Mickelson Is Back!

Phil Mickelson is at the U.S. Open and ready to play. With the approval of his wife Amy, who is home fighting breast cancer. There’s a report out that Mickelson’ wife would love to have the silver U.S. Open trophy in her hospital room. Mickelson on Wednesday had said to that account “I’m going to try to accommodate that.” If you don’t know much about Mickelson you should take the time to look him up. He’s one of the most likeable golf players ever, and he’s also one of the greatest player ever. What makes him so likeable is that he doesn’t let his fame go to his head, like other golf players. And he so happens to my favorite golf player, there’s no one like him. I will be pulling for him has he takes on the course Bethpage Black at this years U.S. Open, you all should too.

Changes At Hendrick Motorsports!

One of the biggest change’s has been made to NASCAR’s most popular driver Earnhardt Jr. has been made. That change was the removal of Earnhardt’s life long crew chief, Tony Eury Jr. Rick Hendrick the owner of the team made the decision Thursday. What makes this so hard for Earnhardt is because their family. Me personally I think it’s the right move. Anytime you work with family it’s 10 times harder. Earnhardt Jr. hasn’t been doing well at all. And the man he replaced, Kyle Busch took a shot at Earnhardt Jr. He basically said that Earnhardt Jr. feels all his back luck is because of someone else. But from what I read, Earnhardt Jr. stated that he blames no one but himself. I think Busch is still a little upset about getting forced out of Hendrick Motorsports. But Busch shouldn’t feel that way anymore, he’s become one of the best drivers last year and this year. Busch is racing for Joe Gibbs Racing, which he was given a great team to work with. Anyway, I think Jr. will pull through this and maybe even one a few races before the years out, well see.

Indianapolis 500 Winner!

Today was a good day for Helio Castroneves, that’s because he won the Indianapolis 500, the best race in racing. This is the third time he’s won this top race in his young life. If he pulls it out and wins another Indianapolis 500 he will join the ranks with A.J. Foyt, Al Unser and Rick Mears. Considering he’s only 34 years old he just might pull that off. He could also become the very first person to win 5 or more. This win also creates a first for Roger Penske. Penske now holds the most wins has a car owner, 15 Indy 500 wins. And to think that Castroneves was almost sentence to 6 years in jail for tax evasion, which he was acquitted on those charges. And the government dropped the other charges against him as well. So I guess he’s had a pretty good month and a half, wouldn’t you agree?
