It’s Tuesday. Ouch. Connor Zilisch avoided several on-track incidents during Saturday’s Nascar Xfinity race, only to get injured after the race. That’s right, after winning at Watkins Glen he took the car to Victory Lane. He climbed out on top of his car to celebrate the win and lost his footing, falling headfirst to the concrete surface below. He was quickly taken to the hospital where it was revealed that he had sustained a broken collarbone, but thankfully no head injuries.

It’s unknown when Connor will be able to return to racing again.

It’s Monday. A bunch of my girlfriend’s family came into town on Saturday. We all got together for the afternoon at Merichka’s Restaurant in Crest Hill, Illinois. Merichka’s is very well known for their Poorboys and have been serving them up since 1933. I’ve been there many, many times and never once ordered anything else. They’re just so damn good. Anyway, we all had a really good time and left the restaurant with full bellies. Afterward some of the group came back to our place and hung out for a while. It was a good time.

Our Sunday was the complete opposite. We got up late, did very little of anything, and just hung around the house. Played with the dog, watched the race at Watkins Glen, and had leftover Poorboys! Not a bad way to balance out the weekend.

It’s Friday! We’re back into the extreme heat & humidity again. Not sure how long it’s going to last this time. Thankfully it was nice last weekend for the Crossroads Festival near Joliet. I was out there for most of the weekend checking out a few bands, the food, and on Sunday they had a fairly decent car show. I snapped a few photos at the show and put them into a gallery below.

Double babes, double jokes, and a huge gallery of incredible cars… enjoy!
