325 laps to complete today on a beautiful relatively Sunday afternoon in Atlanta. It’s in the upper 50s lower 60s. BooBoo is on the pole. Kyle Busch leads the first lap. First caution, lap 4, tire comes apart on Robby Gordon and sends him spinning. Kasey Kahne takes over the lead from Kyle Busch on lap 14. Lap 20 Clint Bowyer is on pit road under green. Flat right front tire for Clint. Robby was 34th in points ahead of Scott Speed. SpankBoy moves into the top 35 FINALLY. Juan Pablo Montoya passed Busch for second. Kasey is 2.2 ahead of JP going into the commercial break. Back from commercial on lap 28 Kasey is 3.1 seconds ahead of JP. Kyle is still in 3rd. Big Daddy is followed by BooBoo and Jimmie. Jimmie is looking to get ahead of Jr it appears – as is Denny Hamlin. Caution is out on lap 35. Continue reading “2010 Spring Atlanta Sunday”
Tuesday, post Vegas, pre Atlanta
A quick visit to the doctor this morning resulted in a couple of prescriptions. By the time the visit was over (after the blood draw) the hives were starting again and had to be endured through a trip to the pharmacy. I was rather surprised to see blowing snow when I came into the parking garage.  Continue reading “Tuesday, post Vegas, pre Atlanta”
Spring Vegas Sunday
The weather folks said sunshine and sunshine it was. Â It was a beautiful day in Vegas. Â All that sun made the track hot and slippery though. Â 
The race was kinda uneventful overall. Â Occasions of good racing, mixed with Big Daddy just running away with it with almost three second leads. Â A few wrecks, all of which seemed to be a result of people getting loose. Â Kevin Conway had a couple. Â Jamie Mc hit Juan Pablo (who was very, very upset with his teammate). Â Robby Gordon hit the wall. Â AJ Allmendinger mowed the lawn a bit. Â Kurt Busch hit JPM also when Jamie Mc was t-boning him. Â Okay racing, but not that exciting. Â The finish – JIMMIE JOHNSON WINS!!! Â Jimmie finally passed Big Daddy with about fifteen laps to go and held on to win. Â Big Daddy got two tires when Jimmie got four and that seemed to be the call of the race. Continue reading “Spring Vegas Sunday”

Â The forecast for tomorrow is for sunny skies. Â Well this has been an eventful week. Â Bunny came home at the end of last week and left yesterday. Â Continue reading “Spring Vegas Saturday”
Spring Fontana Sunday
We’re in California today. It’s been raining throughout the weekend, so weepers are a possibility, but NASCAR is on the case and has already treated the course for weepers.
Kasey spun relatively early and broke his splitter, so he’s not a viable option.
Jimmie has led the most laps and with his 35th place finish last week, that’s a good thing.
