I've been out of the loop these last few days as I've been really busy enjoying some time with my family doing family-type things. My son finally soloed today on his two-wheeler! He went to bed with a grin a mile wide on his face, and I just checked in on him a few minutes ago and I swear he is still smiling.

Anyway, as I continue to spend some time with my family please bear with me over the next few days or so as I pop in and out of here with brief tidbits of racing carnage from my mind to offer you. Like this:

I'm going to be honest with you, don't you think this whole Danica Patrick vs Milka Duno thing is a little overblown?

If this were two guys instead of two females this would have over and done with.

Even the Sportsdesk guy from TSN showed his "maleness" with his comment about the verbal banter between these two highly competitive females. I won't go into what he said, that isn't important, what is important is that they probably wouldn't have shown a clip of it, or even talked about it, if it were two guys - unless they were beating the crap out of each other in a fashion similar to Yarborough vs Allison (circa 1979) I guess.
