End Of A NASCAR Era

[Joe Wicked]

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.
