The Windy City

Chicago...400 miles of driving goodness. Another race under the lights! A Stealth Bomber just flew over for the anthem. The night time is the right time!
I'm looking forward to a week off! I'm heading to Austin to meet up with Sandy and the twins and we're going to Schlitterbahn on Monday. Schlitterbahn is one of the best water parks in the country according to the Travel Channel. I'll spend a few more days with them in Brownwood, TX riding 4 wheelers and relaxing. Then I fly back home to Nashville, do some laundry and drive up to Indiana for a week and a half. My 25th high school reunion is the 18th, then I'll help Mom out at her house in exchange for room and board until I drive to Indianapolis to begin my work week on the 23rd. Zach, in the meantime, is in Montana at his wrestling camp. We haven't heard from him, but I'm sure he's having a blast! We all converge back in Nashville on the 26th...I think.
Here are my predictions for today:
3). Tony Stewart
2). Kyle Busch
1). Jimmie Johnson
Have a great raceday...I'll write again from Indianapolis in a couple of weeks!

Happy Independence Day from Daytona

Happy 233rd Birthday to America! We're here in Daytona for a Saturday night race under the lights! With periodic rain the past couple of days, there hasn't been much practice time and Cup qualifying was cancelled. The drivers will line up according to points. I look for Tony Stewart to continue on his torrid pace and place high. Since he starts on the pole, he should avoid the first big wreck that collects many. Daytona races usually tend to have exciting finishes and tonight should be no different.
My predictions for tonight's race:
3). David Reutimann
2). Tony Stewart
1). Dale Earnhardt, Jr.
Have a great 4th of july and a great race day!
