Danica's Best Finish of the Year at Texas - 8th.

After starting 17th for the O'Reilly Auto Parts 300 at Texas Motor Speedway, Danica makes a late charge to finish 8th. During a caution late in the race, crew chief Tony, Jr. made a great call to get her fresh tires and on the restart, worked her way up from 13th to finish 8th. So far, it's her best finish of the 2012 season.

During the last 4 laps, Danica was looking great slicing, dicing and splitting in-between slower cars. I was quite proud to see her go three-wide into turn 1 in the middle and push the #7 GoDaddy Chevy Impala to its limits. It was also good to see how much better her restarts have become watching this race. Apparently, the two week break was a very good chance for Danica to regroup and get aggressive.

Besides being unindated with work as of late, it was difficult to write this entry. There were a few disappointments with the weekend, and I argued with myself if I should "whine" within this entry. I felt it would be detremental, so I won't get into those. Instead, I'm going to concentrate on the very cool things that happened that weekend.

First of all, I was quite entertained by Leslie and her sister, Kristin, from Biola University. I bought my beers from Leslie behind the pit area because proceeds would go to their softball team and we talked about all kind of cool sports stuff. It was a fun Friday and, of course, I got to meet Danica again. Austin Dillon had to point out I got a "hug and kiss" from Danica. I told him, she and I kind of go back.

Yes...Danica gave me "a hug and a kiss".

Saturday was quite the frustrating day. During the Nationwide race, Danica was having trouble finding speed. During a restart, it looked as if the #7 GoDaddy.com Chevy Impala was fast until the car failed. The official explaination was a hole in the radiator made the engine seize. Danica officially finished 35th. I have my own opinions about that, but I won't get into them. Let's just say I had to leave the track early because I was so pissed. Thank goodness for the "cold beverage girls", Leslie and Kristin.

Kristin and Leslie Larson, Biola University Softball. Go Eagles!

Sunday was fun...until it rained. I was all done with my frustration of the day before, and was looking forward to seeing Dale Jr. win. Of course, everybody was talking about the rain coming and they should have started the race just 1 hour earlier, but bills apparently had to be paid and we only watched half of the race. Atleast I was happy to see Tony Stewart win and Dale Jr. take 3rd. Still, thank the "cold beverage girls" for making that weekend special. I'm definitely looking forward to seeing them play versus Azusa Pacific next week.
