I'd just like to know the purpose of having different rules for starts and restarts.<br /><br />BTW on the subject of favoring certain drivers... Elliot tweeted yesterday morning, "Jimmie Johnson just asked a very good question. I asked the same thing yesterday and got ignored." Hmmm... I guess it pays to be JJ or Kyle or the blue douche.CWMartinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06798867734074134647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5822869016413307981.post-27432067475182895762012-07-30T10:00:00.747-04:002012-07-30T10:00:00.747-04:00The rules of NASCAR are COMPLETELY nonsensical to ...The rules of NASCAR are COMPLETELY nonsensical to me, but then I hate driving so the idea of being in a car for hours without actually getting any place is a little mental to me, too. =Pkatsidhehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09859540523817060764noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5822869016413307981.post-22188377011493877902012-07-30T09:40:02.027-04:002012-07-30T09:40:02.027-04:00CWM:

Not only was it funny and informative, but it brought Charo into the discussion, which is always a plus in my book!<br /><br />Thank you for the compliments.

You recap baseball games, highlight NASCAR and it's foibles AND you tilt at windmills? Tell me dear CW, is there anything you can't do well? Seriously. I expect a critique of the Olympians outfits next buddy. :)<br /> <br />Hope you are asleep now. Although it was nice to see someone up around now.
