I came back from the kitchen from making myself iced coffee, and there's JPM and Ganassi talking to the press.

Holy cow. I remembered when Jacques couldn't find a ride and considered NASCAR.

Just stunned me.

I was reading one of those 10-question interviews with Boris on NASCAR dot com. Instead of racing 45 weekends a year, with many overseas, he now has an office for his NASCAR team 2 minutes from his home, spends more time with his son.

10. What have you learned about yourself in the last year?

Said: Since my son was born, I think I've really re-prioritized my life. Before, the only thing that was important to me was trying to race, trying to race, trying to race -- as many races as I could.

And now, everything I do is more for my family. I try to earn more money and try to be better at racing, hopefully to give my son opportunities that I never had.




Can't blame the guy for going for the money.



As for JPM and Danica, NASCAR has a big push toward "diversity", one time headed my Magic Johnson (no kidding). That is probably sweetening the deal for these two as well.
