Okay, so while most drivers are headed to Mexico or doing something fun on their last off-week of the season, not Kurt Busch. According to his weekly diary entry, "I'm on a plane right now to Europe. Eva and I are going to watch the Hungarian Grand Prix Formula One race for our last off-weekend of the year. You guys know me - I can't be away from the racetrack for even one weekend! I hope everyone enjoys the weekend." That's just nuts.

I'm also watching one of my favorite shows, Beyond the Wheel, right now, and I must say, Biff just continues to crack me up. From the 16's in-car:

Greg Biffle: Now the guy that's taping the lids onto the bottle, you don't really have to do that, because normally the way I'd work it is they loosen the lid so they can get the air in, so I can get the liquid out of the bottle. Engineering type of thing.

Doug Richert: We'll get you a water here, hold the tape. The funniest thing was that the entire time Biff is saying this, he's driving and gesturing with it! It was amusing...

And finally, I'm not exactly sure how to react to Kurt's post-race comments on Beyond the Wheel.

in-car: Somebody needs to bring the little dog that we own to Victory Lane. She's a little winner as well.

studio interview: We wanted to bring Ginger to Victory Lane. It was great...We had the pet show the day before and then little Ginger won best of show for little dogs...and so it was great...she's got her trophy, I've got my trophy from it, and then of course, Eva's a trophy girl, so we had to bring her in there as well.

Is Eva Bryan supposed to be happy that she's Kurt Busch's "trophy girl"? (For more on Eva and Ginger, with info on where to see pictures of both, see earlier posts here and here). I just don't know how I feel. Of course, remember when Jay Mohr poked fun at Kurt at the Awards Ceremony, commenting that dating Eva "wasn’t a lateral move for you Kurt" and asking, "what was your pick-up line, 'Hello, I’m Peyton Manning'?" But still...wouldn't you think you'd avoid the term "trophy girl"?
