Nope, just found it interesting that he knew that there was a gay bar
across the street. I've been going to the Ocean Deck for yrs and I
never knew about it.
So since he brought it up, I researched it and found out that "The
Streamline Hotel", where Bill France came up with the idea of an
organized racing league, that would soon become Nascar, is now a gay
hotel.
I never would have guessed that!

Besides, he won't be there anyway. He'll be at the gay bar across the

Gee, considering I was following his career before he was even in the
Busch series I would hardly call that a bandwagon fan.
And, I'm also following Jeffrey Earnhardt's *right now*, so I guess if
he makes it to Cup I will be a bandwagon fan of his too.

Yes it brought out a yellow. He turned whoever it was and wrecked
them. I've already recorded over yesterdays race or I would tell you

My bad. On lap 214 JM ran right into the back of the 8 car but he
saved it. Then KK got into the 8 car a few laps later and he wasn't
able to save it bringing out the yellow.

Had it happened, it might well have been a good call. With new
tires, Earnhardt might have been able to pass enough cars that,
in 10 laps or so when the others pitted, he'd be in the lead
ahead of Busch & the other slow cars. Then when the rain came,
the other guys who pitted later wouldn't be able to pass him.
Eury Jr was playing the odds right, I think.

You're being overly generous to McMurray, there. Running into
the car ahead of you at full speed, when he hasn't made any
sudden change of lane, and there's no other cars around forcing
you onto a particular line, is pretty much inexcusable.

That's easy ....... if you make the assumption that they were oing to get
the full run in (before weather), AND that it would go green - pitting early

I had Junior on the Hot Pass channel and the stop wasn't a last minute
dealie...the idea was (like at a road course) pit early to get the gas they
*had* to have and have more laps (about 30 then) to make up ground on better
rubber. With a tad bit of luck, they might have caught a caution that would
let them leap-frog any cars that stopped then while they stayed out.
Junior had been taking a low line outta 4 all along and if Jamie had known
that, he mightta just missed Junior's hand signal.

Bingo. The stop was planned, and as you say, they intentionally were
coming in a tad early to try and possibly step up the 10th place or so
position they were in at the time. Sadly, I think they are suffering
the same fate as the 24 and 48 when they get stuck in traffic -
aero-push...Junior was fast out front, but couldn't do a lot behind
any other cars...So much for the end-all be-all of the new NASCAR CoT
in regards to "better racing".
Maybe that snippet at Jayskis on the possibility of unrestricted "open
testing" being a future possibility sheds some light on how "not
perfect" the CoT has turned out to be in NASCAR's own eyes of late.

>Junior had been taking a low line outta 4 all along and if Jamie had known

I think Junior was already finished signaling by mid T3-4, and was
just still a tad too far up the track when he got to Pit In. I still
say it was a basic old 'racin deal - just dumb luck for all involved.
Junior couldn't get on the flat, or he'd spin out (green flag pit
entries for ya) and apparently McMerry ($ to BP) was using the flat to
help his car rotate...They just came together on the track at the
worst possible time.

So, how you liking that HotPass deal Tom? I dig it. Lotsa info, and by
tuning to the "team radio" during commercials, you don't even have to
deal with extraneous audio from TNT or whomever.
I REALLY like having Phil Parsons as the HP pit reporter for Junior
most weeks. The (88 pit) guys talk to Phil as one of their own, so we
get some good stuff from his interviews and the racing insight he
brings just from being who he is/what he has done. I was worried after
the truck race was in Memphis that Phil and Rick Allen may not fly to
Loudon to be on Junior's broadcast team this weekend...and was very
happy to find out yesterday that they did. Rick and Phil seem to work
well together and I have no complaints on their in-depth coverage when
they appear as a team on HotPass.
Last week, just like both roadies last year, Junior wasn't one of the
HP drivers...I just tuned to the Super Channel and put the optional
audio feed on the 88 for the race...Well, started on the 88, listened
in on some others too, the 48, 28, and maybe the 9 some too, IIRC.
While that is OK for the weeks Junior isn't in the HP 4, it was much
easier to tolerate when Fox was in command of the national broadcast.
Ugh. Webber. 'Nuff said.

Bingo. The stop was planned, and as you say, they intentionally were
coming in a tad early to try and possibly step up the 10th place or so
position they were in at the time. Sadly, I think they are suffering
the same fate as the 24 and 48 when they get stuck in traffic -
aero-push...Junior was fast out front, but couldn't do a lot behind
any other cars...So much for the end-all be-all of the new NASCAR CoT
in regards to "better racing".
Maybe that snippet at Jayskis on the possibility of unrestricted "open
testing" being a future possibility sheds some light on how "not
perfect" the CoT has turned out to be in NASCAR's own eyes of late.

I think Junior was already finished signaling by mid T3-4, and was
just still a tad too far up the track when he got to Pit In. I still
say it was a basic old 'racin deal - just dumb luck for all involved.
Junior couldn't get on the flat, or he'd spin out (green flag pit
entries for ya) and apparently McMerry ($ to BP) was using the flat to
help his car rotate...They just came together on the track at the
worst possible time.

So, how you liking that HotPass deal Tom? I dig it. Lotsa info, and by
tuning to the "team radio" during commercials, you don't even have to
deal with extraneous audio from TNT or whomever.
I REALLY like having Phil Parsons as the HP pit reporter for Junior
most weeks. The (88 pit) guys talk to Phil as one of their own, so we
get some good stuff from his interviews and the racing insight he
brings just from being who he is/what he has done. I was worried after
the truck race was in Memphis that Phil and Rick Allen may not fly to
Loudon to be on Junior's broadcast team this weekend...and was very
happy to find out yesterday that they did. Rick and Phil seem to work
well together and I have no complaints on their in-depth coverage when
they appear as a team on HotPass.
Last week, just like both roadies last year, Junior wasn't one of the
HP drivers...I just tuned to the Super Channel and put the optional
audio feed on the 88 for the race...Well, started on the 88, listened
in on some others too, the 48, 28, and maybe the 9 some too, IIRC.

Yeppers..,it 's met all expectations..I've even switched to network audio a
couple time to get Kyle's perspective on sumpin and then quickly back before
Weber opened his yap! LOL Was disappointed they swapped Smoke for Edwards
yesterday, tho...oh, well.
I tossed this question at'cha earlier and don't remember seeing the
answer...
Another question when switching from one Hotpass channel to the other, do
you open 'List' and switch there or just use the 'Prev' channel button? I
used 'Prev' and wonder if that's why Junior's channel quit recording? I was
still able to make the switches back and forth live, but later discovered
only a partial recording for Junior.

He and Rick do a great job. I've been surprised how little chatter there is
on Junior's channel, mostly TJ calling 'door...bumper...clear' and hardly
ever doing lap times for the leader and Junior.
