Irwin Tools Night Race, Bristol

1. Joey Logano
2. Brad Keselowski
3. Matt Kenseth

Unfortunately, I only had time to see just the beginning of the race last night, but it sounds like I missed an interesting one . . .

Matt Kenseth and his wife have collaborated with authorGina Gold to release a book called "Racing Against Bullying". It's a story about an elementary student who being bullied and the importance of seeking help.

A number of drivers have varied interests, once they can take a break from the track. A lot of them have pets, too. They have a Nascar Pets Calendar, and the proceeds go to help homeless animals. (Greg Biffle is behind that charitable pet foundation.) Jeff Gordon has a children's foundation to help children battling cancer. And those are just a few of the drivers involved in helping others. It's encouraging to see people try to give back to those less fortunate.

I know I have a cookbook that was put together by the wives for Special Olympics. It's from Jeff Gordon's rookie year. What a babyface!

[MinnieM123]

I just took a peek at the leaderboard for Atlanta (3 p.m. eastern, today):

1. Carl Edwards 192.855 mph (best speed)
2. Ryan Newman 191.628
3. Marcos Ambrose 191.417

Tony's back at Atlanta

I watched his news conference today. You can definitely tell it all still weighs heavily on his mind.

When I posted the 3 p.m. leaderboard stats for Atlanta, Smoke was in 17th or 18th position at that time.

I think he qualified twelfth.

Thank you for the update (since the 3 pm stats I saw yesterday). Smoke is, indeed, now in the 12th spot for Atlanta. Note: Kevin, Brad, and Kyle are now 1, 2 and 3.

A cat crossing the track during the race. How odd is that!

Oral-B USA 500, Atlanta

1. Kasey Kahne
2. Matt Kenseth
3. Denny Hamlin

I wonder if that was a black cat that crossed in front of Kevin Harvick.

It was nice to see Tony Stewart get a standing ovation during player intros.

The way the night finished for Harvick you would think it was a black cat, but it was actually a squirrel!
