March 2009

This week NASCAR racing takes us to Atlanta which is sad for me since I won’t be going to the first place I ever saw a race. I am planning on taking in the race during Labor Day weekend so I will just have to sit in front on the tv and watch it like so many others. The first time I went to the races I really didn’t have a favorite driver so I joined the bandwagon of Dale Jr fans since it was like 80 million people in the stands all rooting for him.

This year I will be watching and having a few beers in my Dale Jr glass. Although they call it a mixing glass I use it because its so big I don’t have to make many trips to the fridge to refill it. I can watch more of the race this way and use the commercials for just bathroom breaks. Kind of like just getting four tires and no fuel if you think about it.

I am waiting for the race to start in a few hours from one of my favorite tracks: Las Vegas. While it is really not a super speedway that I love the track is big enough to see some serious speed. When they redesigned the racetrack a few years back they increased that banking making racing much more fun.

It will be interesting to see if the Busch brothers do well at their home track. They qualified both #1 and #2 for the race, which was good for me since I picked them for my NASCAR fantasy league.
