Thanx for the link. I finally had a chance to vote for my man...Johnny Benson!! It's about time he gets the credit he deserves. It's too bad that it took him this long to recover from being "ROUSHED".

Ok Here's the deal. Vote, then delete your cookies and Temp Files and then you can usually vote again and if you do it over and over, then our boy will win!
P.S I bet that's what Benson's doing, because nobody likes Benson!

now it's only 805 but still 4% differEnce, please revote for THE LONG ISLAND BOY. WHEN IS THE VOTING GOING TO END TO DETERMINE THE WINNER? ONE HOUR AND 25 MINS... 1 HR AND 25 MINS? 7 VOTES MEANS ..... .2823529 VOTES PER HOUR. SO ROUND IT OFF TO 3 VOTES PER HOUR AND IT WOULD TAKE.... ONLY 268 HRS TO BE IN THE LEAD (ACTUALLY 804 VOTEs) WHICH IS 11.16 DAYS. WHICH BRINGS US TO MAY 1ST SATURDAY (ONE WEEK AND ONE DAY FROM NOW) BUT WHO'S COUNTING ANYHOW??

It's in the 100's as of this morning. What I don't understand is, why can't we, as Long Islanders, support Steve in this, but have some here going against us voting for someone else. There are very few drivers I actually dislike and there may be someone else I like better in the division than Steve, but this is a support/teamwork thing for our own Long Islander. Think my point has been put forth.

Steve's visitors log has been out since at least January. If i could get on that,
it would be easy to contact him thru all the people that visit that sight. Think his Mom still runs the fan club, and monitors their site. BUT, the site says it will be back soon.

Walter, sorry I missed you down at Dover...I know you don't watch Truck races (thanks so much for the weather report, though). It certainly was disappointing to spend a total of 19 hours driving making two trips down to Dover for the Truck race to see Steve only get in 1/2 lap! My luck, though, if I had stayed home Saturday, he would have won the race and I would have been kicking myself in the kiester! :rolleyes:

He didn't get "Hornadayed"...Hornaday was already sitting in 2nd when the caution came out...Steve started 10th. The #12 truck of Robert Huffman got into Steve, got him squirrely and then ended up through the side of him, collecting quite a few other trucks in the process. A disappointing day indeed...

Yes that was one incredible turn around in the voting. Nice job by all.
Also his VISITOR LOG has been back on line for about a month know, if anyone stays in touch with him.

I understand that but why isn't on NASCAR.com or Jayski or even the craftsman truck site itself, I'll tell you why, because NASCAR is probably embarressed that they have there most popular driver sitting at home on the couch for the last 3 races when he should be on the track, so they are keeping it really low key...Hope he lands on his feet.

This from Jayski...

"Hornaday is most popular: For the second time in his Truck Series career, Ron Hornaday was named Most Popular Driver. The announcement was made Sunday, Dec. 11, during the Craftsman Truck Series Awards Banquet at the Portofino Bay Resort at Universal Orlando Resort, Fla. For the past 10 years, NASCAR has voted for the Most Popular Driver Award and concluded on different drivers each consecutive year. Hornaday has become the first two-time Truck Series winner in the history of the award. "I could not have been more surprised, I never would have guessed that I would have received this award...again," Hornaday said after the banquet on Sunday night. "It's such an honor to be voted Most Popular Driver by NASCAR and the fans over all the other drivers within the Truck Series that are well deserved. "I can't take all the credit for this, and want to thank Kevin and DeLana Harvick for the opportunity to drive their truck and my entire team for their dedication and hard work this season." Hornaday has earned this prestigious honor five times in his racing career in a variety of NASCAR's racing divisions. Including the Truck Series (2005, 1997), Hornaday has earned the title in the Busch Series (2002), Winston West Series (1994) and Southwest Tour (1992).(Kevin Harvick Inc. PR)(12-12-2005)"

Anyone have an idea of what went on here? According to "voting", Steve had this in the bag, or at least I thought :rolleyes:

I went to the source, ie, where we all voted. Apparently, that is not the "official" site for this type of vote, or that's how it appears to me. Heck, Kerry Earnhardt had more votes there than Hornaday.

According to the VISITORS LOG on his web site.
Steve won the TRUCKSERIES. COM most popular driver.
Ron Hornaday won the award that was given away at the Banquet...it's two different awards.
How the Banquet award is determined they dont say. And I haven't got a clue.
