Off week
Dustin's not going to Kansas this weekend. He has worked what seems like the last 20 weekends in a row, and he needs a weekend off before the last seven weeks of the Chase.
Can't say I blame him - it's Kansas, after all. And it's kind of like Chicagoland (new mile-and-a-half, in the Midwest, strung out racing, but it's in the Chase and Chicagoland isn't. Would I feel any differently toward this not-another-1.5-mile-tri-oval be any better if it were called Kansasland? Eh, probably not.
I think I'll take a break, too. Without Junior in the Chase, I'm feeling pretty lost. And Carl Edwards' cheat-to-win move has me pretty cynical about this whole racin' business. (Don't try to tell me that having a right rear lower than everyone else's didn't help - Edwards was miles faster than everyone else, and those tenths add up quickly at a place like Dover.)
Anyway, I think I'll devote most of my Sunday to the Panthers-Bucs games. Never thought this one was going to be for NFC South supremacy, but it is now.
Here's a more serious question, especially for you North Carolinians in the house: Which are you more interested in this time of year, NASCAR or the Carolina Panthers?
