I've been a bit out of touch. It's that time of year when we are so close to the end of racing that I am running out of steam. Call me a bad race fan but I look forward to the break. I believe the racing season is longer than in any other sport. (Correct me if I'm wrong.)

If you haven't gotten a chance to read this article on nascar.com, you should. It kind of made me feel a bit better about the whole unknown of whether or not we might lose a race at the newly named New Hampshire Motor Speedway.

Even before reading this article, what stands out in the teleconference that was held last Friday to announce the sale of NHMS was that Bruton Smith said that New Englanders would be happy with what he was going to do at the track. I would think he must realize that if we lost a race there that many wouldn't be all that happy about it. Maybe he is completely filling us with baloney, but I do not know. I want to believe that he isn't.

What do you think?
