Jen, did you think to listen to Frank Stoddard on WHEB this morning? Carl Edwards will be calling in at 9AM

From Jen: No. What's the number radio station?

100.3FM Boris and Frank will be at Freedom Cycles in Concord Thursday night around 5PM or so. I think they said it was on Manchester St.You need to get Boris to tell you the story about him, Dale Senior and the peanut butter and jelly sandwich.

While at Louden, find Jeffrey or Kerry Earnhardt and ask when we can expect to see Jeffrey in Nationwide.

Frank said this morning that they were very disappointed with the brake failure last weekend because their schedule for pit stops would have been identical to Kyle Busch's and they would have been right there at the end going for a win.

News about changes at HMS for next year-Mears is out of the #5-the car will be shared with Mark Martin and a rookie. Wonder who will be in the #8 at DEI?

Jen:

Get some pics of " Smoke " and new views of the apparent updates that Bruton has done to track. Like someone else asked, we need to hear about rumormill?

Thanks

Hello Jen,

First I have not forgotten about your NASCAR Pens. I did not make it to charlotte on my vacation but my brother has some for you on his table in charlotte and he has yet to mail them to me... as soon as i get them i will send them to you...

I will also be pulling into Loudon tomorrow with camera in hand. maybe i will see you in the garage area...

if you get a chance ask smoke if the rummors are true that he is leaving JGR...

Have a blast and bring some rain gear..... see you at the track.

From Jen: LOL about the NASCAR pens. Don't worry about that....you are too kind. I do hope to see you in the garage area. You have a great time also!

Jen, do not ask Tony about the rumors unless you want to tick him off. I would expect he is very sick of that question already. He will let us know when he's ready.

Am going to Smoke's appearance tomorrow, JT, and will be sure to get pictures.

Hi All: My first post here and this weekend will be my first big race! I married into the NASCAR culture 3 years ago and have fully embraced it and am really enjoying it. I've been particularly impressed by the generosity of the many driver foundations, especially the Greg Biffle & Ryan Newman Foundations, both of which benefit animal welfare and promote spaying & neutering. I hadn't seen this mentioned on the blog and wanted to make sure that everyone was aware of the NASCAR Foundation Track Walk happening after the Nationwide Race on Saturday. For a $30/$35 registration fee, you can walk a lap around the track to benefit the NASCAR Foundation & Speedway Children's Charities AND, hopefully, meet your favorite driver(s) too! Go to www.nascar.com/foundation for details. My husband & I will be there as Team NASCATS (we do cat rescue) and would love to meet and walk with other Maine fans. You can see pictures of our cats in their NASCAR gear on our Track Walk page at http://foundation.nascar.com/NetCommunity/Page.aspx?pid=741&srcid=841&erid=1843948&frsid=3168

Since I won't be to the track until September please give my regards to Smoke. Tell him the Stewies are pulling for him to win.
