Now that racing has resumed, it's time to take a look at what's coming up. There's a race each of the next two weekends, and I would like to attend them both. I've heard good things about the event in Kentucky. And having won the race over in Arkansas last year, I've got the "traveling trophy" and I guess I'm obligated to take it back.
