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!
