Kudos to The Onion {Bodine} for winning the Dega Truckfest yesterday. I missed most of it because Pattyjo and I got caught up in Dick’s Sporting Goods. I needed a new pair of shoes and after spending a couple of hours on my own earlier in the day without success, I asked Pattyjo if she’d go to Dick’s. She brings me luck and sure enough I ended up with a very nice pair of Merrell Moab Hiking shoes.

Theses puppies are not cheap, but OMG!! they have to be the most comfortable shoe I’ve ever owned. So… I missed the race to tend to my feet, but I’m happy I did. Jack Sprague wrecked and I get ired when he wrecks. He is an alumni of my own public school in tiny Spring Lake Mich. and graduated with my younger brother. I remember Jack as a little kid and I have that protective nature about me. I only just read about it this morning so I didn’t sit around pissed off last night.

Qualifying for the Cup race… bizarre to say the least. Mikey on the pole! I did watch this in it’s entirety and I must say it was one of the most interesting qualifying telecasts I’ve watched. So… what will happen today when all of those “Go or Go-Homer’s” up front get run over? Their cars are not in race trim and I envision a draft locomotive plowing through the Brat Pack within minutes. Well at least the NAPA Toyota got some much needed publicity as well as Toyota in general. It’s been their weekend with this and their first victory with the Friday ARCA race. Cup win looming??? I predict that’ll be next season in a JGR car.

Happy “Dega” race day and may the draft be with you.
