Trick my garage?

If I had an unlimited budget and was going to trick out my garage, I could let Garage Mahal and the DIY Network have free reign. Of course, I’d be more than happy to volunteer my space if it was their dime, too.

A couple in the Charlotte area (the mecca of racing on the east coast), had their ho-hum garage cranked up a notch or 800 by the network’s show and host Bill Goldberg. (Hey, didn’t he wrestle?)

Anyway, the show airs Friday, Dec. 3 at 9:30 p.m. on DIY. That would be Comcast 133, DirecTV 230, Dish Network 111 or Suddenlink 104.

Now, you might want to TiVo that and watch the NASCAR Championship Awards program on SPEED. It’s on at 9 p.m. Friday, and will feature Rascal Flats and that Jimmie Johnson guy.

Back to the garage, the renovated space includes: grandstand seating, surround sound, checkered floor, race-theme wall murals and power screen garage doors.
Oh, yeah. That would be sweet.

And the show will feature a look at Braun Racing and Great Clips Racing in Mooresville by tour guides Kasey Kahne and Jason Leffler.

The question: Garage Mahal at 9:30 p.m. or NASCAR awards at 9 p.m.? Hmmm.

Thank goodness for TiVo!

At least he had to work for it this time

Props to Jimmie Johnson. He won the NASCAR championship. Again. Again. Again. Again and, again.

At least he had to be on top of his game to do it this time.

And once again, I say...

Kevin Harvick was regular season champion and what does he get for that? Same thing Tony Stewart did for the same feat. Nothing. A big, ole nothing.

But that doesn't mean I can't have a little fun at Hendrick Motorsports HQ. All in good fun. The friends I went to the All Star race with are HMS fans. Laura was in 7th heaven there! And on Sunday, it was just the best for her!



This time next year, will we remember who won the race? Only when commentators tell us. Here's a hint:


Cousin Carl. He knows duck! He knows Jack! He knows how to win at Miami Homestead! Honestly, Roush guys gave him the car to beat all day.

But nobody will remember that.

Just Jimmie. Jimmie Johnson. 5-time NASCAR champion. All hail to Jimmie.

But Harvick was the one tagged to replace THE driver, The Intimidator.
