Sunday, post Chicago, pre Off-Week

Austin Dillon, grandson of Richard Childress, dominated the Camping World Truck Race in Iowa, starting on the pole and taking the checkered flag in his first career Truck Series win. Dillon had to survive a green-white-checkered finish after a caution was thrown just before the white flag lap for debris from Jason White’s truck. RC was at the race having flown from Chicago.

Baby J (Baby Girl Johnson) has a name! The couple who can’t decide where to have dinner on an off-night, tweeted the decision to world. Her name: Genevieve Marie Johnson. Continue reading “Sunday, post Chicago, pre Off-Week”

2010 Summer Chicagoland Saturday

As we reach the halfway point of the NASCAR season, a surprise winner emerges in the Windy City (well, near the windy city to be more precise) MWR’s David Reutimann. It was a very emotional win for Reuti-Tooty and the Legend Buzzy Reutimann was there to experience the celebration. While this was Reutimann’s second career win, nobody but the announcers seem to really count the first one – a victory in Charlotte when the race was ended by rain and Reutimann didn’t pit with the leaders. Congrats to Reutimann and Michael Waltrip Racing. Continue reading “2010 Summer Chicagoland Saturday”

Back in the U.S.A.

So, I’ve always wanted to go to England. The Beatles were still around and touring when I was a little girl. Tom Jones was shaking his thang on tv. And the Rolling Stones, with that sexy Mick Jagger, were being naughty. I was an anglophile as a toddler and it increased exponentially in the 70s with Bowie, Wings, Zeppelin, ELO, the Sweet, Supertramp and T-Rex, and blasted into the stratosphere as I came of age in the 80s with Punk and New Wave bands/artists Duran Duran, Culture Club, Spandau Ballet, Howard Jones, Allison Moyet, The Clash, Sex Pistols, Dexys Midnight Runners, New Order, Elvis Costello, ABC and the hundreds of others making the scene. I got caught up on Roxy Music. Bowie made a come back. And the Stones were still rocking.
I’m skipping down memory lane this morning because 1. I’m exhausted and my mind tends to wander when I’m tired and 2. because I’m back at home after have the glorious opportunity to visit England over the past few days. After dreaming of London, I was actually there on Tuesday. LiverPooh is working in Liverpool thanks to her great company. I was able to visit her during the past week.

2010 Spring Darlington Sunday

Happy Mother’s Day!!!

I had the joy and privilege of spending Mother’s Day with my mother.  My Mom is currently one of the sweetest people you’d ever meet.  She’s kind.  She’s compassionate.  She’s fun and funny.  Somewhere along the line she became one of those crazy old Catholic ladies who goes to church daily and hangs out predominately with other Catholics.  Though I’m happy to say she retains a lot of her beliefs which may not completely coincide with what the latest pope thinks a Roman Catholic person should believe and I salute her for it.  I also cheer on her daily church going because it makes her happy and keeps her active.  I LOVE YOU MOMMY!!!

2010 Spring Richmond Saturday

You know I’d not really paid attention to how often hendrickcarsonline.com has been on Mark Martin’s car this season.  The season is early, but it’s been on the car a few times.  I wonder if Mr H is saving the big sponsorship bucks for Kasey, or whoever will drive it next year, or if he’s just having trouble finding enough sponsorship with Martin driving or if, Rick Hendrick the Chevy dealership owner is suffering during the tight economy.
