Let me start out by introducing myself. My name is Jan Stoltzfus, I live in Pennsylvania, I am married and have no children. I have been following NASCAR since I was a little kid (which, without telling you my age, has been for the last 40+ years). My dad built dirt modified cars and both he and my mom used to take me and my sisters to tracks all over the northeast when I was growing up. Now, I don't proclaim to know everything about NASCAR, but I will tell you that I follow it very closely whether it be by television, radio (I am a huge SIRRIUS NASCAR radio fan), or just attending the races themselves. The name of my blog is based on a tour company named Lynch Tours & More. They are a travel agency in a small town north of Harrisburg, PA called Halifax. They specialize in race tours in which they provide tickets, hotel and transportation to many of the NASCAR races. Their website is www.racetour.com. I am a tour guide for them, so I travel to alot of the races throughout the season. Though this job does not make me an expert on the sport, I do feel that it helpsme stay in tune with what's going on in the world of NASCAR. So, once a week I will try to give you my opinions (and remember, they are just MY opinions) on the sport, it's personalities and the loyal fans that I come in contact with on a regular basis. So, I hope you enjoy this site as much as I am going to enjoy writing it.

My first subject has to be the ongoing Jeremy Mayfield story. First, let me say that I am not, nor have I ever been a drug user, so my knowledge of this subject is very little if any at all. Having said that, I am a little confused about this story. I know alot of people are quick to judge him and, I have to say that I was one of them, but the more this story goes on, the more questions I have. Would this man be fighting this case so hard if he was guilty? Is he trying to take NASCAR down? I don't know, but it sure seems a little suspicious to me. Now, either Jeremy is really, really smart, or really, really dumb, but either way it has cost him his career as a driver and, his personal life will more than likely suffer too. I would love nothing more than to see Jeremy come out of this a winner, (meaning he is clean and always has been) but I am afraid that the odds are stacked against him. I want to believe him, but only he knows the real truth and he must be able to live with that. Only time will tell, but I wish nothing but the best for Jeremy and his wife Shana.

Finally and most importantly, good luck to everyone this weekend at the Brickyard 400 in Indianapolis. Be safe and may the best man win!

See you at the races!
