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!
