While the NASCAR Nextel Cup Series is at Chicago this week, the Craftsman Truck Series isn’t far away. My team will be joining the rest of the series at the 1.5-mile Kentucky Speedway.

I’ve been going to Daytona – site of Saturday night’s 400-mile NASCAR Nextel Cup Series race - as long as I can remember – actually, longer than I can remember. It really has been that long….so it seems.

This McMillin Homes/Cure Autism Now Toyota team is excited about getting to Milwaukee Fairgrounds Raceway this week and getting ready for the Toyota Tundra 200. We were pretty good at the Milwaukee Mile last year and are looking forward to improving on that, as we’ve done most everywhere else we’ve run this season.

Off to Michigan Speedway this week, the two-mile, generally smooth oval in the Irish Hills of Michigan, just west of Detroit. Michigan’s fast. Now, what this means is you better have your act together when the green flag drops.
