Hello race fans! Well, here we are with only one race left in the 2009 NASCAR season and it looks like Jimmy Johnson is going to be the first driver to win four Sprint Cup Championships in a row! I thought maybe after last weekend in Texas, Mark Martin would have been able to close in on Jimmy even more this past weekend in Phoenix. But instead, Jimmy goes and wins the race and extends his lead over Mark! I couldn't believe it! And now, Jeff Gordon is mathmatically out of the running once the race starts on Sunday. So, does anyone think something could happen to Jimmy on Sunday and Mark could possibly win the title?!!! Wishful thinking, but I think it's in the bag for the Lowe's team. As much as I hate to admit it, they have been on top of their game all year. I don't know what it's going to take to stop them, but I hope someone gets the chance to try next year. I was never a real big Mark Martin fan, but I would have like to see him win this year. You could tell by his interview on Sunday after the race, that he was really dejected. He probably thinks this is the closest he's going to get to winning it, but, he is going to continue racing through 2011, so we'll see what happens.

I thought the race in Phoenix was a little boring, but there was one big wreck in it that hindered some good drivers from contending for the win. Dale Earnhardt Jr., Tony Stewart, and others got caught up in the melee and never did recover. The season can't be over soon enough for Jr. I'm sure. This was a miserable season for him and I'm sure his fans can't wait for next year either!

And, what about the ongoing feud between Brad Keselowski and Denny Hamlin! You know who I'm sticking up for. I couldn't believe Brad took Denny out in the Nationwide race on Saturday. I'm sorry, but that was uncalled for. It's one thing to bump and run, it's another to bump, then bump again and then spin the guy out. He better watch out, there are several drivers besides Hamlin that are watching him!!!

I am sad that the season is coming to a close, but am glad that I have the opportunity to attend the last race this weekend in Miami. The weather looks great and I'm looking forward to some great racing and alot of fun! If you're at the race track, look for me with my Lynch Tours shirt on, or stop by our bus and say hello! Good luck everyone, especially to Jimmy and Mark, be safe, and may the best man win! (Oh, and good luck to Denny too!)

See you at the races!
