It’s Monday. The regular Nascar season finished up in Indianapolis on Sunday afternoon with the Brickyard 400. It was an entertaining race that offered many drivers one last chance to make the playoffs. One of the most notable drivers to not make it was Jimmy Johnson. Normally I’d be happy about Jimmy’s misfortune, but, well, yes, I guess I am! (I know, I’m a horrible person.) Anyway, in the end it was Stewart-Haas driver Kevin Harvick who took the checkers and kissed the bricks for the second time in his career. The Stewart-Haas team also climbed the fence at Indy, something Stewart did when he won at the Brickyard as a driver. The Nascar playoffs kick off next week in Las Vegas… bring it on!
My weekend wasn’t bad. On Saturday it cleared up and eventually got into the mid-seventies, so I rolled the Vette out to give it a much needed bath. I cranked up my tunes and spent the afternoon cleaning it up out under the sun. On Sunday it wasn’t quite so nice. We had rain and chilly temperatures that were only in the low sixties. It was a good day to stay indoors, watch the race, and make soup for dinner. Summer is over and fall is definitely on the horizon.
A Chill in the Air
