Atlanta Bound!

Thanks to a little help from our friends (Mr. Kenseth and Mother Nature), we've ordered our SPRING ATLANTA CUP TICKETS! (Nationwide and Trucks too, but that's because we're spoiled, not because of our friends.) I guess I'll have to edit my world tour post, because it keeps growing!

Thanks to the fine folks at Atlanta Motorspeedway, the tour kicks off a couple weeks early, since they (ingeniously) devised the plan to sell 1,000 tickets for the value of the '500 winning car number. ( I bet Martin Truex has never been quite so popular!)

The 500 had its share of very good, good, bad, ugly, and very ugly, but in the end, I'm sure glad Kenseth pulled it off, if no reason other than I get an extra trip to the track!

Now Matt, unless other tracks plan on offering a similar promotion, I'm okay with you being a one hit wonder this season. But thanks for this one. It looks good on you, and my pocketbook!
