For those of you interested in taking part in the one of many fights against cancer, Infineon Raceway, located in Sonoma, CA., is having a charitable fundraiser where you can run or walk against cancer.
The walk will take place Saturday, January 7th, on the 2.52-mile road course and that is NOT a flat track folks. It will be good exercise and for a good cause. In this case, the cause is raising funds for the fight against gastric (stomach) cancer.
Stomach cancer is the most common cancers in the world.
I remember from many years back in an environmental science class I took… there were fascinating correlations between the kind of cancer and where folks lived.
Societies that ate smoked food had higher incidences of stomach cancer, those who lived in cities with poor air quality had higher incidences of lung cancer, etc., etc..

This last Sunday in the Toyota/Save Mart 350 at Infineon Raceway in Sonoma, CA, the drivers standings got jumbled up like lottery balls in the air-blowing mixer! But it’s not quite that bad. Just in spots.
The drivers in the top-12 driver standings did not change, but the ranks in the top-12 did mix it up.
Jimmie Johnson moved up 2 to 3rd, Kurt Busch‘s win moved him up 3 spots to 4th while the biggest mover of the day was sadly, Dale Earnhardt Jr, sliding back 4 spots to 7th.
Right now Greg Biffle sits 13th, 14 points behind Tony Stewart but what’s more of a concern is that if we’re looking at wild-card play-off positions, if you remember, the drivers with the most wins in the 13th to 20th positions could find themselves in 11th and 12th. I mention that because Tony Stewart has no win under his belt yet. But Stewart, for the moment can breathe a sigh of releif because no driver from 13th to 20th has a win.
