From the Marbles - NASCAR

We wrap the day with a couple of fun links for you to check out. First off, our colleague Will Brinson over at FanHouse got the distinct pleasure of interviewing and riding along with Dale Earnhardt Jr. in Charlotte recently. Am I jealous? Hell no. Hell freakin' no. Absolutely, hell no ...

I have to comfort myself with infiltrating The Worldwide Leader. I'm up on ESPN now as part of their "NEXT" series trying to pick who's going to be the next great athlete. Joey Logano was one of the choices, but I went with the Falcons' Matt Ryan. (Sorry, folks. Home team rules.)

And that'll do it. Hang here, and come back on Sunday for the big Running Wide Open talkback thread. Last one of the season, 'cause next week it's a LIVE CHAT FOR THE WHOLE HOMESTEAD RACE! Oh my heavens ...

    yuck ham - that is one thing I do not eat or cook. Never have liked it. My poor family like it but the only time they get to eat it is when they go to someone else house to eat.
    frying fies, fries, hushpuppies. Man I just love throwing in some sliced onions and frying them with it all. yummmyyyyyy

    If you want an interview with Dale Jr., you should be here in Phoenix. He's been a real interview whore here this week. Out and about quite a lot, too.

    I'm not cooking tonight. Plenty of leftovers!
    Art, the truck pre-race is on. They had an interview with Kevin Harvick. Was a good one. I'm so sleepy that I don't remember much about it, other than Kevin is hoping that his driver can get the championship.

    GM obviously have an eye for the main opportunity a 2010 signiture JR Nation Camaro SS will be on the market :-)
    I wonder hpw many folks will be trading in Pickup trucks, station wagons and #3 Dremels to get there hands on one ?
