I really do feel like it sometimes...Like yesterday...Melissa, Haley, Brian, Carla, Brooklyn, Bubby, Kyli, mom, and me were here...It was like rush hour in a public bathroom...It was crazy, but it was funny....Me and the kids were playing this game where you can't touch nothing, or no one...If you do, then you have to spin around 1 or 2 times...It was funny, until bubby slipped, and slammed his head into the concrete floor. He's a Stone, he's ok...LOL!

All the kids have had or have strep throat...Great! That's the last thing I need...I'm praying I don't get it...:(

FELICIA GOT A DEER!!!!!!!!!!!!!
She so isn't excited...I thought she was going to cry the other night, on the phone...She almost had me in tears...Dork! I have killed a rabbit, and went squirrel hunting...BUT I couldn't shoot a deer...They are to purtyful!

I'm trying to decide if I want to start putting in applications...Maybe then my stupid sister will keep her damn mouth shut...So, fruckin' sick of her this week...




Kyle Busch wins in Phoenix


Phoenix, AZ (Sports Network) -
Kyle Busch captured Sunday's Checker Auto Parts 500 at the Phoenix International Raceway. The No.5 Hendrick Motorsports Chevrolet driver took the checkered flag 0.609 seconds ahead of runner-up Greg Biffle.

The victory was Busch's second of the season and second of his Nextel Cup career.

Youngster Denny Hamlin brought the field to the green flag for 312 laps of racing and, in fact, led the first 15 laps before yielding the top spot to Biffle.

The pole winner, Hamlin, retook the lead after a good pit stop from his No.11 Joe Gibbs Racing team on lap 31.

In the "Chase for the Nextel Cup" competition, Tony Stewart, Jimmie Johnson and Carl Edwards were all among the top-10 after the first 50 laps.

Biffle grabbed the lead once again four laps later and quickly moved out to more than a two-second lead.

Stewart began to slowly move through the top-10 and by lap 80 was up to fourth place behind Biffle, Kevin Harvick and Hamlin.

Biffle's lead was 3.483 seconds when Dale Earnhardt Jr. crashed hard into the outside wall on lap 113. It ended the defending Checker Auto Parts 500 winner's day.

On the restart, Biffle again moved out to a big lead and Stewart continued his march to the front, passing Edwards for third place as the field passed the 125-lap mark.

At the midway point, Biffle's lead was 2.791-seconds over Harvick. Stewart and Edwards were third and fourth, respectively.

Stewart finally got around Harvick for second place on lap 164 and set his sights on Biffle who was still two seconds ahead.

Biffle was so dominant that he clinched the 10-point bonus for most laps led on lap 180.

On a caution flag with 121 laps remaining, the entire field came down pit lane, but on different strategies. Some drivers took just two tires in an effort to get track position while most of the leaders chose to take four tires.

That left the faster cars stuck back in the field. Biffle came out fifth with Edwards and Stewart just behind. The new leader was Jeff Gordon with Rusty Wallace second, Brian Vickers third and Elliott Sadler fourth.

But Biffle was still the class of the field and in four laps had moved underneath Sadler and Vickers for third place. He went past Wallace for second place and just had Gordon between himself and the lead.

Biffle grabbed the lead on lap 216 as his newer tires easily allowed him to move under Gordon as they came out of turn four.

Following a Jimmy Spencer/Mike Skinner accident, a couple of the leaders came to pit lane thinking they could make it to the finish line without another stop. The list included Gordon, Johnson and Vickers. Johnson restarted in 16th place.

The rest of the leaders pitted on lap 229 leaving Busch with the lead and Biffle stuck in 14th place.

Time was running out and Biffle wasted no time in charging through the field. He was 10th on lap 235 and fifth just 11 laps later.

On the next caution flag, some cars including Scott Wimmer stayed on the track while most cars pitted for new tires and adjustments.

Wimmer inherited the lead with Dave Blaney and Gordon just behind. Biffle taking four tires came out in 10th place.

Biffle was flying and in five laps moved into sixth place. He passed Johnson for fifth with 47 laps to go. The No.16 slid underneath Blaney for fourth place with 45 laps remaining. He took Gordon on the outside for third two laps later. His car worked on the bottom or the top of the track.

Biffle made it by Wimmer for second place and had just Busch between him and a checkered flag.

Stewart was also moving up, not letting Biffle or Johnson gain any points. He was in fifth place with 35 laps to go.

Biffle got his man with about 30 laps to go, but Busch wasn't going away. He stayed underneath the No.16 and with 28 laps to go retook the lead. Biffle settled in behind Busch and waited for the right moment to move again.

"It was great racing with Biffle that was pretty cool," said Busch.

It was a two-man race with third-place Gordon more than three seconds behind the leaders.

Busch's lead was 1.013 seconds with five laps to go and it was time for Biffle to show what he had left. He cut about half-a-second off Busch's lead, but that was a close as he could get. He could never get close enough to make a passing attempt and had to settle for second place.

"I had to use more tire up than I wanted to get there," said Biffle. "I had to start back in 14th (on the restart)."

Gordon, Stewart and Bobby Labonte completed the top-five.

Stewart's fourth place finish means he takes a 52-point lead over Johnson going into the season finale.

The final race of the 2005 Nextel Cup season is set for next Sunday at the Homestead-Miami Speedway.



Unfortunely, I didn't get to see the end of the race...Good for Kyle!
