GREETINGS FROM SW OKLAHOMA:

    FOLKS,  I NOW KNOW FOR SURE THE 2 RACES THAT NEED TO GO INORDER FOR  KENTUCKY RACEWAY TO GET RACES NEXT YEAR.  FIRST KILL THE RACE AT SONOMA IN JUNE AND THEN THE RACE AT WATKINS GLEN IN AUGUST, THAT IS THE WHINE AND CHEEZ,  ISN'T RACING IN CALIFORNIA BAD ENOUGHT TO START WITH AND THEN TO THROW IT ON A ROAD COURSE TO BOOT.  I SUPPOSE THAT I AM JUST TOO HICK TO UNDERSTAND THE THE FINER POINTS OF ROAD RACING, BUT YOU CAN HAVE IT .  THINK I WILL JUST STICK TO GOING FAST AND TURNING LEFT.  OK, THAT IS ENOUGH OF THAT, HERE IS HOW I SAW THE RACE AND HOPE AT LEAST ONE OR TWO OF YOU SAW IT THE SAME WAY I DID.

NOT:

1.  DAVE BLANEY:  HE STARTED 19TH AND BY LAP 17 HE WAS 41st., IF THIS TEAM IS NO BETTER THEN THAT, THEY NEED TO JUST CLOSE THE DOORS.  IT WOULD  BE MUCH SIMPLIER FOR THEM TO TAKE ALL THAT MONEY THEY ARE WASTING ON RACING AND PUT IT IN A BARREL AND SIT IT ON FIRE.

2. KYLE BUSCH:  THORN WAS LIVING UP TO HIS NICKNAME TODAY, HE SCREWED UP GOING INTO A TURN TO HARD, AND SAM HORNISH TAKES A RAP IN THE SIDE THEN AS IF THAT WASN'T BAD ENOUGH HE TRIES TO POWER TURN THE CAR AND RAPS BRIAN VICKERS IN THE SIDE.

3.  BRAIN VICKERS:  ONCE AGAIN STARTED ON THE POLE AND USED THE DAY TO WORK HIS WAY BACK TO 16th FOR ANOTHER SO - SO FINISH.  BRIAN TRY STARTING 43rd AND SEE IF YOU CAN MAKE IT TO THE TOP TEN.

4.  MARTIN TRUEX JR. : MARTIN STARTED UP IN THE FRONT AT 6th, BUT NOTHING SEEMED TO GO RIGHT ALL DAY LONG AND HE ENDED UP IN 25th.  IT APPEARED THAT HE WAS PRACTICING FOR HIS MOVE TO MWR, HE LOOKED LIKE HE WAS ALREADY IN THE 55.

5.  BORIS SAID:  THIS GUY IS A ROAD RACER AND FOR HIM TO TRY TO TAKE A CORNER THAT HARD IS JUST UNREAL.  HIS NON-ROADRACER MISTAKE TOOK OUT 2 CARS THAT WERE MAKING A  PRETTY GOOD SHOWING TODAY, MAKES ME WONDER IF BRINGING IN THESE ROAD RACE GUYS IS WORTH ALL THE HASSLE.

HOT:

1.  KASEY KANE:  IT'S BEEN AWHILE SINCE KASEY WON A RACE AND UNTIL TODAY HE HAD NEVER WON A ROAD RACE, IT LOOKED LIKE HE DID EVERYTHING RIGHT AND ONE OF THE GUYS MADE THE STAEMENT THAT HE RAN A PERFECT RACE TODAY.  HE DESERVED THE WIN.

2.  TONY STEWART:  THIS WAS ANOTHER EXCELLENT RACE FOR THE OLD SPICE TEAM.  TONY IS GETTING BETTER EVERY WEEK AT HANDLING THE PRE AND POST RACE MEDIA WORK.  IF HE CONTINUES THIS WAY HE WILL NOT ONLY WIN THE CHAMPIONSHIP BUT WILL BECOME A MEDIA STAR AND MOST IMPORTANT THE SPOKES PERSON FOR THE DRIVERS IN THE GARAGE.

3.  MARCUS AMBROSE:  HMMMMM, LET'S SEE GETS THE NO. 3 SPOT IN THE STARTING GRID, THEN BLOWS UP A MOTOR THEN WRECKS IN PRACTICE ON SATURDAY AND HAS TO START 43rd AND ENDS UP FINISHING 3rd, NOT A BAD DAY AT ALL FOR THE MAN FROM DOWN UNDER.

4.  DENNY HAMLIN:  THIS IS THE SECOND WEEK IN A ROW THAT DENNY HAS HAD A GOOD RUN FOR THE GIBBS FEDEX TEAM, DENNY IS DOING EVERYTHING HE CAN TO PROVE THAT THE GIBBS BOYS ARE NOT OUT OF IT AND THAT "THORN " BUSCH IS NOT THE ONLY DRIVER THAT JOE GIBBS HAS IN HIS STABLE.

5.  JUAN MONTOYA:  I HAVE IGNORED THIS CAT FOR AS LONG AS I CAN, HE HAS RUN WELL ALL SEASON AND HAS BEEN MAKING HIS WAY TO THE TOP, HE CURRENTLY SITS IN THE 12th SPOT, CONGRATS TO YOU JUAN , YOU DESERVE IT.

     FOLKS THAT IS HOW I SAW IT, DON'T LIKE ROAD RACING AND NEVER WILL, BUT THEN I AM ONLY ONE PERSON AND I GUESS THERE ARE A FEW OF YOU WHO LIKE IT.

THAT'S MY OPINION - WHAT'S YOURS
