Random NASCAR Stuff to talk about.....

DuPont will continue sponsorship of Gordon: DuPont's sale of its automotive paint division will not affect the brand's sponsorship of Jeff Gordon in 2013, spokesperson Jon Edwards confirmed Friday. Questions about Gordon's sponsorship arose last August when private equity firm the Carlyle Group announced it would acquire DuPont Performance Coatings for $4.9 billion. The deal is expected to close in the first quarter of 2013. "DuPont Performance Coatings, LLC. will be the primary sponsor on the #24 Chevrolet SS for 14 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series events in 2013. CromaxPro, a DuPont Performance Coatings, LLC. product, will be featured as a major associate in all remaining races," Edwards said in an email Friday. DuPont was also the primary sponsor for 14 races last year. According to Edwards the No. 24 DuPont car paint scheme and schedule will be made available in the near future. The sponsorship commitment ends after the 2013 season.

Jeremy Mayfield working on plea deal to avoid jail time in criminal charges


NEWTON, N.C. — After more than a year of legal maneuvering, Jeremy Mayfield is talking to prosecutors about possible plea agreements but said Monday that he would not accept any plea deal under which he would go to jail on drug and stolen goods charges.

The former NASCAR driver appeared at a hearing Monday in North Carolina Superior Court in Newton, N.C. The hearing took less than a minute and left the case potentially open for more hearings later this week.

Mayfield, who was suspended by NASCAR for a failed drug test in 2009, met with his attorney for about 40 minutes before leaving the courthouse.

“They are talking and hopefully we can get something worked out in the next couple of weeks and go from there,” Mayfield said outside the courtroom. “It possibly could (happen this week). Communication is open.

“But I wouldn’t be sitting here telling you I’m hoping … I go to jail. … I’m hoping we get it over. I will look at you right now and tell you no (to jail time).”

Sounds like a challenge, so here goes. I'm guessing many a clergyman has her poster on the wall, but I just don't go for the boyish good looks and pre-pubescent body. :D

My wife and I spent a good deal of time being around and shooting the breeze with her, mostly the wife, they talked about shopping and shoes and stuff. She is very different in person, funny, smart and also firecracker Hot. It was not meet and greet, it was extra time and a lot of fun.

That must have been pretty cool to chat with her when she wasn't under any pressure. I got to sit in the lounge of her hauler inside of the JR Motorsports shop last year and BS with the truck driver, but she wasn't there.

One time was at the 2012 Brickyard race the wife got invited to ride along in a badass new Camaro Convertible with her when she was doing a make a wish run for an 18 year old mentally challenged young man on the road course and my wife said she didnt have time to be scared because she was laughing so hard. She told my wife that she has never got the hang of pre and post race interviews because of the "stupid, dumbass and repetitive questions" and has a hard time trying to hide her impatience.
 
Gordon rolls Hummer in fourth stage

Gordon and co-driver Kellon Walch rolled their Hummer during the fourth stage of the annual race on Tuesday. The stage took drivers from Nazca to Arequipa in Peru.

Gordon had finished second in the third stage on Monday and was making up ground on the leaders. The rally website reported that they rolled the car onto its roof after an "over-optimistic" maneuver. The team got the car upright, but Gordon and Co. had trouble getting it restarted and lost several hours in the process.

His Twitter feed confirmed that Gordon had problems on the course.

This probably happened when Robby tried to cheat and take a short cut.

I repeat, if I had lost the use of an eye I would have lost my credentials to Captain a ship. It must be hell to fly a plane without any depth perception, what if the instruments go out?
