It's been a while since I've thrown out an entry with a little bit of this and a little bit of that ... basically whatever is running through my mind. Some things may not pertain to racing at all.

I'll start it off with some racing stuff:

-- Rumor has it that Richard Childress Racing might be bringing Casey Mears on board to drive the #07 Jack Daniels car. I'm hoping that this will be another case of Rick Hendrick's loss is someone else's gain.

-- Which brings me to my next thought about Clint Bowyer. So he may be going to the #33 with General Mills as a sponsor. Honestly, it doesn't matter what his sponsor is or what number he drives. I'm still going to be a fan.

-- The sun is finally shining. I really couldn't stand the weather anymore.

-- In addition to being absolutely horrible at picking a winner for races this year, (0-for-22), I also didn't get my prediction right on where Martin Truex Jr. was going next year. He's staying on with DEI, at least through next year.

-- Are there really any Kyle Busch fans out there? Is there such a thing as Busch nation? I don't think so.

-- Have you been following the Olympics? I am staying up way to late watching... How about Michael Phelps?! Wow. He's amazing. Our sports writer, Mike Lowe is blogging from there in, Postcard from Beijing. Go check it out.

-- So rumor has it that Joey Logano will be making his Cup debut at Richmond International Speedway on Sept. 6. Do you think it's too soon for him? I say, what the heck. There's at least one person I know he will beat ... Michael Waltrip. It's really time for Waltrip to hang it up.

-- I can't help but think of myself each and every time I see this commercial. It makes me laugh. Hilarious stuff.

All for now.
