Just ask Michael McDowell, as he walked away from his #00 Aaron's "Dream machine" turned nightmare after what I would rank among the top 5 most astonishing wrecks in Nascar history.

This is a Dream Machine:

I got so scared watching that happen, I'm so thankful that Michael is ok.

I really didn't think that there were many pictures to choose from, so this is my only pick..

I just like the look of the cars.
Plus, Jimmie's front and center. Perfect.

I'm starting early this week (go me!) because this is one of my favorite tracks and I've been waiting all weekend to do this. And already I've picked out a few favorites...

Before:

Main attraction: I think it speaks for itself.
The only thing I dislike about Dale is the fact that he's a UNC fan. Boo! ;)

I don't know what it is about this picture, but I really like it.

Once again, I'm behind.

So far, this has been my favorite picture from the Atlanta race weekend... from the Cup side anyways.

Main attraction: All those pretty M&M colors.

I thought the pictures were as boring as the race. So I skipped.
