Even though the Sprint Cup Series had the weekend off, it was another great weekend of NASCAR racing with Kyle Busch winning the Camping World Truck Series event at Chicagoland and Carl Edwards beating Marcos Ambrose in Montreal. It was a quiet weekend around Talladega Superspeedway this weekend, just a few Harley-Davidson motorcycles circling the track and some on-going construction projects folks will notice when they return for the AMP Energy 500 weekend and our first-ever HALLOW-DEGA celebration. It was a sad weekend in our community as a local high school football coach who volunteered with us at race time died of a heart attack after leaving his team to get checked out at halftime of their season opener. Coach Keith Howard will certainly be missed race weekend.
It will be another busy week around the track for the staff as we put some final touches on what’s going to be a weekend of activities like Talladega Superspeedway fans have never seen before. Don’t forget about my on-line chat Tuesday night. The bi-weekly chats have been very enjoyable and have given me an opportunity to get to know our fans even better.
I hope to talk to you Tuesday night.
