NASCAR TOUR HEADS TO KENTUCKY!

I hate starting these threads so early but not much to talk about as far as the last race!

My father was born in Corbin,Kentucky so I have a little "briar hopper" in me! Obviously my grandma and grandpa are also from Kentucky. Grandma and grandpa and my father moved to Ohio so as to avoid working those coal mines.

Living in Ohio most of my life. I have access to so many racing venues including Tony's dirt track up in Rossburg,Ohio! The NASCAR tour oddly travels to many neighboring states.
Michigan,Indiana,Pennsylvania,Kentucky,New York to name a few. Means nothing, just threw that in!

Kentucky Speedway's first race last year was a disaster for the fans unfortunately. But, all those problems have been addressed.

Team #39's 2011 numbers there:START:18TH.....FINISHED:4TH. So, there's hope for this "ship sinking" race team at Kentucky as long as they don't mess up?

NASCAR practices will be Friday June 29TH at both 11:30AM(ET) and 1:30PM(ET) followed by qualifying at 5:00PM(ET). RACE is Saturday night 7:00PM(ET) on TNT.

Ryan Newman's career stats look like the following:16 wins/83 top 5's/155 top 10's.

Newman's 2012 stats look like this:1 win/2 top 5's/3 top 10's. No kidding folks, Team #39 needs to pick it up a lot or they may be on the "outside looking in" at this years Chase!

Paint Scheme will be the Tornado's!

Your feeling about Kentucky if any?

well with the new surface, everything gets thrown out of the window

I love your posts, they always make me laugh. I have heard of a lot of things, lived in many states, but what is a "Briar hopper"?

Glad to see Tornados on Ryan's car. Somehow the Tornados have disappeared from the shelves around here, they are really good if you can find them. Nice snack.

i heard from a friend that kentucky was repaved, but has been pointed out to me, that it has not, my bad....

Only the road in front the giftshop was extended plus a few more things like parking.

We need to laugh to survive this racing season!

Briar hopper is an old nickname for folks from just about any southern state Annalee.

Tornado's snacks are tasty it's just some flavors are a little high in salt for us blood pressure conscious humans!

Boy it's hot here in Ohio today! 102 today!

About as hot as that political announcement today.................

Love your Picts and captions!! It really is hot, in more ways than one.
102 here today, 104 tomorrow YIKES !! The good news is it is a night Race for the drivers and teams..

I appreciate the acknowledgement Annalee on my funny captions!

It really kind of pains me having to post the funny captions but you have to have some kind of stress relief. If I posted those on Ryan's official site. The love fest(cliques) on there would turn violent! There unwavering love for Ryan was sickening. I know Ryan enjoys my stuff on here!

Ryan has a wonderful sense of humor and very quick wit..........I know he would love them too! Keep them coming! Everyone needs some humor in their life, life would be very dull without it

Ryan has so many fans from his old home state of Indiana. My oldest sister lives there as well.

I spent about 8 years on Ryan's official site until it was taken over by some seriously stupid people and cliques. Some of my old Newman site friends are now on my facebook so I can talk with them in peace!

I did meet some pretty good people at his past Fan Days. A few I met turned out to be real back stabbing jerks but that's life I guess! Not everyone on this Earth has a healthy mental disposition if you get my drift!

Newman qualified 5TH!

I have good vibes about this race!

It is funny you said that about the website.....when Ryan won at Martinsville and we went for our
"blooming onion", I think some of the Ryan fans I met mentioned that website.......And when I
started mentioning the problems with TG ,they thought I was crazy and very misinformed...almost
hostile...maybe TG relatives

Go Newman!! I like his chances too!! I wish Ryan would show Tony how he qualifies so well, cause he can really haul the mail and he makes it look so easy....
I just checked out the website, not free like SHR, so I left.. I bet they were part of that website.
It takes all kinds to make the world go round.

I really dont like rose colored glasses fans. Whether they are the same fans a I am or my fans of my arch enemy LOL.
I respect the fan of a team I dont like more than a fan of who I am a fan of if they are realistic, vs all rosey.
Apparently the SHR ownership must be apart of that website as well, since they dont think there isnt anything wrong with TG either.
if ryan shows Smoke how to qualify better then Addington has to teack TG how to Crew chief. I call that a fair trade. Infact I think Ryan should trade all his qualifying spots with Tony for Tony's CC.
I would much rather start bad with a good CC then start up front with a bad one.

The major down fall of Ryan's Official Site was the formation/love fest of a few fans on there that became good friends by meeting one another at Ryan's Fan Days and decided as a clique to be the "supreme rulers" of the site! They know who they are.........

We use to make fun of what we called,"The Sunshine Club" on Ryan's site many years ago. Those are the fans who could never see any wrong no matter what Newman did as a driver or his race team. One dimensional thinking.

It simply boils down to a difference in philosophies in my opinion. All good or all bad information. I prefer a mixed bag myself! I think they just enjoyed picking on anyone!

I'm surprised they haven't attacked me already on here? Probably waiting for their chance like old times. Very immature for their age I might add sadly! It seemed no matter which site I was on.They would follow.
