Permanent Link For Entry #455

Sun

We were up late working yesterday, got to my motel by 4 am. The race already started today, should be able to take a break and get some lunch. I think I saw a Longhorn in the area, I am going to see if I can track it down

Watched the Busch series race yesterday from the Grand Stands, it was cool. You can never get over how loud the cars are. Jeff Burton passed Matt Kenseth with 20 laps remaining and raced away to his first NASCAR Busch Series victory in four years.

Burton is a regular with Richard Childress Racing in the Nextel Cup Series and only a part-time performer in Busch. He beat runner-up Kasey Kahne, who won last week in Las Vegas, to the finish line by 1.42 seconds -- nearly half the final straightaway on the 1.54-mile Atlanta Motor Speedway oval -- to take the Nicorette 300.

My flight tomorrow morning has been cancelled due to the weather conditions expected. I am going to see if I can rebook on an earlier flight
