CONCORD, N.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Roush Racing announced today that DISH Network(TM) has signed on as a primary sponsor in the NASCAR Busch Series and the NEXTEL Cup Series, with additional status as an associate sponsor on all Roush entries.
ADVERTISEMENT


DISH Network will have a team representative in all 35 Busch Races in 2007, alternating between four Roush Busch teams. Greg Biffle will drive the No. 16 DISH Network Ford Fusion in five NEXTEL Cup races in 2007, the first of which will be at Pocono Raceway in June. When DISH Network is not featured as a primary sponsor, they will appear on each NEXTEL Cup, Busch and Craftsman Truck Series entry as an associate sponsor.

An array of drivers from each Roush team will form the "DISH All-Stars." Driving for DISH Network in 2007 as part of the "All-Star" team will be Mark Martin, Matt Kenseth, Greg Biffle, Carl Edwards, Jamie McMurray, Todd Kluever, Danny O'Quinn, Jr., Erik Darnell and Michel Jourdain, Jr.

Mark Martin will kick off the season for DISH Network in the February Daytona Busch race. Martin will be behind the wheel of the DISH Network Ford Fusion twice in 2007, the second of which will be the spring Texas race. The remaining "DISH All-Stars" will split time behind the wheel throughout the season.

"We are proud to have DISH Network on board with us for next year," said team owner Jack Roush. "Having them involved as a primary sponsor in our Busch Series programs is a real honor and hopefully we will put them in victory lane several times throughout the season. On behalf of everyone at Roush Racing, I'd like to welcome DISH Network to our team."

Bobby Billman, senior vice president of Marketing for DISH Network, is excited to be on board with Roush Racing in 2007.

"DISH Network is thrilled to have the unique opportunity to sponsor such an elite racing team," said Billman. "NASCAR is one of the most popular sports in the country with millions of devoted fans, and we believe it will be an exciting way for us to communicate the unparalleled value DISH Network offers its customers."

I can't believe that Jack Roush was able to get that much Money out of Charlie.
Tom Bombadil
I can see it now.

First they will lose a lot of races because Charlie has them use cheap tires and regular unleaded 87 octane gas.

Then after they win a race, they will be caught using illegal engine modifications and banned for the rest of the season.

Sorry, you are getting yourself confused with Jimmy Johnson my dear friend. Actually, NASCAR I believe has been using unleaded now for next year.
Tom Bombadil
Who is Jimmy Johnson? The football coach?

BTW, the gas used in a NASCAR race is 110 or 112 octane. Racing fuel.

You see, the joke was that Charlie is cheap. And that he would have his race car using 87 octane to save money.
stimpson
Mark will be in a Chevy for MB2 as well in a few Busch races. He will run some truck races in a Ford owned by the Woods Bros. I agree with you Dodge. He and Roush should have come up with a better contract and sponser package to keep him. He hinted about full time again in 2008. With Roush????????????????????

Honestly, I would rather see an expanded bracketed playoff system than the current Conference Championship Game + playoff model we're using right now. The Conference Championships essentially allow two teams to beat up on each other, and then both typically are going to end up in the playoffs anyway unless it is one of the weaker or smaller conferences. Let them play it out on the field against others.

Until the Big Ten changed thier alignment, (a couple years ago) ... it was not like that at all, the East side won most years the west side represented the Big Ten, but they may have been the team with the 4th best record ...
They finally changed that, to a single conference ... but yes, in most cases, both teams will get in ... now, its a certain both will get in ...

The biggest issue with the Conference Now is the Number of TEAMS .... WAY to Many.
It would take 2-3 YEARS to do a round robin where everyone would play one another ... How do you know how good a team is when teams don't play the same teams ?

I like the move to campus sites for the early games. That adds a fun new dimension for fans, and cuts down on some of the travel expenses that would come with having to follow a team all the way through the playoffs at neutral sites.

Agree ... they started doing that a few years ago.

That'd be more than the FA Cup! Over 700 teams. It is also the most glorious tournament in the world.

Maybe it is time to get rid of the College Football season and just go to a tournament. 128 teams, fill in the bottom end with the lower division. Random draw (except the top 10 teams are in one bucket to draw from in the first and second rounds to avoid OSU v Alabama in the first round), go from 128 to 8. 4 games. Then the 8 remaining teams play 7 games against each other. Then the top two play for the title.

Actually I survived despite them for 31 years and two expait assignments. But the quest for the current quarter's profits doomed long term vision, planning and actions.

Sometimes a thread gets so many posts in it that is can cause issues for the server so that why today we introduce The Song Name Game Part 3!

So let the game continue!

The last song was added by Bobby who posted...

One Meat Ball - Andrews Sisters

CONTINUE ON AND HAVE FUN! WELCOME HOME TO SATELLITEGUYS.US!

Here are the original rules for the game as posted by WebbyDude back in 2006. http://www.satelliteguys.us/threads/68645-Song-Name-Game

Just name a song title and the band who performed it. The next person does the same thing, but needs to list a song title or band name which includes a word from the previous entry. Pick songs from any genre.

Example:

Long Live Rock and Roll -- Rainbow

Rainbow in the Dark -- Dio

Another example:

Ride the Lightning -- Metallica

Lightning Strikes -- Ozzy Osbourne


Get it?


An additional note: we all know that song titles, sometimes, use profane words. Because this is a family friendly website it is advised that you clean up that title up a bit. This is accomplished by using something like sh!t instead of the real word. Thanks....

No problem here (in central Europe) with a 10-footer. Do note that 9.4 dB required for the lock.
The mod is DVB-S2 8PSK with FEC 5/6.

Finally! Some big movement in California diesel pricing (and no, there is no such beastie as a diesel "winter formula").

Crude (combined pricing) is around $90/barrel now, so prices should have, at least, fallen in step with the crude futures.

Just curious here.....then why is diesel so much higher out there than it is elsewhere. Bobby just posted $7.59/gal, locally it is $5.59.....that's two bucks difference. :eeek

California has a ~93¢ per gallon consumer tax rate on automotive diesel, along with significantly higher refinement standards.

The fact that consumers can only buy some new full-sized truck models and a couple of vans with diesel power makes the fuel an odd duck in refinery priorities.

This thread is a place to discuss the 4K events that appear on channel 540. We are getting, at this point, one college football game a week. Let's hope there is more coming.

Not seeing many 4k games on the 148 channels lately?

Also I do not see the 4KFox channel on 148-01; I also do not subscribed to our Local Houston channels.

Maybe I need to subscribe to locals or add the National Action Pack? Not sure the extra cost is worth it??

thx for any info or suggestions

Most of the 4K action on the 148-xx channels will be on Saturday for College Football. For whatever reason, the guide does not show the games until later in the week. The Fox Big Noon game will show up, and there will usually be a couple of other games, some on Fox, and some on ESPN.

I don't know if you need to be subscribed to locals to get them.

Now after reading this story I walked away thinking that this is being blown out of proportion because of the incredibly low numbers of those affected.....BUT....I've read posts by some of you who are taking this drug so I figured it was worth posting.
