It’s Monday. Had a really good weekend. Got together with a buddy Friday night to check out some short track stock car racing at the Grundy County Speedway. They held twin 25 lap features for all 5 divisions: Late Model, Sportsman, Street Stock, Pure Stock & Midwest Super Cup. We had an absolute blast and enjoyed every minute. I’m still picking the rubber out of my hair!
And speaking of racing, the Nascar Cup series had the weekend off while coverage switches from Fox to NBC. However, Tony Stewart’s SRX Racing Series kicked off its season Saturday night in Pensacola, Florida. From what I understand, all the drivers are former Nascar and Indycar drivers like Bill Elliott, Bobby Labonte, Michael Waltrip, and Marco Andretti. The season consists of 6 races held at 6 different short tracks primarily on the East Coast. I missed the heat races but the feature race was really cool. They’re extremely competitive but you could tell they were all having fun. The goal in creating this series was to get away from all the overwhelming Nascar rules and bring the fun back into racing, and I think they nailed it! Watch race #2 next Saturday night on CBS when they race at the South Boston Speedway in Virginia.
I hope all the Dad’s out there had a good Father’s Day.

Good day Keeper, I have a next-door neighbor who bought a Mustang Mach-E last July – images attached. He has not offered me to test drive it at this time.
In May he decided he needed something to reset his mind with a toy and went and bought this 2019 Corvette with 9,000 miles. Needless to say, I have not been offered a test drive of this one either.
Since he bought the Corvette, the Mustang has been relegated to parking outside.
Now the downside of this – he’s my middle child and has driven all my cars regardless of their age, (new or used, and types of vehicles family to sports car), since he was 16.
