Where Is Everybody?

Well, that's a bummer. I create the World's One Billionth Blog and nobody cared enough to join me in celebration. Still, I will keep my promise made yesterday. I will give you five drivers for the Nextel Cup race today at Atlanta. Remember, I'm not there, I am here (to the ladies at the Pink Pony: sorry, no extra cash pouring in from the Sunshine State this weekend. I'll try to double my efforts with my next visit).

Anyway, my Top Five Guys in today's race. Are you paying attention???
1. Jimmie Johnson (he's just too hot to ignore)
2. Greg Biffle (ready to win)
3. Bobby Labonte (how about a feel good story)
4. Ryan Newman (fastest driver in NASCAR today)
5. Kevin Harvick (this guy really needs some wins)

And a darkhorse pick: Joe Nemechek (nice guy, due for a good break)

Just to pat myself on the back, I picked Toyota to win the Atlanta Truck race and guess what? "The Onion" came through for me. Todd Bodine. I appreciate him making me look like I know what I'm talking about here.

As for the chicken wing recipe, here goes:
Get some Texas Pete Wing Sauce and dump about half a bottle over a couple of dozen whole chicken wings. Now dump a bunch of garlic power -- not GARLIC SALT -- garlic powder in there and let it sit in the fridge for a couple hours. Throw those wings on a hot grill and you got yourself some kind of good to eat. AAAEEEE!!! (That's Cajun callin' for "That's good!") Now to be fair, my buddy Ken gave me half the recipe (the wing sauce). I came up with the garlic powder part.

You got some solid pool picks for the NASCAR race and an easy BBQ recipe. What more do you want??? For Godsakes, I spent the whole day (OK, 4 hours) doing yard work. I'm one old, tired dude right now. I need a Bud Light and I need Duke to keep winning in the tournament (know what I mean??)

Remember. This is a work in progress. I'll be covering many topics as we go along. Jeff Gordon, Dale Earnhardt Jr., stocks, NASCAR Nextel Cup, cookin', understanding females and a lively discussion on the difficulties of having one foot bigger than the other.

That's me, in the middle of the mob, with the cap on, getting a "one on one" (huh?) interview with Bill France. 

One Billionth Blog Created Today

I'm sitting here watching the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series race at Atlanta Motor Speedway (I'm not there, I'm here, in my livingroom) and I had my laptop, well, on my lap, and I decided this would be the perfect time to create the World's One Billionth Blog. Topic: Racing (and other things that float through my brain, that is, if I don't fall asleep during the telecast).

Anyway, it's good to be here. I hope Godwin Kelly's World Of Racing and Other Oddities becomes a good Cyberspace Neighbor (man, a whole lotta mailboxes on this street). Racing is self explained. The oddities will range from backyard BBQ recipes to blond jokes and to the stocks I'm trading that day, most you will surely avoid!!!!

I will tell you that as I type this I am fully clothed and sober. You may not be that lucky on my posting.

Who will win tonight's race? A Toyota of course. Who will win Sunday's Nextel Cup race? Let me know what you think. I will return Saturday and give some names so you can score in Sunday's pool.

The dog needs to go out. I'll be back tomorrow to continue this Internet Journey with a really good chicken wing recipe. I just thought of that while watching Mike Skinner's truck spit up a ball of flame. Mike's OK. He looks a little pissed off. I would be a little pissed off too if my Tundra had just been charred.
