The OK Corral was in Tombstone, Arizona, not Texas. Oh, and who was that person who said "Gentlemen start your engines?" Roseanne? She dang near blew out my TV.

Joyisms(from Wikipedia)
"Overdrive" --Mike's term for the green-white-checker sequence that NASCAR uses to try to achieve a green flag finish when a race is under caution at the end of the scheduled distance.
"Now it's time for "Let's you see what you've got" time--referring to the end of a race.
"That car's just about gone"--referring to a wrecked car
"Here's Kasey Kahne coming like yesterday's train"--referring to NASCAR driver Kasey Kahne.
"The yellow line is your best friend"--referring to the yellow line on the bottom of the race track at Daytona and Talladega.
"A melee ensues"--referring to "The Big One" a wreck at Daytona or Talladega.
"The front cars are the fast cars. They are in clean air... behind them are the furious."
"If that wall has one more coat of paint on it, he hits it."
"This... changes everything" --when a caution comes out altering many teams' tire and fuel strategy.
"Money lap next"--the white flag
"The throne of the king"--referring to Richard Petty's Pontiac(now Dodge).
"Jeff Gordon has made no friends making his way to the front" --referring to NASCAR driver Jeff Gordon.
"What will they do?"--Mike wondering whether the drivers will pit or stay out during a caution period.
"It's right about that time"--toward the end of a race.
"The eye of the storm..."---Mike describing a pack of cars racing fiercely with high accident potential... while the "eye of the storm" is the calmest part of a hurricane, cars in "the eye" that trigger the wreck can often continue racing, while the cars behind them are swept up in the crash.
"20 years of trying, 20 years of frustration, Dale Earnhardt will come to the caution flag, and win the Daytona 500 -- Finally! The most anticipated moment in racing - if John Elway can win the Super Bowl, Dale Earnhardt said he could win the Daytona 500." -- February 15, 1998, when Joy called Earnhardt's Daytona 500 win.
"Have you ever?" to which Darrell Waltrip responds "No, I've Never!" --This series of lines was used after the finish of the 2003 Carolina Dodge Dealers 400, when Ricky Craven and Kurt Busch had a last-lap shootout and Craven, running second, finally passed Busch after many attempts, and won the race by .002 seconds. The line was also used at the 2007 Daytona 500 when Kevin Harvick passed Mark Martin on the final corner to win. This time Waltrip responded by saying, "Well, a couple of times."
"Put four wheels on a brick (or cockroach), and he could win races with it." --Mike describing Tony Stewart's driving skills.

These white/green finishes caused by a crash or a blown engine with only a few laps to go are getting very, very old and boring.

Yeah, but the right guy driving the right brand won the race!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Carl or Clint or Jr. Anyone of those 3 are the winners. If Carl keeps this pace the Championship is his this year or his to lose.

Jeff Burton still has the points lead, Carl should move up to about 8th, and my man Smoke is 5th!!!!!!
