The Beast of the Southeast

[The Voice]

Come on, Lowe's is a track with a great and historic legacy.

There's no need try to come up with some artificial nickname for it--it won't stick with the fans and just makes management look desperate to be like the cool kids.

And, really, there is nothing "beastly" about LMS.

[HUDSON HORNET]

Fits right in with the "wrasslin" image though.

Rowdy Roddy Piper vs The Beast From The Southeast.
 
                   

Way to go Lowe's!
I laugh.

DING!

Round Two!

Brew Ha-Ha!!!!


What's next? Tag-Team racing?
Good-Grief!
Roll another one.
Play it again, Sam.

I ROTFLMHeadO.
And I can't get up!
Clap --- Clap.
IMO.

Humpy Wheeler is known as a master marketer.  Legivating Lowes caused a bunch of tire problems.  Humpy's solution?  Re-name it "the Beast of the Southeast."

I agree, Voice.  This time Humpy just looks dumb.

[flamehothead]

I'm gonna have to agree also.

When I seen the "Beast" Commercial for the first time I just laughed. The first thing I thought of was WWE or what used to be WWF. Lowes doesn't need a Nickname and when you say that name around a Nascar fan they know what your talking about.

Some tracks just don't need a Nickname.

Yup, sounds like a college team trying to sound bada$$

Hey Apache, I was just wondering if Duck was your Nickname?

That was my Dads Nickname but of course his first name was Donald lol. He actually sounded like a Duck because when he was in his EARLY Teens he was driving down in the Hills of Kentucky and rolled his parents car down a Small Mountain. It messed up his Voice box and from then on whenever he got to the end of a sentence his voice went silent and it kinda sounded like a Duck.

Just thought I would share that with ya.

It is my Nickname, but mine came from my grandfather.
When I was about 2 we went to Disney world and I got one of those Donald Duck hats with the long bill on the front.
I wore that thing out, and everytime my Grandfather saw me I was wearing it.
My Name is Darren, and he started calling me Darren Duck, and it stuck, and now all my family and friends call me that, and actually I use Duck more than my real name now

Well I got my Donald Duck Hat when I was 4 but I quit wearing it when I turned 5 because I seen ELVIS in concert so I had to be "COOL" from there on out LMAO. I don't think wearing a Donald Duck Hat with an ELVIS T-Shirt would have been cool.

Elvis Duck?
Donald Presley?
Hmmmmmmm

You're correct.
Won't work.

Back in the day, I got a hat at Disneyland, in Anaheim, California.
Mickey Mouse.
Had a great influence on my entire life.
Still wear it to this day.
Although it's a tad tattered.
Goes real well with my (slightly) faded purple cape and pink speedos.
And I'll answer to either Mickey OR Mouse.

Now that is AWESOME, seeing Elvis in concert, I never did anything quite that cool

I/We saw Elvis in Lost Wages --- even made reservations, -- trying to
impress the current (at the time) girlfriend. When we got there for
the show, the line snaked through the casino, around numerous slot machines.
Wouldn't you know it? I won, either $50 or $100, I forget now. Memory,
second thing to go, doncha know.
ANYway, when we got to the door guy who was checking reservations, I
used the $50 or $100 bill as a pointer to indicate where my name was located.
"Down there".

And "Down there", became Down around the second or third row.
Imagine that.
The current girlfriend, (at the time) loved Elvis, and, MOST importantly, loved ME
later that evening.

Thanx Elvis!!
You da man!
And Bonnie Loved ME Tender.              
Yes she did.

Twue story.         
I swear!

The REALLY cool part is we were within 10 rows from the stage so you can Imagine what a 5 year old was thinking during the concert. I remember Elvis was wearing the Baby Blue JumpSuit and I was amazed at the way it would shine off the walls. For some reason everytime I think about the concert the thing I remember the most was my Aunt Screaming at the top of her Lungs and everytime he would move she would Scream again and I kept wondering, What in the world is wrong with her lol. If he would wave at ONE person the place would ERUPT for absolutely NO appearent reason.

I will NEVER forget that day as long as I live.

Now that's a classic, an absolute freakin' classic.  And to stay OT, sort of, I'm not real impressed with the little rock man they use for Dover either.
