I'm back, injured, but back

Hey, anonymous, thanks for noticing I've been gone a while.

I had an encounter with some pavement and broke my wrist on May 15. I'm still in a cast, but back nonetheless.

How's this for dedication - I went to the Coke 600. Had tickets on the start/finish line, and no sidewalk was going to get the best of me. Met lots of good race fans in Concord and got to see Humpy Wheeler retire. It was a might uncomfortable with a cast on the right paw, but folks I'd never met were always quick to help out.

As for the races, Brett Rowe and the Marshall car wrecked in qualifying for the Carquest, and Tony had a tire go down to lose the 600. And he'd have climbed the fence right in front of me. Words on the team radio weren't especially nice and I was jumping up and down screaming, "No! No!" Kasey Khane (whoo!) won the race. That wasn't so exciting, but I did pick him in the pool among my friends. And I still say he has the nicest mom in NASCAR. Tammy is a sweetheart. Here's a pic of me with her about a year ago.



Back to the Nationwide event on Saturday. Big brawl at the end of the race. You KNEW it was going to happen when out of the corners of your eyes you saw entire pit crews going over the wall and racing toward the middle of pit road. Brad Keselowski's from one end, Denny Hamlin's from the other. The Charlotte Observer ran a nearly half-page above the fold photo of the tussle. I'm scrapbooking that pic!

Well, nevertheless, I'm back at the helm. More stuff to come when I get caught up on work and racing locally.

Thanks for being patient!
