I know I’ve kind of disappeared, and for that I apologize. But it has been a grind the past few days. I just sent in a notebook for tomorrow (Hint: Carl Edwards doesn’t buy his own clothing) and am now about to hit the road back to Richmond.

I PROMISE I will blog about my sit-down with Tony Stewart and the craziness of the media tour stop at Hendrick Motorsports when I get back to town. It may not be until tomorrow night, but I promise I will do it.

P.S. I’ve asked some drivers for their most memorable Daytona 500s too, so keep the votes coming. Maybe your comments will appear next to Tony’s or Matt Kenseth’s! E-mail me at with your top three most memorable 500s, and please don’t hesitate to leave comments on each.

Till next time ...
