A good friend helped set up with an all-access media pass for the Bumpshack. I arrived at the credentials trailer and picked up my press pass, garage pass, and pit pass for the Pepsi 300. I had a parking pass in the infield, so that was very convenient. I proceeded to go to the Media/Press Building. It was very nice, catered, press releases on all the drivers, stats, computer portals, big screens, and lots of TV and media people. I ran into Larry McReynolds, the former crew chief of Davey Allison and Dale Earnhardt, who now does the color commentary on Fox. I then took some bottled waters from the cooler, threw them in my backpack, and headed for the garages. I walked in and out of many stalls in the garage looking over all the cars. They were so peaceful, in their stalls all alone, calm before the battle they were soon to engage in. I took some photos of the cars, the haulers, the gas cans, and the crews, as I walked around the garage area. I met and talked to Carl Edwards, who won the Nextel Cup race in Atlanta the week before, and got some great shots of him. He is the next big star in the sport. I spent some time talking to the race girls, who were booked by the sweet lady who connected with the press pass. All really nice, sweet, sexy people. The girls had to be at the finish line for driving introductions, so we all hopped in a golf cart (I was in the dump-bed part of it) and we took off around the actual track, in front of the grandstand to the checkered line where the driver introductions and anthem was to be performed. I got some great photos of the drivers and Jamie O'Neal, who sang the Star Spangled Banner. I slowly made my way back to the pits where the cars were lined up and ready to roar. I got some great shots of some of the drivers as they got in their cars. I then watched the race from the pits. I was right there there kneeling in between a break in the pit wall. It is as close as you can get and as close as anyone would want to be to cars going that fast. It was great fun in the pits, watching the crews work so hard on the cars. It is such a huge production even on the Busch level. The race, as far as competition, was not overly exciting. Reed Sorenson started with the pole and dominated the entire race winning by over 14 seconds. Carl Edwards ran strong and finished in fourth. The win was the first ever for Sorenson, who is just 19 years old. I was able to be in Winner's Circle with Reed and his team as they celebrated the victory. I had always heard about how the winner of a NASCAR race had to change hats for all the pictures to please his sponsors. I assumed this was probably six or seven hats. Reed put on over 55 hats for pictures. There was a lady who would shape them and form them and then hand them to him. It was very humorous. I had a great day, and it was a great experience. I am very appreciative of those who set it up for Bumpshack.com. It was a historic day in the history of the Bumpshack.

NCAA Tourney Roundup: The Final Four is set.

Yesterday afternoon, North Carolina was able to hold off Wisconsin 88-82. In the other game, Michigan State beat a defiant Kentucky team in two overtimes 94-88. I was 3 out of 4 with my picks this weekend. Initially, I like Louisville over Illinois and North Carolina over Michigan State next Saturday. posted 12:35am by jholmes March 27, 2005 The Busch Series NASCAR race was great fun yesterday. I will be posting more about my experience at the race later on today hopefully. posted 10:14am by jholmes Updated Yahoo! NCAA Pick'em: Roll on Roller is in first places with 71 points.

NCAA Tourney Roundup: Two amazing games and incredible comebacks yesterday. Louisville was demolished in the first half and down 20 points, but Coach Pitino charged the boys up, and they chipped away at the game, and won it in overtime. West Virginia, with the big lead, changed their style of play and quit being aggressive and trying to score. Louisville won in overtime 93-85. #1 seed Illinois was dead in the water with just over 4 minutes to play last night. They were down 15 points, but they were not done. They outscored Arizona 20-5 to send the game to overtime. Illinois was able to hold off Arizona in overtime and win the game 90-89. Two of the greatest comebacks in the history of the tournament both on the same day. posted 8:47am by jholmes March 26, 2005 5 Big Love Myths. posted 1:33am by jholmes Judge rules that Multi-Millionaire husband must pay $40 million dollars to his serial cheating wife. posted 12:45am by jholmes My NCAA Tourney Quick Picks for Today: posted 1:11am
Yahoo! NCAA Tournament Pick'em Leaders: Pepper's Peppers continues to lead the field with 59 points. Roll on Roller and Rockstar are then tied for second with 55 points a piece. posted 1:00am by jholmes NCAA Tourney Roundup: NC State totally collapsed in the second half by getting out scored by 18 points. Wisconsin played tough throughout to pull of the win over the Wolfpack, 65-56. I missed that one with my quick picks. Duke, a #1 seed, was upset by Michigan State by a final score of 78-68. Paul Davis, of MSU, was tough on the boards and the free throw line down the stretch. As I sated with my picks earlier, I knew Duke was in trouble if Michigan State scored over 70 points. Villanova was down right dominating against North Carolina for a half until the Tarheels woke up. UNC then was in control until the last few minutes when Nova made it close. A very controversial traveling call went against the Wildcats. Allan Ray drove to the basket, hit the shot and was fouled, but not before the referee blew his whistle and called Ray for traveling. UNC won the game 67-66. I honestly thought that Utah would beat Kentucky or perhaps it was just my wishful thinking. Player of the Year Andrew Bogut, of Utah, had a tough time all game. Kentucky used two backup 7-footers who did a good job of fouling and putting the clamps on Bogut. Kentucky was never challenged and won the game 62-52. posted 12:23am by jholmes March 25, 2005 Good Friday to All Bumpshack.com has scored its first press/media pass. I will be writing about the Busch NASCAR race on Saturday and also providing the site with photos from the race.

So instead of constantly typing them out I thought I would post them on here. I mean that is what Bumpshack.com is for right? So here they are: It is not a federal issue, it shouldn't be in the federal courts. There are thousands of these cases, and it is clearly and always has been a states rights issue. I also believe it is the husbands decision as to what should be done with his wife. That is the law is in most states and even Florida unless I am mistaken. If there is a life or death decision the husband makes it. She has not improved in 15 years and her health care is costing millions of dollars. As parents, most people are blinded by their love for their child. Every parent would want to keep their child alive. However, parents do not always realize in actuality what is best for their child because of their abiding love and natural super attachment to those they have bore and raised. I would not want to be kept in the condition that she is in and most of us would not. I do not think her husband is a good guy from what I have read, but that is no reason to change the law. It is a state issue and should have been kept in the state of Florida. It is a very sad and tragic case. I can totally feel and sympathize with her parents. I would love nothing more than a miracle from God to make her get up and walk out of the hospice tomorrow. My prayers are with all involved on both sides. posted 4:43pm by jholmes Roger Clemens' son Koby should expect some high heat from his dad when he gets home from spring training.

I was 3 out of 8. It was a day of big upsets. Louisville and North Carolina looked the strongest of the winners today. NC State is also playing very good basketball. So from 64 teams we are now down to the Sweet 16. Which ever team amongst those 16 can win 4 games in a row will be National Champions. Any team that wins their next 2 games will be in the Final Four. I like Illinois, Louisville, North Carolina, and Utah to upset Duke to make the Final Four. posted 12:22am by jholmes Secret to Will and Jada's Marriage: Tell the other before you are going to cheat.
