kentucky_event.jpgJoin us right here at 5:30 or so EDT for some Meijer Indy 300 LiveBlog action! All you need to join the fun is plenty of cold beer, a sense of humor, and a refresh button….more after the jump!


5:22 PM: We’re getting ALL pumped up now, having just finished building the kick-ass Official MoneyCJ MySpace Page with the help of MoneyDaughter! Wanna be my friend? Hit me on the email or on AIM at SoDamnIndy. Dan Wheldon, Jeff Simmons and the Chesson Bros were my first race-related friends. We’re all so tight it’s sick

5:40 PM: While we’re gearing up here, be sure to take a look at my Boy Jeff’s href="http://www.mynameisirl.com/2007/08/cheat-sheet-kentucky-2007.html">Kentucky Cheat Sheet. He’s bullish on Sam for this one. I happen to be bullish on Wheldon. Interesting that neither of us are bullish on pole-sitter TK nor Dario, who’s hanging in P2…should be quite an event this evening, my friends…

6:15 PM: We are firmly in place as the NASCAR event wraps up at The Glen…parade lapping…beer drinking. Ready for the Green, yo.

6:20 PM: Our old friend J-Lil gets air as the NASCAR Busch event wraps! Hey baybeee!! K….let’s do INDY now. Thanks.

6:30 PM: And we’re live from Kentucky Speedway–nice sunny afternoon for once this season–gettin’ ready to go Greeeeeen.

SoDamnIndy (6:46:31 PM): You pumped like I am for Lookin’ Sharp? P3!!!

SoDamnIndy (6:47:20 PM): I am really about to bust me out some Patron…

MyNameIsIRL (6:47:55 PM): Sharp has been up there on these ovals, but go easy on that stuff

SoDamnIndy (6:49:07 PM): TK’s driving enraged, as the p-dog would say.

6:55 PM: Lap 15 of 200. TK, Dario, Dixon. We go side-by-side for the awesomest commercial ever. You know the one I’m talking about…

MyNameIsIRL (6:50:52 PM): is it me or does Danica sound like she needs a team psychiatrist?

MyNameIsIRL (6:51:04 PM): like badly, before she jumps off a bridge

SoDamnIndy (6:51:26 PM): Yeah she’s gonna spontaneously combust sometime very soon…

SoDamnIndy (6:53:53 PM): Dude if my Boy Wheldon doesnt deliver tonight, imunna de-friend him on the MySpace. Jussayin’

MyNameIsIRL (6:54:36 PM): i think Scheckter has one - he could be your friend

SoDamnIndy (6:56:20 PM): I friended him. He’s not yet replied. Asshole.

MyNameIsIRL (6:56:42 PM): you’re just not cute enough

SoDamnIndy (6:56:52 PM): I expect IMMEDIATE replies.

7:01 PM: So far, so chill: it’s TK, Dario, Sam and Dan at lap 30.

7:03 PM: SHIIITTT! Sam spins on 36 and collects Wheldon. Both out. Well, Jeff…what’s it gonna be now that our picks are out, my friend? Arrrgh.

SoDamnIndy (7:05:54 PM): Oh dude.

MyNameIsIRL (7:06:11 PM): that’s two less drivers to beat Danica

SoDamnIndy (7:06:24 PM): dude, dude, duuuuhde….

SoDamnIndy (7:06:36 PM): OK, so who do u call it for now?

MyNameIsIRL (7:06:58 PM): uh - Dario?

SoDamnIndy (7:07:00 PM): Oh, and BTW, I ain’t sayin’ SHIT at
GoDaddy.com…

SoDamnIndy (7:07:14 PM): Sorry, just annoyed by the commercial.

SoDamnIndy (7:07:27 PM): OK, I’ll take….HELIOooooo!

SoDamnIndy (7:07:32 PM): We on?

MyNameIsIRL (7:07:38 PM): sure

MyNameIsIRL (7:07:51 PM): we’re already looking like chumps

SoDamnIndy (7:07:57 PM): K. Good luck. Bitch.

SoDamnIndy (7:08:03 PM): Haaaa!

MyNameIsIRL (7:08:04 PM): love u too

7:10 PM: Bre w Dan: He’s gonna get back out there. Roger P pledging that Sam’ll be back out in a few as well…”we need the points.” I need a BEER.

7:15 PM: It’s Dario, TK, Scheckter (!), Dixon and Helio at Lap 50.

SoDamnIndy (7:21:44 PM): Man, u see those bumps in the track?

MyNameIsIRL (7:22:16 PM): yeah. jimmy hoffa is buried in turn three

SoDamnIndy (7:22:23 PM): Dude, Lookin’ Sharp is really impressing me lately…pretty damn awesome.

SoDamnIndy (7:22:53 PM): Im gonna sip some Patron. BRB.

SoDamnIndy (7:23:40 PM): SHOT! GO SCOTT GO!

7:27 PM: We’re at 80 and it’s Dario, TK, Tomas, Iceman, Lookin’ Sharp, Helio and Princess Sparkle Pony…

7:30 PM: Class act and MoneyCJ fave Sarah Fisher is getting lapped all over the place, as usual. This on the heels of the news earlier that she won’t be back next year, at least with D&R…props to Sarah. We wish things had gone better this season and we wish her nothing but the very best…SHOT FOR SARAH!

MyNameIsIRL (7:37:00 PM): Dario slays me

MyNameIsIRL (7:37:09 PM): “Tell tk i could use some help here”

SoDamnIndy (7:37:28 PM): OMG…

SoDamnIndy (7:37:53 PM): What exactly is he looking for??

MyNameIsIRL (7:38:28 PM): i have no idea. maybe lift and block????

SoDamnIndy (7:39:48 PM): Ack. Hey, Tomas, Sharp and Quattro…I am impressed. You??

MyNameIsIRL (7:41:39 PM): Of course! do you think Pressdog is impressed?

SoDamnIndy (7:42:21 PM): He’s too busy wacking it to Sarah.

MyNameIsIRL (7:42:54 PM): Not much for him to get excited about today

SoDamnIndy (7:43:04 PM): Penske can’t get Sam’s car back out!!!

SoDamnIndy (7:43:30 PM): Dogs and cats are living together or
something like p-dog would say…

MyNameIsIRL (7:43:57 PM): that car was busted

SoDamnIndy (7:44:24 PM): But the Cap’n was pretty damn confident that his boyz would get it back out.

7:46 PM: We got a Beer Yellow at 127…

7:51 PM: Wheldon’s back out, 95 laps down or some shit like that. Still…pretty damn sweet. Something bad happened to Scott Sharp while we were drinking. He’s now back a bit…

SoDamnIndy (7:54:04 PM): OK, between the children being here, the drinking and keeping an eye on the MySpace page, I’m a little off. Where are we here and what are your predictions?

SoDamnIndy (7:55:06 PM): Man alive–the fast lap belongs to Danica at 218??

SoDamnIndy (7:55:14 PM): Did I hear that right?

MyNameIsIRL (7:55:29 PM): yup, she’s closing in

MyNameIsIRL (7:55:43 PM): sharp back on the lead lap

SoDamnIndy (7:55:47 PM): That’s fucking fast for KY, man!

7:56 PM: Dario still begging TK for ‘help’ on the radio at lap 145. Silence from TK is deafening. Have yourself a BigGulp there, Stereo…

8:01 PM: Lap 155….we got TK, Iceman, Dario, Tomas, Danica and Sharp…

SoDamnIndy (8:02:54 PM): Danica’s on fire.

MyNameIsIRL (8:03:36 PM): Vince just said she’s “working with her tools”

SoDamnIndy (8:03:42 PM): I mean, seriously…think of her skills versus those of Sarah and Milka.

SoDamnIndy (8:03:59 PM): Those two were the best thing that could have happened to her.

SoDamnIndy (8:04:43 PM): Can we not deny that she is clearly a top-tier driver? Up there w all our faves?

SoDamnIndy (8:04:59 PM): (I cannot believe I am suggesting this, but…)

MyNameIsIRL (8:05:17 PM): I can deny it until she wins

SoDamnIndy (8:05:32 PM): HAHA. OK.

MyNameIsIRL (8:05:57 PM): I mean, do we want 10 drivers on the top tier?

SoDamnIndy (8:05:58 PM): I’m just impressed w her. And I think she got totally fucked last week and that was really too bad.

SoDamnIndy (8:06:19 PM): There are not 10 drivers on the top tier.

MyNameIsIRL (8:06:22 PM): yeah, well see: meria, vitor

SoDamnIndy (8:06:53 PM): Point taken. I need a beer.

8:11 PM: 23 to go and it’s TK, Iceman, Danica (!), Quattro (!)

8:12 PM: DARIO HITS CONE HEADED INTO PITS. DANICA SPINS AND STALLS COMING OUT OF PITS! Track is Yellow with 19 to go…OMG OMG

MyNameIsIRL (8:12:26 PM): what’s going on??????

SoDamnIndy (8:13:36 PM): Oh God, here we go. She’s gonna cry again.

MyNameIsIRL (8:13:42 PM): would u like to rethink that “top tier” comment?

SoDamnIndy (8:13:52 PM): Fuck off

SoDamnIndy (8:15:17 PM): Dude, Brooke Patrick is HAWT. U think she’d dig me or what?

MyNameIsIRL (8:15:36 PM): if you keep saying her sis is top tier, sure

SoDamnIndy (8:15:51 PM): Nice. Will do.

SoDamnIndy (8:16:10 PM): Dude I dont understand what happened there…

MyNameIsIRL (8:16:44 PM): tire blew

SoDamnIndy (8:16:46 PM): She hit something or something broke. Oh man…

8:19 PM: QUATTRO in the lead at 186!

8:21 PM: Replays prove it–Danica’s right rear blew. Sorry, girl…

8:22 PM: Green with 10 to go. Quattro and TK are, like, GAME ON

8:26 PM: 3 to go. TK clearly realizes he’s got it in the bag, judging by the masturbatory gestures he’s making…

8:26: JESUS. Dario plows into Kosuke after the finish! Once again catches major air. Everyone is safe, but Dario looks pretty damn rattled. Replays convince me that it was Dario’s error…surprisingly.

OK, so the final looks like this: TK (good job, my man), Iceman, Quattro (Yeah!), Marco, Tomas, Sharp, Carpenter, Dario, Helio, Meira, Kosuke, Manning, Fisher, Hunter-Reay, Patrick, Wheldon, Sam.

Peace out, my friends…next up, SONOMA. Mad props to MoneyDaughter for helping me out tonight and to Jeffy for playing along on the IM!
