Homestead-Miami Speedway reinforcing existing security procedures: With thousands converging on South Florida for NASCAR's Ford Championship Weekend and Sunday's Dolphins-Cowboys game, fans can expect a beefed-up security presence in the wake of the terrorist attacks in Paris. The big event of this weekend in South Florida will be at Homestead-Miami Speedway, where three days of racing will culminate in Sunday's sold-out Ford EcoBoost 400 for the Sprint Cup Series championship. The track issued a statement Tuesday concerning security: "We are presently in close communication with the FBI and Homeland Security related to the recent tragic incidents in Paris and other locations worldwide. We have taken measures to reinforce our existing security procedures for Ford Championship Weekend. Should they provide us with additional recommendations, we will act accordingly." Precautions are warranted in light of attacks in Paris directed at a concert hall and the premier soccer stadium during an international match where an attacker wearing a suicide vest attempted to gain entry and was turned away by security.(South Florida Sun-Sentinel)(11-19-2015)

Rain. Just great. Need to put up Christmas lights anyway as a COLD front (highs in the teens, lows near zero) is coming in next week.

Somedays I run on just coffee and chocolate.

Stewart says there will be "a lot of changes" to his team: #14-Tony Stewart says that there will be "a lot of changes" to his team after this season following another disappointing year. Stewart would not reveal what the changes would be - "I think you'll have that answer soon enough,'' he said - but changes are expected in personnel, including with crew chief Chad Johnston. Stewart enters Sunday's season finale 28th in the points. It would be his worst career finish in a season he ran the entire schedule. The three-time series champion has not finished better than 25th in the points in each of the past three seasons. "There's got to be a lot of change,'' Stewart said Thursday at the Championship 4 Media Day. "It's not like we were a 15th-place car all year. We haven't even been close to that.''(NBC Sports)(11-20-2015)

Joe Gibbs also met with Brian France; talked to Penske: Joe Gibbs said NASCAR chairman Brian France came to the race shop on Monday to meet with both suspended driver Matt Kenseth and then the team owner. The meetings were separate and done in advance of Kenseth's return to the track this weekend. Kenseth was suspended two races for intentionally wrecking Joey Logano in retaliation. The payback ultimately cost Logano a spot in Sunday's finale. "We had good meetings, I think we're all in a good place right now," Gibbs said. "I think Matt is, too. I appreciated getting the chance to meet with Brian and I think Matt did, too." Gibbs also said he and Roger Penske had a pair of phone conversations as the feud between Kenseth and Logano brewed. He said Penske called him after Logano spun Kenseth at Kansas, and Gibbs called Penske after Kenseth wrecked Logano at Martinsville. "I think we really get along with each other," Gibbs said. "The things we kind of talk about it are between us."(Associated Press)(11-20-2015)

Wood Brothers returning to full-time racing in 2016: The Wood Brothers, NASCAR's oldest active team that has fielded entries in the Sprint Cup Series since 1950, will return to full-time racing in 2016, multiple sources have confirmed. Ryan Blaney will compete fulltime with the team in the series in 2016. It will mark the first time since 2006 the Wood Brothers have attempted to field a fulltime team in the Cup series. An official announcement is expected Friday afternoon at Homestead-Miami Speedway. Motorcraft will remain the anchor sponsor for the #21 Ford and Blaney in 2016.(Motorsport)(11-20-2015)

Side note- Was out to the store this last Monday and waiting at a Light to turn and the 21 Hauler turned the corner headed to I-77. While not unusual to see Haulers here in Race City (Moooresville) I got to thinking that in the 3-4 years I've lived here that was the first time I saw the 21 Team Hauler.

Kenseth and Logano meet before practice at Homestead: #20-Matt Kenseth met with #22-Joey Logano and NASCAR officials before practice Friday morning at Homestead-Miami Speedway. Kenseth, in his first race weekend back from a two-race suspension, met face-to-face with the driver he has feuded with over the past few weeks. "We had a little discussion before practice with NASCAR and met with them a little bit," Kenseth said. "Everything will be fine there. I wish none of it would have happened obviously. There's probably certain things we'll never totally agree on, but I think long term it probably will be fine, and I think we will work it all out.(11-20-2015)
