We will be getting back to points racing soon, and to the sure-to-be-exciting Indianapolis 500 coming up this weekend. In the meantime, there are the usual post off week news and opinions to catch up on.

Do You NASCAR? has delivered what he promised in the post just previous to this one, and more:
Son of Cup Team Owner Wins at Toledo

For those of you that have had yourselves so engrossed with the notion of Austin Dillon one day making it to the Cup Series level to run the Richard Childress Racing number 3 car that was formerly run by racing great, Dale Earnhardt, you may be unaware that yet another relative of a long-time car owner at the Cup Series level has embarked on his journey to future stardome through the ARCA/Re Maxx Series…read more

Of course Trixie’s Trailer Park has something to say about the NASCAR All Star weekend,  a cool site she found, as well as someone’s birthday.

Now, this has taken me the good part of six hours to hunt all this good stuff down, so it is time for revinjim to take a break.

In the meantime, Happy Humpday, y’all!
