"The Show & Breakfast"
Kyle Busch has many nicknames (some of which we won't print). Some commentators hung "The Show" upon young Mr. Busch, who whupped the field in both the Camping World Truck Series and Nationwide Series races at Auto Club Speedway. The sparse few who made the trek to the Speedway saw part of history being made. Busch the younger is attempting to become the first driver to score victories in each of NASCAR's major divisions in a racing weekend. He has to beat Jimmie Johnson who will be starting out front, the beneficiary of polesitter Brian Vickers' team opting to change out the engine--and thus, starting from the rear of the field when the green flag falls. Johnson, if you remember, is the three time and defending Sprint Cup champion, and qualified 2nd.
Breakfast on race mornings does not have to mean a hockey puck sausage from a drive through window. We found a place where value and good food in large portions mean a waiting line--The Tole House Cafe, 8733 Etiwanda, Rancho Cucamonga, CA...right down the road from Auto Club Speedway. Their menu is on line here. If you go away from breakfast at the Tole House hungry, it is your fault.
We'll certainly post up a winner's snapshot once the festivities end. Like last week, we'll keep one eye on track, and one on the weather radar (Weather Underground or Weather Channel). Of course, we'll chime in with developments if warranted.
