#7 Red Stag by Jim Beam LifeLock.com 400
Pre Race Report

• Daytona Recap – Robby Gordon continued his plate racing strategy of staying well away of the “big one” and finished Saturday’s race in the 22nd position. The #7 Mapei Toyota reached as high as the 15th position with two laps to go, but Gordon was the victim of a poor drafting position which ultimately placed Gordon’s Camry in harms way after being collected in the Tony Steward/Kyle Busch collision. Robby Gordon Motorsports looks to rebound under the lights this Saturday evening at Chiagcoland Speedway with Jim Beam’s Red Stag sponsorship on the hood.

• Buffy Waltrip begins new chapter – Having declared herself finally rid of her former husband and noted NASCAR moving chicane, Buffy Waltrip has announced the opening of her new self help web site, How to Live with an Effeminate Husband. Explaining the purpose of the site, Buffy said, “In today’s world where progressive philosophies are neutering the male population, I find it very important that women have a way to express their frustrations on a number of male-related topics. Having lived with the poster child for this phenomenon, I consider myself uniquely qualified to speak on the behalf of all frustrated and sexually dissatisfied women everywhere. Plus my 1-900-SPANK-ME site was no longer profitable.”

• Jeremy’s spoken – On Wednesday, NASCAR announced that it had asked an appeals court to ban Jeremy Mayfield from racing, alleging his addiction to “hillbilly crack” could lead to fatal consequences for other competitors. Current cup series points leader Tony Steward said, “Lets face it, Mayfield never had any kind of talent to race at this level anyway. If he needs a boost from a methamphetamine now and then to make him feel good about himself, who am I to say different. But if I see him on the track again, I’m going to go Kyle Busch on his ass faster than you can say Ricky Bobby.”

Robby Gordon quotes: “What can I say, Saturday’s speedway car wasn’t as good as the one we had earlier this year. So we’ll get some new tubing and sheet metal out and Johnny and the fellas in the shop will just have to cook up another bullet for me. In the meantime, we like our chances for a strong qualifying run in Chicago and I look forward to meeting all those hot Jim Beam grid girls in the back of their motor coach for a session of drafting practice, if you get my drift.”

Kirk Almquist quotes: “Man, oh man…did you see that bad wreck between the #18 and the #9? Wow. I haven’t seen someone taken from behind like that since Ned Beatty’s “squeal like a pig” role in the movie Deliverance.
