Hello race fans!

Well, here we are, halfway through the Chase! Only five more races to go and it looks like it's coming down to three drivers. Jimmy Johnson, Denny Hamlin and Kevin Harvick. You all know who I have my money on, I'm not giving up hope just yet!

The last two races have been quite exciting! California sure was interesting as we saw Tony Stewart take the victory. But once again, no one really gained any points on Jimmie as he finished third. Then, there was Charlotte this past weekend. I thought when Jimmie spun out at that it was going to be a bad night for him, but of course not! He didn't hit anything, came in and pitted and ended up finishing third again! Once again, no one gained any ground! But, I would like to say congratulations to Jamie McMurray on his win in the Bank of America 500! He certainly knows how to win at the big races this year! I absolutely loved his speech in victory lane! He explained why he cried when he won the Daytona 500 this year. He didn't know the year before if he would even have a ride, much less be standing in victory lane at the 2010 season opener. He seemed so humbled by everything and credits everything to the power of prayer! I say AMEN to that!

Was wondering what everyone thought of the big news about Kasey Kahne leaving Richard Petty Motorsports? Sounds like things were not so great there anyway, so I guess it's good he left when he did. Looks like he will be in the #83 Red Bull car which will be changed to the #4 since that's the number he had when he drove sprint cars. I hope everything works out for him, I think he is a very talented driver and deserves to be in good equipment. Also hoping that RPM can stay afloat, it would be a real shame if they had to close their doors. The economy has really hit everyone hard, including teams like that, so good luck to them! I hope everything works out for everyone!

Well, I'm off to Martinsville this weekend with my husband and nephew! Looking forward to a great time with them and my Lynch Tours customers! I know it's gonna be exciting and I hope my driver, Denny Hamlin, comes home with another win! I hope it doesn't come down to him and Jimmy, we need Jimmmy to finish further back, waaaayyy further back! GO GET EM' DENNY!

Have a great weekend everyone and I'll see you at the races!
