I'm wearing my Jimmie Johnson No. 48 Lowes hat today in recognition of his third-in-a-row NASCAR Cup (Sprint) championship. When I wear that hat at Martinsville Speedway where most of the 65,000 plus rabid fans have on Earnhardt, Jr. gear, I feel a bit out of place. But, there's a lot of Lowes gear around as well, so I do have company. Anyway, time to take a few months break from racin before getting back to the chase in 2009.
