Memories will be relived, tears will be shed. Beers will be consumed.

The Surge, NASCAR Style
THe US Army currently sponsors the 01 Chevrolet in NASCAR Nextel Cup competition. The Army’s colors will appear on the famed #8 Chevy currently piloted by Dale Earnhardt Jr in the 2008 season.
From an “Army of 1” to an “Army of 8”? Yep, that’s a surge all right.

796 – Kevin Harvick, #29
797 – Jeff Gordon, #24

The race that sets the lineup for the Chase. Be there, or be square.

The Channel/Driver/Car grid for tonight’s running of the Sharp AQUOS 5001 shakes out like this:
795 – Tony Stewart, #20
796 – Clint Bowyer, #07
797 – Jeff Gordon, #24
798 – Juan Pablo Montoya, #42
799 – Dale Earnhardt JR, #8
I must head off to my fantasy racing site, hopefully to improve my team. Kurt Busch is peaking at the right time, and he’s on the pole; if the price is right, he’ll be on my team this week.
In the meantime, the race doesn’t start until 8PM EDT, the better for NASCAR to vie for prime-time ratings points. The business of NASCAR is business, after all. And there’s NHRA qualifying for the Mac Tools U.S. Nationals right now, on ESPN2. With six big hours of finals to be telecast tomorrow.
Good stuff.

Junior is back to his old 799 spot, and ready to go racin’. I have to trade off a few sad sacks from my fantasy team prior to the green flag.

One Year Without the Acidman
June 26, 2006 was the day I learned of the death of the legendary blogger Rob Smith, the Acidman. I read his blog always, commented a few times, and grew quite fond of the crusty old guy, even though we never met. His blog is still up; it was his wish that it remain so. It is maintained via several volunteers, who reprise Rob’s posts from the archives on nearly a daily basis.
His was one of the few blogs I read not offering full-text RSS feeds; still is. I still subscribe, I still read daily, and have been treated over the last year to posts I’d already read, and to some I never got to whilst trolling his archives. Some of them still move me enough that I want to hit the comment button and add my two cents; the A-Man was famous for replying to commenters vie e-mail.
I think I expressed my thoughts in a comment to an on-line remembrance after his death:
Hmm, my trackback appeared not to track. I’ve not been this sad about losing someone I’ve never met since the death of Dale Earnhardt. Peace and comfort to Rob’s family and friends. Thanks to all those who put this online remembrance together.

I came across another song from Rob, and post it here in his memory.
The original plan was to do this on June 26, but the day job has been taking its toll lately.
Anyhow, enjoy the Acidman’s song:
Still loved, still missed, still read.
