I’m glad to get my first win under my belt (even if it was a Kyle Busch Truck Series gimme), but now we go to the third straight wild card of the season. After two “drafting” tracks, it’s road course time!
Speaking of winding roads, I just realized that I haven’t really been on a road trip in a few years. Last time I think was when I went to a baseball game four hours away a few years back. Of course the downside with baseball (as well as Nascar) is the risk of a rain delay, and that’s exactly what I got. The game wrapped up around 1am, and without a hotel room booked, I wound up driving home through the dead of night. Fun fact—if someone spills their beer on you, even if you’re stone-cold sober it’ll take a while to convince the cop who pulls you over that you’re good to drive.
