Nobody was hurt, but it was so blatantly obvious that Carl intentionally wrecked him that it could set a really bad precedent. Tomorrow is Tuesday, so we&#8217;ll see what NASCAR says about. Carl got parked and called into the hauler. Carl drove the wrong way down pit road which apparently added fuel to the fire according to Larry Mc and Kyle Petty. From what I&#8217;ve read Robin Pemberton basically gave a &#8220;no comment&#8221; to the repercussions. He said they were going to have to look into what happened, but wouldn&#8217;t make a decision until Tuesday. Waiting and seeing we are. I&#8217;m using a new tool on this blog. A desktop publisher. Like a lot of people I hate using the wordpress interface. It&#8217;s way too javascript intensive for my liking. Yesterday I created a really long post and attempting to edit it with the interface was a real pain. This is a test run of this one and so far I&#8217;m liking it better. It can&#8217;t help the keyboard on my laptop &#8211; but other than that its much better to use it to enter text. The email idea was ok, but the formatting stuff was a pain. It unfortunately keeps the newlines at the end of every line in an e-mail for no reason that I can see, though I saw some formatting info that made me wonder if I could adjust it, but in the meantime, trying this.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Okay, so I&#8217;m hating the whole off-week scenario.
