We are wintering close to the race track. We've gone for several years, but chose to watch on tv this year, but did watch the jets fly over after the National Anthem. We were pulling for Jr., but since he couldn't win, what a birthday present for the 20 yr. old.

My daughter is still excited that Trevor Bayne won the race! She has decided that she is going to cheer for him because they share a birthday! He turned 20, she turned 10!!! She thought him winning was great birthday present!!

Now that's what I call a good race! Hated to see so many taken out in the big wreck, but Nascar has made the changes because it's what the "fans" want to see. I live smack dab in the middle of NASCAR country and have 1 shop about a mile from my house, Ryan Newman is a close by neighbor, Dale Jr lives about 5 miles from us (it's still weird to see him at the grocery store buying milk :)and several others go to my church. I still love racing as always, it just makes it so much more fun when you know some of them!

I did watch it! How about Trevor Bayne? Such a fresh, wonderful spirit and seems like a really nice young man. My hubby is a Tony Steward fan. My favorite seems to change from week to week. I like Mark Martin because he's older -- but I kinda wish Jr. could have won yesterday. I thought he and Tony would have a chance there at the end.
