NASCAR Boys Going Nude or Semi-nude for ESPN

How did I miss this?
Carl Edwards and Mark Martin are two (that I know of ) NASCAR drivers that are to appear in ESPN's Magazine, The Body Issue, due out on news stands October 9th. Reports are that every athlete featured in the magazine is either nude or semi-nude. I read that Carl Edwards will appear on one of six covers and inside the magazine but did not pose nude. I'm fairly certain Mark Martin did not pose nude. Although, if he's in this issue, he will be showing off those six-pack abs of his.

Here is one picture that has been released.

Invest 'n Vests

What can a $10 investment do for you?

Not only will it give you the opportunity to help provide bullet-and-knife-resistant vests for K9 officers throughout the United States, but also the chance to win a potential cash prize valued at twenty-five percent (25%) of the total monies raised!

With the help of your $10 donation today, www.vest4k9.com in collaboration with NASCAR drivers Tony Stewart and Greg Biffle, will raise funds to vest 192 K9 officers working in 32 states. And 25 percent of all cash raised will be raffled off to one lucky donor. So, the more money donated, the more you could win!

In July of 2008, the Tony Stewart Foundation vested all 30 Indiana State Police dogs, plus 10 additional dogs in 3 other states. Stewart’s philanthropic efforts called much attention toward Vest ‘N P.D.P.’s president and founder Susie Jean’s one-person shop and suggested a need for a national effort to raise funds to help these K9 officers. So far, 350 dogs in 38 states have been provided a custom-fit vest to protect them in the line of duty.

These custom-made bullet-and-knife-resistant vests are made from the same Kevlar material used in human officer’s vests and are personally embroidered for each K9 officer. Vests range from $1,200 to $1,500 per vest, which, according to Susie Jean, is “A small price to pay for our police dogs that protect their human partner as well as our communities.” Click on, “Buy Tickets” to Invest ‘n Vests! Each $10 donation enters you to win the cash prize. Don’t delay! Raffle ends June 14th!

Pop-Tart or Fortune Cookie

My daughter left the last bite of her Pop-Tart and I noticed something interesting.

More than interesting, I found this as a sign that Mark Martin will do very well at Las Vegas Motor Speedway in this Sunday's race. After all, he will be driving the #5 Kelloggs Pop-Tart Chevrolet this weekend!

What a long, strange trip it's been.

It seems this blog has collected some dust. I believe it started getting abandoned soon after I got smacked down with this… Not What I was Expecting During the Long NASCAR Break

I didn’t abandon NASCAR but my writing became less and less due to four surgeries, radiation treatments and the brain being hazy on pain medications.

That’s all in the past. I am here to remedy the situation! By the way, I’m fine as you can see from the picture below.

There’s a lot to discuss and share while we‘re on this NASCAR hiatus. I’m adding fun posts and videos. This is, after all, * Horsepower and Happy Hour*, happy being the operative word.

Where's the Silver Lining?

Jayski has the The Unofficial Layoff Count since end of season. It seems dismal for anyone one looking to work for a NASCAR team when the employees who thought they were ensconced, are trying to keep their jobs.

The NASCAR Insiders have reported some good news to help with this problem.

It’s Worth a Shot
Humpy Wheeler along with the North Carolina Motorsports Association have created what they are calling the “Motorsports Employment Task Force” to help keep some of the presently displaced NASCAR workforce in North Carolina. Read More...

I wonder which drivers are recession-proof? Here's a clue.

I'm a Ford Mustang!

You're an American classic -- fast, strong, and bold. You're not snobby or pretentious, but you have what it takes to give anyone a run for their money.
