Hello!  I'm EXCITED!! If you haven't heard already, I'll be heading down Thursday morning to Phoenix.   Now if you know me at all, you know that any other time of the year I really hate Phoenix and only go there If I totally have to.    Obviously I'm way more excited to go when NASCAR is in town!!  
I kinda have a love/hate relationship with Friday night's truck race though, because according to Jayski, Kevin isn't racing it :(  That makes me sad.  He won last year!  And I still have some of his victory lane confetti! Haha.
Here's the layout...the red dots are where I'm sitting!  Foyt for 
trucks & Nationwide and Petty for cup!  Row 1!  Because I'm a dork and I like sitting in the front row :)

Well, let's get down to business, shall we??


Paint schemes to look out for:
-Ryan Newman is driving an AWESOME scheme with pictures of over 500 Army veterans where the camo part usually is, and also on the hood.  It's so sweet!  I just have to post a pic!  Photo credit: Jayski/Army racing

I hope I can get some good pictures of that sweet ride!! (Click it to enlarge.)
-Also, Dale Jr. is driving a Diet Mountain Dew car!
                           -------------------------------------------
Phoenix fast facts!:
-PIR is a one mile tri-oval, almost a backwards one if you will. 
-It held it's first cup race 11-6-1988, even though construction becan in 1964.
-Turns 1 and 2 – 11°, Turns 3 and 4 – 9°, Backstretch ("dogleg" lol) – 9°, Frontstretch – 3°
-Ryan Newman holds the qual record (He also won back in April!) with a speed of 135.854mph
-Tony Stewart holds the race speed record with a speed of 118.132mph
-Jimmie Johnson has the most all time wins, with 4.  Let's not make this 5 please, Jimmie! lol!

Well, I'm heading down Thursday morning and I'll be down there all weekend.  Wish me luck in OPERATION: Meet KEVIN HARVICK!!  It has to happen one of these days!!
