Hello race fans!

I can't believe that the 2011 NASCAR season is almost upon us! It seems like just yesterday that Jimmie Johnson was celebrating his historic fifth Sprint Cup Series Championship at Homestead-Miami Speedway! I know I am extremely excited about the upcoming season as there will be some new changes, though not earth shattering, in all three series! Most notably in the Sprint Cup series with the new points system, the removal of the catch can on pit road and not to mention several different drivers getting into new rides! WOW, it's going to be a so much fun to watch it all play out!

So, who is bold enough to make any early predictions about who's going to win this years Sprint Cup Championship? I obviously have not done well in my predictions in the past, so I am not even going there!!! But I would love to hear from you guys! Will it be a Hendrick Motorsports driver, a Joe Gibbs driver or even a Richard Childress driver? All three of these teams had a driver finish in the top three so my bet, (if I were to make one), would have to be from one of these teams. However, you can't count out anyone, especially those who finished in the top twelve in points in 2010.

So, anyone heading to any races this year? Of course, you know that Lynch Tours & More and myself will be back in action to help you get to the race track.

Thank you again for continuing to read my blog and I look forward to an especially exciting race season! I continue to be a huge Denny Hamlin fan and will be cheering him on this year with hopes of finally getting the big trophy at the end of the season.

As always, see you at the races!
