It's official: Vacation is over

After 8 solid days of fishing, canoeing, swimming, playing Wiffle ball and sleeping in a place with no phone lines and plenty of cold beer, it's back to the grind.

Nothing like a marathon night with 75 laps of Strictly Street racing and 50 more laps of the 1st Pro Stock race at Wiscasset Raceway in years, but that's exactly what I've got ahead of me. Part of me missed it, part of me didn't.

What's amazing is that after more than a week in the woods less than 30 minutes from the Canadian border, not much has changed. Rumors are swirling about the possible sale of a race track, Tony Stewart said something that drew ire from critics, Kelly Moore did something for the 1st time, and Maurice Young and R.J. Austin continued to find the way to victory lane at Wiscasset.

That's wins Nos. 7 and 4 this season, respectively, for the 2 central Maine drivers.
