Friday was the longest day of my vacation.  We were at the track for 12 hours or so.  Friday included two Nationwide series practices, a Sprint Cup practice, qualifying for both the Nationwide & Sprint Cup series, and finally the Craftsman Truck series race.  Plus, SPEED TV was filming Trackside Live and we watched that for a while.

I guess you can say Shelby & I are Hendrick Motorsports fans.  Shelby is a Jimmie Johnson fan, and I am a Dale Earnhardt Jr fan.  Because of that, Hendrick Motorsports was our first stop in NASCARolina.

Congratulations to Dale Earnhardt Jr, Tony Eury Jr, and the Hendrick Motorsports #88 team on their first points win as a team of the season and Junior’s first points win in 77 races Sunday afternoon at Michigan!
