Happy Mother's Day to all you moms out there!

First my thoughts on the Nationwide race:

-- Congrats to Tony Stewart on his win.

-- What on earth happened with Mark Martin? I think someone made a really bad mistake to allow Martin to run out of gas with only like 3 laps to go. That little mishap caused a lot of wrecks.

-- There can't possibly be a bigger cry baby than Kyle Busch, period. Did you catch his interview after the race?

Sprint Cup:

-- Uugh, Kyle Busch won. Congrats to Racefan for picking the winner.

-- I am now 0-for-11. I think I will need to rename my entries where I throw my picks out there, "Who not to pick."

-- At the beginning of the night I wanted to try to keep track of all the drivers that scraped the wall. About the time they said 7 people had hit the wall and I could only account for four of them, I gave up. There sure were a lot of cautions. By the end of the race, I don't believe there was one driver who didn't kiss the wall.

-- What was the deal with Direct TV's issue with Fox last night. There was a message on the television screen that said something along the lines of... Please don't call us, we are having technical difficulties and are working on it.

YEAH RIGHT! Seriously, we called. And when they asked what the message said, Becky (our spokeswoman) said it says not to call but I did anyway. She asked them when we could expect it to be fixed. They said "within the hour."

Everyone ran to the kitchen and turned on MRN to listen to it. We missed seeing the Tony Stewart crash with Elliott Sadler but the channel was fixed immediately after that crash.

-- Clint Bowyer had a terrible night but still pulled off a 15th place finish.

-- What terrible luck for Greg Biffle who's car blew up. He really had the car to beat for a while there. I would have liked seeing him in victory lane again.

I'm never eating M&M's again. Period. End of story.
