EPIC.
ReplyDeleteBroomy -- get in touch with me with your email so I can invite you to the group blog!!!
ReplyDeleteYee -- You are in now right??!
Lori -- Thanks for bothering to go back and read! Kenny is freakin hilarious on Twitter and now that Harvick is getting on there I bet he'll be a hoot too. Girl, YOU are EPIC!
