“I gotta go where there aint any snow
Where there aint any blow
Cause my fin sinks so low
I gotta go where it’s warm”
Sorry, but I needed that. February was long leaving and March 2010 has been a major strain. Buffett usually helps me.
Him, baseball and Margaritas.
And the line in that song about “fins sinking low” seems to fit right now. And not just for me.
The NASCAR Shark Fin has been trimmed to negligible height since the Great White sized rudders used at Daytona.
I thought I might have to find another post title idea. But it turns out, I’m too lazy. Shark Fin Soup stays.
If you haven’t stopped by the On Pit Row Facebook Fan Page on Tuesdays during the On Pit Row radio program, you are missing some pretty good stuff. This is a plug - sure - but we do have a blast. And live “Tweeting” during the live radio is dangerous.
Steve and I were debating whether “Jeff Gordon and Steve Latarte gambled too much on a two tire stop at the end of the race?”
We agreed that Latarte had blown the call. But when I wrote the update for the Fan Page and Twitter it came out…
“Steve and I agree that Steve Latarte blew..”
Not what I intended…. Actually it was alot funnier than what I intended.
We had Kevin Conway, driver of the ExtenZe Racing Ford Fusion for Front Row Motorsports on the show. Kevin is the current favorite for 2010 Raybestos Rookie of the Year, and a funny guy in his own right.
While answering one of our questions, Conway smoothly worked this into his answer…
“with the ExtenZe racing team, we try to do everything big…..”
Nice work Kevin. You’ll go far in this NASCAR gig with sponsor stumping like that.
Latarte and Gordon stumbled and Johnson and Knaus were there to shoot the cripple as they say in billiards. Don’t make mistakes if you want to win a Cup race in the J J era.

Jeff Gordon and Rick Hendrick need to get their checkbooks out and drag Ray Evernham out of retirement.
Not a bad idea brookbbb. But Ray says he’s done sitting on a pitbox.
