If it had been anyone except Bobby Labonte, I assure you this would be a rant of magnificent proportions. But, I have to admit it, Bobby's a nice guy and a good racer...and today was just racin'.  During the red I went down to take a couple of pictures of Tony in his car and give him the thumbs up...I will not do that tomorrow if the chance appears...maybe I'm jinxing the guy!

Qualifying was interesting considering there was a tie...of course Jeff "Fruit Loop" Gordon winning the tie....because...hmm...he's Jeff Gordon (gag).

The Busch race was exciting from beginning to end...I'm hoping my heart can take all the excitement tomorrow's race will bring! There are a lot of contenders that are more than worthy and so the excitement should be palpaple. Actually, it already is. From the Lousianian we met last night at the Stampede restaurant who rescued my mama's cellphone and lipstick to the tailgaters we have enjoyed so much on the first floor of the hotel, as the time gets closer and closer to the Cup race, the more animated people become. I always knew I loved racing, stockcars, NASCAR, and just the pure joy of driving fast down a country road. But it wasn't until today that I realized I was IN love with racing!!!!! And I am like a giggly girl with her first schoolgirl crush I am in no way ever going to be satisfied with just these two races!!!! I found my heart and it revs up to speeds of over 200 mph!!!

Hopefully I will be getting some sleep tonight, as I kept waking up last night, anticipation causing the smile on my face to grow ever wider.
