Brad's first win!!!
KESELOWSKI WINS AT NASHVILLE
#88-Brad Keselowski won the Federated Auto Parts 300 at Nashville Superspeedway for his first career win in 49 Nationwide Series races (and the first win for the U.S. Navy as a sponsor). He passed #2-Clint Bowyer with 5 laps to go and pulled away to win by nearly 2 seconds. #64-David Stremme finished second, followed by #99-David Reutimann, #2-Clint Bowyer, #6-David Ragan, #7-Mike Walllace, #29-Scott Wimmer, #47-Kelly Bires, #5-Landon Cassill, and #16-Greg Biffle. After starting from the pole and leading the first 60 laps of the race, #20-Joey Logano was caught in a wreck on lap 89 and finished 31st. #32-Kyle Busch, running all 3 races this weekend, finished 3 laps down in 20th after a cut tire late in the race. There were 10 cautions for 41 laps and 8 leaders with 10 lead changes.
(I had to work that night, but got home just in time to see Brad take the checkered flag. When I realized it was Brad leading at the end and as he crossed the finish line, and seeing the excitement shown by his Mom, I had tears in my eyes.)

Guess who likes Barry Manilow?
I never knew this until I read it the other day,
guess who is a Barry Manilow fan?
I happen to think it's pretty cool, I happen to be a Barry fan myself.
Dale Earnhardt Jr. is a Barry Manilow fan.
"Sure, I have a few of his tunes on my iPod," Earnhardt said. "I really like 'Weekend in New England.' I mean, the guy's a legend. Doesn't everybody listen to a few of Barry's songs every now and then."

10. You got anything that people might consider atypical on your portable music player?
Earnhardt: Surprises? Well, I've always tried to come across as down to earth with everything I've done -- but sometimes things surprise you, like you got a Barry Manilow song on your iPod, or something.
Well, I do. Weekend in New England is one of my favorites. He's awesome. I think a lot of people listen to him that wouldn't admit it.
You can blame my sister for that. When our mom lived up in Virginia we'd take some long rides up there and [Kelley] got me hooked.

Dale Earnhardt Tribute
Not one day since 01 has gone by without my hero entering my head in some way.
What was taken for granted before is sorely missed today.
He was unique in all our lives and I thank God we all live in an age where a person's greatness can be relived simply by pushing a button.
He shows us how to overcome with no doubt of the results.
WE MISS YOU DALE!
God must have needed a driver.
No person better qualified.
No person better deserving of such an honor in death.
RIP #3, YOUR OUR #1!
RIDE ON #88
