It's Thanksgiving, and we're thankful for many things around here -- turkey-induced naps, weekday football, and intelligent fellow bloggers. Biting off our buddy 'Duk's post over at Big League Stew, we've created a space for you to offer up what you're thankful for in NASCAR. Tailgates? The smell of oil in the morning? Catastrophic wrecks where everyone walks away? Whatever you're thankful for, here's your chance to let the world know.
Here's how this works. You can comment in the comment box below, though that's moderated and your post won't appear instantly. Or you can go through Twitter and post your thanks with the hashtag #marblesthanks, and they'll show up below.
Have a happy and safe holiday, and we'll see you right back here soon!

Happy Thanksgiving to the Jays and all the Marbleheads up in the cushion. Watch out for Sideways Sammy Hornish I hear he's ridden the high line heading for the wall again.
I'm thankful to Yahoo who took the chance on hiring some goofy guy in retro sunglasses with a wacky sense of humor who created a site that became home to many of us. Through the past two years I have meet a few people that I would be proud to call friends and some that I would be scared to let small children or animals around. (Gator, I'm talking about you dude. lol) So thank you Mr. Busbee for all you do, and try to ignore those 3000-4000 comments that called you an idiot the other day, they know not what they say. ( Buncha Grinches ) Happy Thanksgiving!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!!!!!! May we for one day NOT dwell on the negativity in our life but whether to reflect on all the goodness that surrounds us and BE THANKFUL FOR IT. I personally have to say that I have met some really cool people here. We may not hang out nearly as much as we used to but that doesn't mean I wouldn't (like KG said) consider calling them my friend. Then there are those that well........ (need to just be forgotten), Keep it safe out there where ever you may be. Looks like I'll be having some leftover turkey sandwiches with someone. lol

Glad this season of NASCAR BS is over. Don't know if I'll be watching too many if any NASCAR races(?) next year.

The sound, the smell, the feeling you get when they come off the corner and head down the front stretch. You know that little twich in your stomach....when they come off the curb at Daytona for the 1st time in the season....you get all giddy with excitment....its a new season and everything seems possible.
Sound???...........I remember that sound the motors would make....it just does not seem the same.....I have tapes from years ago....I know, you say "A VHS tape?" people still use those?".....yep.....hell I have the race Dale Jr. won at Daytona couple of months after loosing his dad....you know when him and Micheal Waltrip got on the hood and celebrated down on the green???.....I still tear up a little.....but I watch those old race....LOVED the sound of those cars

I am thankful that I have a job.....I am thankful for my kid.......AND I am thankful I have some place to come to meet and talk to other NASCAR fans.....thou at times we fight.....say mean things about each other's drivers....it feels good to argue with someone who appreciates NASCAR as mush as I do.....I have become with friends with several of y'all.....have NASCAR fans from ALL over America.....several (I think 3) Texans.....Several Cali folks.....One wise Cajun Princess (LOL)......one from Tucky (miss you Jim T).....OH....cannot forget about our over the pond NASCAR brother, Art.....and SO many other places.....it has been nice getting to know you.....rattleing your cages.....and you doing the same....BUT I am most thankful for the GREATEST BLOGMONKEY ever to step foot on this earth.....Jay Busbee your are the BEST....and I want to say THANKS for making From The Marbles......you have created a phnemon that will never be duplicated....and in the wise words of our texan brother (Farmer)....BUSBEE IS ON FIRE!!!!

Hope everyone had a great Turkey day!.....Christmas is just around the corner.....let the shopping frenzie begin!
