Over The Wall

Wife penalty box

By Dennis Terry

By now everyone has heard more than they care to about the altercation at Texas between Busch and Biffle's girlfriends.

Now it looks like NASCAR is going to hand out a suspension and possibly a fine for Nicole's trip to Busch's pit box.

I didn't think that it was that big of a deal, but the whole incident shows you just how passionate and involved wives and girlfriends are when it comes to supporting their racers.

It's really not that different with pit crews.

Our wives sacrifice a lot and they are usually just as passionate as Biffle's girl when it's time to race. Granted, we aren't pulling in the seven- and eight- figure salaries like the drivers are, so getting crashed doesn't have the same impact on our checking accounts.

But my wife is from south Georgia and she is as feisty as they come. She was watching the Bristol race a few weeks ago when Tony Stewart ended our day just as intentionally as Busch did Biffle's.

She didn't march down to the Home Depot and cause a scene on national TV, but she did toss my DVD remote across the room, breaking it and something else that left a purple stain on our carpet.

Therefore, I've adopted a similar NASCAR rules policy for home.

For actions detrimental to our household appliances, she receives a one-race suspension from watching the Phoenix broadcast. Also, there will be a fine of one new remote control and some carpet cleaner… maybe she can pick up both at the Home Depot.

Att. Mooresville

   OK, just got in from an early vending route and had to write about my latest experience in Race City USA.  This is to all the people who drive the pimped out Honda's and Jetas.  The ones that have the loud mufflers to make there car sound like a swarm of bees following it.   Just because you live in Mooresville, NC, which is dubbed as "Race City USA", does not make you a race car driver.  Now I know my vending truck is slow, and i know you guys love racing down the high way to see how fast your little cars can go, but the next time you pull up to me three wide on I77, which is a two lane highway, you might end up in the fence.  Then you can take your little car back to the garage and repaint that ugly ass green and re attach the spoiler that was built out of wood.  If you want to race cars so bad go down to Charlotte to the indoor karting facility and race your balls off, but don't do it on the highway.  OK, i feel better now.
