Road Course Testing - Virginia International Raceway - May 26, 2009

Pissy Redhead, where are we?  Where are all the other cars?  Shouldn’t Big Yellow be here if Green Energy is?  Is it ok that I’m here?  I’ve never been inside anyone but Big Yellow.  Are you sure Green Energy doesn’t mind?  This isn’t how Green Eyes straps me in.  Are you sure I’m gonna be ok here?  You really don’t say much, do you Pissy Redhead?

Hey, wait, waaaaaaaaaaaaaaait.  You can’t do that!  We’re going the wrong way!  We aren’t supposed to drag this way.  It’s backwards!  Hey, you’re going both ways.  I didn’t know you could do that!  Is Green Energy a special car?  Big Yellow has never gone both ways like this.  This is kinda fuuuuuuuun!  I wanna do this with Green Eyes!  This isn’t like the other slanty roads.  This one is more fuuuuuuuuun.  Cheer up, Pissy Redhead.  It’s gonna be a good day.

“Tight on the rights, pushing on the lefthanders.”

Are we going back in already, Pissy Redhead?  Is this a fake race?  I’m usually with Imaginary Todd during fake races.  If I go.  Sometimes I stay with Blonde Mommabear.  She doesn’t go to the fake races.  That’s when we go buy stuff or hang out at the KHI place.  This is cool.  I wanna go fake racing with Green Eyes!  Could you tell him?  I’d really like that.  And Pissy Redhead, you really need to smile more.

Michigan Track Media - Michigan International Speedway - May 27, 2009

I don’t think I like this place even if it is the Kese-Kesezy-Kesezyplace.  Isn’t that what your friend said?  What’s a Kesezy anyway?  Is it related to the Kid?  I think I heard them call the Kid that once.  But I don’t care.  I don’t like it.

It’s sad.

I wish you’d let me give you a hug, Pissy Redhead.  You really need one.  Blonde Mommabear hugs me when things don’t go well.  I’d try to make you smile if you did.  I think we need to leave here.  It’s very, very sad.  I don’t like to see you so sad.  You’re even sadder than the Cowboy was.  Even sadder than Green Eyes.  This is worse than being in a drawer and I don’t like it!

You have a lot of people follow you around.  Is it why you travel so much?  To try and get away from them?  This is a lot more people than follow Green Eyes and they AREN’T NICE!  Why are people so mean to you?  Why do they ask things to make you sad?  You seem nice to me. You’ve been nice to me all week even if you are very quiet.  You can talk to me you know.  I won’t tell anyone.  Not even Green Eyes.  Not if it will make you feel better.  I promise!

Can we go now?  I really, really don’t like this place.  Everyone is so saaaaaaaaaaaaaaad.

Post Race Dover Garage – Dover International Speedway - May 31, 2009

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay! Pissy Redhead it’s so GOOD to see you smile!  I didn’t think you ever smiled.  You still don’t smile like Green Eyes does but at least you’re smiling now!  Is it because Green Energy dragged fast?  He was really fast today and fun.  Thank you for letting me ride with you.  I hope I brought you luck but…what about Green Eyes?  Shouldn’t I be with him and Big Yellow now?

“Good race today, Junior.”

“Thanks, Lance.”

“ We’ll get this turned around.”

You really don’t say much outside of Green Energy, do you Pissy Redhead?  That’s ok.  I don’t mind.  But I do like hearing you laugh.  That’s a happy sound and you should do it more often!  You really did talk a lot inside Green Energy today.  A lot more than Green Eyes.  And were you talking in a special language?  It seemed to make you happy even if it didn’t make any sense.  I’m just happy you’re happy now!  Did I help with that?  Did I bring you luck and make you a happy Pissy Redhead?

“EARNHARDT!  Don’t you dare go running off again.”

GREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEN EYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYES!!!!!!!!  Green Eyes, I’ve been helping Pissy Redhead.  He rescued me from the drawer!  He’s really nice, Green Eyes.  I had fun with him too.  Don’t be mad.  He needed me!

“Relax, Harvick.  I’m not going anywhere yet.”

“I want.  My bear.  No more stalling.  No more ‘he’s not here.’  Gimmie.”

“Ok, ok, I was just looking out for him.  I’m not the one who left him laying around in the garage.”

“I didn’t either!”

“Yeah, well, that’s where I found him. Here.  You probably need him more than I do.”

That’s not true.  He needed me, Green Eyes.  He did!  Don’t be mad.  I made him better.  See, look.  He’s SMIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIILING!!!  He’s happy now.  He needed my help.  Just like when we helped Cowboy.  Remember?  It’s ok now.  I think Green Energy will take care of him.  He has lots of funny people to help him too.  They go EVERYWHERE with him.  Why don’t we have people like that?

“Alright, alright, I hope you had your fun…even if you are a bearnapper.”

“Yeah, actually, I did have fun.  Made testing more interesting.”

“Really?”

“You know Mike and TJ, what do you think?”

“Point taken.  Maybe I’ll drag him along for my next test.”

“You should.  He’s good company when you’re losing your mind.”

THANK YOU PISSY REDHEAD!!!  I get to fake race again!!!  I knew you liked me.  You’re just the strong silent type, aren’t you?  That’s ok.  I had fun too.  Keep laughing.  It’s good to hear you laugh!

“Sometimes I wonder about you, Earnhardt.”

“You’re one to talk.”

“Yeah, yeah, glad you had a good race too.  Maybe the media will stop and take a fucking breath now.”

“One can only hope.”

“I’ll catch you later.”

“Hey, Harvick.  Thanks.”

“Anytime, June.  Anytime.”

That’s right, Pissy Redhead.  You remember that.  We’ll be around when you need us.  I promise.  No more being sad.  Remember how to smile and if you forget, look at Green Eyes.  He’s good at it.  Even when things aren’t so good.  Stay happy, Pissy Redhead.  You deserve it!
