Jerm and NASCAR lady legend Vicki Wood









Living Legends of Auto Racing. Here's you'll find the memberships of Dick Fleck,
Marvin Panch, Ray Fox, Russ Truelove, and many others!



Welcome to one of the most unique mixes of people and faces you will ever find
at any other bar. This site has been established to let all the members know
when racing events, parties, and finished brews, wines, and ciders are featured
at the actual bar. Even though Dale Jr. has moved to Hend(p)rick, we have
decided to still be a fan of his, and still hate the other bastards on his team.

We regularly brew our own beer, ferment wines and ciders for our friends to
enjoy and have had a lot of success. So come on in, enjoy the atmosphere which
is rich in the legends of NASCAR, especially Dale Sr. and Jr. Pop open a home
brew have, a glass of home made wine or cider. Feel free to relish in the huge
amount of beer and liquor we have in stock. Both imported and domestic. The
complete list can be viewed in column just to the right. Angel and I own the
bar and occasionally tend, however Michael is head of bartending and
maintenance, but is now dabbling in brewing! We encourage all to drink
responsibly and to not be offended if we feel you've had enough. It's all about
getting home safe folks!

We welcome new members, so if you've ended up here at the site, someone likes
what we do and is passing on the good word. If the red light is on, that means
we're open and just come on in and down the stairs. Anything you could possibly
need to know about beer, spirits, brewing, NASCAR, bar events, etc. can be found
by navigating through the links on the Jerm's Joint Yahoo! Group page (see
bottom of this page to join), or talk to our self-proclaimed "experts".

Jerm's Joint owes a lot of its beer selection influence to O'Malley's & The
Rendezvous in St. Augustine, FL courtesy of Big Dave. Come on in, have a drink,
enjoy the company and conversation. We look forward to seeing you!

Jerm and Angel




Chase Wonders?



I can't believe I'm going to say this without throwing up in my mouth just a
little, but Kyle Busch raced smart Saturday night. He knew what he had to do to
get in the chase, but came up just a tad short. He was smart and calculated,
but indeed a case of too much, too late. We all have to admit that over the
last few weeks, Kyle has changed his attitude for the better, and even his style
of racing somewhat. He has become more tolerant of the press, answers questions
like he's got a brain between his shoulders, and smiles a hell of a lot more
than he use to. Dare I say even has attempted to develop a sense of humor?
Either way, he put the charm on a little too late. Kyle still needs to work on
his radio communications with his crew. I still say if I was his chief and he
talked to me the way I've heard some audio playbacks, we'd be goin' behind the
wood shed after the race. Baby steps, right? It isn't going to happen over
night, and now that he has nothing to lose, maybe the punk in him will reappear
during the last ten races.

If you are a Dale Jr. fan, you are all still trying to figure out how he can run
in the top ten most of the evening to finish, what has become his consistant,
21st place. Granted, switching back and forth between the OSU game (another
disappointment) and the race, I might have missed some published handling
issues, but I just can't figure Jr. and his guys out this year. They seem to
always screw up a good car towards the end of the run. I would tell you to
start looking forward to next season, but I don't know what it is we have to
look forward TO.

New Hampshire...hmmm, this one definitely gets one of my notorious "WTF" awards
to NASCAR for making this venue the premier event for the Chase for the Cup.
Just over a mile, and as flat as a school girl's chest, NHMS reminds me of a
Martinsville on steroids. You have little paper clips, then you have big ones!
It's easy to see why they hold races here to only 300 laps. I only want to nap
in front of the television so long, ya know?

Mark Martin. What can you say about Mr. Class? Proving that the ol' timers can
still get it done, and not have to race dirty (though at times, it would be nice
to see...) Can you imagine a better "feelgood" story than to have Mark win the
cup? Once nearly retired, only to become a champion? Sounds like something a
Lifetime Movie would be written. Good luck to him the next ten races!

Peronsally, I will watch what of the chase that I can, but I'm gearing up for
Daytona. Another season, another let down. Many of us are wondering if NASCAR
is getting the message and is going to work on improving the quality of racing
we deserve to see. Another tanked season such as '09 and there may not be
anything to salvage after this! Still, we can keep our fingers crossed until
February!
