A Salute to a Kansan
Clint Bowyer, from Emporia KS, has just won his first NASCAR Nextel Cup race, dominating the Sylvania 300 at New Hampshire International Speedway.
He lead the most laps, won the pole, and was totally uncatchable on the afternoon. He’s in the Chase for the Nextel Cup, the only winless one in the fraternity. Until today. The detractors can now back off.
I’m tickled for the guy; a Kansas guy, racing in the big leagues for Richard Childress Racing, in the Chase, and winning. And with DirecTV and Jack Daniels as sponsors.
It doesn’t get any better than that.

NASCAR HotPass Lineup
The Channel/Driver/Car grid for tonight’s running of the Sharp AQUOS 5001 shakes out like this:
795 – Tony Stewart, #20
796 – Clint Bowyer, #07
797 – Jeff Gordon, #24
798 – Juan Pablo Montoya, #42
799 – Dale Earnhardt JR, #8
I must head off to my fantasy racing site, hopefully to improve my team. Kurt Busch is peaking at the right time, and he’s on the pole; if the price is right, he’ll be on my team this week.
In the meantime, the race doesn’t start until 8PM EDT, the better for NASCAR to vie for prime-time ratings points. The business of NASCAR is business, after all. And there’s NHRA qualifying for the Mac Tools U.S. Nationals right now, on ESPN2. With six big hours of finals to be telecast tomorrow.
Good stuff.

A Minnie Pearl Moment, Racing Hat Edition
Yesterday, I took SWMBO to breakfast at the closest Cracker Barrel. Having recently acquired some new Nextel Cup finery, in the form of a Jack Daniels Old No.7 racing hat (driven by Clint Bowyer, from Emporia KS), I decided this was the perfect time to break this thing in. I dutifully removed the tag that was held in place by one of those little plastic strings; I removed the cardboard liner that makes the crown stand up, formed up the brim so I wouldn’t look like a complete dork, and we headed out.
After our Uncle Herschel’s favorite breakfast, we returned home, and I dozed off in my chair for a bit. Then it was time to run a few errands. I grabbed my hat, only to discover that there was still a sticker affixed smack dab in the middle of its bill certifying that this was a bona-fide “Chase Authentics Pit Cap”. I asked SWMBO if she’d noticed that when we went to breakfast. Yep, she did; she thought it was part of the hat.
How-Dee!
