Diecast Dude, of Restrictor Plate This is getting over his bout with the flu, and is celebrating his blog’s first anniversary:
Last night, as I was attempting to assemble a marching order for whatever brain cells lately haven’t been ow my back and/or coughed into uncomfortable numbness, it occurred to me that I was missing some kind of event, although exactly what that might be escaped me.

The NASCAR Ranting and Raving Blog presents a contest:
The “Daytona 500: 50th Anniversary” DVD Give Away
Well, here is the contest. Read the rules carefully and make sure you follow them correctly.
