AAAhhhh, I'm back. I'm sorry I left you hanging last week. I am sure you were sitting there scratching your head wondering who I was going to pick to win the race. I've been flat on my back sick. That's the only reason I would leave you hanging, really.

And now, that it's too late, I would have told you that I was going with Matt Kenseth for the win at Homestead. Really. Okay, not really, I'm kidding but what does it matter now?

I sat down to watch the race and I just couldn't make it through the entire race. Ten races is just too long for the Chase. I'm glad Jimmie Johnson won his second series championship. I am. I am also glad that he didn't win his fifth race in a row.

It seems suiting that Dale Earnhardt Jr. finished the race the way he did (36th). His luck has been bad all year, I don't know why this race would be any different. I think he'll have much better fortune next season under the Hendrick umbrella. I look forward to it.

Now that the season is over, I expect that I will not be updating quite as often as I had. I will be back from time to time with news that I get on driver changes, number changes and just stuff that I find interesting going into the 2008 season. And now the countdown begins, 89 short days to go until the Daytona 500.

All for now...Jen
