Good morning,
Is it just me or has anyone else got to the point where they've thrown out leftovers because you just can't eat anymore? I'm shooting to start eating again on Tuesday. I hope all of you had a great Christmas weekend.
Lets get to it.
-- ARCA is quite popular in Lebanon,PA
-- Ladies, want to smell like success? Then try Danica's new scent "Danica Patrick For Her". Does that mean there will be a "for him" scent? Maybe. I can see it now available in truck stops bathrooms all across America.
-- In case you haven't heard. Michael Schumacher is coming back to F1 in a Mercedes. The Face of Ferrari, Schumacher has left brand loyalists upset. Schumacher said Ferrari will "always stay in my heart". Imagine Dale Earnhardt Sr. driving a Toyota. Yeah, now you understand.
-- Duno or Danica. You Decide.
-- Team Seattle snags 2009 GT Class Champion Leh Keen.
-- Sad news out of RCR today. Crew Member DJ Richardson has passed away due to complications from the H1N1 virus. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the family.
Have a great day and we'll spin the tires again tomorrow.

Merry Christmas from SpeedwayInsider.com!
Merry Christmas! I hope you are enjoying a good mid-day Christmas nap about now. My biscuit and gravy induced nap will commence as soon as I upload this post. In the meantime, we are a mere few weeks away from the Roar Before the Rolex 24 at Daytona. Let's catchup with some of Grand-Am's finest and see how they will be spending this Christmas.

Working towards a comeback
Hey everyone,
I've decided to give it a go and try to get this site up and going again. I'm not going to give away too much, but I'm going to be getting stuck in with the racing coverage once more and possible might be podcasting soon. Don't know yet, but check me out on Twitter @speedwayinsider for the most up to date news.
Cheers,
Derrick
