Okay, I have thank NASCAR here for semi-fixing their mistake of changing the rules. They have add a "Wild Card." So that drivers that deserved to be there, but changed manufactures may drive. Now if only they would make a chase Wild Card so drivers that win more races than other half of the top 12 don't get screwed over because of DNF's that were out of their control. Anyway that's a whole other story. I would also like to take this blog to say sorry I haven't been to keen on updating lately! I've been super busy, and will be even more with the car getting back on the track in the next week or so. So bare with me please.
Alright I gotta go watch the Eagles kick butt. ;].
Budweiser Shootout, You've been Buschwacked Babe!

New Years Eve
I'm really not in the blogging mood, but I figured I'd wish everybody a happy new year. I loooking foward to spending it with you guys! I know for sure I'll be at both Daytona races && Homestead this year. I might go to a Lowe's && an Atlanta race. Hopefully, I'll be able to go to Pocono in June. I'm going to be up there anyway soooo why not! :]. There's not much new news except for the fact that Reed will be sporting the #43 come Daytona. I think I'm going to go take a nap before partying my head off tonight. I spent all morning at the ice rink. Practice was canceled so I just kinda hung out && watch some hockey tornament going on. That was kinda fun minus the fact that it was a hour that no person with no school should have to be up at. :].
I'd really buschwack anything this time around. Sooooo...byes?

OMG! If This Is True...
Okay I know I already put up a blog today, but when I read this I seriously stopped breathing.
AJ Allmendinger is set to replace Elliott Sadler in the No. 19 Dodge in 2009, multiple Gillett Evernham Motorsports team sources told ESPN.com on Saturday.
GEM CEO Tom Reddin told team employees and sponsors the news just before Christmas, causing some sponsors to consider leaving, according to team sources.
Reached for comment Saturday, GEM spokesman Drew Brown chose not to comment.
Sources also said Ray Evernham, who founded the team and sold majority ownership to George Gillett, cleared out all personal possessions from the team's shop, including the 2002 Brickyard 400 trophy he won as owner of Bill Elliott's No. 9 Dodge.
Calls placed to Evernham and Sadler's representation were not immediately returned.
GEM announced earlier this month that it would scale back its Nationwide Series program next season by laying off about 65 employees and having the No. 9 Dodge run a partial schedule in the second-tier NASCAR series.
The team continues to field three Sprint Cup Series teams for Kasey Kahne, Reed Sorenson and now Allmendinger.
GEM lost sponsor Unilever to JR Motorsports at the end of the season and doesn't have enough sponsorship in place to run the full Nationwide schedule.
Allmendinger was released by Red Bull Racing late in the 2008 season.

Yeah. I can't believe it either. Imagine NASCAR...without Elliott Sadler. Okay, he flat out sucked this year, but it's Sadler for God's sake! Good Ol' West Virginia Fried Balony Lovin' Do Anything To Put A Smile On Your Face Sadler! A few months ago everything was fine. I mean he just sign a 5 five year contract with GEM and stated that he couldn't see himself anywhere else. I'm beginning to believe them. Those who tell me that NASCAR is slowly dieing. Slow && Painful. If someone doesn't hire him, I swear to God I'm buying a bloody race team!
Screwed up world, you've been Buschwacked Babe!
P.S. Don't get me wrong. I love AJ, and I really wanted him to get a ride...just not Elliott's.
