I adore the Biffle. He's just so sweet and all. And besides which...kid gloves! Ha! (It's an inside joke thing for those trying to figure out why kid gloves are funny.)

Q. If you're racing against a guy that you know is hurting, how do you approach that? Do you treat him with kid gloves?

Biffle: Yeah, I mean, you know, I think you have to. I mean, this NASCAR sport is really truly, you know, like extended family. We say that. I say it with great pride because, you know, I respect all those guys that I work with every week a tremendous amount. They're all very talented. We do a lot of stuff together. Tony Stewart's deal at El Dora, Kyle Petty's Victory Junction Gang, I think we all support that. We each have our own foundations that we try and do things together. We race with each other every week.

If Tony's a little under the weather, he's not feeling well, he's driving the car at Dover, we all have to respect that fact that we're going to make sure -- you're going to race him like you race your teammate. You're going to make sure you race him clean. You're going to respect the fact that he's running for a title and a championship and for a sponsor and a team. I think any driver would respect that same thing for each other, you know, everybody else.

I love "meetings" that are purely an excuse to sit in a room for 10 minutes to discuss the intricacies of online research. *headdesk* When really, it's me they want doing the research, and it's just a matter of going to newspaper websites daily. Um, how is this hard? How does this warrant more than an email?

And how did it make my headache worse? Dang!

On the plus side, things to make me happy (of hte NASCAR variety):

Power Rankings!: Favorite headline of the week, courtesy of thebrushback.com: Matt Kenseth, Tony Stewart Casually Trying To Kill Each Other

Jamie Mac is shy. *hugs him* And an American Idol junkie. We'll ignore the Katharine McPhee lust, as he rooted for Chris first.

Vickers calling Jimmie on the exaggerated stories about him. Hee.
