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.

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!
