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!
