Watching the race in Bristol... IN Bristol!

Tony Stewart dominated early but Kyle Busch finished first. In the final laps, Kyle and Jeff Burton were battling in a clean conclusion to the race but Jeff came up just a little short. This week, my team battled my friend Joel's team. I was concerned because Tony is on Joel's team and it looked like Tony was going to run unchallenged. Mechanical problems related to his fuel system pushed him to the back and my guys got the win.

At the finish, Jimmie Johnson finished sixteeth, Jeff Burton took second, and Kyle Busch won. Juan Pablo Montoya, on my bench, finished thirty-second.

That's a great photograph. The infield scene is an interesting one to dissect, and red shirts seem to dominate the crowd. Is that a Dale Jr. thing, or were the bleachers red?

Thanks! Yes, there was a lot going on in the infield. Red IS the color of Dale Jr and it was all from the people present; the stands were shiny aluminum. The red was sometimes due to red shirts but others, like mine, was due to sunburn from watching the Busch race!
