Monster Mile with Miles the Monster


This weekend's festivities are taking place in Dover, Delaware. Delaware, the first state, hosts a race twice a year. This weekend has been fairly quiet compared to the last two weekends in Charlotte. Though we are in a storm right now at 8am, it will clear off and we will get this race in today. This concrete track usually has some big wrecks, usually off of turn 2. The pole winner this weekend was David Reutiman, who won last week's rain shortened Coke 600 winner. Dale, Jr. was in the center of the spotlight by getting a new crew chief assigned to him. His cousin, Tony Eury, Jr. traded places in the Hendrick organization with Brian Whitesell. Brian has been in research and development, overseeing a lot of operational things. Brian will be Jr.'s crew chief this weekend and next weekend Lance McGrew will be atop the pit box. They put the title interim crew chief on Lance, but my feeling is that he'll get that tag removed very quickly with Jr. finishing in the top ten the next few weeks.
Predictions:
3). Greg Biffle
2). Kyle Busch
1). Martin Truex, Jr.

But the biggest news of the weekend is that my twins, Alex and Andy, have turned 14 years old! My how time flies! They are having a huge blowout costume party today to celebrate their birthday. Those two are all about the party. They like gifts, but the party is the main focus. They are entertainers 24/7! We are planning a kayaking trip on Tuesday this week, so the celebration continues!

Have fun today, even though you're missing the party. I'm glad you're going to be able to spend time with them Tuesday. They'll have a great time!
Love,
