One of the biggest change’s has been made to NASCAR’s most popular driver Earnhardt Jr. has been made. That change was the removal of Earnhardt’s life long crew chief, Tony Eury Jr. Rick Hendrick the owner of the team made the decision Thursday. What makes this so hard for Earnhardt is because their family. Me personally I think it’s the right move. Anytime you work with family it’s 10 times harder. Earnhardt Jr. hasn’t been doing well at all. And the man he replaced, Kyle Busch took a shot at Earnhardt Jr. He basically said that Earnhardt Jr. feels all his back luck is because of someone else. But from what I read, Earnhardt Jr. stated that he blames no one but himself. I think Busch is still a little upset about getting forced out of Hendrick Motorsports. But Busch shouldn’t feel that way anymore, he’s become one of the best drivers last year and this year. Busch is racing for Joe Gibbs Racing, which he was given a great team to work with. Anyway, I think Jr. will pull through this and maybe even one a few races before the years out, well see.
One of the newest rides in theme park capital of the world is coming to SeaWorld Orlando, FL. The new ride was created to give you the feeling of riding on the underside of a stingray, one of the oceans most interesting animals. The ride is called, Manta “ride the flying ray.” You can see a small clip of the ride in action within this post, or by clicking on the link in this post. And while your visiting their site make sure you inter their contest to win a front of the line pass. There are a few steps to take, but worth it. Now here’s your warning, by watching this clip it will make you want to go to SeaWorld and ride this ride, that’s how I felt. It brought back memories for my last trip to SeaWorld with the family.
Anyway, this ride is a flying roller coaster, and not for everyone. Roller coasters don’t always sit well with me, but this one looks worth taking a chance on. I’ve never been on a roller coaster ride that has you face down through out the ride. So this just might be a very interesting thrill ride for a lot of you, for me anyway. I know that if we’re down Hope you all give it a shot if your in the area.
Right now is one of the best times to take a little break from everything and getaway. At this point going anywhere with my wife would be great. We’ve been staying close to home lately because of an up coming closing on our new home. We have a June 1st dead line to be closed by, but we’re not sure if we’re going to close by then. It has nothing to do with us or the sellers, it’s the bank. The banks are so over worked that things are falling behind. So my wife and I are getting pretty stressed at this point. So a weekend getaway is coming. If your stressed and over worked as well one place to consider is for us to consider is the Hilton Promenade at Branson Landing. And in the same area is the Hilton Branson Convention Center Hotel. From what I read online these locations in Branson are loaded with things to do. I think my wife and I would visit the shops, boutiques, restaurants and take a nice river walk. I would also try to get to the new Payne Stewart Golf Club if there’s time. Anyway, this is just one choice, but a good choice, check them out if you live near them. You never know, it just might be the best weekend getaway you’ve had in a long time.
Today was a good day for Helio Castroneves, that’s because he won the Indianapolis 500, the best race in racing. This is the third time he’s won this top race in his young life. If he pulls it out and wins another Indianapolis 500 he will join the ranks with A.J. Foyt, Al Unser and Rick Mears. Considering he’s only 34 years old he just might pull that off. He could also become the very first person to win 5 or more. This win also creates a first for Roger Penske. Penske now holds the most wins has a car owner, 15 Indy 500 wins. And to think that Castroneves was almost sentence to 6 years in jail for tax evasion, which he was acquitted on those charges. And the government dropped the other charges against him as well. So I guess he’s had a pretty good month and a half, wouldn’t you agree?
