Petty Possibly To Announcing
From Jayski:
Petty to TNT? to run less races: hearing that Kyle Petty, driver of the #45 Petty Racing Dodge, will be part of the TNT broadcast crew that airs six Nextel Cup races in June and July of 2007 and that Petty would not drive in some or all those six races, being replaced by another driver, no idea who that driver may be. Bill Weber will return as TNT's play-by-play announcer and Wally Dallenbach returns as a race analyst.(1-20-2007)
I like Kyle as an announcer. He's solid and doesn't try to editorialize too much. And he keeps his opinions of the drivers to himself. I vote yes!

Sadler and Hamlin slim down
#11-Denny Hamlin and #19-Elliott Sadler both have new looks for the upcoming NASCAR Nextel Cup season, but it has nothing to do with paint schemes. Hamlin hired a physical trainer in the offseason, and Sadler is hoping to lose weight and return to the size he was in his rookie season. Hamlin, who sported a slight bulge in the midsection of his racing uniform last year, said he already notices a difference. "I feel better than I have ever in just the short amount of time I've been doing it," Hamlin said of his workouts. "To me, it's more about working on those last 100 laps of the race when you need to dig down and get the most out of yourself. I felt like I was kind of slack on it last year." Sadler said he weighed 211 pounds in 1999 and had not been below that until now. Sadler weighs 210 pounds. He says he's lost 10 pounds since last year's season finale at Homestead and wants to lose another 10 pounds before this season begins. "I just want to be prepared mentally and physically the best I can to make sure I pull my weight," Sadler said. He says he is not on a particular workout program other than watching what he eats. "I can eat as much as anybody I think that you've ever met in your life," said the 31-year-old, who finished fourth in last year's Daytona 500. "I ordered two or three Big Macs at a time. I'd eat two or three steaks at a time when I go to a steakhouse."(Roanoke Times)(1-20-2007)
Dear writer at the Roanoke Times - OH DEAR LORD. Please work on your imagery. Cause making Hamlin dirty is wrong.
Also, Elliott needs to work on the whole eating right ALL YEAR LONG. Kinda doesn't work to just go about losing weight in the off season.

First, write down the names of 12 characters. Then read and answer the questions. You can't look at the questions (or click on the cut) until you write down the 12 characters you're going to use.
Done for NASCAR as Supernatural doesn't have enough characters.
1. Ryan Newman
2. Bootie Barker
3. Lars (Kenseth's cat - HE COUNTS)
4. Kasey Kahne
5. Brian Vickers
6. Jamie McMurray
7. Kevin Harvick
8. Elliott Sadler
9. Tony Stewart
10. Greg Biffle
11. Matt Kenseth
12. Casey Mears
1.) Have you ever read a Six/Eleven fic? Do you want to?
Jamie/Matt? Um...I've written them conspiring, others have written them conspiring, but I don't think there's Matt/Jamie slash.
2.) Do you think Four is hot? How hot?
Kasey is NOT HOT. He's a child!
3.) What would happen if Twelve got Eight pregnant?
Casey Mears gets Elliott pregnant! Elliott would be the most annoying pregnant man on the planet. LOL
4.) Can you rec any fic(s) about Nine?
*points at
tourofduty* ANYTHING SHE"S WRITTEN. Word.
5.) Would Two and Six make a good couple?
Bootie and Jamie Mac...um, YEAH. Because Bootie with anyone is hot. And Jamie is used to Virginians with accents who corrupt him.
6.) Five/Nine or Five/Ten? Why?
Ah hell. Vickers/Stewart or Vickers/Biffle. I'd have to go with the first, only because Vickers/Biffle just doesn't work in my head.
7.) What would happen if Seven walked in on Two and Twelve having sex?
Harvick walks in on Bootie and Mears having sex. Kevin yells "threesome!" and jumps in the bed. (I can fantasize, can't I?)
8.) Make up a summary for a Three/Ten fic.
Lars and Biffle! Ha!
Lars stalks Biffle. That is the entire fic. There is stalking. Possibly bloodshed.
9.) Is there any such thing as One/Eight fluff?
Newman/Sadler fluff? Please god, I'm begging...please let the answer be 'no'.
10.) Suggest a title for a Seven/Twelve hurt/comfort fic.
Harvick/Mears hurt/comfort fic - Curses
11.) What kind of plot device would you use if you wanted Four to deflower One?
Kasey Kahne deflowers Newman.
*spews drink*
Um...plot device is LOTS OF ALCOHOL. And maybe some chocolate.
12.) Does anyone on your friends list read Seven slash?
EVERYONE. For it is KEVIN.
13.) Does anyone on your friends list read Three het?
Lars het? Bwah! (How about Lars gen? Because yes, some of us read Lars gen.)
14.) Does anyone on your friends list write or draw Eleven?
Kenseth - yep, some do.
15.) Would anyone on your friends list write Two/Four/Five?
Bootie/Kasey/Vickers - um, no. But mostly because half would have trouble just sexualizing Kasey.
16.) What might Ten scream at a moment of great passion?
I can't picture Biffle screaming at a moment of passion.
17.) If you wrote a song-fic about Eight, which song would you choose?
"Home" by Marc Broussard
18.) If you wrote a One/Six/Twelve fic, what would the warnings be?
Newman/McMurray/Mears - RUN FOR YOUR LIFE
19.) What might be a good pick-up line for Two to use on Ten?
Bootie picks up Biffle - "Wanna see my tools?"
20.) When was the last time you read a fic about Five?
Um...not long ago. Either
bubblesbrnaid's fic or a drabble by
tourofduty.
21.) What is Six's super-secret kink?
Ooohhh, Jamie Mac's super secret kink - he likes to be talked to during sex. A lot. And the guy has to use an accent.
22.) Would Eleven shag Nine? Drunk or sober?
Kenseth and Stewart? Um...I'm hoping Kenseth would be drunk.
23.) If Three and Seven get together, who tops?
*chokes*
Lars and Harvick, first off, are NOT GETTING TOGETHER. But if they did, the cat tops.
24.) "One and Nine are in a happy relationship until Nine suddenly runs off with Four. One, broken-hearted, has a hot one-night stand with Eleven and a brief unhappy affair with Twelve, then follows the wise advice of Five and finds true love with Three." What title would you give this fic? Name three people on your friends list who might read it. Name one person who should write it.
Happy relationship: Newman and Stewart
Running off with someone else: Stewart with Kasey
One night stand: Newman with Kenseth
Unhappy affair: Newman with Mears (um, I'd say REALLY UNHAPPY as Casey wants to kick his butt)
Advise giver: Vickers
True Love: Newman and Lars (ROLLS)
Fic title? "France's Inferno" Cause it has many layers of hell.

Lars so totally deserved to be in there. I figured, why not throw him in since we've actually put him in stuff, you know? It would be like putting Kayle in. They have enough personality for it. *g*
