Jimmie Johnson112007.jpg


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

I'll be around, too. Have stockpiled a bunch of Nascar dvd's to watch when I need a fix. Am also working on getting to the Bud Shoot Out in February.

I am excited for Junior and also Kyle Busch and looking forward to next season to see what happens.

Dale movie available in the stores this Friday. There are some great home movie clips of Jr and his dad in it.

Nascar banquet is on Friday night. Let's hope Kurt Busch remembers his wife's name this time.

I agree with you, hawaiiangirl. I would love to see Jr get a championship. I think going to Hendricks was a good choice for him.

Thanks for the fun. It should be interesting next year, watching JR and his new car and new owner. Also, watching Gordon and Johnson compete. Sure hope all of you Stewies get better results from your guy. See you next year.

Is it too early to talk Daytona? I've got Kasey Kahne winning in the Bud 9 car- just to add injury to insult.
We Stewies and Smokers will never go away, even if Toyota is the car and believe it or not, Toyota will end up in victory lane-it's just a question of when.

About this blog:
I am hopeful that this will be a place where people can air their two cents' worth about a race, catch up on the gossip and share their opinions on the rules and regulations of NASCAR. I have always felt that there has been a need for such a place in Maine and that this blog helps to fill the void.
