I love those dirt cars Jeremy Mayfield has, as profiled on Nascar Nation a while back. I want to get me a half dozen of them for my daughters and me!

That reminds me; I miss Hales Corners Speedway (since replaced with a Menard's; the only reminders left are the names of the extended development and the street that runs along that development).

I got to take my 4 daughters out to see a great night of dirt track racing a couple weekends ago. We live about 2 1/2 hours away, so we don't get out there much and are stuck with the closer asphalt tracks.

After the races, they let everyone in the pits. We went over to their favorite drivers trailer, and as they were getting autographs, my youngest (by 4 minutes) asked "Can I have a hug?" It was an awesome moment, and of course, she got her hug.
