Happy anniversary, honey!

I was able to get a few of you subscribed manually to the new Google Groups Stock Car Gazette mailing list before they started smacking my hand for doing so, so you might notice your Stock Car Gazette is slightly different this morning.

EVERYONE who is on the Google Groups mailng list by Wednesday, September 10, is ELIGIBLE for the contest, regardless of if you subcribed yourself, or if I subscribed you manually. Just thought I’d clear that up.

If you receive duplicate copies of the Stock Car Gazette, don’t panic. Drop me a note and I’ll take care of it.

THANKS TO ALL FOR YOUR PATIENCE DURING THIS TRANSITION (and it ain’t over yet).

Check out all the latest NASCAR news, right here in the Stock Car Gazette. We may not be the biggest, but we do try our best to be the best.

As with most Silly Season announcements made this season, the unveiling of Joey Logano as Tony Stewart’s replacement in the No. 20 Home Depot Toyota was no secret. Joe and J.D. Gibbs held a press conference Monday afternoon to announce the 18-year-old driving prodigy’s promotion to the Sprint Cup Series. Joe Gibbs Racing also announced that Greg Zipadelli will remain as crew chief of the No. 20 team and that Home Depot will continue to sponsor the team, something it has done since Tony Stewart joined the Cup Series since 1999.
