The Super Bowl of Stock Car took a bunch longer than expected due to an issue (read pothole) on the track at Daytona. So the 500 seemed more like a 750 but alas Jamie McMurray had no complaints taking the checkered flag in the end. Also no complaints coming from our current fantasy Nascar leader Rubba Shoes father-in-law. Timmy and Rubba will check in with Scotty Dukes for an All-Star weekend review and they'll also hear from Isaiah live at the track in his clients (read Budweiser) luxury suite. The boys will also discuss Rubba Shoes new ride and why one of the Red Sox pitchers is now doing short track speed skating in Vancouver. That might be a mistake...we'll see. It's all here on the weekend wrap up on the Wicked Pissa Dude Podcast. Thanks for listening and have a great week.

Rubba Shoes went to the Gloves with Timmy and his Dad on Tuesday night and someone got punched in the crotch, can you guess who? Everything seems to be headed south to Florida right now. The Bruins skate twice down there before the Olympic break and Nascar is set to put on it's "Super Bowl" at the Daytona 500. Let's not forget that the equipment truck leaves soon and the Sox will open Spring training in a week. The guys check in with Scotty Dukes to see where some potential deals might be made by the Celtics before the deadline. He'll give his take on the Captains decision to make a go at the All-Star Game in Dallas. All that and a wrap on the world of fantasy sports is right here on the Wicked Pissa Dude weekend preview. Thanks for listening.

When you think of Vegas you think of Casino's, Elvis and Wayne Newton. Well this weekend NASCAR invades the city in the desert. Las Vegas Motor Speedway dubbed the Diamond in the Desert, will hold the Shelby 427 on Sunday. This is considered the home track of the Busch brother, they have been pretty successful there. Matt Kenseth goes for his 3rd straight win. Matt Kenseth not really known for winning races in the past, he has always been a consistent driver but wouldn't really win a lot of races.

In 2003 he won the then Nextel Cup Championship despite only winning one race that season. He did win 5 races in his rookie season of 2002, but wasn't too consistent that year. Now they look to finish races in the top 10 and accumulate points. We'll see how this season goes, will he stay consistently in the top ten or be erratic and go for wins. We'll just have to wait and see. For this race I would look for someone with the last name Busch to win, until next time, I'm Rubba Shoes Corey, keeping it real.

OK. Week two into the NASCAR season. It is off to Fontana, California for the Auto Club 500. Matt Kenseth enters this week in first place after his rain shortened win of the Daytona 500. Controversy over what Dale did and we'll see how that all plays out with him and Brian Vickers. The California track is the sister track of Michigan Speedway, which because of restrictor plates at Talladega and Daytona is the fastest track on the circuit. California is pretty close. We should see some good three wide racing going on today.

It is a late start for us on the East Coast. I think they are saying 5 PM but after what happen last week at Daytona (said 2 and didn't start until 3:40) I expect a 6 PM or later start to the race. OH well, got to get used to it. Carl Edwards will try to defend his win from last years race. Jimmie Johnson won the race at this track last August. Good luck to all in the WPDR Fantasy Nascar this weekend. I am trying to get my first win this weekend against my Father-in-law. Until next time I am Rubba Shoes Corey, keepin' it real.

I am so excited for the WGC-Accenture Match Play tournament. Tiger is back. I'll be watching and for that matter, I'll be watching every tournament that he is in. I don't really get into the tournaments unless Tiger is involved. Before Tiger, I would watch the Masters, U.S. Open, British Open and the PGA Championship. Now with Tiger back, if he is in a tournament going into the weekend I'll be watching.

I didn't get to see Jack or Arnie in their prime, so it is unfair for me to compare him to them, but he is the best I've ever seen, and will probably ever see. I have gone to see him play in person once and came away a bigger fan, than I was before I went. The power that he hits the ball with is unbelievable. The only person I saw that came close was John Daly. Which is pretty funny. If he could actually get himself into shape and get off everything, he could be one of the best on the tour.

The good weather is coming, Tiger is back, the Sox are in Ft. Meyers. That means my TV will be full time sports. The Sox which play just about every day, golf and NASCAR. Throw in a little LPGA which I watch just for the scenery. Well that's all I have for now, I'm Rubba Shoes Corey, keepin' it real.

Well, This is my first blog so be easy on me. I am a NASCAR fan. I wouldn't say that I am the biggest, I don't watch every lap of every race, but I do my best to watch as many as I can. I am a #24 Jeff Gordon fan, been one since 1992. That is when I lived in Virginia, while I was in the Navy. The Daytona 500 may have been the sports biggest race, but ever since they put restrictor plates on the cars on the super speedways, Daytona and Talladega, in my opinion they have tarnished both tracks. How can you say that the biggest race in your sport is one that can have one crash take out half the field. Because of this there are two different theories on how to take on these tracks. One is to get in front and stay in front, which is very difficult, because if you get hung out, you can go from first to twenty first in 2 seconds. The other theory is to hang back until less than a hundred laps to go then make your move. Well, neither has proved to be the way to go. That one mistake by someone that doesn't have a chance to win, can take out all of the top competitors. Then you have a bunch of nobodies racing for the biggest prize in racing. How can this be the Superbowl of NASCAR. For me, I would take either race at the Bristol, Tenn. track. Those are my two favorite races of the year. Well, that's all I have for now. Don't even get me started on our local track, Louden may be the most boring track on the circuit. That's just one persons perspective. I'm Rubbershoes Corey keepin' it real.
