Change of plans...I wanted to go with my boyfriend Kasey Kahne but I think I will pick Carl Edwards this week. AH THIS IS SUCH A HARD DECISION! I know who is the most consistent and I want to pick him but it is just so STRESSFUL!

So you are picking Carl Edwards, then? Just wanted to make sure I get the pick correct.

As long as Kurt can keep his temper in check and not try to take out anybody's crew guys this week that should be a good pick Gidget. Just hope he stays away from my Tony this weekend,though.

Did anyone see that show last night on ABC..."Fast cars and Superstars"? It's a new "reality show with stars (athletes, actors etc) driving NASCAR cars at the Lowe's speedway.
LOL...Kurt Busch was there last night "training" Laird and Elway and one of the Williams sisters. LOL...now I know who my guy is. I like Kurt Busch! He was a good coach to the stars. I wish he were going to be on every week.

No, I didn't see it Gidget, but it sounds like it was fun to watch.

No worries .. You are doing a great job on this game! I did see that the guy I picked in a previous race won this one, ha! Like they say .. timing is everything!
