Well I watched most of the race yesterday and got tired of watching Kyle Bush just run away from the field. Same with the pickups. What have they figured out in his cars and trucks that he can just drive away from everyone else. They drop the green flag and in the first lap he has a 3 second lead and it just gets larger from then on. I am not a fan of his, but the little shi* can drive, but I still don't think he is that much better than anyone else. And he had the only car in the Daytona 500 that seemed to be able to just pass by itself with no help. I hope there is a road race on today as I am tired of the NASCAR hype and B.S.

Ok, guess I will watch some of that. It is raining here this morning so I can't get outside and work in the yard. I just have some rose bushes along the front fence to cut back and I will finally have them all done again for a year. I hate that job.
Darn, Kyle Bush did it again. What makes any car or truck he gets in so much faster than anyone elses. He just drives away from the whole field the same way he did last year. I know he is a good driver, but he isn't good enough to make those cars that much faster than anyone else can. They gave the total number of laps he led last year added together from all 3 divisions and it was almost impossible to believe. No one else could have led that many if they were the only car on the track. Ron :) |
Road races for me to. Nascar getting boring

I used to like to watch the Australian Races but they quit having them on here quite a while ago. I guess NASCAR couldn't stand the competition. One nice thing abut yesterdays Cup race, Kyle Bush never won. And I like Matt Kenseth, so that was nice that he won.

They said that advance sales were poor but they had lots of race day sales. Even with lots of people coming in at the last minute, it appeared to me that there were many empty seats. I watched the first few laps then a few drops of rain fell and they brought out the yellow so I switched channels and never went back to see what was happening.

Wayne,
They finished the race and it was actually exciting the last 35 laps. Kenseth and Gordon ran away from the field.If Biffle hadn't messed up on his last pit stop, it would have been a 3 car run to the end as all 3 cars were the class of the field and pretty equal. I also heard them talking on one of the many NASCAR shows that some of the track owners were trying to switch some dates and things around in order to get more people. Also they are lowering ticket prices and the cost of stuff at the concession stands. With the economy the way it is, people just can't afford to take their family to a race anymore. Ron |
All in all it was a good race. 5 caution flags but 4 of them were for rain showers. The one that did fly for a track incident was well warranted. Kevin Harvick grenaded an engine and must have slipped in his own oil as he went dead strait into the wall going into turn 1.
Good race to the end. Matt Kenseth and Jeff Gordon were going at it hard and pulling away from the rest of the field. Gordon just used up his tires in order to catch Matt, then couldn't pass him and eventually started falling off. |
" Dr. Jerry Punch, ESPN announcer, on if NASCAR drivers are paid too much. As long as you have baseball players turning down $25 million for one year to play with the Dodgers, we should be OK over here."

Yea, and a lot of those overpaid baseball players are on the downside of their careers. Being a St.Louis Cardinal fan and suffering through years of watching them pay unbelievable amounts to so called pitchers that couldn't make it on a good college team, I think they should put a real cap on their pay. Now if a pitcher wins one game more than he loses he thinks he should be considered for the Cy Young award. The Cardinals have to score at least 6 to 10 runs a game to have a chance to win and you just can't beat your own pitching over a period of time. They lost a lot of games last year in the last two innings when they would be leading by 2 to 6 runs.
