to hire the WWE writers to liven things up because it sure is getting old with the old Hulk Hogan routine.
The Truck Series race? Excellent as usual. Congrats to Hornaday on setting a new record for consecutive wins. And I like how he handled that Sam Bass guitar. With respect and reverence. Somebody could take a few lessons from Hornaday when it comes to being classy and gracious in Victory Lane.
IBPN’s coverage of the Busch and Cup races? Abysmal at best. The commentary? Even worse. Lots of good racing missed or not shown or maybe you caught a glimpse of it in the background. At this rate, TNT deserves to be given the second half of the season because IBPN sure isn’t watching the races of old on IBPN Classic. If they did, they might actually present a decent race.
For some reason, the Truck Series isn’t going back to the normal pit stops and the double file restart like the other two series. Somebody in the Ivory Towers must have it in for the Truck Series. Just because it’s the best racing under Brian’s Big Top doesn’t mean it should be treated differently than the other two series. But then, His Royal Highness knows what’s best for the sport. He said so.
For you folks who are having a tough time find “Dirt Under the Asphalt”, here’s a source for it:

To correct some spin from the NA$CAR controlled media, Mayfield didn’t lose his appeal. There was a stay placed on the injunction he was granted by Judge Mullen. There will be a hearing within the next month on the stay that was granted. So nobody’s won, nobody’s lost. Just stay away from the Kool Aid and all will be fine.
This might sound like a tin foil hat and black helicopters deal, but some folks are wondering why there’s nothing coming out of the Mayfield camp. Based on what several folks in the know told me, it might have to do with everyone who has a hard card being told not to talk or mention anything about Mayfield. And just what was that meeting about after the Charlotte race this year that nobody in the lamestream media seems to mention?
The economy is impacting some of the race teams. One organization has had their workers and drivers take a voluntary pay cut. One driver actually took a bigger pay cut than the rest because he felt it was the right thing to do. You can expect to see more teams doing the same unless the economy turns around. This is the problem with having a shop full of specialists. They can’t do more than one job.
While searching around for some pictures of His Royal Highness on the web to print out and put on my dart board, I came across some photos which definitely grabbed my eye. So, I sent two of the pictures out to see if anyone could tell me what was going on. Well, it appears all has not been as happily advertised down in the Ivory Towers. It seems that His Infernal Incompetence divorced his wife Megan back in 2007. That’s the gal who gave birth to the twins which we never got to see and whose names we never found out. You can find the name of her daughter, but not the twins. “Hi I’m Larry, and this is my brother Darrell and that’s my other brother Darryl“. Thanks to all who participated in the search and to Marlene for the “winning” answer. people.famouswhy.com
And why is it such a state secret? Folks get divorced all the time. Ronald Reagan was divorced and remarried. Donald Trump’s been divorced and remarried. Michael Jackson was married and divorced. So was the Co-owner of Motormouth Motorsports. So what’s the big secret? Could there be more to it? Besides assaulting helpless palm trees? There probably is. Will we ever find out about it? Doubtful. So why is the lamestream media so complacent about it? They splashed Jeff Gordon’s divorce all over the sports pages and the web. Isn’t the Emperor of All Things NA$CAR of equal or more importance than Jeff Gordon? He is in his own mind. And he does love the media exposure if it makes him look good or he thinks it does. That’s it. It wouldn’t make him look good. Part of the mystery solved. Now about the rest of it. Just who is the brunette he was with at the 2008 Awards Dinner? More on that later.
Since NA$CAR won’t be having their after season awards dinner in NYC, Faux King Brian sold his NYC condo and made $8 million on the deal. Maybe Bruton can cut him a deal on one of his condos at LVMS for the awards dinner celebration?
So, does NA$CAR actually have a zero tolerance drug policy or are they using the official name Zero-Tolerance Drug Policy of Aegis Labs? And if they’re using the name, are they paying for the rights to use it? And just because it says it in the name, it doesn’t necessarily mean it’s true. Just who are those drivers Faux King Brian said also came up positive? Obviously zero tolerance only applies to those who aren’t “special”, especially after a recently surfaced rumor about one of the Cash Cows flunking a drug test. I’ve got to research it some more but if it’s true and it’s being covered up, that’s not a good thing for the sport. It also shows the lack of transparency and favoritism that exists despite some folks insisting that it doesn’t.
Something else surfaced regarding the now infamous Dr. Black. Remember his statements about there was no possible way there could be a false positive? It seems Dr. Black was involved in a case in Tennessee in which a fireman was tested and came up with a false positive. The fireman insisted on his innocence, sued, proved his innocence, was rehired and also received a nice damages award from Aegis Labs because of the false positive. So if they can make a false positive against an innocent fireman, and Mayfield has proven he’s been clean on test conducted by labs other than Aegis, doesn’t that say something about the reliability of NA$CAR’s official drug testing lab? Think it over and talk amongst yourselves.
And to top things off on their reliability, it seems they messed up on a case in which poisoning was suspected. It seems that Aegis misidentified some chemicals and labeled the sample containers improperly. The labels had the samples being drawn before the death of the victim instead of after. And this is a reliable lab? It’s a long read but when you read it, it’ll raise some questions regarding the Mayfield case and the reliability of the Aegis Labs testing programs and their results.
One of those things I missed has to do with a government bail-out for auto racing. Yep, that’s right. It seems that somebody, probably somebody who got some political contributions from the Beach Boy Bubbas, slipped a little something in the bail-out package to help out poor Faux King Brian and his merry band of misfits. Also benefiting from it would be The Bruton: sports.yahoo.com/nascar/blog/
Here are race teams and race fans that could really use a bail-out, but to give it to the Emperor of All Things NA$CAR? I think somebody on the Ethics Committee in the House and Senate need to look into this. Providing they can find somebody who didn’t receive political contributions from His Majesty and his henchmen.
And just how concerned is NA$CAR regarding drugs and having an effective drug policy? Well, apparently not very back before the Aaron Fike admission. It seems the House of Representatives sent a letter to Mafia Mike addressing an issue back on April 9, 2003 regarding the drug ephedra and ephedra-containing products. This was brought on by the death of Orioles pitcher Steve Bechler. It seems that according to a NA$CAR trainer, 80% of the crewmembers were using ephedra-containing products to boost their energy levels and lose weight. I haven’t been able to find a copy of Mafia Mike’s reply yet, but here’s the House Letter: republicans.energycommerce.house.gov
Could a ‘Start and Park” union be on the way? Maybe. If the start and parks reach the 30% level or more, they’ll have enough clout to put a kink in Faux King Brian’s plans. The start and parkers right now are sharing expenses, personnel, and even shops. And it has come to my attention that one of the Royal Henchmen made one of the start and parks teams have their driver suit back up and return to the track just to make sure the 64 car finished last. While this may not seem like much, think about what Carl Long said about the franchising deal coming up for review next season. Eliminate the weak teams so the mega-teams are more valuable. It’s not about the appearance of racing any more, it’s about the Almighty Greenback plain and simple.
One interesting rumor surfaced about Jeremy Mayfield and the sponsor he was talking about. It appears that Jeremy had shock jock Howard Stern of Sirius XM radio (who carries a number of NA$CAR related programs) as being willing to sponsor Mayfield’s car. Apparently Howard was up to another one of his stunts he’s famous for. The deal? Mayfield would run F*** NA$CAR on the hood and quarter panels. With Mayfield selling off his cars and equipment, the plan was to rent a couple of cars from Hendrick Motorsports, preferably some of Johnson‘s used cars with some new motors, transmissions, rear ends, etc. Another part of the deal which Stern insisted on was that His Imperial Incontinence would have to stand at the
start/finish line and perform a urinalysis
submission in full view of the fans at the track
with Stern, Babba Booey, Robin, and Fred
standing there watching along with Smiling Bob
and the fans in the stands, so there would be
lots of witnesses to verify a “clean” sample
collection. Of course, if His Majesty had
“performance anxiety” or wasn‘t a “Chubby
Santa“, it might take a while for the race to start.
But if HRH really wanted to disprove Mayfield’s
statement about “the pot calling the kettle black”,
he’ll gladly go along with this. After all, he is the
head NA$CAR official according to his own
controlled media and it would disprove what Jack
Flowers wrote in “Dirt Under the Asphalt“. The
Mayfield camp wouldn’t confirm the hood or quarter panel markings and Stern couldn’t be reached. Apparently Smiling Bob is at the North Pole. Or was it he was the North Pole? The voicemail was somewhat garbled.
Here's wishing a speedy recovery to TSgt Williams and SrA Mejia who were recently wounded in Afghanistan doing my old military job. You do a job nobody else would dare to do and it's very much appreciated, especially from this old Master Blaster.
