Giddy as a school girl

I mentioned the other day that Paul Menard was coming to town today for an appearance at the new Menards over in Moorhead. I left work at 4pm so I could go get in line. I guess I didn’t have to leave so early. I got there about 4:30pm or so and there were only 2 other people in line* … a guy and his kid. But I’m still glad I got there early. I  […]

Not just another myspace

For the past month or so on a Dale Jr message board I’m on, they’ve been talking about a new ‘social networking’ website out there. But it’s not just another MySpace. It’s built as a race fan community. And I found out last weekend that Dale Jr is a part owner in the site. Talk about cool. So, I took the plunge and signed up.

The site is called Infield Parking. They don’t currently  […]
