Is America’s Player Eric in trouble or has the houseguests finally woken
2007-08-07 03:46:00
Before I get to the happenings in the house since Nick was evicted on last Thursday Night, I am really pissed off with some people outside of the Big Brother house, have we gotten to the point that someone who is some obsessed with this game would go through the lengths to hire a pilot to fly a plane with a banner over the Big Brother House in hopes of changing the results of a realty show, why? I can understand the we love Nick part, but damn, naming Amber and Eric as liars, this would be classified as a get a life thing or get help, it’s a game, its realty show, give me a break… what a people thinking.(Credit: Big Brother USA)Now with that said, It’s week 5 in the Big Brother house and by now, big brother fans know that after Thursday night’s HoH competition, Daniele is the new Head of Household, after Daniele made a deal with Kail not to evict her this week.

Big Brother 8: My Take on the first 34 days.
2007-08-03 10:52:00
What can you say about this season of Big Brother so far, BB has yet again come up with such an unusual set of houseguests to compete for the $500,000 prize even after taxes that money?Big B rother has always had a couple of twists and this season is no different with six houseguests knowing each other and America?s Player. So far from what I have seen is a once formed alliance in the first day between Kail, Mike, Zach and Nick called the Mrs. Robinson alliance now gone, that was fast, Nick basically told any girl in the house that would listen and Daniele to just save himself. I have to say that the only big this Kail did wrong by forming this alliance was she went in with three guys that just couldn't live up to there end. Now both Mike and Nick has been evicted, Kail is on the block regularly now and Zach is hated by most.One big thing has been a couple of planes flying banners trying to tell houseguests something, who knows who sent them, two in two days.In terms of standouts, D...

What? Tony Stewart fined for saying "Bull S***" during post-race interview
2007-07-31 23:05:00
I'm speechless, are you kidding me, two days ago Tony Stewart was on top of the world at Indianapolis after he won this second Brickyard 400 and during the post-race interview (picture on the right by Motorsport.com) that took place at the start/finish line just before climbing the fence under the flag stand and during that interview, he made a comment that included the words "bull s***".A couple of years ago Dale Jr. won at Talladega and during his post-race interview on NBC, he said in the same context "S***", he was fined $10,000 and docked 25 driver/owner points. Fast Forward to Sonoma last month, on the first lap going into turn 11, Kyle Petty was doing a in-car race announcer and he was involved in an accident and TNT put up his in-car audio during an instant replay and he said "What the f*** was that!" and while I agree he shouldn't have been no penalty, TNT should have, but no penalty. Now we come to the present, last weekend at Indy, Stewart says "Thanks to all my fans fo...

2007-07-29 05:17:00
Short track racing at its finest and its Indy, I have always enjoyed watching both the Truck Series and the Busch Series race at Indianapolis Raceway Park, what a hard track to pass on, they say that there's at least two groves, but unlike most short tracks, the fastest way around here is on top, but not on this night as a couple of drivers found the best way to pass was on the bottom. I would have thought that finally this night would have belong to Aric Almirola as he started on pole and dominated early on, but once he was mirrored back in traffic, he just couldn't go no where and that gave Biffle the lead.One thing that caught every one's attention was during the second set of pit stops when during Hornaday's pit stop, the front tire carrier was hit sending him to the ground and the tire flying on to the car that hit him, what a scary hit, the result were a broken toe, glad to see he's OK.Leffler, who was on 50 lap fresher tires at the end of the race battled and in most cas...

Just can?t let these two races go ? ALMS in Mid-Ohio and Formula 1 in Germa
2007-07-26 23:27:00
Despite the fact that there was no big NASCAR race, there was still some good interesting racing on television, you just have to know where to look. Taking into account that the Champ cars, NHRA and Grand-American Road Racing Series were in action, two races poped up at me from this past weekends racing namely the American LeMan?s Series in Mid-Ohio and the Formula 1 Grand Prix at the Nurburgring in Germany with the never-ending battle for victory now between Ferrari and McLaren (Pictured on the right... Image Credit: Motorsport.com), this time, winner... McLaren.ALMS:Looking back at Mid-Ohio, Saturday?s Taped Delayed race for the ALMS was an interesting one and not for the Penske racing Porsche RS Spyder (LMP2) yet again beating up on the Audi TDI?s and winning another one nor the seeing a Corvette win in the GT1 class keeping in mind that there are only two Corvette?s arcing in this class against no one, but it was in the GT2-class and this beating of sorts between two Ferrari F43...

Let the NASCAR shake up begin going into Indianapolis ? Part Two
2007-07-25 22:01:00
Last week, I had wrote a piece with theme being sponsorship that included a couple of bits of news including a restructuring plan by Ginn Racing due to lack of sponsorship and the possible merger of DEI and Ginn Racing. Now I thought that the DEI merger with Ginn Racing was a long strengh, but know, however earlier today, Dale Earnhardt Inc. along with Ginn Racing announced the merger of there two companies (it?s a buy out?) creating one (in there eye?s?) a stronger company with four cup teams including the driving duties of Mark Martin.So what does this mean? effective immediately DEI is a now four car team going into the AllState 400 at the Brickyard with Paul Menard having a guarrented starting spot in the race and Regan Smith going from having a full-time Cup ride to driving in the Truck Series with a future unknown. Here?s the rest?DEI with have a four car team with the #01 Army Chevy driven by Mark Martin/Aric Almirola, #1 Bass Pro Shop Chevy driven by Martin Truex Jr., the #8...

Big Brother 8: Bye Joe, hello new HOH Dick?
2007-07-20 20:10:00
It?s Friday Afternoon and what a night last night for Big Brother on there live eviction show, the fans got exactly what they wanted, Joe has been the second evicted from the big Brother house, but I have to say after watching the live feed one night, one could have thought the with Kail trying to get Dick (Evil) evicted instead that that might happen, but there was really to much pull to get Joe out of the house and what a vote, 9-1 to evict Joe with kail being the sole vote against Dick.I had read earlier in the day that CBS was going to have the voting live and they did, I like doing it that was better, it really gives the fans some insight into whats going on and the fans know who?s going home before the houseguests do, get gob CBS and Big B rother, keep that.One thing to note during last nights live eviction, BB told Joe that Eric was America?s Player and that he really did crawl into bed with him? that tells me that this years BB will not have a America?s Choice of an evicted h...

American Chopper: Preview of Season 5 with OCC E85 Chopper
2007-07-19 22:53:00
(Credit: Autoblog Posting and Gallery)I had first say a photo of this chopper a couple weeks ago when the IRL rolled into Iowa for there first race at the Iowa Speedway that was designed by Rusty Wallace. I had heard Paul Jr. say that this was the first E85 chopper they built, but I remember back to the Liberty Bike, that bike was to be an alternative fuels namely E85 or just Ethonal too. The company that was building the carb was to be built it to run on gasoline and Ethonal... I don't remember if they did or not.Looking ahead to season 5, this OCC E85 chopper is to be one of the episodes on the list towards the end of the year, not a bad look, as always I will be interested in seeing the this one just like everyone researched, designed and built, not to mention unvealed.

Let the NASCAR shake up begin going into Indianapolis for the 400 at the Br
2007-07-19 01:51:00
What a shakeup, racing in NASCAR is more than just having the talent to drive a racecar, its has to do with having a team owner believing in you and having the best equipment and people behind you and all that has to do with backing, backing from a sponsor. Sponsors just about pay for everything and if you have no sponsor you may find yourself on the outside looking in, that is currently the case for two drivers after Ginn Racing announced there 2007 restructuring plan due to lack of sponsorship, we know something on this was coming.Ginn Racing has just signed Aric Almirola to share the driving duties in the #01 with Mark Martin effective immediately and his first Cup ride is at Watkins Glen. Almirola will also have to finish his part-time Busch schedule with Gibbs racing. All this in turn moves Regan Smith over to the #14 ride giving Smith a full-time Cup ride starting at Indianapolis . With all of this shakeup, two drivers namely Marlin and Nemechek were released and now looking fo...

Lap cars ruin possible duel in final laps of Firestone Indy 200 at Nashvill
2007-07-15 21:38:00
After being rained out last night at Nashville, the IRL postponed the show on the Nashville SuperSpeedway until earlier this afternoon. Even with rain threatening, the Firestone Indy 200 went off as scheduled. What a pain in the neck racetrack for these Indy Cars to race on, there?s really only 1 to 1.5 groves on this track and no room to make passes at all, believe when I say I was surprised to see Scott Dixon as one of the only cars that could pass all day long and most of them were three wide down the front or backstraight.Not to take anything away from the winner Scott Dixon of this race, but the bigger issue of this one was during the final laps of this race, oh, the entire race, there could have been a duel between at least three to five cars for the victory if the lap traffic wasn?t there. Think about it, how many times in past IRL races has this happened, too many.To me, the IRL needs to add of all things a NASCAR rule being with 10 laps to go, all of the one or more lap dow...

Big Brother 8's first exiction and a new HOH.
2007-07-13 21:14:00
Last night was a night that some know exactly what was going to happen in terms of who was going home. In watching the feed the last couple of days (namely the Sho Too feed), it was getting clearer that Carol was going home, but even I didn't predict that that marge of votes. so lets make it clear, Carol was the first one evicted from the Big Brother house last night by a vote of 10-1. So who was the long person who wanted Carol to stay including the fact the America's Player voted to evict Carol... according to one site, it was Jen.Personally I voted to evict Amber, she's the stronger player of the two, but I did hear a couple things about Carol not keeping her story straight.. well whats done is done and the question is, who's next.Specking of Jen, believe it or not she is the new HOH and I would say that most of the house has been put on notice. I have no idea if Jen is even in a alliance with anyone, however according to the feed, there are two alliances out there, one being...

What about TNT?s Wide Open Coverage for the Pepsi 400 at Daytona?
2007-07-12 10:26:00
So really, what about it, was it a big hit little some say or did it just turn the race to junk like others have said?Well, looking at just the race coverage itself without the on-screen commercials differently had its advantages as it was explained with Jeff Gordon before the race started, putting the running order at the bottom with a couple of ads/logos was a better than just the standard look, the screen wasn?t over lapped by graphics and you could see the cars always in frame correctly compared to a lot of time when the cameras focused in a car, it would run in to the graphics up top, so a better layout in general.. All coverages should consider doing that either with the running order on top or below.As for the overall concept, the 3 full commercials per hour and the rest of the commercials on-screen is a little different than ESPN?s side-by-side coverage they use for most of there IRL races and that the TNT concept wasn?t bad most of the time with being able to still watch th...

Big Brother 8 ? Leading up to the first eviction and choose your live feed.
2007-07-11 06:07:00
What an interesting episode, to many it does prove that you can't judge a book by it's cover or in the case of two houseguests, you can't judge someone by how they look, case in point, Dick and Joe, they are different from how they come of when you first meet them with how they look. Remember that one...Looking at Thursday nights eviction, the nominations are Carol and Amber that were put up by the current HOH Kail. Now we know that Daniele won the Power of Veto and choose not to use it, so the nominations stand. In terms of who?s evicted first, I really don?t see Amber being evicted (this week), she has too many friends rightnow, but things change quickly.This America?s Player is interesting? did he complete the first task? And the drama award goes to America's Player Eric for his completely non-truth childhood story that he told to America's pick Kail. What's Next, Believe it or not, the next task is who to vote out - Amber or Carol?Two houseguests I would like to see gone a...

Two minute thrill ride from Daytona to Watkins Glen and Bristol.

You would never really think of a thrill ride though an average weekend in Motorsport, but that?s just what we have here which includes NASCAR in Daytona, IRL in Watkins Glen and the NHRA filling in there makeup date in Bristol from a month ago.UPS:The top honors goes to John Force and John Force racing from Bristol, John Foce finally broke though the slum season that they have had so far and not only won rounds, but picked up his first victory of the season over Crez Petrogon. What perfect way to go even after Ashley DQ?ed and Hight lost in the first round.DOWNS:This down honor goes to the IRL that raced in Watkins Glen and it?s not for the race that was won by Scott Dixon again, but rather for the pit road incident between Sam Hornish Sr. and Jr. and Tony Kanaan which gained a lot of news on several news programs and blogs with the headline at Autoblog reading ?My dad can beat up your IRL driver?.Basically after an on track contact between Hornish and Kanaan that was a racing deal...

The Frontdoor - Welcome to Big Brother 8 everyone.Welcome to yet another season of Big Brother, I have been watching this series since somewhere around the middle of season 2 and every year they seem to surprise me. The show started basically how it starts in years past, one secret after another being slowly revealed. Eleven houseguests enter with three houseguests sitting upstairs out of sight and soon everyone is revealed with drama that you couldn?t script.Before I get to this one, what a house and one of the houseguests said it the best, its alice in wonderland theme, small doors, mushrooms, the décor, damn interesting look.For this year?s first story line or theme, it pegs on six houseguests, sharing the house with what is in most cases your enemy, I had first heard about this last week on one of the BB sites, its normal, but what a relationship between each one.So you have Dick and Daniele which are Father/Daughter that have no spoken in over two years and the reveal was quiet...

Taking in NASCAR in New England last Saturday at NHIS
2007-07-04 19:56:00
What a day last Saturday at New Hampshire International Speedway, taking in what is referred to as the NASCAR experience. Going twice a year to New Hampshire for NASCAR is just what a vacation should be, a day long trip up and back for a couple of hours to watch the Modifieds and the Busch Series live in action.I have to say driving up was a lot better on Saturday than once thought it would be and so was parking. This time around we got there somewhat early and grabbed a parking spot down by the entrance which means that we would have to walk what I would say a good mile just to get the tickets and then a good mile down in back for collectibles and we all now that?s one hot items after another.Finally one can rest and just in time for the Nextel Cup Series Final Practice (11:30am) and with scanner in hand, that?s fun. I mostly listened to Dale Jr?s radio and boy he wasn?t happy with his car during that practice session, it just kept going tighter and tighter in the corners.Specking ...

2007-06-30 00:56:00
Congratulations to Dave Blaney!Perfect, Dave Blaney scores Toyota 's first Nextel Cup Bud Pole on Friday afternoon in Loudon for Sunday's 300 miler while post-qualifying inspection revealed that Brian Vickers COT car was an 1/8th of an inch too low in left front and since he is a go or go homer, his time was disallowed and he will go home. The next in line is Chad Chaffin and he will race on Sunday instead.A couple of notables from New Hampshire includes Dale Earnhardt Jr starting in 6th, Jimmie Johnson in 10th, Jeff Gordon in 8th, all three with fill-in crew chiefs and on the flip-side, Michael Waltrip, Dale Jarrett and Kenny Wallace don't qualify and will go home.While were on the subject of NASCAR in New Hampshire, NASCAR dropping the hammer down sort of speck on some Nextel Cup and Craftsmen Truck Series Drivers and Teams and the talk in the garage area continues to make news and add that with the announcement that Hendrick Motorsports wouldn't appeal on the #24 & #48 penalti...

NASCAR continues to change the cars into IROC-style with yet another penalt
2007-06-27 00:06:00
Well, today I have learned a couple of things from NASCAR, first being that Hendrick can't buy the #8 nor DEI can sell it because NASCAR released a statement saying that numbers can't be bought or sold and they owner the numbers. No surprise here, I wondering what NASCAR thought and something I thought too, basically Dale Jr fans can only hope that DEI is willing to let Hendrick Motorsports and Dale Jr. have the number in good faith or even maybe doing a trade of number for number. (Example: #25 for the #8 considering the #5 has so much history with Hendrick Motorsports.) The other thing to consider is reserving another number like the #81, #23 or something along those lines.The second being that earlier today NASCAR hand-down yet another COT penalty, this time for the #24 and #48, both drivers have been docked 100 points, the crew chiefs fined $100,000 and suspended for six races. Hendrick and Gordon both docked 100 owner points too. At least they are consitant in there penalties...

What a weekend this one was in Sonoma for the Cup Series first road course race of the season and using the COT. Sunday was on to remember for some and others to just say ?Now let?s Get over it and move on?, as this turned from an action-packed race in the early stages, to a fuel-mileage race with hard driving by many, I have to say I was looking forward to watching Jimmie Johnson and Jeff Gordon crave there way to front, but it really didn?t happen, I was taken by watching Robby Gordon, McMurray and of course F1?s road course man Juan Montoya craving there way up through the field including a couple of rough driving incident for Montoya, but I wouldn?t have predicted this ending, Juan Montoya winning, picking up his first career Nextel Cup victory, first Formula 1, now this. Despite maybe or not who won or some of the off camber stuff, this one was a good race to watch and I am looking forward to Watkins Glen.I have to say, once again it wasn?t the road course ringers making noise,...

Denny Hamlin and Aric Almirola win the AT&T 250 at the Milwaukee Mile.
2007-06-24 08:46:00
Say what, yes you read the headline correctly, they combined to win the AT&T 250 in Milwaukee and what a race this one was. Under the lights in Milwaukee really doesn?t make for a huge race most of the time, but for what transpired all thoughout this race, it sure did.When you take double duty Nextel (or Sprint) Cup drivers and through them in with having to quickly fly cross country from the road course in Sonoma where they drove the Car Of Tomorrow and try and end up in Milwaukee on time and get them to drive a completely different car with no practice, that makes for one long, interesting night. However since Denny Hamlin was in Sonoma, Aric Almirola had to practice and qualify the #20 Chevy grabbing the pole in the process, you would think since Hamlin was still in the air, Aric Almirola would be able to drive it. Green flag and there under way with Almirola on pole and running in the top 3 just behind leader Carl Edwards who just made it in time for the race and then it hap...

First, Looking back at the 2007 United States Grand Prix at Indy this past weekend, I really didn?t watch to much of the multi-hours of coverage as I had in years past, but from what I did see leading up to race wasn?t bad. Multi-teams showed speed in practice including Alonso. However when it came to qualifying, the 22 year Lewis Hamilton continued to show just how good he really is with for the second straight race grabbing the pole over his teammate Alonso.What a race despite the fact that there was really no lead changes throughout, behind the pole winner Lewis Hamilton and his teammate Alonso, there was a lot in the battles, this race was exciting to watch in terms of just what a Formula 1 race can process, the highlight?s wouldn?t come close to the 2005 Japanese Grand Prix, but nevertheless it was better than most races this season. I didn?t know that two formula 1 cars could go side by side throughout most of this race track, but they could and multi-times to boot. I have to ...

This image was taken by me up at NHIS back in 2005.From 8racingfan.com: I call on Teresa Earnhardt to make a deal with Junior or Hendrick to give Junior the number 8. The fans would appreciate and it?s good for the Earnhardt family. I call on all media outlets, including blogs, to continue this campaign.As a Dale Jr. fan, I love this idea, the #8 has alot of history with the Earnhardt's including it was the number Ralph Earnhardt raced under (Dale Jr's Grandfather) and Dale Jr. has done this number proud including winning the 2004 Daytona 500 and it should stay that way. So comtinue the campaign and spread the word, the fans would appreciate it. See Yeah!

My Take: Dale Jr's announcement on joining Hendrick Motorsports in 2008 and
2007-06-13 18:48:00
As I sit here writing this just after watching the latest press conference where Dale Earnhardt Jr. had just announced that he will be joining Hendrick Motorsports in 2008 and that while some details have not been finalized yet, this is going to be a 5 year deal.All during this announcement, I had begun thinking about last months announcement that Dale Jr. that he would be leaving DEI at the end of this season and then hearing all of the rumors starting to fly on just where he would end up. I had even heard a rumor that night that he had already signed a contract with RCR to drive a fourth car. The rumors never really stopped in him going to Gibbs Racing, Ginn Racing and even starting his own team.Now also during this announcement, Hendrick has said followed up with a press release by Kyle Busch that Busch would be leaving at seasons end to drive for another team. (Rumor has him at DEI.).I do wonder if after 5 years, what he will do next, maybe there could be a part ownership in his...
