This is a joyous time of year in my house. It’s joyous because the NASCAR Sprint Cup season is ready to start. But no one in my house is happier than my wife. With the off-season ending, she will no longer have to suffer through those many nights of watching “World’s Wildest Police Videos” or multiple viewings of the chase scene from the movie “The French Connection” just so I can get my fix of seeing cars going fast.
My children will be happy, too. Now I’ll be too busy watching the race on Sundays to bug them about getting their homework done for Monday.
But there is one person who may not be happy about all of this. My mother. She decided to come to Las Vegas for a visit this weekend, which is the weekend of the Daytona 500. Doesn’t she understand that this is the one weekend a year where my concentration can’t afford the distraction of family bonding?
I can guarantee you one thing: by the time this weekend is over, my mother will be a NASCAR fan.
Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.....
How did Mom like the race????
Loved your cartoon for the week...absolutely perfect as usual. The race was great...at least the last 30 laps! But, that's Daytona. RS races are not my most favorites! Great result altho I was hoping to see Smoke get a hair cut in Victory Lane!
Mom did the best she could to stay interested. But she did pay close attention to the last 30 laps. I'll turn her into a die hard fan yet. Glad you liked this week's cartoon.
So much for all the hype about Dale Jr. and the Toyotas from the Gibbs camp.
'So much for all the hype'? You think the results of one race where Gibbs Toyota's were 3rd and 4th and Jr. was 9th was 'hype'? You are either a total Dodge fan or an idiot, sweeper. Wanna bet on something? Like the rest of the year! Be brave!!
Glad mom stayed with it Mike, you never know!!
I think I had too much to drink yesterday. For some reason, I thought I saw Ryan Newman in victory lane.
All kidding aside, what a great race. A toast to the COT.
After the way the race turned out in the last few laps, I did drink too much yesterday! The car was stout though, how many time did someone get sideways and save it? I'll drink to that too.
