I've got good news and bad news. Jimmie Johnson has won his 3rd straight NASCAR cup title. Luckily, that's the bad news. Good news... the space shuttle Endeavour has finally docked with the International Space Station. After eagerly waiting for two days, the spaceship connected to the Station just around 5:00pm EST on Sunday about 212 miles above northern India. They originally lifted off on Friday, but had some difficulties. Upon exiting the atmosphere, a gash of the Starboard wing broke off. The last time this happened, the space shuttle Columbia fell apart, causing the death of seven astronauts, back in 2003. I believe this is a favorable idea because there needs to be many repairs on the Space Station, including some solar panels. Now, with the extra manpower, it will be fixed faster.

Cale Yarborough did it in '76, '77, and '78. Why's Jimmie geting all the attention? Huh? Why?
