Now we are even!

Okay, so Dale Earnhardt, J., won the Bud Shootout at Daytona on Saturday night. Kellie is overjoyed, and has been strutting ever since. Maybe it was his new teammates Jimmie Johnson (who is my favorite) and Jeff Gordon (who is Kellie's least favorite) that motivated him to cross the finish line first.
I took a lot of ribbing when my Jersey Giants won the Super Bowl.
So Kellie and I are even at this point in time!
I have a feeling that both Johnson and Gordon will win more races than Junior this year, but we'll see!

Nascar is back!

The wait is over! Nascar Sprint Cup racing starts tonight, with the 'preseason' tuneup races at Daytona. I had a chance to visit the Martinsville Speedway when I was up in south Virginia this week. It was a ghost town, but I had never been at a short track before (except for Senoia and Seven Flags). The gate was open, and we were tempted to take our Chrysler 300 rental car around for a few laps! Kellie is getting psyched for Junior's new 88 car ride. I'll stick with Jimmie Johnson (can't give up on a winner!).

More to follow.
