Family and Food

I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving. Jami and I had a great time with our Grandparents that came in from Cottonwood, AZ. We ate a lot of food and had a great time. We got our house all decked out in Christmas decorations and even made a gingerbread replica of our house. Took a short trip to the Biltmore Estate in Asheville, NC and froze our butts off. We also hit up the drive thru Zoo in Mooresville which is always a good time. It is always great to have family around and it is always fun to show family the MWR Shop. It really gives them insight on how much goes into racing and how lucky I am to be a part of this great sport. We are off to Phoenix now for my cousin Jason's wedding and to see the rest of my family that we missed at Thanksgiving.

Tough Break

We had a really great run going at Homestead before we broke the transmission. We weren't the fastest out there but we stayed out of trouble and stayed on the lead lap. With some great strategy we were setup for a top 10 finish. All in all I had an awesome experience running in the Busch Series and it was great to cap off our awesome ARCA season with solid runs in the Busch car. I am really excited about my future with Michael Waltrip Racing and all the great things they have in store for me in 2008. Next up is some off season testing and the Holidays. Have a great Thanksgiving and thanks for all the support this season. I will try to update as often as possible.

Miami

Well, this is the last race of the season for McD. He felt like he did pretty good in practice yesterday at Homestead (was aired on Speed Channel). Qualifying is @12:30 eastern and will be aired on Speed followed by the race @4:30 eastern on ESPN2. We'll all be watching you Michael!! Good luck !!

First Top 15

I just wanted to thank everyone for all the support. It was great seeing my friends and family in Phoenix. Even though I did not have much time to visit it was really awesome the support I recieved. We also had a great run in the #00 Aarons, Best Western, Toyota Camry. We started the day off a little slow but we were strong in the end and finished up 14th. Hopefully we can take this momentum to Homestead and get a Top-5. Everyone at MWR has worked their butts off to pull off these last 4 races and I am extremely grateful for that. I also signed my deal last week for next season so I am all set for 2008. I will be racing the #00 in the Sprint Cup Series and I hope that we can make an official announcment with all the details soon. For right now we need to get approved by Nascar then we will be all set. With our last 2 runs I believe getting approved should be no problem.


Thanks
