I spent the weekend in Milwaukee covering the Craftsman Truck Series and Nationwide Series races and couldn't have been happier.

Driving an hour from my house to the track in West Allis, Wisconsin was sure better than dealing with the horror of flying anywhere these days, which is what I faced with a trip to Sonoma.

But that would have been nothing compared with facing the prospect of watching Sunday's race at Infineon, yet another example of what NASCAR should bail out of road course racing immediately.

Grand Am, Indy Cars, ALMS, F-1 - those are all fine road racing series.

But putting stock cars on a road circuit is just plain dumb and about as boring a thing to watch as I can imagine.

Thankfully I had two great nights of racing at The Milwaukee Mile to fill my weekend capped off by an afternoon nap Sunday while most of the Cup race wore on - and of course a Cubs sweep of the White Sox to put a cherry on that sundae.

Who are the Cubs playing in August when Watkins Glen rolls around?
