Welcome, gay Nascar fans! What a big time we had watching the race this week! Dixie, Cherelle and I climbed into my big Buick and motored up to Woof's gay sports bar here in Atlanta, and what a Mary time we had! Our server was the charming John, who took wonderful care of us. And we really enjoyed the many screens showing the race. Woof's is the place for gay Nascar fans in the ATL!
Sunday's race at Dover Absolutly belonged to Ryan Newman: he started from the pole, led the most laps, and finished on top! Go, Ryan! This has been a tough year for Ryan, beginning with that "Flyin Ryan" crash at Daytona and continuing through his several DNFs.
There was lots of drama along the way on Sunday. Tony Stewart might have won, but he didn't make it into his pit box right on lap 138, and the penalty sent him a lap down. Later, Tony thought Ryan should give him his lap back, and when Ryan didn't, Tony bumped him in revenge!
Speaking of wrecking, what's up with Jeff Gordon and Sterling Marlin? Jeff got into the back of Sterling and wrecked him out Sunday -- exactly how the 24 wrecked out the 40 at the Coke 600 the week before! Fox even had the replays ready to prove it! From the garage, beside his torn up car, Marlin said of Gordon, "I don't know what's wrong with him.... We have to have a talk with him." Wonder what Sterling will talk to Jeff about, y'all?
Well, we want to congratulate Betty Jack's DeVine 91/2 -- our little fantasy team grabbed four of the top 10 spots at Dover, and we've got six of the top 10 in points!
TRACK YACK AT WOOF'S
We had a million laughs Sunday at Woof's in Atlanta. The best thing we overheard was this: A fun looking blonde gal told her beau, as she headed to the lady's room, "It's all this WATER I've been drinking, trying to be healthy -- my God, it's making me SICK!"
We're happy to report that later, after she had switched to Bud Light, she seemed much better and was happily playing "Quick Cash" -- (that's "Georgia Keno").
The TVs at Woof's all had the sound off, so the queens could listen to the disco music, which was wonderful, you know. The biggest TV had the captioning on, so we could read what was being said. Bless their hearts, the good people who do that on-the-spot transcribing work do make some funny mistakes sometimes! My favorite on Sunday was when the caption said something about "Wonny Labonte." We decided that Wonny is the slightly slow little brother of the other Labontes -- they let him jump in and drive a lap here and there because he gets such a big kick out of it!
FUNNY CAR MISTAKE OF THE WEEK
When we were driving on Sunday, we say a very sporty black car and Dixie asked "Is that a Monte Carlo?" Honey it was a Bentley! We all screamed -- think of the poor owner, if he finds out people think his Bentley is a Chevrolet! He will go all to pieces!
That's all for this week, race fans. Let's hook up trackside this Sunday for the Pocono 500!
Love,
Betty Jack DeVine
