Get it? We're in Dover. Ben Dover. And the weather is nasty today. It has been pouring off and on! It looks like it will blow over by the time we need to go racing.
The Chase is on and the old man, Mark Martin, is busy schooling everybody else. He took his points lead going in and added to it with a win at Loudon last week. He didn't qualify well, but he has the big mo with him right now. Another guy who is proving the skeptics wrong is JPM. Juan Pablo finished with a strong, but controversial 3rd place last week. He and Denny Hamlin were battling for 2nd and 3rd when the race was called on the yellow flag brought out by the AJ Allmendinger wreck. At first, the scoring said JPM was 2nd, but under closer examination, he was just behind Denny at the last scoring mark.
The track will be very green today since the rain has washed off all the rubber laid down from the Nationwide race from last night. The temperature will be around 70, so if the sun comes out, it will be a wonderful day for racing.
My predictions for today:
3). Juan Pable Montoya
2). Denny Hamlin
1). Jimmie Johnson
On a side note, tonight is the season premiere of The Amazing Race. One of the racing couples are friends of mine. If you watch the show and need someone to root for, Brian and Erica Kleinschmidt, the yellow team, are great people!
Have a great race day!

Just so you know. Mom & I aren't the only ones reading. Martha does to. She tells me all about it. You make her laugh every week. I don't much like Juan Pablo. I'm glad Mark is doing so well. Hope he can keep it up. (Uhh--viagra joke time.) It will be fun to root for Erika Miss America tonight.
Love,
Jackie
I'm with Jackie, it would be fun if ole Mark could win the cup. I will root for your friends on AR.
