what a bad ass time was had Sunday @ crash o rama! I really enjoyed my job there working with Bobby, Christine, John & AB. I love announcing, when I was young, I had 2 dreams; to be a racer & to be a dj. most kids wanted to be cops, firemen, lawyers etc....NOT ME!!!!!!
I would sit around and record myself announcing everything, doing mock newscasts, sports & weather. I recorded fake radio shows too! My wife said someone walked up to my dad Sunday and told him I was doing ok, he response was " he's been practicing 35 years....."
My car owner wants to sell the 7, he says announcing is a guaranteed paying gig!
Not quite tho, I have unfinished business there friends, thanks to everyone who stopped to say hey Sunday, I appreciate everyone's support.
Now, this weekend, it's TMS! What a fun time to be had, my man James S & I are cuttin out @ noon on Saturday, get to FW and find somewhere to watch UT drill Tech and then Sunday morning it's on!!!! Race day! I bitch about NASCAR, and the same guys winning but man you sure as hell can't beat it real life! Good seats too, a good buddy Rico out of Dallas hooked me up for this one.... I'm excited. I'll take pics, maybe try to blog from there, we'll see tho. If you are going, look me up and we'll swap bullshit stories and have a cool one or 2.
have a good week..

Cary
man what a cool deal for my buddy Cary Stapp, he won the national championship from ASA and Gibbs Racing! A tryout with Gibbs and all the perks that go along with it, and I must say for my man & his family, very, very deserved. These guys do it the way my family and I have done it for years, only with more success! all together, at the track working during the week on those cars, when you see Cary, Chase & Ed are somewhere near, that's the way to operate, my family team sure appreciates the way their family team operates, it's nice to see one thing that has not changed over the years, these guys since the beginning, I remember not long after THR opened, 2 young dudes showed up on a Thursday with Drew Williams' old nova, the father told my dad & I that they were going to this because the new driver's old hobby of bullriding had gotten too dangerous! I remember thinking , oh shit!
well they went on and on and got pretty good but I pinpoint all this success to one night I remember, the second to the last night of the 00 season Cary smashed that nova to hell, or better yet, got it smashed, not his fault, regardless we thought they were done it was so bad. They got that car fixed, he came out the next week and won his first main, convincingly!
I left THR but kept up with these guys and have admired from afar, it is so cool to be a part of this and watch happen to such good people. Best thing is I know Cary, Chase & Ed could go to the most premier racing series and a can GUARANTEE you they would take the time to stop and have a few Miller Lites with the Outlaw team.
Good job guys, you deserve it..
have a great weekend all, hook em cowboys & let's enjoy "The Big One", those guys have plenty of cars!
