Where there's Smoke there's ....
Wow! If his FB squad would just rip off such a streak, Coach Gibbs would be smiling all the time. Like him or not, Tony Stewart, a.k.a. "Smoke", is red hot, errr make that orange hot. Stewart has won three of four races - Sonoma, Daytona and New Hampshire in recent weeks, advancing from 10th in points to second! Nineteen races into 2005, Stewart was second in bonus points earned with a total of 75. Leading all Nextel Cup drivers in bonus points earned was Greg Biffle with 80.
The 2002 NASCAR champion and 1999 Rookie of the Year, Smoke has established himself as a dominant wheel man. Out of the open wheel ranks of the Midwest, Stewart can spread the smiles all around Joe Gibbs Racing when he keeps on turning left. Like him or not ~ he is for real!

Where's Krista Voda?
Second Straight Top Five for DJ
Jumping into the Top 10, Jarrett joins Yates teammate Elliott Sadler after smart racing strategies at Infineon Raceway and Daytona International Speedway. Chicago, N. H., and Pocono are next as the 1999 NASCAR champion and three time Daytona 500 winner ('93, '96, and 2000) approaches The Chase.
Congrats to Tony Stewart, Jamie McMurray, Dale Earnhardt Jr., and Rusty Wallace for an exciting finish of "the late, late show" (a.k.a. the Pepsi 400). Also I tip my hat to Ken Schrader, Jeff Burton, and Mark Martin.

Of interest: Danica Patrick sat on the IRL pole at Kansas and fought back to another Top 10. Lance Armstrong is on another quest... you can do it!

Well, I suffered a week now without the real "Nascar Nation" TV Show on Speed. I miss the professionalism of Krista Voda and friends. Anybody know "What in the world were they thinking?" when they imported the "MTV" cheesers? More on this later after m blood quits boiling! - g

Here's a new Blog for my passion of following NASCAR. I'd talk racing every day... to any one who'll listen. My forever hero is the Gentleman Champion in the U.P.S. Yates 88 Ford Taurus. Dale Jarrett is one classy person, tireless competitor, great teammate, and All-American role model. Look at his roots [Ned is another Southern gentleman]. Look at his family life. Look at their commitment to help others [Yeah for KOMEN!]
