My flight leaves at 6:15 in the morning bound for Columbus, Ohio by way of Memphis, Tennessee.  What’s in Columbus, you might ask?  Well, Sarah & Alisandra live there.  Penni & I are going to be tagging along with them on their annual excursion a couple of hours north to Brooklyn, Michigan for the NASCAR races (Nationwide & Sprint Cup series) this weekend.

I’ll, of course, be taking my laptop with me.  (We should have internet access in the hotel room.)  Whether or not I use my laptop, I’ll have my cell phone and will be twittering along the way.  Feel free to follow along with me this weekend.  I’ll have lots of stories and photos to share when I return, I’m fairly certain.

Who’s gonna win this weekend?  Well, I’m rooting for one of the JR Motorsports teams - #5 driven by Mark Martin or #88 driven by Brad Keselowski - in the Nationwide series race on Saturday.  On Sunday, I’m rooting for the #88 driven by Dale Earnhardt Jr.  All of these teams have a great shot at a win.  (Junior actually won the June race in Michigan so I’m sure he can defend his win.)
