Well … the time has finally come (and time almost ran out). Tonite … I have officially launched TruexZone.com. It’s a website dedicated to the career of NASCAR’s newest star (and future champ ), Martin Truex Jr. I still have a few sections to add (like the forum and shoutouts) and improve some existing ones (like the weather center). But other than that … it’s all ready to go.

So … if you’re a fan of Martin. Or if you just wanna check out my latest project. Go check it out. Who am I kidding? I don’t care if you like Martin or not or if you wanna check out my latest project … JUST GO THERE … LOL.

If you do take a peek, let me know if you run across any problems so that I can fix them right up. And let me know what you think of the place too.

Ooooo … that just made my day. I’ve already renewed my fan club membership. I did on January 2nd. And since they’re sending out this email now, that must mean that they haven’t reached the 5000 mark yet. That should mean that I should be getting one. Woohoo!!! I can’t find anything of Martin’s around here. I thought I was gonna have to start buying stuff online (when I have the money that is). At least now, I *should* be getting a car. And I collect the 1/64 scale ones anyways.

And what brings me out of hiding?

Martin Truex Jr is a repeat NASCAR Busch Series Champion !!!!!!!

I’ve been pacing all day. He wrecked in qualifying and had to go to a backup car. During the race, he had to make an unscheduled pitstop for a loose tire, going a lap down. He got back on the lead lap and then made his way back up front. He didn’t win the race … but he won the championship.

Woohoo!!! I’m one happy camper.

Guess what was in my mailbox when I got home from work today …

Woohoo!! I was like a kid in a candy store. Or a little kid on Christmas morning. I knew exactly what was in that envelope before I even saw the return address.

What was in the envelope you ask?
