NASCAR - Pocono - 08/03/2008 - Plus Extras

Indy wasn't even worth commenting on. Crappy Race, Crappy Tires, and a 12th place finish for Jr.

Pocono was a strategy race due to a mid-race Red Flag. I'm glad Dale Jr. was on the good side of the strategy. Although the end he ran out of gas on the last lap, and so they are still talleying the final unofficial results. According to the TV they are listing him as 12th. It looks like NASCAR.com is listing him as 12th as well. He has at least retained his 2nd place position in the points, but when the chase starts that is not going to be sufficient. The bonus one gets for the wins will put Kyle still in first, and most likely Carl in second. So hopefully in the next 5 races Dale Jr can pull another victory lane for his fans. Richmond is a good track for him. Michigan was his last win, and he does well there consistently, he has made improvements at the Glen, so next week will be exciting to watch. I say Kevin Harvick had the most impressive run of the night, he wrecked on the first lap, fault Joe Nemecheck(1 Win sucky driver), but came back for a top 5 finish, way to go Kevin! So off to Watkins Glenn next Sunday at 1pm.

How about the nasty, stupid, crappy Martha Stewart who wanted all Earnhardt Flags down before she would travel to Kannapolis, NC. Perhaps we should take some of her towels and wipe our backsides with it and mail them to her. How disrespectful can a town get than to remove flags because of a single person, when that person has done nothing to develop the town. Even if the flags were in disrepair, they should have replaced them with new flags. It seems as if Earnhardt made that town. Even though I was never a Sr. fan, didn't really watch racing back then, and from what i've seen I would've been a Darrell Waltrip fan, but it's still disrespectful to his name. They should have replaced the flags with new flags and told the woman love it or leave it Kannapolis is Earnhardt City.

How about Mark Martin signing for two years with Hendrick MotorSports, finally Mr. Hendrick will have the opportunity to have a 1-2-3-4 finish. Casey Mears will never be a successful NASCAR driver, oh wait, in NASCAR if you have 1 win it seems they think you are great. I would say you could have no wins and win a championship, and be great, but 1 win could just be luck, just ask Joe Nemecheck or Kyle Petty. They both suck. Maybe Mark can get his championship and get that second place monkey off his back, even though he did have one championship stole from him back in the day. Retirement Age is getting bumped up so why not stay racing as long as you feel that passion for it.
