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!
