   Uno:

   Not Hendrick. Seriously, I have no idea. Childress, Gibbs, DEI, Evernham, Ginn, and so forth all seem to be taking interest, but who knows. Hendrick was full, which was true, we just didn’t expect the lineup to change.

   It won’t be Roush.

   Dos:

   I don’t know, really. I think I draw an interest in it, mainly because it could be something that trips a third domino in an undisclosed number of dominoes to fall.

   Tres:

   Well, duh. Budweiser doesn’t come in a red can either. Coke does, but Hendrick is a Pepsi kinda place.

   He can hop whatever # or sponsor he wants. The brand is Dale Junior, and it sells.

   I’d expect it to stay the same, but won’t be surprised if it isn’t.

   Mears to the 5 w/Kellogs, Juinor in the 8 with Bud. National Guard spread across a few cars, or dropped since they have to renegotiate year to year.

   Quatro:

   Gilliland.

   Tony isn’t the lord and master, and nobody has to bow to the Buddha Belly.

   Like Eddie Murphy said to Bill Cosby, “Have a Coke and a smile, and shut the f**k up.

   /aside

   Why does Charlie saying “go both ways” scare me?

   Hmmm, what’s the opposite of red?

   Blue maybe?

   Wouldn’t that put a thorn in the side of the “red” can and it’s “family”.

   Long association of the blue can and Hendrick. Maybe they’re looking to step it up a notch? Wow, I wonder what that would do to my stock value? he he he.

   Luke, you should be comfortable in your turning ability. Steve is.
   And now for this week’s lesson.

   un) With a name like Rowdy and an attitude like his, probably panced and upside down in the trash can in the women’s bathroom at the Thunder Lounge. Or at Ginns.

   deux) No, why? It’s Luke’s party. Seriously (sorta) he blew his best opportunity. He’ll either be perceived as the big shooter at a second level team or will be one of the drivers at a big team. I vote for the prior.

   trois) Three weeks ago, DW was sounding prophetic aspousing the theory that JR. would be sponsored by a shoe company. I still think that is a very good possibility. Boogity has bailed for the Pepsi/Mountain Dew option. I like it, but it shows no conviction on Jaw’s part.

   quatre) I watched the vid a few times. I listened to Kyle and Wally. The wreck was probably avoidable. Smoke was having a tantrum and some day, some one is going to clock him. A beard does not a fighter make.

   Luke, I just hope that Steve controls his word count ’cause I can’t count to 100 in France lingo.

   Ein) Rowdy burned his bridges at Roush long ago and his bro made sure the ashes blew away. My bet is he will end up someplace that needs to divert attention from bigger problems. Someplace like Ganassi. Don’t be surprised if you see ole Rowdy in one of them there Ganassi Toyotas in ’08.

   Zwei) Where Kyle ends up really matters to no one this side of Felix Sabates. Kellogg’s will probably be happy to get rid of his controversial self and move on to someone better suited to hawk their cornflakes instead of corn pone.

   Drei) I stick by my Mountain Dew prediction. Reading between the lines of DW’s statements, it seems a no brainer, for all the reasons I explain on “Bench Racing with Steve and Charlie”.

   Vier) Tony would whip Gilli’s butt from here to next Friday. Charlie never wants to answer the question as asked, so for Charlie’s sake, Gilli needs to realize that he is in the Cup series based solely on ONE, UNO, UN, EIN win in the Busch series. Gilli needs to know the pecking order and he is no where near the middle, much less the top. Win a race or two and let’s see where you fall M&M boy.

   Here’s some food for thought…

   Is it ever Flip-Flop’s fault?

   No, it’s always someone else and boo hoo poor Buddha Belly.

   Heh, I blogged the Kyle issue last week. Jack says Hell no, and that’s that.

   DEI? Maybe. They’ll need the attention, no matter the form as they rebrand into TEI, and try to keep it from becoming a museum.

   Evenham could probably whip his butt into shape. He certainly whipped Erin, although that should have been my job.

   Oh Steve, my unfortunate friend. Is David Gilliland, or for that matter, is every other driver on the track supposed to defer to His Smokeness? I watched the video replays of the incident. I listened to Kyle Petty excuse both drivers for tire wear discrepency differences. I read Ricky Rudd’s staunch defense of Gilligan in the NASCAR weekly interview and I heard Tony bitch. It seems to me that the Smokester is buckin’ for Rusty’s old reputation as the cheapest whine at the bar.
   I thought it also interesting that Kevin Harvick has come out and said that Bucky (I like Bucky better than Rowdy. He looks more like a Bucky) Bush is as welcome at RCR as herpes.

   Herpes, huh?

   I don’t care who ya are, that’s funny right there.

Got something to say?
