It looks like we’ll get a little rain out here at Kansas Speedway. But it’s going to clear up by tomorrow. I think it’s going to be a busy weekend here as we get ready for IRL and 100% ethanol fuel action on Sunday. This is what’s going on today. Tweaking the cars. The drivers get 2 practice sessions tomorrow …

Team Ethanol car driver Jeff Simmons was on hand to …

Ethanol Car Leaving The Pits
At the moment it’s cool inside the overflow media tent which where I got assigned to. My little spot is right in front on the end of the table. It was the last place open when I got here yesterday.

It has been a hot sunny afternoon in south Florida.
