Dang legend, sounds like you're trying to make everyone in Nascar bankrupt!
Ya'll are gonna think I'm lying, but I got a 100%, 48 out of 48. I guess it helps when I have an encyclopedia of all american 1950's cars that I got last year, but I didn't use on this...I'm just good! lol
This reminds me...I heard just the other day that when he was driving for Joe Gibbs, he wouldn't let Tony drive in other series like dirt, etc in fear that he might get injured and not be able to run the 20 car in the cup series. So Tony would use an old trick and just use a fake name. Which could include 'Smokey Jones', 'Smoke Johnson' and one was a real sounding name, it was something like 'Micheal Fernando Jr.' or something like that, and I've heard that he still uses those names just for kicks sometimes.

Thanks...that was aloooong time ago!
This was Kurt, with the Shell/Pennzoil sponsorship....but I guess you can't tell the difference until they're in their cars. And for a few months, I thought the Kurt had matured. But between this and the one with Jamie Little at New Hampshire has suddenly changed my mind.
That'd get me some attention!
This has been one of the few races, that I was excited about since the checkered flag fell atPhoenix. Going into the race, Carl and Tony were my two top favorites with Tony edging Carl, just barely on my list. So atleast I knew that who ever won, I would be happy, and whichever loses, I'll be alright with that too.
I knew that Carl would have the edge, being that he won on this configuration both last year, and some other time, (seems like it was either 05' or 08') while Tony won there in 1999, and 2000 on the old, flat surface. And I knew Carl would have a good day, 2nd in first practice, and grabbing the pole, while Tony was 28th in first practice and qualified 15th. Now I wasn't glued for the first 50-70 laps or so, so I didn't see when they fixed the front end, but I knew that he was in 40th, 45 points behind the race leader, Carl. But, I mean, wow, he was just flying out there working his way up.
Fast Forward to the last 40 or so laps. Tony was leading, Carl just trying to get to him. Anyway, I was real happy to see him win, I've liked Tony since 04' and never looked back. I've liked Carl since he came along and won his first cup race in Atlanta in 05'. But this is exactly what I wanted....racing for a championship, and down to the last couple of laps. It was just a free for all. The last few years, all JJ has had to do was to just ride around and finish above the 20's or 30's, but this was just all out.
I have really slowed down collectingmemorabilia because I have so much already, but I think I may have to save for a Championship diecast!!!
