It was raining when we got to the track, but it stopped in time for a dry green flag start @ 2pm.

Very intimidating sight upon entering Dover's Monster Mile


Where's Kyle ???

Start & finish line @ Dover for the AAA 400. On the stage is Trailer Choir performing their hit Rock'n the Beer Gut.

The starting positions see Kyle in 15th.

NOS drinks is one of Kyle's sponsors.

The # 18 garage was right in front of our seats.

Our view from Sec 218 Row 9 (Turn 1)

Ashleys favorite driver Kyle Busch # 18 driving the Interstate Batteries sponsored Toyota Camry. Unfortunately he had some engine trouble and finsihed 58 laps down.



Look right behind the Sunoco sign, there's Kyle. Just in front of him are his teammates. Denny Hamlin & Joey Logano all 3 drivers were running in the top 15 until Joey's wreck in Turn 3 on Lap 31 where he rolled 7 times.

JGR alot of bad luck in Dover

Kyle Busch had some issues, too. Blown top end, was replaced and Kyle finished 58 laps behind the # 48.

Ashley's favorite Birthday Present - Dover tickets

On Sunday Sept 27. Jason and Ashley are going down to Dover to see their first Live Nascar race. Jason got seats in the pit out & Sprint Cup garage area. They are also going to take a Trackside tour through pit road and the garage area. It is all she has been talking about, we have never seen her so excited for anything like this. This will be Jason and Ashley's 1st trip with out me, finally I get peace for 2 days.

The KYLE BUSCH SHRINE in Ashley's Room

If you mention the number 18, Ashley will tell you "that's Kyle Busch's number" It just so happens their are 18 kids in her Kindergarten class. So there is no chance she will forget it. It doesn't matter if he is driving in the CWTS, Nationwide or Sprint Cup. If Kyle doesn't win she gets pissed and stamps her feet. We are not sure what it is about him that she likes, we thought it was because he drove an M&M's car. But she knows all the cars not just the M&M's 18. Unfortunately Kyle didn't make the Chase for the Sprint Cup this year. However he is leading Carl Edwards by 220 pts in the Nationwide Series Championship.

The ductwork is finally going in upstairs

Looks I will finally have my dining room for a holiday, something I have waited 10 yrs for. Once the ductwork is done on Monday all Jason has to do is sand, prime and paint.
