Hello race fans!
Well, I guess you thought I disappeared since I haven't written any blogs since after the Phoenix race! I apologize for being away so long, it's just been a little crazy around here since then!
As you all know, my last blog was written with great optimism that Denny Hamlin would go to Miami, all be it with a slim 15 point lead over Jimmy Johnson, and drive the wheels off his car and come out of there the 2010 Sprint Cup Champion! Obviously, that didn't happen. His weekend started off bad by qualifying in the back, and it just went down hill from there! In my opinion, I think he had a great car, and had he been a little more patient at the beginning of the race, I honestly believe he could have won the race, or at least finished near Jimmy! As soon as I saw the incident with Greg Biffle, I knew it wasn't looking very good. I couldn't even watch most of the race, I went to watch my niece bowl in a tournament and they had a bar with several tv's in it and I would go in there and see what was going on every now and then. By the time I left the bowling alley, it sounded like Denny was moving up and might have a chance, but by the time I got home, there were only about twenty laps left and I knew his chances were over. To say I was disappointed would be an understatement, but I can only imagine how Denny felt. He was so close, but Jimmy once again, came through when it counted and got his record fifth straight Sprint Cup Championship! Oh well, there's always next year and my motto is going to be #11 in 2011! Sounds like it could be a winning year!
Since then, I have been a busy lady! My husband and I took his sister, niece and nephew on a bus trip to New York City with Lynch Tours & More on December 4th. We went to see The Lion King on Broadway and it was fantastic! If you ever get the chance to see it, you should go. And after that, I have been busy getting ready for Christmas with shopping, wrapping, baking and all the fun stuff that goes along with the holiday season! So, again I apologize for not posting any more blogs since the middle of November.
Sounds like 2011 is going to be an exciting year for NASCAR as I think we are going to see some changes for the Sprint Cup Series and the Nationwide Series. One thing I know NASCAR is looking at is changing the format for the Chase. I personally like it the way it is, but if I were to guess what the changes may be, I think they will add the number of Chasers maybe to fifteen and then start eliminating some of them after so many races. I guess it would basically come down to three or four drivers going for the Championship with only a few races left in the season. Which is pretty much how it is right now, but we will have to wait and see. Also, looks like they are going to limit the amount of races the Cup guys can race in in the Nationwide Series. That will most likely be a good thing. It's not really fair to the guys who are just running in that series, they don't really have much of a chance with the big guns there. I am really looking forward to the upcoming season and seeing how many changes there will be and of course I can't wait to see the spectacular racing that I know will be played out starting with the Daytona 500 on February 20th which is only a short fifty eight days away!
Lastly, I would like to take this time to thank everyone for reading my blog in 2010! I know I don't always say things that everyone agrees with, but I do try to inform you of things that are on my mind and also things happening in the NASCAR world. If you have any ideas that you would like to hear from me on, please feel free to comment, I am open to any suggestions. I also want to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! Please be safe and remember what the real meaning of Christmas is, the birth of Jesus Christ!
Just a reminder, keep checking Lynch Tours & More's website for next year's schedule, and if you are on our mailing list, watch your mail for a very special post card from them as they will be celebrating 20 years in business in 2011! So until next year, take care and as always, I'll see you at the races!

Hello race fans!
Well, here it is, the last race of the season! I can't believe it, it just seems like yesterday we were starting the 2010 season in Daytona and now, nine months later NASCAR is ready to crown another Champion! Since my last blog the series was at Texas and Phoenix. Needless to say, I was happy with one outcome and not the other! So glad Denny won at Texas, but so very bummed about the Phoenix race. Fuel mileage plays a part in that race alot, and this was no exception! Unfortunatley, I know that's the name of the game. The biggest downer for me was that I was at the race in Phoenix! I was so excited for most of the race, but as the laps wound down, I knew Denny was in trouble. It could've been alot worse, but I know Denny was very frustrated, as he should've been! But, congratulations to Carl Edwards on his win there. I'm not sure Denny could've beaten Carl anyway. He probably would have finished second, which still would have been better than twelfth. Shoulda, woulda, coulda, doesn't much matter now! A fifteen point lead is not much, but I think I would rather be ahead, than fifteen points behind.
While I was in Phoenix, I had the opportunity to do a little sight seeing! Chris Lynch, co-owner of Lynch Tours & More, traveled with me to the dessert. We rented a car and on Thursday we took a road trip to Sedona, where the scenery is absolutely beautiful!!! I have never seen anything like it! We took a Pink Jeep Tour (which I highly recommend if you ever get to Arizona)and had the best time ever! We had a great tour guide named Mike, and he took us on a Coyote Canyon tour. If you want to check out my pictures, go to my facebook page and check them out! It was a little chilly, we took the four o'clock tour, which lasted two hours, and when the sun started to go down, it was pretty cold. Thankfully, we had purchased sweatshirts and gloves before we left, and the tour provided nice warm blankets for us! On Friday, we took a drive from our hotel, which was in Tempe, over to Old Scottsdale, which is just a short drive, and checked out the great shops and restaurants there! We saw alot of silver and turquoise jewelry which was very pretty, but not quite my style! We headed back to Tempe and ate in a great little restaurant called Monti's . It was the first building built in the city of Tempe! It was great, food was good and the building was amazing! Check it out if you're ever in the area! Then, it was off to the races Saturday and Sunday. All in all, it was a great couple of days and I hope I get the chance to go back!
Now, heading into Homestead-Miami, the race that will decide it all, I am feeling pretty good about Denny's chances! He won this race last year but, it ended up under the lights. This year it's a day race, so I don't know if that will make a difference or not. We will find out soon enough! Unfortunately, I will not be there to see the race in person, but will be watching every second of it here at home! Terry Lynch of Lynch Tours & More has a group down there, so stop by and say hi to them if you are at the race! I wish all three drivers the best this weekend! I obviously want to see Denny win the race and the Championship and I will be very disappointed if he doesn't, but, he has had a year that he can be darn proud of! So, on that note, GOOD LUCK ON SUNDAY DENNY!
I also want to take this opportunity to tell everyone to have a very happy and safe Thanksgiving! I am so thankful everyday for my husband, my family and my health. So, take time this holiday season and thank the good Lord for what He has given you. Remember, there is always someone out there who is less fortunate than you are!
See you at the races in 2011!

Hello race fans!
Hope everyone is enjoying this beautiful fall weather here on the east coast! Been a little cool here in Pennsylvania, but the leaves are looking very colorful! As you all know from my last blog, I was heading to Martinsville for the weekend with my husband and my nephew. I guess I don't have to tell you that it was a fantastic weekend! First of all, the weather was absolutely beautiful! It was sunny and in the mid 70's all weekend. I had a group of about 30 people with Lynch Tours & More and we headed to the track on Saturday for the Camping World Truck Series race in which Ron Hornaday, Jr. won. I was a little bummed, I really wanted to see Todd Bodine win, especially since his mom had just passed away the day before. But, it wasn't meant to be I guess. Then, Sunday we watched what was a fantastic race, but of course, I would say that, Denny Hamlin won! What more could I want, family, beautiful weather and great racing! Life doesn't get much better than that!
Then, after racing at the shortest track on the circuit, NASCAR headed to the biggest track on the circuit. TALLADEGA!!! I don't know about you guys, but the racing doesn't get much better than it does at that track. I've had the opportunity to visit there several times, and I can tell you that you are on the edge of your seat for most of the race and I'm sure it was that way for the fans who were in attendance on Sunday! I know watching it, was sure exciting! Terry Lynch had a group of people there and, well, all I'm gonna say is you need to go to Terry's facebook page and look at his profile picture. It was Halloween in Dega' and Ricky Bobby from Talladega Nights was there! Sounds like everyone had a great time and of course, the race didn't go without it's share of beatin' and bangin'! Thank goodness AJ Allmendinger was ok after that scary wreck at the end. You knew it was coming the way they were going four and sometimes five wide with only a few laps left. Congratulations to Clint Bowyer on his win, and now, it looks like it is definetly going to be Johnson, Hamlin and Harvick left battling it out for the Championship. I think it's going to go all the way to Homestead-Miami to decide who will win it! What more could NASCAR want, this is the closest points race with three races left, in the history of the Chase!
Next week, I will be heading to Phoenix for my first trip to this race track. I am so excited and looking forward to a great trip! Terry Lynch's wife, Chris will be traveling with me for some much neede r and r, so if you are at the race, look us up! Also, Terry will be in Texas this weekend with a group of customers, and I'm sure they will have a great time too!
Now, before I go, I hope everyone out there is pulling for Richard Petty Motorsports to figure out a way to stay in the sport. It just wouldn't be right, not to have a Petty in the garage area! It looks like they will be able to run these last three races, but things are very much up in the air for next year. So, let's keep our fingers crossed that they get sponsorship for 2011 so we can keep the most famous name in NASCAR in the business.
Everyone have a great weekend and as always, I'll see you at the races!

Hello race fans!
Well, here we are, halfway through the Chase! Only five more races to go and it looks like it's coming down to three drivers. Jimmy Johnson, Denny Hamlin and Kevin Harvick. You all know who I have my money on, I'm not giving up hope just yet!
The last two races have been quite exciting! California sure was interesting as we saw Tony Stewart take the victory. But once again, no one really gained any points on Jimmie as he finished third. Then, there was Charlotte this past weekend. I thought when Jimmie spun out at that it was going to be a bad night for him, but of course not! He didn't hit anything, came in and pitted and ended up finishing third again! Once again, no one gained any ground! But, I would like to say congratulations to Jamie McMurray on his win in the Bank of America 500! He certainly knows how to win at the big races this year! I absolutely loved his speech in victory lane! He explained why he cried when he won the Daytona 500 this year. He didn't know the year before if he would even have a ride, much less be standing in victory lane at the 2010 season opener. He seemed so humbled by everything and credits everything to the power of prayer! I say AMEN to that!
Was wondering what everyone thought of the big news about Kasey Kahne leaving Richard Petty Motorsports? Sounds like things were not so great there anyway, so I guess it's good he left when he did. Looks like he will be in the #83 Red Bull car which will be changed to the #4 since that's the number he had when he drove sprint cars. I hope everything works out for him, I think he is a very talented driver and deserves to be in good equipment. Also hoping that RPM can stay afloat, it would be a real shame if they had to close their doors. The economy has really hit everyone hard, including teams like that, so good luck to them! I hope everything works out for everyone!
Well, I'm off to Martinsville this weekend with my husband and nephew! Looking forward to a great time with them and my Lynch Tours customers! I know it's gonna be exciting and I hope my driver, Denny Hamlin, comes home with another win! I hope it doesn't come down to him and Jimmy, we need Jimmmy to finish further back, waaaayyy further back! GO GET EM' DENNY!
Have a great weekend everyone and I'll see you at the races!

Hello race fans!
As you can see, I have been a little lax in writing my blogs the last few weeks. No excuses other than I have been extremely busy with family obligations, so thanks for your patience!
I hope everyone is enjoying the Chase for the Sprint Cup! The first three races sure have provided plenty of excitement, especially the race in Louden, New Hampshire! I would normally say congratulations to Clint Bowyer on his win there, but, as we all know, that win was tarnished by the penalties handed down by NASCAR to him and his RCR team. Now, I would like to share my thoughts on this whole thing! First of all, I am in the middle as far as Richard Childress drivers, don't really root for them, but also don't boo them either. However, I have been reading and listening to alot of people talk about this subject and I find myself leaning towards and in favor of NASCAR. I have always been a fan of rules, and when they are in place at the beginning of the year, everyone knows what they are. If you break those rules, even if it's by the slimist of margins, you are in the wrong and there should be consequences for that. I keep hearing people say that, why didn't they see this when the car went through tech at the track? What everyone is not understanding is that the infraction was not on the actual body of the car, it was how the chassis was welded onto the body of the car. So, when the "claws" are put on the car when it goes through inspection at the track, it would not detect something that was done underneath the car. Now, I don't claim to know anything about cars, but I will say that when they give you the specs on what a car is supposed to be when it is built, and they give you a little margin for error, it better be that or you will be in big trouble! I understand that Richard Childress said that car was legal when it left the shop to head to New Hampshire, but was he actually standing there when the car was built? Probably not, and I was a little disappointed in his excuse for why the car was not legal after the race. If a tow truck was the cause of that, then every car that races in a restrictor plate race, would be illegal because of all the bump drafting that is done during the course of those races. And believe me, there is alot harder bumping going on in there than there is from a tow truck! So, having said that, I applaud NASCAR for sticking to their guns and doing the right thing. My only question is, what caused them to look at Bowyer's car in the first place. I know they were warned about their car in Richmond, but why??? Something had to throw up a red flag before that to cause NASCAR to take a look at that car. So, I would really like to know what that is. That's my take on the situation, I don't want to offend anyone by my thoughts, but we all have an opinion and that's mine!
Moving on to Dover. I had the opportunity to take a group of Lynch Tours & More customers along with my husband, and a very dear friend and her son, which happened to be his very first NASCAR race! We had a great time, tailgated before the race and had a great group of people! Thanks to all of our customers for their continued loyalty to us! But, I was a little bummed about the race. Was hoping Jimmie Johnson didn't win, because now it looks like he is making a run at that fifth championship! Was glad to see Denny Hamlin finish in the top ten. I knew he had to have a good run there to stay in the points lead. But we all know, that didn't last long!
Then it was off to Kansas! Was glad to Greg Biffle win, he had a great car all day! But, you know who finished second and now he is the points leader. I can't believe no one can stop the Johnson express!!! I am still not counting out my guy! Denny is only 8 points behind Jimmy and there are still other guys who can catch him too. There is plenty of racing to go, and I think after the race in Charlotte next weekend, we will have a better idea of who is going to be the real contenders for the championship! GO DENNY!!!
This weekend's race in sunny California should be a good one. I hope it doesn't come down to fuel mileage, but if it does, you can bet there are guys who are going to take some chances. The non-chasers will definetly be ones to watch if it does come down to that. What about a retaliation from this past weekend's race between David Reutimann and Kyle Busch??? Mmmmmm!!!! That could be interesting! Good luck to all of the drivers!
For all of you who are looking to book a race trip this year yet, we now have our Homestead-Miami race on the Lynch Tours website. Plus, all of the remaining races on the schedule this year. Charlotte next weekend, Martinsville, Talladega, Texas, Phoenix and of course Homestead-Miami! We still have availability for all of these races! So, give us a call at 1-888-RACETOUR or check out our website at www.racetour.com. As always, see you at the races!

Hello race fans!
Well, here we are getting ready to start the Chase for the Sprint Cup! I can't believe there are only ten races left in the season! The last blog I wrote, I was saying how there were two races left till the Chase, now here we are, ready to go!
First off, I must say that I was so disappointed in Atlanta when Denny Hamlin was leading and blew his motor. I guess I can be thankful it was that race and not one in the Chase. Having said that, way to go Tony Stewart for winning the Atlanta race! He was overdue and now he is one to watch in the Chase for the Sprint Cup! And of course, you all know I was exstatic when Denny won in Richmond last weekend! My husband and I were there with a group from Lynch Tours & More and it was so exciting to see Denny win at his home track and hopefully carry that momentum over to this weekend in Louden! Way to go Denny, you rock !!!
Now that the Chase is officially beginning this weekend at Louden, New Hampshire, I'm not sure who is the clear favorite to win this race. Many of the drivers in the Chase have won at this track including Hamlin, Jeff Burton, Kurt Busch, Kevin Harvick, just to name a few. So, it should be an exciting race! And, we certainly can't count out other drivers that are not in the Chase. They have nothing to lose and will be looking for wins to finish the year out. I look for drivers like Mark Martin, Juan Pablo Montoya and Jamie McMurray to have strong runs there. I will be watching on Sunday to see how the drama plays out! Can't wait!!!
So, I want to know who you think will win the Chase! I know I made a prediction last year who I thought would win it and I didn't do a very good job! I think I said Tony Stewart would win and Jimmie Johnspn wasn't going to win four in a row! As you can tell, I'm not very good at making predictions. However, if I was going to pick somebody, you all know who I am going to pick! Yes, Denny Hamlin! He has about as good a shot as he's ever had to win it! He has gotten alot better at the mile and a half race tracks and of course, there are several tracks in the final ten races that he's won at, including Martinsville and Homestead-Miami. The biggest problem tracks that I see for him are Dover and Talledega. He did finish fourth at Dover in May, but he usually is not very good there. He is a very good restrictor plate racer, but his finishes do not show for it. So, if he can get a good finish at those two tracks, he might just have a chance at the Championship! My second picks if Denny doesn't win it, would have to be Kevin Harvik or Jeff Gordon. Harvick has been so consistent all season and has lead the points for a long time until now. Jeff also has been consistent, but has yet to pull off a win this year. My fear is that once Jeff starts winning, he may not stop! So, there you have it, those are my picks for this years Championship!
Lastly, I want to wish all of the drivers in the Chase, the best of luck these next ten races. It is sure to be one of the most exciting ones yet! I do think though, that it will come down to more than one or two drivers at Homestead. I'm thinking there could be four or five with a legitimate shot at the tile when we get to the last race! Wouldn't that be cool?!!! I hope that is the case, NASCAR could really use that right now! So, everyone be safe this weekend and as always, I'll see you at the races!

Hello race fans!
Well, after an exciting week in Bristol, Tennessee, I am back and getting geared up for that final push to the Chase! First off, I must congratulate Kyle Busch on his trifecta at Bristol Motor Speedway. I was fortunate (or not!) to witness history with Kyle taking wins in all three series, Truck, Nationwide and Sprint Cup. I have to give him credit though, to accomplish that, is quite a feat and he deserves alot of credit for pulling it off! Way to go Kyle! I also had a great group of people with Lynch Tours & More! The weather was great, we had a super tailgate party and the racing was fantastic! It doesn't get much better than that! Thanks everyone for making another race trip a great one!
Now, after a week off, it is down to crunch time for several of the driver's trying to make the Chase! With only two races left, it looks like it's going to come down to Clint Bowyer and Jamie McMurray for that last spot in the Chase. I really like Jamie and would love to see him make the Chase, but it's going to be very hard for him to make up 100 points in that short amount of time. Alot of the drivers will be able to lock themselves in after Atlanta, but there are a few that will be holding their breath until after Richmond. One of them being Jimmie Johnson. He better hope he does well these next two races and doesn't have any mechanical issues. Wouldn't that be something if he didn't make the Chase!!! Not likely to happen, but you never know! Stay tuned!
Who's everyone's pick to win at Atlanta this weekend? You know who I'm rooting for! Denny Hamlin of course! He has the pole for Sunday's race and I would love to see him win there! He's gotten alot better at the mile and a half tracks so hopefully he can pull off a good finish, maybe even a win, to lock himself into the Chase! GO DENNY!!!
Lynch Tours & More is off to Richmond, Virginia next weekend for the Virginia 529 College Savings 250 Nationwide race on Friday night and the Air Guard 400 Sprint Cup race on Saturday night ! We will have one bus there on Friday night and two buses there on Saturday night. I will be there for the Cup race only and will be looking forward to seeing if Denny can win again at his home track! Can't wait! Stop by and say hi if you get a chance. The bus parking lot is near the Chevy Fan Fest building, I will be on Bus #2, just look for our Lynch Tours sign in the bus window!
In the meantime, I want to wish everyone a very happy and safe Labor Day weekend! I will be spending it with family and friends! So until next time, I'll see you at the races!

Hello race fans!
Sorry I missed writing my blog last week, but I'm ready to get back at it! Well, Juan Pablo proved he is an ace on the road course when he won at Watkins Glen two weeks ago! I was happy to see him win after some disappointing finishes, especially Indianapolis. He sure knows how to manuever around that tricky course! I'm sure it won't be long before he wins on an oval! It certainly wasn't a good day for Denny, as I thought he would have a top 5 finish until that incident with Jimmy Johnson. I hope he gets back in winning form soon, cause I am counting on him to be a serious contender for the championship!
Now, Michigan proved to be a place where Kevin Harvick found his mojo! It was his first win at that track. He has really proven that he is a great driver and can win a championship. Of course, my money is on Denny! Who would've thought after the season Kevin had last year, that he would be sitting atop the point standings right now. In fact, I thought he wouldn't even be back at RCR this year, and not only is he back, but he has signed an extension with them and will have Budweiser as a sponsor for 2011!
Speaking of sponsors, there has been alot of shifting around with drivers, sponsors and cars for next year! Alot of announcements made this past week for 2011! Marcos Ambrose will leave the 47 car and go to the 9 car, Kasey Kahne announced he will drive for Red Bull next year, (what's up with that, a Toyota???), just to name of few. And then there's the schedule for next year, that is very different. Not sure it makes any difference to me, but would love to know what you guys think of it!
Now we are off to Bristol, one of my most favorite tracks!!! I am in Bristol with Lynch Tours & More for all three races. I attended Wednesday night's truck race which Kyle Busch won, big surprise there! Now, I am getting geared up for the Nationwide and Sprint Cup races Friday and Saturday night! I will be cheering Denny on in the Cup race, hopefully he will have a good night! I can't wait for all the action, after all, it's BRISTOL BABY!!! So on that note, good luck to everyone this weekend and if you are at the track, stop by and see me! We will be in the turn 4 bus lot on Friday and the Earhart parking lot (turn 1) on Saturday. Take care as always, see you at the races!

Hello race fans!
How about that Jamie McMurray winning the Brickyard 400! What an awesome finish for him and the whole Chip Ganassi race team! Chip has now made history with the only person to have won the Daytona 500, the Indy 500 and the Brickyard 400 in the same year. that's quite an accomplishment! Jamie has really seemed to turn things around this year since he joined Earnhardt-Ganassi Racing. It was really cool to see him in victory lane with his wife and then rub her pregnant belly! Way to go Jamie!
Then, it was quite an exciting week after that! Jack Roush had another plane crash last week in Wisconsin. He and a female companion were injured, but thankfully both walked away from the scary incident. Jack is still in the hospital recovering from facial injuries and hopes to be back at the track very soon! Get well soon Jack! Other news, was the surprise fines handed out by NASCAR to Ryan Newman and Denny Hamlin. What is up with that? Apparantly, these two drivers made some comments that NASCAR didn't like after Talladega and Texas, and they fined both of them, Ryan's was $50,000! Now, I know you are all gonna say that I don't like this because of Denny. NOT TRUE! I feel the drivers should be able to voice their opinion (in Denny's case, it was on Twitter)as long as they are not using profanity. But, isn't this getting a little ridiculous! And then, NASCAR keeps it a secret, why??? I'm just saying, let them speak their minds! I would love to hear what you all think of it! I won't be offended, would love to hear your comments!
The best medicine Jack Roush could have gotten, was when his driver, Greg Biffle took the checkered flag at last Sunday's race at Pocono! What a great race for Greg as this is the first win for Ford this season and the first for Greg since 2008! I was really pulling for my driver, Denny Hamlin, but I was happy with his 5th place finish. With only five races left until the Chase, Denny is solidly in, but needs some more wins to get those extra bonus points. Right now he is tied with Jimmy Johnson with the most wins. Go Denny, and keep up the good work! Also, was so glad to see Elliott Sadler walk away from one of the scariest wrecks I have seen in a long time! Thanks to NASCAR for such a safe race car and for the HANS device, which without a doubt, saved his life! Elliott was on such a high as he had just won the truck race the day before. So, say what you want about NASCAR, but thanks to them, Elliott is still here today because of them!
Lastly, I got to spend some time with a dear friend of mine from Ohio the beginning of this week. I met her and her husband several years ago on a Rusty Wallace cruise that Lynch Tours & More used to go on. They also have traveled with us on race trips and my husband and I got to know them very well. Her and I met just outside of Cleveland and spent a few relaxing days together. We visited some wineries and got caught up on each other's lives. What a great time together with her! Can't wait to get together with her again very soon!
Now, back to the race track, this weekend's race at Watkins Glen, NY. I had the opportunity to visit that track last year, and I have to say, found it quite interesting. Was a little weird seeing them go by the grandstands the opposite direction, but it ended up being a really good race, and the scenery up there is absolutely beautiful! So, I am actually looking forward to watching it on TV on Sunday and rooting for Denny!
So, I hope you all have a great weekend and as always, see you at the races!

Hello race fans!
Well, here we are, going into one of the most anticipated race weekends of the year, Indianapolis! The Brickyard 400 trophy is one of the most coveted trophies in NASCAR and I'm sure if you ask any driver, they will tell you they want to win this one above any other! I know I am so excited and can't wait to watch all three series this weekend! I would love to say that I can predict who is going to win on Sunday, but honestly, I'm just not sure. I would love to see Denny Hamlin win (of course!), but there are just too many driver's capable of pulling it off. Look at Juan Pablo Montoya who should have won last year, but messed up on pit road on the last pit stop! Then there are the usuals, Jimmie Johnson, Jeff Gordon, Kevin Harvick, Kyle Busch just to name a few! I guess we willl just have to wait and see! Good luck to everyone!
Now, I would love to hear what everyone's thoughts are on last weekend's Nationwide Series race at Gateway!!! I thought to myself, as I was watching the closing laps of the race, that Carl Edwards and Brad Keselowski are NOT going to go down without a fight! And boy, was I right! When I saw Brad go into the first turn on the final lap and saw him get into Carl, I thought, here we go! Then, they made it through without incident. I thought for sure when they got to turns three and four that Carl would get to Brad's back bumper and turn him around or at least, shove him up the track. I never thought he would get him on the straightaway! Now, here are my thoughts on all of this: I don't like Brad, don't really root for Carl one way or the other. But, when NASCAR said, "have at it boys!", what were they expecting?! I think Brad needs to learn a lesson about respecting other drivers, but I also think Carl needs to choose his place of "retaliaton" a little better. Doing it on the straightaways, is not the best place for that. The fine levied against Carl meant absolutely nothing, the points, well, they will probably come back to haunt Carl down the road. Especially, if he loses the championship by 60 points or less! So, having said all that, HAVE AT IT BOYS!!!
Now, for all you ladies out there (and men too, if you care!). I recently read an article that Brooke Gordon (ex-wife of Jeff) had a baby boy in September 2009! I was shocked! Sometimes I try to find out what she's been doing and I had never seen any information on her other than she was dating some guy who was running for governor of South Carolina. She has since married him, his name is Mullins McLeod. However, he is not the father of the baby, that honor goes to a man named James Dixon II. He apparantly is seeking to change the baby's last name to his, as Brooke gave him her last name, Gordon. The baby's father is also asking for $10,000 a month in support from Brooke, use of her nannies and, oh yea, he wants her to buy him a 1.2 million dollar house! Now, I now some of you probably don't like Brooke, but I always did. I always thought she was good for Jeff, but what do I know. I just feel bad for her, sounds like this guy is trying to milk her out of money that he doesn't deserve! If you want to check out the article on her, go to www.scenedaily.com.
Lastly, I want to remind everyone that Lynch Tours & More still has availability for all of their races on the schedule this year. Don't miss out on all the excitement of such tracks like Richmond, Dover, Charlotte, the short track in Martinsville, the superspeedway in Talladega, Texas, Phoenix, and last but not least, Homestead-Miami! There's no better place to end the season, than in the sunny south! So, give us a call at 888-RACETOUR or 717-896-0008 or visit our website at www.racetour.com and let us take care of all the details for you!
Have a great weekend and I'll see you at the races!

Hello race fans!
I hope everyone had a great Fourth of July! We celebrated with family and friends at our house with swimming, lots of food, and a little display of sparklers and fireworks! A fun time was had by all!
Having said that, there was plenty of fireworks at Daytona International Speedway for the Nationwide and Sprint Cup Series. First, the #3 was back in action for Friday night's Nationwide Subway Jalapeno 250 with Dale Earnhardt Jr. behind the wheel. That was the first time that car had raced since the death of Dale Sr. Was there ever any doubt he would win? It was very emotional for both Dale Jr. and crew chief Tony Eury Jr. It's been a long time since the two of them have won a race together. But, it looks like that will be the last time you see the #3 on the track with Dale in it. He has made it very clear that he will not run that car again. He might want to think twice about that, the ratings for ESPN2 was the highest they've been in a long time! Also, even though she finished with a banged up race car, Danica Patrick had her best finish yet, 24th! Hang in there girl, it will get better!
Then it was the Sprint Cup Series turn on Saturday night with the running of the Coke Zero 400. What a wild race! First, Kyle Busch gets turned into the wall by Juan Pablo Montoya(personally, I think it was both their faults!)then the BIG ONE!!! Wow, I don't think I have ever seen that many cars taken out in one wreck! And, the people who caused it, Kurt Busch and Jeff Burton, kept going and had descent finishes! Never a dull moment at that race! After all the wrecks and the smoke cleared, Kevin Harvick picked up his second win at that track and second of the year. He certainly is proving he is championship material! Now, my guy on the other hand, Denny Hamlin, did not fare so well. I was really hoping he could get the monkey off his back at that track, but it was not meant to be. Getting caught up in the big one, he limped his car home to a 24th place finish. Not one of his better tracks! But, I am still confident he is going to give Jimmie Johnson a run for his money when the Chase rolls around!
Now, Chicagoland was a so-so race. The Nationwide race saw Kyle Busch win again and David Reutimann stole the show with his win in the Cup race! I was so happy for David, and it was nice to see the emotion he showed and how the other drivers were also happy for him. Congratulations Kyle and David!
This weekend, the Sprint Cup Series is off, but the Nationwide and Truck races are at Gateway International Raceway Friday and Saturday nights. Don't forget to watch as I will be, so I can get my NASCAR fix for the weekend! Have a great weekend everyone and as always, see you at the races!!!
I hope everyone had a great Fourth of July! We celebrated with family and friends at our house with swimming, lots of food, and a little display of sparklers and fireworks! A fun time was had by all!
Having said that, there was plenty of fireworks at Daytona International Speedway for the Nationwide and Sprint Cup Series. First, the #3 was back in action for Friday night's Nationwide Subway Jalapeno 250 with Dale Earnhardt Jr. behind the wheel. That was the first time that car had raced since the death of Dale Sr. Was there ever any doubt he would win? It was very emotional for both Dale Jr. and crew chief Tony Eury Jr. It's been a long time since the two of them have won a race together. But, it looks like that will be the last time you see the #3 on the track with Dale in it. He has made it very clear that he will not run that car again. He might want to think twice about that, the ratings for ESPN2 was the highest they've been in a long time!

Hello race fans!
Well, it's been a while since I posted a new blog. I've had alot going on, including going on vacation for a week. Went to the beach and enjoyed it very much with my husband and his family! Now I'm ready to get back to blogging and it sounds like I have alot to catch up on!
First of all, Denny Hamlin backed up his Pocono win with a win at Michigan a few weeks ago! He, at the time, was leading all drivers with the most wins for the season so far with five. Many think that he is peaking too soon and when it comes time for the Chase to start, he will somehow falter, like Kyle Busch did last year. I am hoping that does not happen, not sure what he is supposed to do differently. Lay back and let someone else win?!!! I think not!!! Anyway, way to go Denny!
Then, the series headed out west to Sonoma, California for the first of two road course races this year. Now,for those who were hoping that Jimmy Johnson was in a "slump", you were, I'm sure, very disappointed to see him win there! I don't know what it is with those guys, but just when you think they are slipping a little and maybe someone else will catch up to them, they come right back and prove us all wrong! Then he follows that up this past weekend with a win at Louden, New Hampshire! WHAT IS UP WITH THAT!!!! Now he is tied with Denny for most wins this year! I know this can't be good for the sport. Someone has to get it together and beat that 48 team this year! I hope it is Denny and the #11 team!!!
Now, the teams are going back to Daytona for the second time this year. Restrictor plate racing is always one of my favorites and it is always so unpredictable! Will there be the big one? Who will get caught up in it? Will someone win that usually doesn't? That seems to be the case there! I am sure betting that Jamie McMurray will be a factor again! By the way, congratulations to him and his wife as they announced this week that they are expecting their first child together! Sure is alot of that going around in the garage area! lol! Best wishes to all of them!
Well, what did everyone think of Danica Patrick's return to the Nationwide Series this past weekend in Louden? Unfortunately, I did not get to see the race, but saw some of the highlights. Seems like she is a moving target every race she has been in so far. I'm not saying Morgan Shephard spun her on purpose (don't think he is that type of driver!) but it sure looked like there was no give and take either. I still think once she gets enough seat time and learns about these cars, she will do a much better job. Hang in there Danica!
Lastly, I want to wish everyone a very happy July 4th this weekend! Please take time out of you busy weekend and remember those who have fought and are still fighting for our freedom! They truely are my heroes! Thank you to all the men and women who serve in all of the armed forces! GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!
Good luck to all the driver's this weekend in Daytona. Be safe and as always, see you at the races!

Hello race fans!
Sorry for the delay in posting a new blog, but I'm back and ready to talk NASCAR! Wow, what an exciting couple of weeks of racing at Charlotte Motor Speedway! As expected, the All-Star race proved to be one of the best races of the year! Who would've thought that Denny Hamlin and Kyle Busch would come out of that race not liking each other very much. Cooler heads eventually prevailed, and in the end it was older brother Kurt Busch who stole the show and came away with the million dollar payout! Congratulations Kurt!
Next, it was the Coca-Cola 600, which I had the opportunity to attend. I went with my husband and the group from Lynch Tours & More. We had a great time, as Dean and I first got to tour Victory Junction Gang Camp. What a fantastic place! If you ever get to the Randleman, NC area, you have to go there, it's amazing! We then headed to Richard Childress' Vineyard for lunch and a tour, all before heading to the racetrack for the weekends events. If you go to Lynch Tours facebook page, you can check out all the pictures! What a great weekend of racing as Kyle Busch won the Nationwide race and Kurt won the 600! I wish I had all the money he won in those two weekends! Way to go Kurt!
Then it was off to Pocono. I went to the race with my sister Kathy and let's just say, we had a blast! The weather was very cloudy and windy in the morning, then we headed into the track for the race and we no sooner got to our seats, they started the pace laps, and it started to pour! And when I say pour, I mean it was a downpour! We were in the next to top row of the grandstands, so there was no way we were leaving, so we put on our rain ponchos, and there we sat until the rain stopped, about 15 minutes later! We managed to stay dry and within an hour and a half later, the track was dry and the race was underway. A cold front went through during the race that dropped the temperature about 10 degrees from the start and with the wind, it felt like it was about 50 degrees out! So, we had a mixture of weather, but it didn't really matter. I guess I don't need to tell you that I was very happy when I left there! Denny Hamlin once again dominated and won the race! Way to go Denny! My sister's favorite driver is Tony Stewart, so she was very happy that he finished third. All in all, it was a great day!
What did you all think of the Joey Logano/Kevin Harvick fued! I'm sticking by Joey, there's only so much you can take from a driver before they snap, and I think that's exactly what happened with him. He probably shouldn't have made the remark about DeLana Harvick, but it was more of a dig towards Kevin than her. Hang in there Joey, you made a statement and I think everyone listened!
Now, they're off to Michigan which will probably turn into a fuel mileage race. Who will be the winner this weekend? Can Denny continue his dominance, or will it be his teammate Kyle Busch, or will Hendrick get their act together and win? You know who I will be rooting for! GO DENNY!!! Good luck to everyone this weekend and have a safe race!
As always, I'll see you at the races!

Hello race fans!
Well, here we are, coming up on one of the most exciting races of the year! The Sprint All Star race in Charlotte,NC ! I am so excited and can't wait to watch it on Saturday night! It all starts with the Camping World Truck Series race on Friday night, then the All Star Showdown race on Saturday night and then the big race, the Sprint All Star race! Terry Lynch, owner of Lynch Tours & More has begun his Dream Tour week by going to the Pit Crew Challenge on Wednesday night, which Denny Hamlin's #11 team won! And, I'm sure you all know, that made me very happy! They will be going to all of the races, visiting most all of the race shops, eating in the Speedway Club above Charlotte Motor Speedway and then, topping it all off next weekend, by toasting the winner of the Coke 600 and heading back to the hotel in a limousine! WOW, now that's what I call an exciting week! Have fun guys!
Now, I must talk about last week's races at Dover. Kyle Busch had a chance to make history by winning all three races, Truck, Nationwide, and Cup. He almost pulled it off and was only three laps shy of doing it, but he had fuel pump issues while he was leading the Truck race, and had to pit with only a few laps to go. I'm sure he is kicking himself knowing he came that close, but he still had a great weekend with winning the Nationwide and Sprint Cup races. Congrats Kyle! I was happy to see Denny finish fourth in the Cup race considering he hasn't done well the last few times he raced there, so this was like a win to him I'm sure!
I was very glad to hear that Brian Vickers is out of the hospital and on the mend! It sounds like he could be out of commission for a while though, at least until the doctors can find out what caused the blood clots and until they are confident that Brian is well enough to get back in a race car. Until then, get well soon Brian, we are all pulling for you!
By now I'm sure you have heard that the lawsuit Jeremy Mayfield filed against NASCAR has been thrown out. I have very mixed emotions about this whole thing. I feel that NASCAR's handling of the situation could have been a little different, but I also feel that if Jeremy really has been doing drugs, that he needs to come forward and deal with it, apologize, and get help! I feel for him and his wife cause his career is over and now he has to find some way to make a living. Maybe he already has and I hope for his sake that is the case. Whatever the case may be, I wish you all the best Jeremy and please, if you do have a drug problem, get help! NASCAR fans can be very forgiving and I know they would love to see you come out of this with good results!
Finally, don't forget to watch all the action this weekend and next in Charlotte! I know I will be plus, I will be attending the Coke 600 weekend activities! I plan on writing another blog after all the races in Charlotte, so till then, have a great week and a safe Memorial Day weekend! Don't forget to remember those who serve and have served our country, after all, it's because of them that we have the freedom to go and enjoy the races! THANK YOU to all our men and women in the military, you truly are my HEROES!!!
See you at the races!

Hello race fans!
I hope everyone enjoyed their Mother's Day weekend! I know I did, I spent it with my family and my husband's family and we had a very nice day! I ate way too much, but I didn't want to offend anyone by not eating! LOL! It was a great day to relax and that's exactly what I did, even though I'm not a mom!
What a spectacular weekend for Denny Hamlin at the Darlington Raceway! First, he wins the Nationwide race over his teammate Kyle Busch on Friday night, then he wins the Southern 500 Saturday night in the Sprint Cup race! It was quite a busy weekend for him, and I'm sure his knee was ready for a break! It's the first time anyone has swept both races at that track in 17 years! So, way to go Denny! I'm sure his mom was proud!
Also, while our group was attending the races in Darlington, some of our customers, and our tour representative Stephanie Strausberger, were interviewed by a local TV station in Myrtle Beach! That is where our group stays for the races. They talked to them about how the races in Darlington boost the local economy. If you want to check out the video or the article that was in the paper, go to Lynch Tours & More facebook page and see what they all had to say!
Just heard that Brian Vickers was hospitalized for an undisclosed illness, and will not be racing this weekend at Dover. Casey Mears will be filling in for him until he is better and can return to the track. I don't know what the illness is, but it must be pretty serious for him to miss a race. My thoughts and prayers are with him and best wishes for a quick recovery!
Speaking of Dover, this is what I call my home track! I am looking forward to going to Sunday's Autism Speaks 400 with my family and with a group of Lynch Tours & More customers! We will be cooking out before the race and the weather looks like it's going to be perfect! It should be a blast! Don't forget, Lynch Tours also takes a group in the fall to Dover for both the Nationwide race and the Sprint Cup race. Check out our website at www.racetour.com for pricing or give us a call at 888-racetour if you are interested in going! Also, check out our other race tour packages some of which include, Charlotte, Bristol, Texas, Martinsville, and many more!
So, on that note, good luck to everyone this weekend at the Monster Mile! They don't just call it that for nothing! It will eat you up and spit you out faster than you can imagine! And if you're at the track, don't forget to stop by and say hi in the bus parking lot. Be safe and have a great weekend!
See you at the races!

Hello race fans!
Well, it looks like we've had two more exciting races since my last blog! The Aaron's 499 in Talladega being the first one, which as promised, provided some of the best racing I have seen in a long time! I think it's safe to say that the spoiler is a big hit and even though there were several wrecks, everyone stayed on all four wheels and no one was injured. And, there was even more drama between teammates Jimmy Johnson and Jeff Gordon. Now, I am not a Gordon fan, but I will tell you that what Jimmy did to him at the end of that race was totally wrong! Jimmy had to know that Jeff was coming with a full head of steam on the inside lane, so why he thought he could jump out in front of Jeff and get in line with him is beyond me! Jimmy's middle lane was not going anywhere, so if he wanted to get in the same line as Jeff, he should've waited until Jeff's line was past him and then tucked in behind them. I don't think there were alot of cars coming up on the inside if I remember correctly. I know he probably wanted to be in front, but wow, he could have triggered a very big accident that would have taken out alot of drivers! Thankfully, Jeff took the high road (or in this case the low lane!)and went below the yellow line and was shuffled back to the back of the pack, or else it could've gotten really ugly!!! Too bad for Jeff, because he got caught up in another wreck not of his doing. I would have been mad at Jimmy too! But, apparently Rick Hendrick sat down with the two of them and they supposedly got it straightened out. But, I bet there is alot more annomosity between the two of them then we will ever see! Now, having said all that, congratulations goes to Kevin Harvick on a spectacular win! What a great move he made on Jamie McMurray at the last second to get around him and beat him to the finish line! That was awesome!!!
Then, it was off to Richmond International Raceway for the Crown Royal Presents the Heath Calhoun 400. This is one of my most favorite tracks! I was there with Lynch Tours & More and a great group of customers! It was a perfect night for racing and though most of the race was not what we are used to seeing at Richmond, it was still a pretty exciting! The last twenty laps were very exciting and just when you thought Jeff Gordon was going to win, here comes Kyle Busch with two laps to go and steals the win! Kyle pretty much dominated the first part of the race and then he faded back for a while, but there he was at the end with four fresh tires and took the win! Congrats Kyle! I know Jeff was disappointed, but we all know it's only a mattter of time before he wins. My driver on the other hand, struggled most of the night. Denny started 30th, which is so uncharacteristic of him at that track, but he did manage to work his way up to the top ten before falling to eleventh at the end. Still, not a bad finish but I know he was disappointed!
Now we're off to Darlington Raceway this weekend! We will have a group there, so if you're there, stop by and say hi! Stephanie is the tour representative there this weekend with her husband Brian. I'm sure they will have a great time as always! Good luck to everyone at the Southern 500!
Also, don't forget this Sunday is Mother's Day! Make sure you take wonderful care of your mom's, they are very special people in our lives! And, to my mom and my mother-in-law, HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY, I LOVE YOU BOTH!
Have a great weekend and we'll see you at the races!

Jimmy's middle lane was not going anywhere, so if he wanted to get in the same line as Jeff, he should've waited until Jeff's line was past him and then tucked in behind them. I don't think there were alot of cars coming up on the inside if I remember correctly. I know he probably wanted to be in front, but wow, he could have triggered a very big accident that would have taken out alot of drivers! Thankfully, Jeff took the high road (or in this case the low lane!)and went below the yellow line and was shuffled back to the back of the pack, or else it could've gotten really ugly!!! Too bad for Jeff, because he got caught up in another wreck not of his doing. I would have been mad at Jimmy too! But, apparently Rick Hendrick sat down with the two of them and they supposedly got it straightened out. But, I bet there is alot more annomosity between the two of them then we will ever see! Now, having said all that, congratulations goes to Kevin Harvick on a spectacular win! What a great move he made on Jamie McMurray at the last second to get around him and beat him to the finish line! That was awesome!!!
Then, it was off to Richmond International Raceway for the Crown Royal Presents the Heath Calhoun 400. This is one of my most favorite tracks! I was there with Lynch Tours & More and a great group of customers! It was a perfect night for racing and though most of the race was not what we are used to seeing at Richmond, it was still a pretty exciting! The last twenty laps were very exciting and just when you thought Jeff Gordon was going to win, here comes Kyle Busch with two laps to go and steals the win! Kyle pretty much dominated the first part of the race and then he faded back for a while, but there he was at the end with four fresh tires and took the win! Congrats Kyle! I know Jeff was disappointed, but we all know it's only a mattter of time before he wins. My driver on the other hand, struggled most of the night. Denny started 30th, which is so uncharacteristic of him at that track, but he did manage to work his way up to the top ten before falling to eleventh at the end. Still, not a bad finish but I know he was disappointed!
Now we're off to Darlington Raceway this weekend! We will have a group there, so if you're there, stop by and say hi! Stephanie is the tour representative there this weekend with her husband Brian. I'm sure they will have a great time as always! Good luck to everyone at the Southern 500!
Also, don't forget this Sunday is Mother's Day! Make sure you take wonderful care of your mom's, they are very special people in our lives! And, to my mom and my mother-in-law, HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY, I LOVE YOU BOTH!
Have a great weekend and we'll see you at the races!

Hello race fans!
Well, there has been alot of things that have happened since my last blog! Where do I begin?!! First of all, I need to start with the race in Phoenix. As most of you know, my favorite driver is Denny Hamlin. Phoenix was his first race back after his knee surgery. And, even though it didn't go the way he planned, I have to give him alot of credit for running the entire race! I really questioned his decision, especially after going two laps down, but in the end, he didn't want to let his team down. I get that now, but at the time, I didn't think it was such a good idea! I hope it didn't set his recovery back, but I guess time will tell. As for the race, I thought it was pretty good. It was good to see Ryan Newman back in victory lane again! It was a long drought for him and his team, so congratulations to them! I have to tell you a story about Ryan that happened two years ago at the fall race in Charlotte . I was in the garage area with my husband Dean and my nephew Tucker, who has cerebral palsy. We were pushing Tucker around in a wheelchair (he can walk with crutches, but it's easier on him when we do alot of walking to use a wheelchair). A man came up to me and handed me a bag and said, "Don't ever say the Nationwide Series never gave you anything!" and he laughed and walked away. I said thank you and proceeded to look in the bag. Here it was a #12 Ryan Newman diecast car. one of the larger scale diecasts and I thought, wow, that's really cool! Now, keep in mind, they were probably getting rid of all of his items since he was going to Stewart-Haas racing the next year, but still I thought that was really nice. Now, I'm still not quite sure why a man from the Nationwide Series gave this to me, but whatever, I wasn't going to argue with him! Later on, the drivers started heading out to the stage for driver introductions, we were standing near the exit of the garage, when here come's Ryan with his wife and a guy from MRN radio doing an interview while he was walking beside him. I had told my nephew to get the diecast car out of the box, just in case we would see Ryan and boy am I glad he did! When Ryan saw us standing there with Tucker, without us even asking him anything, he walked right over to us, while he was doing his interview, and signed the car for Tucker!!! I was so shocked and amazed that he would do something like that when he could have easily just kept right on walking and talking without even acknowledging us! Ever since then, we have had a new found respect for Ryan, and now that he is with Tony Stewart (which happens to be Tucker's favorite driver) we all kind of like him a little, maybe even alot more than we did before! Thank you Ryan for an awesome experience!!!
Now, on to this past weekend's race in Texas. Wow, what can I say?!!! That race was awesome, and maybe I'm just saying that because Denny won, but even so, it was really exciting, especially at the end! Maybe we should start calling Denny, Monday Morning Denny! What an unbelievable task, not just winning the race, but winning it with a bum knee that was just operated on less than three weeks ago! Needless to say, I was ecstatic! Congratulations Denny! Also, congratulations to Kyle Busch on winning five in a row at Texas in the Nationwide Series race! Joe Gibbs racing had a spectacular weekend!
Also, what does everyone think of Kasey Kahne signing with Hendrick Motorsports to drive the #5 car starting in 2012? I was a little surprise, but not really. I know he has the talent, I just don't think he has the right equipment and with going to HMS, he will have some of the best equipment out there. The only question out there now is where will he be for next year? Everyone is speculating he will go to Stewart-Haas, which to me, would make the most sense, but one thing is for sure, he will be going in a Cup car and NOT a Nationwide Series car. Whatever he does, I wish him all the best!
This weekend's race should also produce some exciting racing! Talladega baby!!! I am really anxious to see how the new spoiler works this weekend. I know the drivers where somewhat pleased with it in Texas, but the real test is going to be to this weekend. It will be interesting to see if anyone gets airborne when the "big one" happens, and if they do, will the car come right back down to the ground or will they flip over! Let's hope they don't even get the chance to test them out, but if it does happen, hopefully they stay on the ground. I know I will be watching on the edge of my seat, to see what happens! So, good luck drivers and crew members. Have a great race and be safe and as always, I'll see you at the races!

Hello race fans!
I hope everyone had a very nice Easter last weekend! I know I did as I spent the day with my wonderful family! The Sprint Cup Series enjoyed their last weekend off until July 13th. The Nationwide Series ran in Nashville with Kyle Busch winning. Congratulations to him and kudos for not smashing the Sam Bass guitar!
Now, for the races in Phoenix this past weekend. Congrats to Ryan Newman for breaking his 77 race losing streak in the Sprint Cup Series race! I thought Kyle Busch had it wrapped up until that late caution. Once again, the driver leading the race with less than ten laps to go, fails to win. Also, kudos to Denny Hamlin for running the entire race after having knee surgery ten days earlier. I personally would have liked to see him get out of the car, especially after he went two laps down. But, he felt he owed it to his team to finish the race and not let them down. Way to go Denny! And once again, Kyle Busch won in the Nationwide series, which was a pretty exciting race. I thought Joey Logano was gonna pull that one off, but Kyle made an amazing sprint to the front after being penalized by NASCAR for jumping a restart. It kind of reminded me of Denny's win in Martinsville a few weeks ago! I was also a little surprised to see how few people were in the grandstands for that race! I sure hope things will pick up soon, and we start filling seats again. Don't forget, if you want to book a race tour, call Lynch Tours & More or check out our website at www.racetour.com and we will take care of all the work for you! Some of our upcoming trips we have availability for are Richmond, Darlington, Dover, Charlotte and many more!
And, in case you haven't heard, Kasey Kahne has signed on to drive for Hendrick Motorsports beginning in 2012! He will leave Richard Petty Motorsports at the end of this year. His plans for 2011 are still uncertain, but whereever he ends up, I wish him the best. He should do well at Hendrick, we all know he has great potential, I just think he needs to get in the right equipment. Stay tuned to see where he goes for next year.
Lastly, both series are headed to Texas Motor Speedway this weekend. I'm very anxious to see how the new spoiler is going to work there. I still don't think we have seen the full affect it has on the cars, but this weekend should be the true test. Good luck to everyone, be safe and as always, we'll see you at the races!

Hello race fans!
I apologize for not writing a new blog the last few weeks, no excuse just didn't get around to it! So, I must start out by saying congratulations to Jimmy Johnson (again!) on winning the Food City 500 in Bristol two weeks ago. I had to opportunity to attend the race as a Lynch Tours & More respresentative, with my niece Allison. It was a great weekend with a great group of customers! I was a little disappointed in the fact that my driver, Denny Hamlin, didn't do so well, but a 20th place finish after the day he had, isn't too bad. Also, it was the last race with the wing, which I'm sure some drivers will be happy to see go, others, not so much. Congratulations to Justin Allgaier on his very first Nationwide Series race! I was getting a little worried that his teammate, Brad Keselowski, was going to try to take him out for the win. Great job Justin!
Now, on to the Martinsville race. What can I say?! That was the most exciting finish I have seen to a race in a long time! I was actually not able to watch the race on Monday, as I was taking my sister for a test, she is fine, but I got a call from my husband Dean, and a text from my other sister, both in absolute shock as to what transpired at the end of that race! I couldn't believe what I heard! Pitting with eight laps to go while leading the race was not something I would have ever thought Mike Ford, crew chief for Denny, would have considered. But, on the other hand, you know that if they stayed out, everyone else was going to pit behind them. So, it was a situation where they were either going to be the hero, or zero. Thankfully, they were the hero's! Congratulations Denny!
And, of course there was the debut of the spoiler. I don't think it made any difference at Martinsville, we will probably have to wait until the Talladega race to see what affect it has on the cars. I am anxious to see if it makes any difference in keeping the cars on the ground. We will have to wait and see!
The Sprint Cup Series is off this weekend and the Nationwide Series is in Nashville, Tennessee.
I want to wish everyone a very happy and safe Easter holiday. I am cooking for twenty people on Sunday (I must be nuts!) and having an egg hunt for my neice and nephews. The weather looks like is is going to cooperate so I am looking forward to a wonderful day with family!
And lastly, don't forget to checkout Lynch Tours & More's website to book your next NASCAR race trip! We do tickets, hotel, and transportation. There's no other way to go to a race than with us! Thank you for your continued support and we look forward to seeing you at the races!

Hello race fans!
I was glad to see all of the responses to the Carl Edwards/Brad Keselowski situation on facebook. I knew there were going to be alot of mixed reactions, and sure enough there was! I was almost right on the punishment NASCAR handed down to Carl. I knew they would probably put him on probation, I just thought it would be until the end of the year. I was a little surprised to see it was only for three races. Kudos to NASCAR for not giving Carl a more severe penalty. I was pretty sure they wouldn't just because of the "have at boys" attitude they want to put back into the sport. It must have worked, because everyone has been talking about it ever since it happened! Brad still says he's not going to change his driving style, and that's ok, but he better be prepared to take whatever he dishes out! I saw on Denny Hamlin's twitter page that he went into a restaurant the other day and who is sitting two tables over from him? You guessed it, Brad! Denny referred to him as Brad Crashelotski on twitter! But, I guess Denny took it back as Brad sent a bottle of wine over to Denny's table. Does this mean there is a truce between the two? I doubt it, but stay tuned to see what happens next!
Now, they're off to Bristol where there's almost a guarantee that one or more drivers will leave there mad at another driver! I will be very anxious to see if the racing is going to be anything like it was before they widened the track. Now that they've added the safer barriers in turns two and four, they say it should make for better racing. I can't wait to find out! I am actually down in Tennessee with my niece already, gearing up for the races this weekend. Lynch Tours & More will have two buses down there, so stop by and see us. Just look for our banners in the front window!
I wanted to let all you sprint car fans know that Lynch Tours is doing a bus trip down to Charlotte in November for the World of Outlaws finals. They will be crowning their champions in all three series, sprint cars, modifieds, and late models. If you're interested, please check out the information on Lynch Tours & More's facebook page, or call us at our office at 888-racetour (722-3868) for all the details!
Good luck to all the drivers this weekend, I'm sure they will need it! If you can't make it to the race, be sure to watch it on TV. You won't want to miss short track racing at it's finest! Thanks for all the comments and please keep them coming!
As always, see you at the races!

Hello race fans!
Sorry I didn't get to write a blog before this weekend's race at Atlanta. I was very busy this week, no excuse, but I plan to make up for it now.
First of all, I need to say congratulations to Jimmy Johnson, again, for winning last week's race in Las Vegas. Also, the same goes to Kevin Harvick on winning the truck race there. Looked like there was a descent crowd there, but didn't look like a sellout like the track said it was. I guess it looked good on TV though.
Now on to this week's races in Atlanta. First off, all you Jr. nation fans should have been happy to see Dale get his first pole in a very long time. I was really holding out hope, for all of you, that he would have a good race. But, once again things went downhill and he didn't have a very good day. Never led a lap, but he did manage to finish 15th, thanks to all of the late race accidents. Hang in there Jr. fans, he will come around, eventually! Secondly, how about that wild wreck between Carl Edwards and Brad Keselowski?!!! Now, don't everyone get mad at me, but I am not going to defend Brad. He and Denny have a history too and you know who I always stick up for! Having said that, I never want to see anyone get hurt, but these drivers have been saying things about Brad for the past year now, and everyone kept saying, you can only do so many things, so many times, and someone is going to pay him back. Well, now it has happened and everyone is up in arms about it! This is what everyone wanted people!!! NASCAR said they were going to put it back in the driver's hands and go back to old school racing. Well, in my eyes, that's exactly what it was! You know very well, that if Brad's car wouldn't have gone airborne, we wouldn't be sitting here talking about it that much. I'm sure Carl didn't expect Brad's car to do what it did, but Carl had enough of the beatin and bangin that Brad does, and he wasn't going to put up with it anymore. Now, I know he was many laps down, but how many times have you seen another car get up behind someone who has wrecked them and gave them a tap, even if they were several laps down? It doesn't always turn out the way it did today, but it's not the first nor the last time it will happen. I know I will probably make some people mad, but remember, these are only MY opinions. It will be interesting to see what NASCAR does with Carl. I predict they will put him on probation until the end of the year, and maybe fine him, but I don't think they will take any points away from him. I could be wrong, but if they start doing that again, they are going to have to be consistent and then they are going back on what they were trying to accomplish by letting the driver's handle it themselves. We shall see. Let me know what your thoughts are on it. Would love to hear them!
I guess it's a good thing the Sprint Cup Driver's are off this weekend. They need time to cool off after all the excitement! But, then it's off to Bristol Motor Speedway where tempers are sure to flair! I can't wait for the beatin and bangin on the world's fastest half mile! If anyone is going to the races, stop by and see me. Look for the buses with the Lynch Tours & More banners in the windows. I am looking forward to this race, as it will be the first one of the year for me. Bringing along my neice. She is very excited about going as she hasn't been there in a very long time!
So, stay tuned for what's sure to be some kind of penalties, for Carl Edwards. We should know by Tuesday. Good luck to all of the drivers headed to Bristol in two weeks. And, all you race fans, try not to go through withdrawal these next two weeks. Hang in there, and as always, I'll see you at the races!

You know very well, that if Brad's car wouldn't have gone airborne, we wouldn't be sitting here talking about it that much. I'm sure Carl didn't expect Brad's car to do what it did, but Carl had enough of the beatin and bangin that Brad does, and he wasn't going to put up with it anymore. Now, I know he was many laps down, but how many times have you seen another car get up behind someone who has wrecked them and gave them a tap, even if they were several laps down? It doesn't always turn out the way it did today, but it's not the first nor the last time it will happen. I know I will probably make some people mad, but remember, these are only MY opinions. It will be interesting to see what NASCAR does with Carl. I predict they will put him on probation until the end of the year, and maybe fine him, but I don't think they will take any points away from him. I could be wrong, but if they start doing that again, they are going to have to be consistent and then they are going back on what they were trying to accomplish by letting the driver's handle it themselves. We shall see. Let me know what your thoughts are on it. Would love to hear them!
I guess it's a good thing the Sprint Cup Driver's are off this weekend. They need time to cool off after all the excitement! But, then it's off to Bristol Motor Speedway where tempers are sure to flair! I can't wait for the beatin and bangin on the world's fastest half mile! If anyone is going to the races, stop by and see me. Look for the buses with the Lynch Tours & More banners in the windows. I am looking forward to this race, as it will be the first one of the year for me. Bringing along my neice. She is very excited about going as she hasn't been there in a very long time!
So, stay tuned for what's sure to be some kind of penalties, for Carl Edwards. We should know by Tuesday. Good luck to all of the drivers headed to Bristol in two weeks. And, all you race fans, try not to go through withdrawal these next two weeks. Hang in there, and as always, I'll see you at the races!

Hello race fans!
I hope everyone on the east coast is surviving this very cold and snowy winter. I know I am so ready for spring! It's actually snowing right now as I write this blog! Well, what did you think of this past weekend's race in California? I was a little disappointed in the race, the only exciting part was at the end when Kevin Harvick tried to run down Jimmie Johnson. Too bad for Kevin when he scraped the wall and lost his momentum, I really think he would have won if it hadn't been for that. But, congratulations, AGAIN, to Jimmy for winning another race! Did anyone notice the lack of spectators in the grandstands? This continues to make me wonder why California has two race dates! I was shocked at how little amount of people were there. I think NASCAR really needs to look at this. I know that Kansas will likely get a second date, but I hope they are not considering taking away a date from somewhere like Martinsville. California should be the obvious choice, and if they start taking away more short tracks, we will soon have all of the same type of tracks on the circuit. I think we all need to voice our opinion to NASCAR if we want to keep tracks like Martinsville! They seem to be listening to the fans, so I know I will do my part in letting them know we should keep it, so I hope you will do the same.
I am hearing that there will be a test for the Sprint Cup drivers on March 16th for the new "spoiler" that NASCAR is putting on the cars. The test is at Talladega and is open to the public free of charge. So those of you living near the track, go out and see for yourselves how the test goes. Also, you can bring your own food and drink. Can't think of a better way to spend the day!
Also, saw on Jayski.com that Carl Edwards and his wife Kate finally had their baby! A little girl named Anne Edwards and she was born today, Feb. 25th. Both mom and baby are doing fine and Carl said that Kate is having a little trouble burping the little one! He stated, "a whole new world". Congratulations and best wishes to both of them!
Time to head to sin city, Las Vegas! Drivers are gearing up for this weekend's race and it should be a good one. Can anyone stop Jimmie Johnson and, will Dale Jr. finally get his act together and get a good finish? Will Danica Patrick have a better finish than her two previous starts? I certainly hope so, but I think she is learning and doing all the right things. We will find out soon enough! Good luck to all the drivers this weekend and be safe!
See you at the races!

Hello race fans!
WOW!!! What a spectacular race on Sunday! Congratulations to Jamie McMurray on his Daytona 500 win! I personally thought it was some of the best racing I've seen there in a long time. With the exception of the pothole (don't blame NASCAR, it wasn't their fault) the racing seemed to be much better with the bigger restrictor plate. Although, I was a little worried when everyone got on the track to practice for the Bud Shootout. There were alot of accidents which seemed to be the result of the faster closing rate which comes from the larger plates. Once everyone figured that out, things settled down. But starting with the Bud Shootout, that produced some excitement, though I have to admit, it wasn't as exciting as I thought it was going to be. Congrats goes to Kevin Harvick on another win there! The last few laps produced most of the excitement, and I was very worried we were going to see little racing for the rest of Speedweeks. But, the Duel 150's were very good and had some of the closest finishes I've seen at that track and the Nationwide and Sprint Cup races were fantastic!
Now on to the Nationwide race. For all of you Danica skeptics, I think she proved herself to be a true racer. She did a fantastic job in the ARCA race and even though she crashed out of the Nationwide race, she did play it smart, when she felt uncomfortable she moved to the back of the field. Unfortunately , in doing so, she ended up getting caught up in someone else's wreck. I think the true test will come this weekend end in California. She certainly isn't afraid to get in there and mix it up with the boys! Good luck to her and all the drivers this weekend!
Lastly, I was so impressed with Jamie McMurray's interviews following his big win. He seems like such a genuine person, and to see the emotion he showed really was a true testiment to how much everyone wants to win this race. I like to see the raw emotion, cause I think it puts into perspective that these guys and girls are just like everyone else. They are human beings! Way to go Jamie and thanks for a great race and great finish!
Also, congratulations goes out to Elliott Sadler and his wife Amanda on the birth of their son on Monday morning! Talk about cutting it close! Carl Edwards and his wife Kate are anxiously awaiting the birth of their child this week. Best wishes to them!
Now off to California! I think the season really starts here. So having said that, good luck to everyone and be safe!

Hello race fans!
Well, here we are only four days away from the start of the 2010 NASCAR season. I am so excited as I think this year will be a year of big change for the sport. I'm so glad that NASCAR has finally listened to the fans and put the racing back into the hands of the drivers. We will now see bump drafting all they way around the track at both Daytona and Talladega! Also, they are getting bigger restrictor plates, which will make the speeds a little faster. It should make the racing much more exciting for the fans and should also make most of the drivers happy too. I'm sure there are a few who don't like the new rules, but let's face it, unless they change something so they aren't all bunched up, (and we know that will never happen), there are those who will never like restrictor plate racing. To that I say, suck it up boys, if you can't race with the big boys, then don't race at all! Also, they are going back to the spoiler instead of the wing, (which I actually liked the look of) so we shall see how all that plays out. Kudos to you NASCAR!!!
So, how many of you out there think Dale Jr. will have a better year this year? I don't think it could be any worse than it was last year! Now, most of you know I am not a Dale Jr. fan, but I will say that I feel for the guy. He's always been compared to his father and honestly, I don't think he's anything like him. But, obviously he's struggling and with the best equipment in the sport, so he needs to figure out what the problem is and start winning races! He needs to win and NASCAR needs him to win. I'm not quite sure where the problem lies, but I'm thinking maybe he never could adjust to the COT car. Maybe with NASCAR bringing back the spoiler, is just what Jr. needs. After all, he won all but one of his races with a wing on his car. We shall see, but he's a good bet for Saturday nights Budweiser Shootout.
Lastly, just a little side note for the upcoming season. Looks like NASCAR is going to see a baby boom soon! As most of you know, Carl Edwards and his wife are expecting, and very soon I think, Elliott Sadler and his wife are also going to become first time parents in a few months, but the biggest shocker to me is that Jimmie Johnson and his wife Chandra are also going have a little one in July! I'm not quite sure why I was so shocked to hear that, but I was. I guess winning four championships was enough to secure their future financially! lol!!! Best wishes to all of the couples and I pray all of them have healthy and happy babies!
Now, don't forget to tune into SPEED at 4:30pm this Saturday to see if Danica Patrick makes her much anticipated stockcar debut! And then, the season starts with the Budweiser Shootout Saturday night at 8:00 on FOX. Then Sunday, it's qualifying for the Daytona 500 on FOX at 1:00pm. This will only guarantee the front row for the Great American race. The rest of the field will be determined with next Thursday's Gatorade Duels. Also, if you are in Daytona for the weekend of the 500, Lynch Tours & More will be there so stop by our bus and say hello! Good luck to everyone this weekend and next and be safe.

Hello race fans!
HAPPY NEW YEAR! I hope everyone enjoyed the holidays and is ready to start the 2010 NASCAR race season! I can't believe it, but Daytona is only about six weeks away and I can already sense the excitement!
A few story lines took place from the last time I wrote on my blog. First of all, Danica Patrick made it official by signing with JR Motorsports to run a limited Nationwide series schedule in 2010. She is making her stockcar debut in the ARCA race at Daytona next month. It sounds like she will officially start a Nationwide race in California, the weekend after Daytona. I am excited for her, but as I said in my previous blogs, she certainly has her work cut out for her. I have been following her on Twitter, and she is really excited to get started on her new venture. I know that she probably has high expectations for herself. but I think she has to think realisticly and just try to finish all the races she starts in and get that valuable seat time. Good luck Danica! Second, NASCAR changed the format for the Budweiser Shootout at Daytona. The field will consist of the twelve 2009 Chase drivers, past Sprint Cup series champions, past Budweiser Shootout winners, past Daytona points race winners, and the reigning rookie of the year in the Sprint Cup series. Now, I am not going to say anything other than it's certainly better than how they did things last year, which was to take the top six points finishers from each manufacturer. But, I will say that a certain someone was not in the Shootout last year, and this year he will be. I'm sure that will make a lot of fans happy! And last, Richard Childress Racing lost one of their own on Christmas night. DJ Richardson died from complications of the H1N1 virus at the age of 37. He was the rear tire changer for the #29 car of Kevin Harvick. My condolences go out to his entire family.
As we start out this new year, I can't help but think about how great 2009 was. We saw history made at the season finale at Homestead Miami Speedway. Jimmy Johnson won four consecutive championships, and Hendrick Motorsports finished 1-2-3 in the points, something no other team has ever done in NASCAR history. It certainly was an exciting year and I can't help but think that 2010 is going to be even better yet! I would love to hear what your favorite moment was for 2009 and who you think can win the Sprint Cup Series Championship this year. I don't know if I want to predict the winner, since I didn't do a very good job of picking last year's winner. If you remember, my pick was Tony Stewart. Of course, I will be pulling for my favorite driver, Denny Hamlin who finished the 2009 season very strong, including a win at the last race of the year. Whoever it will be, there's sure to be alot of drama and excitement by the time we get to Homestead-Miami. Good luck to all the drivers this year!
Lastly, I would like to tell all of my fans and followers that if anyone is looking to go to the Great American race, the Daytona 500, you can go to Lynch Tours & More's new and improved website at http://www.racetour.com/ and check out our prices for this race. We are still in the construction phase, but we do have a list of all the races Lynch Tours will be attending this year, and pricing for the entire 2010 schedule will be listed very soon.

As always, I'll see you at the races!
