Stacy Compton drove the number 60 SafeAuto Chevy Silverado to a 6th place finish at Iowa Speedway yesterday marking his best finish so far this season.

“This will only be the second time I’ve ever been to Iowa Speedway and I’m really looking forward to it,” Compton said on returning to Iowa Speedway.

This second time around proved to be helpful as Compton jumped 10 spots from last year’s finish. Perhaps, the third time will be the charm at the 200 lap, 175 mile track in Iowa.

Be sure to follow Stacy and the number 60 Chevy Silverado truck this Friday, 7/16 as the team heads to Gateway International Raceway.

In an official (made up by me) statement given by Compton, he wants to let the other drivers know that “if you smell a delicious crispy smell after the race, it’s not your tailpipe; it’s a little bit of shake ‘n’ bake!”

After lasts nights “debacle” “decision” basketball has been running through my mind all day, even more so because I am a diehard Cavs fan.  To help ease my pain and suffering I have comprised a list of NBA players and their car comparisons:

1. Derrick Rose:  Rose is quite frankly (excuse the Steven A. Smith pun) the fastest guy in the league.  No one goes from 0-60 quite like him which is why Derrick Rose is a Bugatti Veyron.  The Bugatti Veyron tops out at about 268 mph and Rose sprints end line to end line just as fast.

2. Grant Hill: Lexus LS600.  Much like Hill the LS600 came out with high expectations and lived up to the hype.  Over time however, Hill has broken down and in a similar fashion the Lexus has been recalled.  But, to Hill’s credit, he is a three-time Sportsmanship Award winner.

3. Shaquille O’Neal:  When Shaq is on the train tracks, it is in the defenders best interest to let him “steamroll” through.  That’s why O’Neal is an H3 (filled with Diesel fuel of course) because Shaq overpowers his defenders with brute strength and force.

4. Dwight Howard: Da-wight (as pronounced by Charles Barkley) is just as powerful as a Hummer but he is so athletically gifted that Superman compares to a Cadillac Escalade Hybrid.  He has the athleticism of a guard, with the size of a center (hence hybrid).

5. Nate Robinson: Smart Car.  He’s really small and can dunk.  Smart Cars are really small and can be dunked.

6. Andrea Bargnani: Nothing says European like a man-purse.  Nothing says “Italian transportation” like the Vespa.  I can just imagine the 7-foot Italian cruising around Toronto in his Vespa with 9-inch spinner rims…and a man-purse.

7. Dirk Nowitzki:  To be 7-feet tall, German, have the ability to shoot from anywhere on the court, run the floor and defend is quite the luxury to have if you are the Dallas Mavericks.  The Mercedes Maybach is quite the German luxury as well.  Just seems to fit together, wunderbar!

8. LeBron James: For LeBenedict, let’s go with a Lamborghini Murcielago:  It’s powerful, fast, well put together and ultimately, it’s more fun to drive in South Beach than Cleveland. :( :( :(

Finally, after years of military research and technological advancements, they’ve done it. Ladies and gentleman allow me to introduce you to man’s new best friend, and no it’s not a dog. It is the appropriately named “Toilet Go-Kart.”

Topping at 32 mph, the now-portable-porcelain-throne is perfect for long road trips. The Toilet Go-Kart is designed for people to go, on the go. Equipped with two coolers at the back, and toilet paper off to the side, this “vehicle” would be the perfect addition to Tim “the Tool Man” Taylor’s “Man’s Bathroom.” All that’s missing is a 32-inch flat screen TV to watch football and the new Xbox 360.

When man invented the Porta-Potty I wonder if they thought the portable toilet would actually become portable. To the maker of the Toilet Go-Kart, I salute you. This Go-Kart would have been perfect for Wendy Phillips. Still not sure if the Toilet Go-Kart will need auto insurance, but we’ll keep you updated. It’s safe to say this toilet on the go is number one, and two, in our books.
