 I still don't have the SPEED channel and therefore won't be able to watch the NASCAR All-Star event. Yes, I know it's shameful and sad but for as many reasons that I have to justify the cost of having the channel I really don't want to pay all that extra dough to move up to the channel plan I would need just to get one extra channel. I say bring on a la carte pricing! Anyway, as soon as I move I'll be sure to get DirecTV and I can avoid using those price gougers at Comcast. So, yeah no All-Star festivities for me this weekend but I did vote for the drivers I want to see in the All-Star race on Sunday night. The All-Star Fan Vote has been going on since April and you have until this Saturday at 7pm to submit your vote. You can do it online by going to NASCAR.com or by texting the word "NASCAR" to 7777 on your Sprint phone. I highly recommend voting for Travis Kvapil, David Gilliland, Kasey Kahne, Michael Waltrip or J.J. Yeley. Since these guys are amongst the drivers that don't have a spot locked in, they'll have to either race their way in from the Sprint Showdown or be voted in by the Fan Vote. In other All-Star news... -- Dale Jarrett will be at Lowe's Motor Speedway for the last All-Star race of his career. They're making the occasion extra special by introducing Dale last during driver introductions and instead of sitting in the back of a Toyota Tundra, like the other drivers, to wave to the fans around the track he'll be driving (finally!) the UPS Big Brown Truck. Sounds like it'll be a really cool send off. -- The first ever NASCAR Day telethon is set for tomorrow at the Sam Bass Gallery in Concord, North Carolina. Various Sprint Cup drivers including Casey Mears and Brian Vickers will be on hand to field calls for donations. Call 1-888-MAY16TH (1-888-629-1684). SIRIUS Satellite Radio will be broadcasting from the telethon all day starting at 7 a.m. and SPEED will be cutting in and out throughout the day as well. -- On Sunday the rear panel for Carl Edwards' No. 99 Office Depot Ford will carry a super cool message from the winner of the Harlequin & Office Depot "Say Yes to a Winning Proposal" contest. I'm soooo excited to find out who the lucky couple is and I hope someone produces some kick butt reaction photos of the soon-to-be bride. They're unveiling the winning proposal tomorrow, so I'll see what I can see, but be on the lookout for Carl's car on Saturday. -- Tony Stewart and Greg Biffle spent some quality time together this week while helping to build a KaBOOM! playground (in one day!) for Elon Homes for Children in Charlotte. Think they talked about swapping rides next year??  |
