Luke Bryan has it all wrong. Last year, one of country music's rising stars debuted a tune about the benefits and great things about "rain." It was ironic (or maybe not so much) that this song came blaring through the stereo as Kellen Burns and I took the the hills of Missouri. The plan was to get to the great country scenery on Sunday but Mother Nature had other plans. With rain being the culprit, tonight's event at Paducah International Raceway will have to be made up at a later date. We got the call around 9:30 this morning as we stumbled out of our room and down the hall to the full service continental breakfast. As I typed out the release explaining what was going with the races, I scarfed down some scrambled eggs and traded jokes with Kellen and our tech guy, known as Steve-o.
With the releases sent out and the bags packed. Kellen and I took off for Missouri. It was a great drive over with the cool breeze of fresh rain at our backs. We stopped at a Hardee's for lunch and I sampled the new Turkey Burger that's been all over the TV ads. It was pretty good. We made it to Kellen's parents house and are catching up on some work and praying that the rain stays away so we can race tomorrow night at I-55 Raceway in Pevely, Mo.
I'll update this a little bit more as this Midwest Road Trip continues and hopefully we'll be able to talk about some great racing from I-55.
