Double checked the programming on my TiVo which did say that Race Day was suppose to be on. If there was some sort of crawl explaining what had happened, my sleepy eyes missed it.<BR/><BR/>So I turned on my computer wondering if something terrible had happened to cancel the race. No big headline on cnn.com. Went over to jayski and got the answer lol!!<BR/><BR/>The drinking monkey apalled me, but for a different reason. Doesn't take much beer to kill an animal that small!! The monkey's owner was lucky that they cancelled the elephants due to PeTA's planned protest.

Why a race fan would bring a monkey to the track is actually the biggest question, I won't even get into the posibility of giving it beer. I've seen dogs at Dover and I couldn't understand that one either. Speed showed the monkey with a mike at the end of VL (rearview mirror piece) that part was funny. I wish Wendy could get back to walking the grid on RaceDay it's one of the best parts. I wonder how long the prerace will be for ESPN, I assume they will not go head to head this year so we may not see it again until next season :(Newracefanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16324764517098771035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-22386959338442028072008-06-29T20:56:00.000-04:002008-06-29T20:56:00.000-04:00JohnSlight correctionKenny Wallace was aregular pa...John<BR/><BR/>Slight correction<BR/>Kenny Wallace was aregular participant in the old Inside Winston Cup on SPEEDVISION, not Speed<BR/><BR/>Speed was just a misfired synapse in a Fox-o philes alcohol addled brain back in those daysAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-60468213159043817262008-06-29T20:42:00.000-04:002008-06-29T20:42:00.000-04:00JD, I wasn't able to watch or record the show toda...JD, I wasn't able to watch or record the show today but your description reminds me of old state fair pictures where they staged real train wrecks for the entertainment of fairgoers.
