*Lee USA Speedway
After 3 weeks of trying the fourth time was the lucky charm and they were finally able to get in a full night of racing! I was there to watching rookie Joey Lovejoy race his #23 Late Model and wasn’t disappointed! Starting out the night in his second time every driving ANY kind of racecar I was a little on the nervous side on what to expect. However I was very surprised at the level of what must be raw talent? After working so much on the crew of Ben Rowe it looks like he might have picked up on some of the winning techniques. He held his line, stayed on the white line, and most importantly stayed out of trouble. They held double features and no heats due to the rainouts that had yet to start the season. The first feature he finished just outside of the top 10 in 11th position and in the second feature he claimed his first top 5! I’m glad I went it made the trip there and back worth it!

*NASCAR Nationwide Series
Winner: Kyle Busch
Kyle is the man this year. He can fall into a pile of shit and still come out smelling like a rose.
*NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series
Winner: Donny Lia
Watched the last few laps…weird….Donny Lia? Seriously? Hmm okay.
*Beech Ridge Motor Speedway
My hometrack, my friends, my family … and all are still a bunch of idiots. This was the night of the Super Sportsman 100 one of the few events that are looked forward to all year. My “team” that I’m with races this division and while I decided to show up right before the green flag versus my 4 hours earlier to sit in the hot sun watching tempers flare … it didn’t take long before I caught up to speed on what happened earlier in the day.
Perhaps that is because the same thing happens over and over again. Regardless of where I am and who I’m with. The race took an extraordinary long amount of time to complete because people couldn’t open their eyes. (However, it was still shorter then the next days Coastal 200 appeared to have been). I got out of there around 1115-1130. Fun stuff!
*Indy 500
Winner: Scott Dix
Didn’t watch much of this race…just the highlights (which happened to be more of a mad Danica storming off then the actual winner Scott Dix)…I like the history of it but I just can’t watch Indy or Formula 1 or those….they sound like bees…
I hate bees.

*NASCAR Sprint Cup Series
Winner: Kasey Kahne
I like Kasey…I do, honest. However I would have liked to have seen someone else win – especially since his win in the All-Star challenge he’s become a very rich guy in the past 7 days! Maybe I liked last years better because the winner was my boy, my underdog! Who knows…but in between all the other races locally going on that I was getting updates from and the other things on tv it was an “alright” race…but I happen to like the longer races that go from day to night becuase you really start to see who’s crew is on their “game” not just in preparation but mentally as well. Many teams changed 180 percent from the green flag to the checkered!
*Portland Sea Dogs Vs. New Britain Rock Cats @ Home

Now I will admit that watching baseball on TV is sooo much easier just like in Football (they have the lines to show me where they play from!). Anyways…it was hard for me to follow it like I can on tv but it’s something I will have to learn and learn to appreciate…which basically means I have to actually watch the game and not just the cute boys in uniform!!!
But it was a great game…albeit hot. I had a lot of fun and I can see myself going back many times…for 9 bucks you can’t beat it! … well maybe if you throw in an extra dollar you get a race … that might beat it! =)
