Bump linking on hump day

I'm Charlie Turner co-host of the syndicated, mostly NASCAR radio show On Pit Row. Thanks for stopping by OnPitRow.com and the Bench Racing with Steve and Charlie blog. Oh yeah, Steve is an idiot.

Untitled PostMan, NASCAR sure can jam a bunch of stuff in the four days between race meets.

First there are the post-race penalties, then testing at Phoenix followed by the parade of the previously penalized to their respective appeals hearings. Over the last few days, results of the appeals before the National Stock Car Commission have trickled out along with announcements by NASCAR of new penalties.

The rash of infractions involving loose or missing oil tank lids is creating a lot of questions about why these guys mess with something like a freakin’ oil reservoir cap. Well here’s a better explanation than I could give.

One of those vindicated - maybe spared would be more accurate - in the appeals process was Robby Gordon, an ON PIT ROW favorite. Marc sees divine intervention. While Thunder Lounge chief cook and code muncher Luke has a nifty Photo Shop take on Robby’s and Carl Edwards’ respective run-ins with NASCAR.

Mike Maruska, author of the fine Trouble in Turn 2 blog is running a series of interviews with NASCAR bloggers and he was nice enough to invite me to be part of it. You can read my interview here, but make sure you look around Mike’s site if you haven’t before. Mike knows what he’s talking about. He writes for One Bad Wheel as well, which is the place to go to get your NASCAR Fantasy info and to play Champs, Chumps and Sleepers, which is driving me crazy.

    Good interview Charlie. I read it yesterday. I like how you and Steve met.

    You are right about Mike, he does know his stuff.

    By doing this blogging thing, by visiting & commenting on our sites, and by having some of us on your show, you and Steve have given us NASCAR bloggers some credibility.

    Thank you.

    Take Care.

    Hey Bob, you’re welcome. But it’s Steve and I that get the most out of our blogging contacts. Serious bloggers like you and Mike are as passionate about NASCAR as anybody we come in contact with. I usually describe ON PIT ROW as a mostly NASCAR show and we have tried to keep it focused mostly on NASCAR even when our own interests start to drag us off track. We have some great journalists on the show regularly and I respect them greatly, but I do not respect them any more than I do you and Mike and everybody else whose blog or site is listed in our blog roll or racing websites links. NASCAR news coverage is better than ever partly because of the quality of the people writing on a regular basis on the net.

    OK - off the soapbox. If you guys ever need anything from us just ask and we’ll do our best to help out. The new design at “NASCAR Ranting and Raving” looks great too.

    And thank you.

Got something to say?
