A weekly (or so) comic mingling on/off track news, pop culture, and the occasional theological reference.

Mini bio: Husband, father, Christian, scientist, professor, NASCAR fan, trying to imagine who I will root for if Harvick ever retires (before I "retire"!)

Me, Whining

Working on my next comic. But I needed to vent. <cue: OK, let's vent.>

Thinking up comics is harder than before because: this year NASCAR is friggin' boring!

When I did my string of comics during the chase in 2006, they practically wrote themselves!

Topics in the news included:
  • The Erin Crocker-Ray Evernham saga.
  • The Ray Evernham-Jermy Mayfield fallout from the Erin Crocker-Ray Evernham saga.
  • One of the most newsworthy crashes in history: Vickers winning his first race by taking out Johnson and Jr. at Talladega.
  • RCR being accused of cheating following Harvick's win at New Hampshire.
  • Robby Gordon losing tires again.
  • Robby Gordon throwing stuff out of the window to get a debris caution.
  • The pending COT.
  • A service truck still on the track when the green flag was waved.
  • Tony not making the chase.
  • Edwards going after Jr. following a Busch race.
And more. Not to mention the commercials were better--with the All State girls. And "I'm so glad we brought Kevin Harvick on our vacation."

This year--nothing. Not good commercials. No controversy. No fights. No cheating. Bleh.

OK, I'll stop whining.

Cheer up. The season is young, and there will be plenty of Shrubbyisms to come.

You have to do something on the friggin' Digger (and his family, maybe)!

Ooh, ooh, and the Larry Mac, Steve Byrnes and Jeff Hammond goofballs. How corny can they get? Go figure, ol' DW is the "normal" one of the bunch.
