Goat Rodeo Graphic by John Bockelman
Stock Car Racing History
That was a fun project...started out as a black and white xerox of a snapshot enlarged from a picture my buddy Hoddie asked me to do something with. Hoddie was a pro rodeo cowboy for 13 years till he got hurt one time too many. I made it for him last year and I still had the graphic with 139 layers of color on it, and last night I went...hey, ya know what? This'd be a good Goat Rodeo graphic, too...so...BAA-AAA!!!
Hot Rod Elvis
General
I saw Elvis here in Houston the other night. He was in the parking lot at a K-Mart, climbing into a UFO...he said he was going to the beach...
How Many of You Believe the "Mutual" Part in Roger Penske's Kurt Busch Statement?
General
LOL toomuchcountry!
I am glad to see that it was presented to the media in a gracious (yet obviously staged) manner. Good luck and safe racing to all. JB

FROM THE MOUTH OF "WILD THING"
Stock Car Racing History
I don't see how they could keep him, regardless of who he is and how good he can drive. It sure looks like he's at the point of getting the heave-ho, if not from Mars, maybe from JGR or NASCAR if he so much as frowns at somebody. Nobody is inexpendable...I remember the Steelers shopped Big Ben around and didn't get an offer when his deal blew up. Rooney wanted to dump him outright but he was calmed down by team management He would have had to pay the rest of that guaranteed contract...anyway, Mars has more to consider than the driver's behavior...if the driver brings down their image, it damages a lot more than just the cars...my 2 cents! Thanks, JB
