So now that the Ginn-DEI marriage is on the honeymoon how long before Theresa’s talons dig deep? She has already gained tremendously by moving the whole operation into Ginn’s garage and picking up Mark Martin with the unwavering sponsorship of the US Army. Bobby pretty much gave her full rein, but sources say he maintains ownership of the #01 and has also taken over the #15 and Paul Menard. Perhaps this merger will work and become an example of what future teams will do. The “New” NASCAR… 4 or 5 major teams? And I’ve not read or heard what [or if] the name of Ginn-DEI will become. At least the merger of Rosox left us with a catchy name. With all due respect to Dale Sr. I would hope the name remains.

Back at the Cottage… It’s hard to believe that July 07 is about to end. My contracting business is so busy that I have lost track of everything and my head is spinning. I am behind schedule with one addition being held up due to an excavator that left me hanging for ten days, but that’s finally completed so I can start the framing… then to top it off I had problems with an employee and finally had to let him go. This too set back the clock, but he has been replaced with a nice guy carpenter/drummer, but today, his first day on the job, was put on hold due to his family being hit by a flu virus. The weather has put a damper on things, literally and as of next week I am suppose to be starting another big family room addition, but that will be put on the back burner for at least 3 weeks. The good thing is… my customers are patient and understanding and this I can pat myself on the back for because I have established myself after over 25 years of this. I am also the designer/engineer so my desk and drafting table are backed up too. Maybe I need a merger!!!

The recent arrest of Craftsman Truck Series driver Aaron Fike on charges of heroin possession has brought new calls for NASCAR to toughen its drug-testing policies. Driver Kevin Harvick, who Sunday at Indianapolis Motor Speedway will try to win the Allstate 400 at the Brickyard for a second time, has been outspoken in favoring mandatory testing. “I believe every driver in every national series should be drug tested a couple times a year randomly, regardless of who you are,” Harvick said recently. “I think we owe it to the sponsors and the fans to 100 percent know that this is a clean environment. Shame on NASCAR for not policing our garage better than what they police it now.” Harvick’s Richard Childress Racing teammate, Jeff Burton, said he doesn’t believe a serious problem exists but “wishes NASCAR tested more” to remove any doubt.
