BLOG INTRODUCTION

Good Evening!

We attempted to start a journal using the journal feature on AOL. We have heard from several people that they are having difficulty reading and posting to our journal. The interesting thing is, all of those that are having difficulty are NON-AOL members. Interesting, huh. We also find it interesting that AOL's supposed great new feature where they offer their members free virus protection, only applies to anything sent to or received from other AOL members. Go figure!

At the suggestion of "Big Brother Blogger," otherwise known as Melanie's oldest brother, we are trying a blog site for our own ramblings.

For our first rambling, let me address our blog title. We talked about a couple of titles before this one came up, but this one seemed to fit quite well. We are in GR, and we are definately NASCAR Nuts! To illustrate this, our oldest son received a NASCAR racing speedway as a CHISTmas present. He wants to put on his own NASCAR race every Sunday until the next NASCAR season starts. He didn't get one in today. He said we would take it off for the holiday!

Well, that's it for now. Only 6 weeks until Daytona!

Yes! welcome to the REAL blogosphere! Not that silly AOHell thingie you tried first!

Now- the next thing to do is ditch the Blogger comments- these I'm writing in right now and add Haloscan comments to your page. Very easy, and much more universally friendly to your commenters. And a Photobucket account to upload pictures to so that we can see the stock car races in the living room for ourselves...

Give it a go, its fun. WE is 2 years old later this month, who would have guessed it?

The Daytona 500 is regarded by many as the most important and prestigious race on the NASCAR calendar, carrying by far the largest purse. Championship points awarded are equal to that of any other NEXTEL Cup race. It is also NASCAR's first race of the year; this phenomenon is virtually unique in sports, sportsbook, which tend to have championships or other major events at the end of the season rather than the start. Since 1995, U.S. television ratings for the Daytona 500 have been the highest for any auto race of the year, surpassing the traditional leader, the Indianapolis 500. The 2006 Daytona 500 attracted the sixth largest average live global TV audience of any sporting event that year with 20 million viewers. http://www.enterbet.com
