The nine-time NASCAR national touring series race winner from Fenton, Missouri, did not receive approval from NASCAR to contend for a starting spot for this year's 67th running of the Great American Race nearly two weeks after initially announcing his plans to compete in the event with MBM Motorsports.
It is not always just about NASCAR, as most of us got a chance to check out other things since the boys and girl last ran at Michigan. There was a basketball game in Cleveland I understand of some note. The NHL has an amateur draft this week and it seems you will have yet another reason to go to Las Vegas in the winter soon enough.
Deep at the heart of it, family is the lifeblood of NASCAR. The family tree is populated with generations of drivers named Petty and Baker, Jarrett and Earnhardt, Waltrip and Labonte, Allison and Wallace and too many more to name.
Although Chrissy Wallace may be from a famous racing family, including Uncle Rusty, Uncle Kenny, cousin Steven and dad Mike, she is definitely coming into her own, especially with two championships now under her belt.
