Racing Weekend

It’s Monday. Had some decent weather over the weekend for the Route 66 NHRA Nationals in Joliet, Illinois. My favorite former NASCAR driver Tony Stewart claimed his second-career NHRA Top Fuel win yesterday, running 329.10 MPH to take down a 15-time winner Justin Ashley. Even better, Stewart now has the points lead in the division. If he wins the championship, it would put him in a category of his own.

NASCAR was in North Wilkesboro, North Carolina, for the annual All-Star race. This is always a fun race to watch because it’s about one thing and one thing only—the one million dollars! There are no points, it’s only about winning a cool million and that’s exactly what Christopher Bell did.

Next Sunday is the high holy day of racing. The day starts with the 109th running of the Great American Race, the Indianapolis 500. After that is NASCAR’s longest race, the Coca-Cola 600 at the Charlotte Motor Speedway in Concord, North Carolina. That’s a lot of racing action for one day, but I’m already prepared with extra beer and munchies.
