Some believe it, some say it's just old beliefs that never came true. Chris Fleming sure doesn't believe in any of it, and numbered his car 13 just to defy it. The one true believer, though, seems to be Tim Brown. He can't believe Chris Fleming would use that #13 on his car, " what is he thinkin' ? ". Tim Brown doesn't want any of those things which bring racers bad luck around HIS car. 

     A few scenes later, there is Tim's grandfather, outside searching all over the lawn for 4 leaf clovers to put in Tim's car to bring him luck. He comes up with 3, telling Tim, "This one's for good luck in the time trials, this one's so you draw a good starting spot, and this one's so you win the race." Well, very good Grandpa Brown, but there's just one thing none of you thought of: Those 4 leaf clovers are GREEN!!! Might as well put them in a bag of 13 green peanuts and toss 'em in the car!

     Now there's one other thing about this show that's rubbing me a little the wrong way. Does the "King", Junior Miller, really want to win races, or is his life now dedicated to hunting down anyone named Myers and dumping them? Does anyone in their right mind put all that work into getting a modified ready to race on Saturday night with the primary aim of dumping another competitor?

    Well, he accomplished it near the end of the race, dumping Jason Myers and getting 4th at the finish, so the 'family feud' can continue at Bowman Gray for another week.  Another week of Junior sitting around his shop, house, diner, whatever, ruminating about how he's gonna dump a Myers' and maybe win a race.  Meanwhile, about 19 others are out to do the best they can, win a race, maybe a championship, and old Junior only wants to wreck cars, and on the show at least, we never seem to see a black flag as the stupidity continues into next week.

    Overall, I am enjoying the show itself, as we get to see what is needed to prep the cars, repair the cars, tweak the set ups, and the financial end of things, especially for those trying to squeeze the most out of tight racing budgets. The program has been well received in it's first 3 weeks, leaving me to believe we are in for some rally good entertainment, and a little bit of racing education, over the last 10 shows of this series. I anxiously await the announcement that the cameras are back and shooting during 2010 at Bowman Gray Stadium!!!
