Hello race fans!
Once again I am lax in writing my blogs lately! No excuses this time, just really busy! Hope everyone is enjoying the race season so far, I am somewhat, still bummin about Denny. I thought Martinsville and Texas were going to be good tracks for him, but that didn't turn out the way I wanted it too! It did however, turn out great for Kevin Harvick at Martinsville and Matt Kenseth at Texas! Kevin won his second race in a row and Matt broke a seventy six race losing streak. The Martinsville race was pretty exciting but found the Texas race to be a bit boring. It's one of those mile and a half, cookie cutter tracks that can sometimes be exciting and sometimes be boring. Oh well, that's all about to change this weekend in Talladega!
So, who thinks the racing this weekend is going to be the way it was at Daytona this year? Will there be the two car drafts again or could it be single file racing that we've seen there before? I would love to see the three and four wide packs all day, but I don't think that's going to happen! It still should be a great race and who knows, maybe this will be the race where Dale Earnhardt Jr. breaks that long losing streak! He's been doing pretty good this year, looks like having Steve Letarte as his crew chief has really made a big difference. Guess we'll have to wait and find out! I actually will be at the races this weekend with a Lynch Tours & More group. I'm really looking forward to my first race of the year! I'm taking my sister, niece and nephew along with me, we are making the long drive to Atlanta, where our group will be staying. Should be a great time, so if you're at the races this weekend, stop by and say hi, we'll be in the fourth turn bus parking lot!
After the races, my family and I are heading to the beautiful city of Savannah, Georgia for a couple of days! While we're there, we are going to check out Paula Deen's restaurant! Anybody ever been there? I've heard it's great and I love watching Paula on her cooking show on the Food Network! Who knows, maybe we'll see her there! NOT! Anyway, looking forward to a fun week!
Don't forget, Lynch Tours & More is taking a group of people to the inaugural race at Kentucky Speedway in July. Don't miss this opportunity to see the Sprint Cup Series make their debut at this mile and a half, tri-oval speedway! We are offering two different hotel locations, one is an airport property for those who want to fly and have shuttle service to the hotel. Check out our website at www.racetour.com for all the information. We look forward to hearing from you!
Everyone have a great weekend and until next time, see you at the races!

Hello race fans!
I would like to start out by apologizing for not writing a blog for the past few weeks. It's been a very difficut month of March as my mother-in-law Esther, was sick and passed away on March 14th. She had been battling cancer for the last eight years and it finally was too much for her. She passed away peacefully and her family will miss her dearly. So, thank you for being patient with me as I took time to be with family over the past several weeks.
Now onto the business of racing! It's been so long since I blogged, I almost forgot who won what races! lol! On my last blog, the series was headed to Las Vegas where Carl Edwards did his signature back flip after his win! Then it was off to the short track, Bristol Motor Speedway. That weekend started off kind of strange with all the tire issues, but in the end the problem was taken care of and Kyle Busch completed the double by winning both Nationwide Series and Sprint Cup Series races! And, last week it was California style racing as Kevin Harvick passed Jimmie Johnson on the last turn on the last lap to take the win! Great finish to a somewhat boring race, but that's California for ya!!!
I have to say, I am a little bit bummed by Denny Hamlin's start so far this season. I know he usually always starts out a little slow, but this is not what I was hoping for. This weekend's race in Martinsville should be just what the doctor ordered! Qualifying was on just prior to me writing this today and Denny starts fifth! Hopefully that's a good sign that he will have a great run!
News has been kind of quiet in the world of NASCAR these past few weeks so not much going on to talk about. One thing I will say is that I'm happy to hear that the TV ratings have been up from last year at most of the races so far. Not quite sure what has changed except maybe the new point system, could that be it? Maybe it's because Dale Earnhardt Jr. is doing better, that certainly would be a good thing. Whatever the reason is, maybe this is a sign of good things to come after a rough couple of years with the economy.
The Sprint Cup Series is headed to Martinsville, Virginia this weekend and this is one of my most favorite tracks! It ranks right up there with Bristol and Richmond! Lots of beatin' and bangin' gonna go on there and I can't wait! Jamie McMurray is starting from the pole so be sure to tune in on Sunday to watch at 1:00pm ET on FOX!
Lastly, Lynch Tours & More has been continuously updating our website with pricing for upcoming races, so be sure to check it out at www.racetour.com If you have any questions, give us a call at 888-RACETOUR!
SEE YOU AT THE RACES!!!
