Kurt Busch beat Jeff Gordon to the flag to win the Kobalt Tools 500 at Atlanta Motor Speedway today, it was an OK race, not great, just OK.
The biggest surprise was the size of the crowd that showed up at AMS, around 94,400 proved that the economy is not all bad, at least for true race fans. I drove the Explorer Coach around the track during the parade lap before the race got underway and could not believe the number of pictures that were being taken of the Bears.
Took another picture with Randy Owen during the driver introductions, had not talked to him since the fall race of 1992 when Alabama sang the national anthem. Great guy, very friendly and humble.

Spent a few minutes talking UGA football and Alaska with Georgia Governor Sonny Perdue up in the suite too, he wants to come to Alaska when his term is up and spend a little time.
Had to call Coy Bowles with the Zac Brown Band to tell him about Chicken Fried being played on the PA system just before the pre-race activities got underway and how the crowd reacted. Was great to hear that they had won the CMA New Vocal Group or Duo Award last week.
Got a day off tomorrow, then head to Nashville on Tuesday.
