Born and raised in the Motor Capital state of Michigan I was taught that these Japanese “Go-Carts” were garbage, along with any foreign auto. But my own father had an Opel Cadet shipped over from Holland… and as cute as that car was, it was pure junk. Go figure! For years we Americans have been closet foreign car lovers. Now some 40 plus years have gone by since the first Toyota laid rubber on American pavement and it has surpassed all domestic autos as the #1 seller in America.

I’m not much on crystal balls, but I do have the gift of clairvoyance. Although the clarity is often clouded, there is some small truth to this as it has proven true many times over the years to the astonishment of myself and those around me. I cannot predict the future by any means, but I have moments of clear vision through my mind of things that have not yet taken place. Hence… Toyota will dominate NASCAR. Okay…so I’m full of crap, but I got you to read this!!

Smoke at testing! Now there is a vision to behold! Apparently needing a haircut and a shave.

Sprint/NEXTEL has just fired 4000 employees and is closing 125 stores. It’s stock has plummeted and it’s credit rating has also dropped.

Will they have to cut NASCAR to help stop the bleeding?

That exclusive sponsor clause isn’t looking too good now is it NASCAR?

It is that time of year again where the Canadian Blog Awards are being determined. This little old blog is up for Best Sports Blog in Canada and as far as I know it is the only motorsport based blog nominated.

What I am asking you for is your vote. You need only to vote once per round, and your votes do count - I lost second place in the Best Post category last year by 3 votes and ended up finishing 3rd.

I also ask another favour of you, my faithful readers, (do I know how to suck up or what?), my other blog “The Works of Stephen King: A Fan’s Perspective” has also been nominated in “The Best New Blog” category, so could you vote for that one too? Thanks! Again you need only to vote once for each round.
