In the Groove

Our second night of racing is in the books at Knoxville Raceway and boy was it a chilly one! Apparently there was some talk of canceling because of the cold temps but I'm sure glad we didn't as the racing was hot.

It's always a joy to have the Interstate Racing Association folks in the house. They bring a little spice to our weekly program.

Drivers who impressed me this week were Jon Agan, who came from the back of the B-Main to transfer to the 360 A, and Mark Dobmeier, who for the second week in a row demonstrated what an exciting driver he is in the 410 class.

My real gig of entering live results was a little bit of a chore this week as technology was not too cooperative through the first part of the night. But thankfully, our web guru, Kyle McCullough, came around to fix some of the issues and things went much more smoothly.

My "other" gig on John Hall's race team went pretty well too. Though John's results were not the best, it was his first night back racing since the July 4, 2009, wreck which sidelined him. This is the second time in three years we have had to come to the track with everything brand new and try to make sure it all works properly. It's a lot of hard work for John, crew chief Darrell Bonesteel and the rest of the guys and I'm really proud of them for their efforts last night.

Next weekend is my annual birthday bash at the race track. I turn another year older on May 17. While I'm not fond of getting older, celebrating my birthdays at the track has become an annual tradition I love. Thanks for reading and if you see me at the track next week, be sure to say hello!
