I dunno, but my wife :princess and family gave me a ten-lap "driving school" at TWS the weekend after the race :clap

Hell, I'll pick Mark Martin for old times' sake (and for old-timers' sake).

Stewart will be hard to pick against. He is running well as are the 8, 48 and 24.

I am going to go out on a limb and pick Junior.

Be there Thursday-Monday! My heart says JR, but Biffle and Sadler are always fast there. I also always hold hope for Bobby Labonte at Texas, you just never know.

I'm picking Sadler for this week. He is way hungry. And, he looked pretty good yesterday, what I saw of the race. Jr looked a lot better, too. Of course, Kasey was looking pretty good until he had engine problems that sent him to the garage.


Is anyone going?

I'm actually house/dog sitting from Friday through Monday so my brother can go! I'll be watching the race, though!

Have fun, Dawn, you lucky thing! The couple my brother will be driving to Ft Worth with root for the Labontes - she likes Terry and he likes Bobby.

Carl is due for a win, and the Roush cars do well at cookie cutter tracks!

Wish me luck on driver interviews. I will be down in the garage area most of the weekend, but the coolest part of this was i was planning on sitting in turn 4 where I normally sit on Sunday, but after we interviewed Roger Staubach the other day he told me he'd see us up there. I did not think much about it, but next thing I know his Assistant is emailing me telling me UPS will be bringing tickets for the Texas Instruments Suite today and she will call me on Friday from the track to " SEE WHAT KIND OF TROUBLE WE CAN GET INTO!" They were super sweet on New Years day when he had Duel and myself up in his suite at Texas Stadium, so I can't wait.

Also if you can make sure to listen on Sunday before the race to KTSA for our Pre-Race Show. Sorry for the Cheap Plug!!! :)

A Jeff Burton win would not surprise me. He has been doing good so far.

Terry is not racing in this one, Tony Raines is. Terry will race the road course races I believe for Hall of Fame Racing and then race I believe 6 more races with Hendrick Motor Sports and his final race will be in November at TMS!

Yes, that's what I understood, too. I hope they do something special for him at TMS in Nov, he deserves it.

Yes, he does. He also looks like half the males at the family reunions I used to go to in Alabama when I was a kid. I have wondered more than once if he is kin to me. Very strange feeling.

Was told by TMS Press release that Terry was only racing the Nov race. They have added races though to his schedule, so this may have been one of those Hendrick ones added in.
