The Great American Race is here once again.
Post your picks! Or if you hate Nascar, pic your favorite number or name, and I'll let you know how he did.
48 Jimmie Johnson 55 Michael Waltrip 88 Dale Earnhardt Jr. 11 Denny Hamlin 41 Reed Sorenson 20 Tony Stewart 12 Ryan Newman 24 Jeff Gordon 5 Casey Mears 9 Kasey Kahne 99 Carl Edwards 8 Mark Martin 43 Bobby Labonte 6 David Ragan 42 Juan Montoya 29 Kevin Harvick 87 Kenny Wallace 16 Greg Biffle 77 Sam Hornish Jr. 44 Dale Jarrett 15 Paul Menard 34 John Andretti 83 Brian Vickers 18 Kyle Busch 1 Martin Truex Jr. 7 Robby Gordon 66 Scott Riggs 17 Matt Kenseth 01 Regan Smith* 28 Travis Kvapil 07 Clint Bowyer 38 David Gilliland 70 Jeremy Mayfield 22 Dave Blaney 19 Elliott Sadler 31 Jeff Burton 96 J.J. Yeley 26 Jamie McMurray 45 Kyle Petty 40 Dario Franchitti 78 Joe Nemechek 00 David Reutimann 2 Kurt Busch
I'd like to see any of these drivers win though, starting with my favorites: Carl Edwards Reed Sorenson Jamie McMurray Juan Pablo Montoya Dario Franchitti Matt Kenseth Ryan Newman Kasey Kahne Robby Gordon Brian Vickers Greg Biffle Kyle Busch David Gilliland JJ Yeley
WHEN I WAS A LITTLE GIRL I WAS AT THE RACETRACK AND I HIT MY MOUTH REALLY HARD ON THE CORNER OF A DIRECTORS CHAIR AND KNOCKED MY TOOTH OUT. WE NEVER FOUND IT.
I excuse Anferee's passion for Nascar because his parents are rednecks so he had no choice. Anfernee also likes Indy racing, which softens the blow. Although, I'm not so sure he knows who Lewis Hamilton is, which is a shame.
P.S. Nobody cares about Ryan Newman. Hendrick Motorsports or get the fuck out.

kurt busch and kyle busch. Nice selections! You picked the 2nd and 4th place cars.

1) My parents are far from rednecks, my mom is very prim and proper and she was raised in a big house in Seattle, and my dad was raised in a small house in Milwaukee.
2)Yeah Indy Racing is awesome as well, I basically love all types of racing...which leads me to point 3..
3) Lewis Hamilton is amazing, he's actually what propelled me to even be interested in F1, I kept hearing about him, then sorta got into it. I didn't follow it too closely, but I do know McClaren got absolutely robbed, fuck Ferrari. I wanted Hamilton to win really bad, and if not him, than Alonso. Not that Rakkraken dude, I can't remember how to spell his name. Anyway, the point is, Hamilton getting 2nd in his rookie season and leading the points race for most of the year in the world's most prestigious league is downright amazing.
4) Grey, what do you think of all the open-wheel guys coming over to NASCAR? Obviously must be something to it. First it was Juan Pablo Montoya AJ Allmendinger then Sam Hornish Jr. now Dario Franchitti and lastly, Jacques Villenueve and Patrick Carpantie
This is only in 2 years! I'm really excited to see how Villenueve and Carpantie perform this year, if they can qualify that is...
And I wonder who's gonna win the Rookie of the year? I like Franchitti!

As for the race, the finish was downright AMAZING! So exciting, so many of my non fans of racing that watched were telling me they thought the end was super exciting. I hate Tony Stewart and Jeff Burton so I was super glad that neither of them win. When Tony chose the low side with Kyle Busch, he should have remembered back to last year where the situation was exactly the same and which side ended up winning? Kevin Harvick! That was the most amazing finish to a race, EVER. Watch the last 2 laps, it's about 1:30 long, and you will not BELIEVE who wins this race. The funny thing is the announcer basically calls him out and says "He's done" to the guy that goes on to win the race.
Also, the Jack Daniels car crosses the finish line in style. On his roof!

Man I just looked at this wikipedia link for the top 50 biggest American cities by population, and it has a picture of each one. Actually, it's pretty cool, cause I have no idea what about 45 of these looked like before now. Anyway, Fresno came in number 36 in the nation, but it has by far the most uninmpressive picture lol
Number 34 Atlanta:
Number 36 Fresno:
Number 43 Miami:
Wow, there are 15 cities with less population than Fresno that have major league teams, that's such bull...
No, you! By the way, I totally thought of you in real life the other day, because I saw someone eating chili cheese fries, and they weren't even fat. Or disgusting, either. Except for the part about eating chili cheese fries, that was a little bit disgusting.
what do i have to do to make my chili cheese fries not disgusting to you?
i use fries that are baked, not fried, and sometimes i use veggie/soy chili. i've been using fresh habanero peppers lately. cheese is ok, yes? i can use soy cheese if it makes you happy!
please love my chili cheese fries. yes, they are an extension of who i am.
Don't be too lazy to make your own. Trader Joe's is good, but Whole Foods will definitely have something better, if your budget-inclined self will do it. Anything with less than five ingredients on the label is OK. No high fructose corn syrup, trans fat, preservatives...I'm boring myself right now, plurry, but it's for your health, I promise.
