I think all the drama between Kyle Busch and Dale Earnhardt Jr. took away some of the spotlight that my man Clint Bowyer deserves for his second Sprint Cup win. He was in the right place at the right time. So, I guess, I may owe Kyle Busch a big THANK YOU because if he hadn't gotten tangled up with Junior, Bowyer may not have won...

Just look at him folks, doesn't he look awesome in victory lane?! Seriously.

I was all smiles on Sunday knowing he took the checkered flag. Hell, what am I saying, I had sweet dreams of Bowyer dancing in my head when I went to bed Saturday night. Just awesome!

Saturday night I went go karting. Yes, I stepped away from the night racing on television and got out there and got in a go kart. A few of us (eight to be exact) went out to Victory Lane Indoor Karting in Portland. It's a big warehouse with a track in the middle of it. It was a bit cold in there so if you go, bring a sweatshirt.

I drove kart #32. If they had had a #07, I would have driven that one. My cart felt real fast. I was sliding sideways around the corners like I was on ice - it was super fun. It was like driving on ice through the corners; you could get the kart sideways without spinning it. A great place to take the kids. As a matter of fact, they had a league of kids racing and the youngest one was 8 years old.

Okay, okay...I'm glad you all had fun with the M&M comments yesterday. Anyone who is waiting for me to buy them M&M's, don't hold your breath. I'd be more inclined to ship you some delicious Juicy Fruit or a bottle of Jack Daniels. I think, however, there may be a policy here at the Portland Press Herald on sending and receiving alcohol.

All for now...
