Clint Bowyer celebrates second career NASCAR Sprint Cup Series victory on Sunday at the New Hampshire Motor Speedway in Loudon, N.H., the first race in the Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup. (Credit: Jason Smith/Getty Images for NASCAR)Absolutely loved the first race in The Chase for the Sprint Cup Series Championship! Clint Bowyer won it! Yaaay!

You know what this means? It means that The Chase will not be a predictable bore-fest. It’s going to be fun and intriguing and it’s not going to suck. Of course now that I’ve said that Jimmie Johnson will proceed to win the next 9 races.

Hehe. 🙂

I slept through the pre-race show ’cause I thought it all started at 10am PST, but that’s when the race started. That meant that I missed the pit road debut of little Genevieve Marie Johnson who is cute as a button (see below)!
