In the latest Rolling Stone magazine, there’s a Tony Stewart feature where he confesses that I am all he cares about…

“Pussy, money and race cars. That’s pretty much all I care about.” Tony says.

See…he even named me first!

Not to mention, with me being a female Tony Stewart fan, I’m sure me and many other women had to change their pants after reading this article. In regards to the aforementioned post where someone asked me to splurge the Top 3 NASCAR Drivers I would sleep with in a heartbeat boyfriend or not…this post might give away the hint for who’s pining for my #1 spot.

Here’s the article:

AP is reporting that Reed Sorenson is leaving Chip Ganassi Racing to sign a multi-year contract with Gillett Evernham Motorsports and will be with teammates Kasey Kahne and Elliot Sadler.

Sorenson started his NASCAR career with Chip Ganassi four years ago and he claimed the decision to switch “was difficult but necessary”

“I’m going over here to try to make myself a better race car driver,” Sorenson said during a conference call Tuesday shortly after the announcement. “I wanted to be more competitive and I wanted to have some more opportunities to win races and things like that. It seems like this year it has been (the) worst year out of the three, so I guess you could say that probably factored in on things like that,”

“Reed is a highly talented driver with a wealth of experience and accomplishments for a 22-year-old,” said Mark McArdle, the team’s vice president and managing director of competition. “We believe he has a great future ahead of him here at Gillett Evernham Motorsports. He will be a great fit with our drivers, sponsors and employees.”

For Ganassi, it’s two driver’s down (he shut down Dario Franchitti’s team earlier this season), one more to go. Is it possible Juan Pablo Montoya might be lonely next season?

When it comes to favorite drivers, if I had to choose between Kyle Busch and Carl Edwards, I would choose Carl Edwards. If I wanted to sound juvenile, and someone asked me to put my favorite NASCAR drivers in favoritism order….it would be Tony Stewart, Carl Edwards, then Kyle Busch. And let me also say that my favoritism list does not go in the order of which NASCAR driver I would sleep with first, that’s a completely other list.

Now that I’m done being juvenile…how bout that Bristol race?

I personally did not watch the entire thing. My little cousin wanted me to take her to a Jonas Brothers concert. Yeah, I said Jonas Brothers. I did however, wear a old school Dale Jr. #8 Budweiser hat to the race because I didn’t feel like doing my hair, and I guarantee you…I was the only one wearing NASCAR gear in that sold our arena of screaming little girls.

By the time I got in my car to leave the concert, I turned on my Sirius Satellite Radio and the screen rolled across the top 5 finishers. Ugh!

Luckily for me, they played it again today…you know, for all the NASCAR fans that went to the Jonas Brothers concert, since I know there’s a lot of you out there!

So the recap for you Jonas Brothers fans (I hope you all know at this point, I’m totally joking!) Busch lead 415 consecutive lapsBristol Motor Speedway, the first laps were the first moments of the what is now Busch vs. Edwards rivalry as they were already bumping and pushing along the way. Then at the end, the same situation happened and Edwards got away with the win. After Edwards’ victory, he started to do his cool down lap and who comes out of nowhere and bumps his car…you guessed it…diaper baby Busch.

“It’s one of those deals where I couldn’t get by him, I couldn’t get by him, and I just had to ask myself, ‘Would he do that to me?’ ” Edwards said after doing his trademark backflip off the car in Victory Lane. “And he has before, so that’s the way it goes.”

I agree with Edwards, if Kyle Busch had the opportunity, he would have probably wrecked someone else for the win, plus someone needs to tell diaper baby Busch that it’s called RACING. I havn’t watched NASCAR long, but what I have seen from the old school style of racing…I like the rough and tumble style of racing, the type of racing that Edwards and Busch did Saturday night. It’s the type of entertainment NASCAR needs these days to keep people interested.

Denny Hamlin is the same way as Kyle Busch, when things do not turn out the way they want it to, their interviews end up being negative, like a “Oh we got second place, we should have got first…”

For the sake of sounding valley girl, LIKE OMG! YOU WON SECOND, YOU ARE A FRIGGIN’ MILLIONARE what’s the problem? Not to mention, the negativeness of a second place finish must lift the spirits of the crew members and the people that bust their butt for you and you are whining about a second place finish.

Watch Carl Edwards when he does interviews with media, if he’s wearing sunglasses, he does the respectful thing and pulls them up on his head when he talks to them. I’m a woman, and body language like that is very commendable.

Maybe it’s just my demeanor of being happy for what I have in life, and maybe that principal does not apply to NASCAR, but it just proves my point that I am a fan of Kyle Busch when he is in a race car, once he gets out of the race car and starts talking…he’s the douche bag I loved to hate last season.

Joe Gibbs racing will announce on August 25th in a news conference forum that Joey Logano will replace Tony Stewart in the #20 car next season as Tony will go on to his Stewart-Haas car owner duties.

The goal is to get Logano in a fourth Sprint Cup car by the Richmond Race…THIS SEASON! The last race before the Chase is officially underway.

NASCAR.com reports: “In no way will JGR jeopardize any of those cars’ chances of making the Chase [by putting Logano in a Cup car at Richmond],” the source said. “They don’t even want to risk the appearance of possibly jeopardizing the Chase chances of the other three cars.”

The regular NASCAR fans know that Joey Logano is a great race car driver, his track record in the Nationwide Series is far superior to most of the drivers running in the Nationwide Series full time, in 9 Natiowide Series starts he’s won once, got 2 poles and 3 top five finishes. But the big question is…is it too soon to be putting him into a Sprint Cup car?

I’ve been in a little bit of a slump with writing. But for some reason, this weekend, I want to get back into it. My boyfriend’s daughter will not be over this weekend, and my boyfriend is out with the guys tonight. So why am I not doing anything exciting tonight…

Eh, well I’m hanging out with a few new friends. I found them at Wal-Mart along with a bunch of these little guys on clearance for $1.00 each:

So what if Dale Jr. does not drive #8 Budweiser car anymore, and the M&M’s hat was from when Elliot Sadler drove for them. Not to mention the Alltell Racing hat will be old once Newman goes to Stewart-Haas Racing. It’s OK! They were $1.00 and a big lifesaver when I’m having a bad hair day.

Like the one I am having today.

Lord, I need to get a life.

What does Elliot Spitzer and Joe Gibbs Racing have in common?

Cheating. Or what the media defines as cheating. I’m personally still trying to figure and understand the details as of now, but my glass of pineapple rum and juice is clouding my common sense thinking right now. Ugh!

After the Nationwide Series Michigan race last weekend, NASCAR confiscated 10 cars. By Wednesday, NASCAR had suspended 7 Joe Gibbs Racing crew members indefinitely for attempting to “manipulate horsepower” including crew chiefs Dave Rogers, of the No. 20, and Jason Ratcliff, of the No. 18.

I am a little sad about the Dave Rogers thing, he was, I thought…a great crew chief.

There were magnets found on the gas pedals on both Tony Stewart & Joey Logano’s cars when they were examined, which NASCAR explained was a method to disguise the cars true horsepower. The Toyota cars had three percent more horsepower than the other makes. The driver’s had no idea of these circumstances.

Hopefully Tony Stewart didn’t take the time to take notes on this situation for his own race team next season.

According to NASCAR the penalties fit the crime as follows:

Tony Stewart and Joey Logano each were penalized 150 championship points and placed on probation until the end of the season. Joe Gibbs was also penalized 150 owner’s points.

I’m sure this means a lot to them seeing that Stewart will not be racing in the Nationwide Series for the rest of the season and Logano has been racing for part of the season.

Crew cheifs Ratcliff and Rogers were suspended and fined $50,000 each.

Dorien Thorsen, Michael Johnson, and Toby Bigelow, all of the No. 18, and Richard Bray, and Dan Bajek, of the No. 20, have been placed on indefinite suspension.

ESPN reports that JGR would not appeal the penalties. He also claimed that he had no knowledge of the cheating.

Yeah, and I drink on the job with my boss sitting in his office across the way.

AP reports: “In 17 years we have never had any representative of Joe Gibbs Racing knowingly act outside of NASCAR’s rules, and that is something we consider essential to how we operate on a daily basis,” Gibbs said in a statement. “What we have determined is that these individuals involved used extremely poor judgment.”

Maybe with the big boys on suspension some of the full-time Nationwide drivers can shine for once?
