I didn’t watch much racing this weekend.  I was in the middle of preparing for a birthday for a now 5 year-old.  If you are a regular reader to The Park, you know Postman and myself are in the process of adopting a little boy (Little Smoke).  His birthday was on Saturday so I was quite busy running around trying to get things all in place for him and his guests.  

I did get a chance to watch a little of the Nationwide race on Friday night.  Congratulations to Kyle Busch for his victory.  

I did Tivo the prerace and part of the race since I wouldn’t be back home until after the race started.  However, I was so tired from the party, I really didn’t have the strength to get into the race.  I was semi-conscious enough to see Kyle make a last lap pass on Jimmie Johnson to take his 7th win of the season.   Congrats to Tony on a top 5 finish which moves him two spots in the standings. 

That’s about it for me.  I know there isn’t much about the race, but sometimes even I need a break from the grind.

One more thing…here is a picture of Little Smoke’s birthday cake.  He loves Wall-E so I proceeded to take the time to make him a Wall-E cake.  I have to say it was worth the hours I spent on Friday to see his reaction. (Please note, that is not a smudge on the actual cake.  I cannot release his name due to legal reasons at this point.)
