From the Marbles - NASCAR

In what might possibly have been the Worst Race In The History Of Humanity, we had what is undoubtedly a contender for best NASCAR video of the year. As Jeff Burton was kicking into high gear, a couple birds apparently didn't get the memo that the Brickyard is a no-fly (ha!) zone:


How can someone kill innocent little birdies like that? (Easy. You don't lead 'em as much.) Boy, that's not going to go over well with The Senator's future PETA constituency.

    OMG! Hit an owl at 50 mph once, can only imagine what it would be like to hit a pigeon at 180!

    As much as I detest pigeons, their nests, and their friggen eggs they lay on my balcony, I wouldn't take them out with my car.

    Gonna have to change his nickname to "the Birdman". Looks like he drove right through an endangered
    nesting site.

    Anyone watching Nascar Now? Crusty said that the "stock cars are always drifting most of the time." Is it "always" or "most of the time"???

    Reds24-I heard the same interview with Kyle. I missed the race, did that information not make the air during the race?

    Have any of you Marbleheads seen the one-click insanity going taking place on the Smoke post?

    Goodnight, Kim.
    I'm calling it a night too. The race may have been a joke, but conversing with you all made it fun.
    Goodnight, Marbleheads.

    years ago watching the Daytona race Earnhardt hit a seagull at close to 200 mph was just red vapor and white fluff, as i remember it screwed up his car pretty good.

    Goodmorning Marbleheads!
    Holy Cow! I just tried catching up with the over 1000 posts on the Smoke fight.... jeez... I think I'll stay over here for now.
    I'm still confused about Kyle's interview complaining about Jr running over his pitcrew... anyone have any news on that one?

    Good morning, Marbleheads...
    Reds24, I saw that craziness on the Smoke thread last night. My advice to you is to stay as far away from the insanity as you can. LOL!!!!
