First off, sorry for the delay mates and matettes. It's been one hell of a week, WILL IT EVER END?! Yea sure... right after Kansas, Barcelona, Argentina, the boring Indy, the haphazard SBK @ Imola and those silly GPjunah races end.

 

'Why should I care?' Why should you not? There's nothing like some races and wine at the end of the week to get you over that weekly emotional hangover you call 'life'.

 

So strap yourselves in, for it's that asshole Bowyer's home event.

*seen here meticulously getting his arms tired, right before ****ing up Gordon and Truex's day*

 

Michael Waltrip approves.

now now... there's no need to cry, it's also this dude's 'sort of' home race. *broness*

Schedule:

 

Yeah, whatever, I don't care. I'll probably miss the race because of girls and booze. Sue me.

 

Track lay-  ;) -out:

'What?' Exactly.

 

'Is there Nationwide?' I don't know, ask Hope.

 

'Where will the DRS zone be?' Let me show you the door.

 

'Well... what actually happened this year, up to this halfwayish point?' For some god forsaken reason this bloke:

 

Jeff_Gordon_Closeup_2012.jpg

 

is leading the championship (to the eternal delight of SR), ahead of Kenseth. Both WINLESS.

 

So this:

 

0ed3744b89fc140efad8b3c3e7a9e1c8_crop_no

 

and this

 

hi-res-6dd501a33b5f1b3a69af1e1739f5f0e1_

 

mean absolutely nothing (thank god).

 

On the other side of the spectrum, last time, Denny won! Yay. Yay? Meh. Meh? Well, I don't know. Do you?

 

DennyHamlinNewStaringOutWindow.jpg

 

Some other dudes won this year, *sigh Kyle sigh* but not my two sweethearts:

 

danica-selfie-nude-nip-slip.jpg

 

and

 

tony-stewart-swaps-his-ride-for-the-day-

 

and that Aussie fella who punches weaklings. At least 'the Good Busch' won and that Juniah dude everyone is all gushy about. Delightful.

 

Before I go, will someone please give Brad a Snickers? Dude is acting up.

'Too many pics in the OP, Drone...' - you say? Deal with it my friend. JJ hasn't won a race and I hear no one complainin'.

Fun facts about Kansas and/or the State (no, Toto, shut the **** up):

 

#457: apparently cats are popular there.

 

royals_cat_bw_t460.jpg?926875e5be5f93a8d

 

#909: 'the Greater Kansas City area has more than 200 picturesque fountains, giving rise to its nickname, The City of Fountains.'

 

#021: 'Kansas won the award for most beautiful license plate for the wheat plate design issued in 1981.'

 

#4700: 'At one time it was against the law to serve ice cream on cherry pie in Kansas.'

 

#352: 'Silent comedian Buster Keaton, of early film success, was from Piqua, Kansas.'

 

#077: 'There are 27 Walnut Creeks in the state.'

 

#994: 'A hailstone weighing more than one and a half pounds once fell on Coffeyville, Ka.'

 

#001: 'The world famous fast-food chain of Pizza Hut restaurants opened its first store in Wichita.'

 

 

So, there you have it dudes and danicas. Are your bodies ready? Mine is. See you after the torren... ahm replay. Haas bless and boogity for all.

Using comic sans last race nearly gave me a stroke, so no. At least for me. It's all Wise's fault.

C'mon man don't quote the OP in it's entirety.  We saw it.  No need to make us scroll past everything a second time when scanning the thread.

 

Anyone watch the trucks last night?  Really entertaining until the long green flag run that ended it.

Sup Sup. 

 

Checking in early. Just opened the Observer(a Sunday UK newspaper) and am blessing the benefits of time zones.

 

For a bit of brand synergy I can link Kansas to the UK.

 

Good mate of mine in London asked me one day "Why isn't Arkansas pronounced R-Kansas?" "I'm not sure. And now I can't decide which one works better..."

It does sound better, but it would get pretty old with people mishearing "Our Kansas". It sounds like a hashtag after a mall shooting in Topeka.

 

Ban guns! Terrorists are everywhere! Hold me government, I'm scared! Keep assault rifles out of our state! Take back #OurKansas

Do NOT attempt to contact me via Twitter.

I check it rarely as I have followed too many buffoons and can't sort the wheat from the chaff.
