NASCAR Chase Race #5 - Charlotte

Good Morning All.

I apologize for not have my blog done last night. My youngest son got married yesterday one reason I would miss a race.

Congratulations Joseph and Amanda - Love you!!!

I missed all but the last 25 laps of the race. I will not comment on the race as I don't know really know what happened. I know it came down to fuel mileage again. Michael Waltrip Racing had all 3 of his cars in the top 10.
Get well soon Dale Earnhardt Jr., first time an Earnhardt has not been on the track since September 3, 1979, 33 years.



Congratulations Clint Bowyer!!!
and Michael Waltrip Racing!!!
