Back at School

Well we started back to school today and it felt good to be back. But it's been busy today. I'm trying to get Progress Reports ready to mail out. We are only a week late on them and that will only give the kids less than two weeks to bring their grades up. I have quite a few to mail out.
Kayla has already been on the computer trying to see what the Atlantic is doing and there appears to be another tropical depression trying to do something. Let's hope it doesn't come here. Kayla said it will probably be a bad one and will probably come to Texas because it's supposed to be named Kyle. And she's thinking of Bad Boy, Kyle Busch of NASCAR. Speaking of the Brat, Kyle--it was nice to see that he's had trouble in both of the Sprint Chase races. I just wasn't happy to see Greg win both races. But at least Carl is still in First place. If Bob wouldn't have made that mistake and had Carl just take two tires instead of four--Carl might have won the race. But at least he gave them a run for their money. It was neat to see 3 Roush drivers in positions 1,2,and 3.
Not much else to report right now. If something else comes up--I will drop back in.

Carl Edwards Sweeps Michigan

Wow what a GREAT race weekend. First of all it was Carl's 29th birthday and then he won the Nationwide race and then Sunday race day came. He started 28th and before you could turn around he was leading the race. All of a sudden it looked like Kyle was going to beat Carl and win again. But then they had to pit and Carl's crew did a wonderful job and got Carl out super fast. Carl went on to WIN the Sprint race so he had a great birthday and anniversary weekend. But Jack Roush didn't do too bad with his teams either. All five teams came in the top 10. Carl was in first, David Ragan was in 3rd, Greg Biffle in 4th, Matt Kenseth in 5th and last but not least was Jamie McMurray was in 10th. Way to go Carl and the rest of Roush Racing. I would love for Carl to win the next three races and that way he will only be behind Kyle by 10 points when the CHASE starts. Right now we are 40 points behind Kyle when the Chase starts. It would be so neat if Carl could win BOTH Championships this year.

NASCAR Race update

Well the race didn't go as I had wanted because Carl didn't win--but he did place in the top 10. He was 9th in the race but it moved him to 2nd in the Chase. But because Kyle Busch won the race--NO ONE can tie him in the Chase. He has won so many races. And just with 9 laps left in the race--there had to be a BIG BAD Crash. We were so worried about Bobby Labonte, he was taken to a hospital in town but last report he was released from the hospital to go back to racing. I just hope Carl can win a couple more races before the Chase starts.
And then on Saturday, Marc0s Ambrose, from Austraila won his first NASCAR race. It was his 59th start and he was driving car #59. Way to go Marcos!!! If Carl wasn't able to win--I'm glad it was him.
