Headlines....Doug puts Blue in the wall at MSR!!!!!!!!
Doug and Blue get the royal treatment at Motorsports Ranch Houston (MSR)!!!!!!11!!!!111!!!eleven
On Monday we took a trip into Blue's neck of the woods to MSR in Angelton. Leslie and the staff at MSR gave us the grand tour of the facility and even let us race some of the Karts.
Doug and Blue got to compete in a five lap Kart race. During that race Blue tried to pass Doug in a turn so as any good racer would do Doug spun Blue out into the grass and the cones and then kept going.
After Doug schooled Blue on how to drive they both got to experience the thrill of taking a real NASCAR car around the road course at MSR. Good times folks.

Katy's own Kristin Bumbera will be in Studio with us this Sunday 10/19/08
BUMBERA IMPRESSES NASCAR TEAM OWNERS
AT DRIVE FOR DIVERSITY COMBINE
IN SOUTH BOSTON VIRGINIA
SOUTH BOSTON, VA – OCTOBER 14, 2008 This is the second year that Kristin Bumbera has received an invitation to test in front of NASCAR team owners who will decide if she will drive for them in the Drive for Diversity program in 2009. Last year she was selected by Frank Jordan of Golden State Racing to drive a full season in the NASCAR Whelan Late Model Series where she earned 2 wins, 12 top 5’s and 14 top 10’s and currently holds the Late Model track record at All American Speedway of 13.69 seconds.
Kristin was the third driver out laying down a benchmark lap time for the remaining drivers. On lap 17 the right front tire suddenly blew out in the center of turns one and two sending her car into the turn two wall. NASCAR assured her that she would get the chance to finish her run because the accident was due to a mechanical failure and no fault of hers. Bumbera would showcase her resilience returning to the track and laying down another impressive run. Several team owners later let Kristin know how impressed they were with her determination calling her a “real trooper”.
Bumbera leaves the combine today very optimistic about her 2009 plans.

It's October folks and the end of the racing season is fast approaching us. The race for the chase is in full effect and the tempers are flaring. Just this week Kevin Harvick and Carl Edwards got a little fist to cuff in the pits and it made front line news. You can see the picture on Foxsports.com.
The boys in the NHRA are hard at it with the fastest qualifing field in Prostock history. 16 cars qualified this weekend at the Virginia Nationals between 6.554 and 6.59. Dave Connelly stole the win from Coughlin with a smoking 6.57 pass.
On today's show we had Steve aka "Steve Ferrari" in studio talking about Team Risi out of Houston and all that is involved in racing The American Le Mans series. Thanks for joining us again Steve. People start your radios cause its about to get bumpy. And a little exciting.
