WELL THAT WAS SOME RACE LAST NIGHT, I NOW ALSO THINK THEY SHOULD LINE THEM UP ACCORDING TO SPOT ON ALL THE RESTARTS, BUT DON'T FIGURE THAT WILL HAPPEN IN God's LIFETIME.
GREAT BIG ATTA BOY TO TONY STEWART AND STEWART- HASS RACING, WE KNEW IT WAS COMING JUST DIDN'T KNOW WHEN.
QUESTION: IF MR. HASS WAS IN PRISON FOR TAX EVASION, WHY ARE ALL THOSE FOLKS OUR NEW PRESIDENT TRIED TO APPOINT TO CABINET OFFICES STILL OUT WALKING AROUND.
MATT AND THE BEE BOYS DID A REALLY GREAT JOB ALSO, JUST CAME UP A TINY BIT SHORT AT THE END, BUT STILL I LIKE THAT GUY EVEN IF HE ISN'T AS FLASHY AS MOST PEOPLE THING HE SHOULD BE.
QUESTION: IF JEREMY MAYFIELD TOOK AN ILLEGAL DRUG WHY NOT TELL WHAT IT WAS. WOULDN'T THAT BE EASIER THEN HAVING TO MAKE UP EXCUSES NOT TO TELL US.
I ALMOST FELT SORRY FOR THE TWIG, LAST NIGHT RAN HIS BUTT OFF AND SEEMED TO BE IN THE CATBIRD'S SEAT THEN GOT POUNDED AGAIN WITH DISSAPOINTMENT, BUT BEFORE IT IS ALL SAID AND DONE HE WILL HAVE A BUNCH UNDER HIS BELT.
QUESTION: IF IT DOESN'T SAY YOU CAN'T MOVE TO THE OUTSIDE ON A RESTART THEN WHY CAN'T YOU, AND EVEN WORSE IF YOU CAN'T MOVE TO THE OUTSIDE WHY THE HELL CAN YOU MOVE TO THE INSIDE. SORRY THAT IS 2 QUESTIONS, BUT WOULD STILL LIKE ANSWERS.
AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST WHY ON ARMED FORCES DAY, A DAY WHEN WE CELEBRATE OUR COUNTRY AND THE MEN AND WOMEN WHO DEFEND IT, DO WE ONCE AGAIN GET SOMEONE TO DO THE NATIONAL ATHEM, WHO CAN'T CARRY A TUNE IN AN OAK BUCKET. BASED ON LAST NIGHT'S PERFORMANCE I CAN HARDLY WAIT TILL THE 4TH OF JULY, MY GUESS IS EITHER TINY TIM, ROSANN BARR, OR PEE WEE HERMAN.
WELL WE HAVE ANOTHER ONE IN THE BOOKS AND ONCE AGAIN, DARLINGTON WAS FULL OF SURPRISES AND GREAT RACING. WE ALSO SAW DRIVERS WHO HAVE BEEN HAVING LESS THEN GOOD RUNS MAKE AN EXCELLENT SHOWING, MARTIN TRUEX JR., JOEY LOGANO, AND BRAD KESELOWSKI DID AN EXCELLENT JOB AND SHOWED THAT THEY WILL BE FORCES TO BE DEALT WITH IN THE NEAR FUTURE. AND NOW ON TO THE CURRENT HOT OR NOT.
NOT:
1. SCOTT SPEED: HE DOESN'T QUALIFY HIS CAR SO A DEAL IS MAKE FOR HIM TO DRIVE ANOTHER CAR AND HE SPINS IT AND WRECKS THE CAR BARELY 6 LAPS INTO THE RACE. THIS BOY HAS A TON TO LEARN AND HE NEEDS TO GET ABOUT IT IN A HURRY.
2. MICHAEL WALTRIP: IF NOT FOR BAD LUCK THERE WOULD BE NO LUCK AT ALL. IT MAKES ME WONDER IF MAYBE MIKE DIDN'T LOSE MORE THEN A FRIEND WHEN BIG DALE PASSED, LIKE MAYBE THE URGE TO WIN.
3. DAVID REGAN: JUNK ALL NIGHT LONG, HALF THE NIGHT IN THE GARAGE, I BET UPS IS WONDERING WHT DALE JARRETT I SDOING RIGHT NOW.
4. A.J. ALLMENDINGER: THEY CALL HIM DINGER AND AFTER THE WAY HE DINGED CLINT BOWYER, I GUESS I KNOW WHERE AND WHY THE NAME HAS STUCK.
5. 88 PIT CREW: THIS CREW APPEARS TO BE GETTING WORSE AND WORSE EVERY WEEK, I THINK THAT PAST MISTAKES ARE PLAYING ON THIER MINDS SO BAD THAT THEY CHOKE FROM TRYING NOT TO MAKE MISTAKES.
HOT:
1. MARK MARTIN: MARK STARTED 12TH AND CRUSIED MOST OF THE RACE, TOOK ADVANTAGE OF WHAT WAS GIVEN TO HIM AND CAME OUT ON TOP AGAIN. TOLD YOU LAST WEEK ABOUT AN OLD DOG TEACHING THE NEWBIES NEW TRICKS.
2. JIMMIE JOHNSON: TALK ABOUT A TURN AROUND FOR A LOUSY WEEKEND, BET EVERYONE WISHES THEY COULD HAVE THAT KIND OF A WEEKEND, EVERYTHING GOES WRONG AND HE FINISHES SECOND, HE AND KNAUS ARE STILL IN THE HUNT.
3. STEWART - HASS RACING: TONY IS STILL HOT AND RYAN IS GETTING HOTTER BY THE RACE, IT REALLY LOOKS AS IF RYAN AND TONY ARE HAVING FUN TOGETHER, SOMETIMES WE DON'T SEE VERY OFTEN AMOUNG THESE RACE TEAMS, IT LOOKS AS IF THEY ARE REALLY A TEAM NOT 2 DRIVERS WHO HAPPEN TO DRIVE FOR THE SAME ORGANIZATION.
4. JEFF GORDON: JEFF STARTED 2ND AND FLOATED BACK AND FORTH ALL NIGHT, LOST AND REGAINED THE POINT LEAD AND HELD ON FOR A 5TH PLACE FINISH, NOT BAD AT ALL FOR A MAN WITH BACK PROBLEMS.
5. NASCAR ORGANIZATION: I SPEND AS MUCH TIME AS ANYONE SLAMMING NASCAR AND SOME OF THEIR RULES, BUT THEIR QUICK AND POSITIVE ACTION AGAINST JEREMY MAYFIELD FOR FAILING THE DRUG SCREEN, IS AN EXCELLENT EXAMPLE THAT ALL SPORTS SHOULD FOLLOW. THEY ARE SENDING A STRONG MESSAGE THAT THEY WILL NOT TOLERATE DRUGS AND THEIR USE FOR AS LONG AS IT TAKES THE KILLER BEES TO DO A PIT STOP.
WELL NEXT WEEK WE MORE OR LESS HAVE A WEEK OFF TO JSUT WATCH A FUN RACE SO ENJOY IT. AS FAR AS THE HOT OR NOT FOR THIS WEEK, WHAT YOU SEE IS WHAT I SAW.
WELL FOLKS NOT SURE RICHMOND HAS BEEN HOTTER AND FULL OF MORE EXCITEMENT SINCE IT SERVED AS THE CAPITOL OF THE SOUTHERN STATES DURING THE CIVIL WAR . LAST NIGHT. IT LOOKED LIKE FANS TURNED OUT IN DROVES TO TRY TO ROOT DENNY HAMLIN TO VICTORY AND IT ALMNOST HAPPENED, BUT ONCE AGAIN A PROBLEM IN THE PITS TOOK HIM FROM A SURE WIN TO A 14TH PLACE FINISH. SOMETIMES I THINK IF DENNY DIDN'T HAVE BAD LUCK HE WOULDN'T HAVE ANY LUCK AT ALL. WELL SO MUCH FOR THE COMMENTARY AND ON TO THE POINT AT HAND.
NOTS;
1. BRIAN VICKERS: BRIAN STARTED ON THE POLE, BUT I THINK THE ONLY LAPS HE LED WERE THE ONES UNDER CAUTION AT THE FIRST OF THE RACE, AS THE RACE WENT ON HIS CAR SEEMED TO JUST GET WORSE AND HE WENT FROM RACING TO PLAYING LET'S GET IN THE WAY.
2. DAVID STREMME: DAVID STARTED THE RACE AT 11TH AND FINISHED IN 38TH AND IN HIS TRAVELS TO THE BACK HE MANAGED TO TURN CARL EDWARDS THEN POP MATT KENSETH. DAVID MIGHT WANT TO HAVE A TALK WITH KURT AND GET SOME POINTERS ON HOW TO GO FORWRDS AND NOT BACKWARDS, IT TOOK KURT AWHILE TO GET IT RIGHT , BUT HE KNOWS THE WAY NOW AND THAT IS FOR SURE.
3. DALE EARNHARDT JR. : THIS TEAM HAS NO FLOW THIS YEAR AT ALL, UP ONE WEEK AND DOWN THE NEXT. IF THINGS DON'T COME TOGETHER QUICKLY THEY MAY FIND THEMSELVES DROPPING LIKE A ROCK TO THE BOTTOM, AND MR. HENDRIX MAY JUST HAVE TO PULL A MR. CHILDERS AND STIR THE POT WITH A STICK, WE ALL KNOW THAT WHEN YOU STIR THE POT WITH A STICK SOMETHINGS GET THROWN OVER THE SIDE OF THE POT AND ARE OF NO USE ANYMORE.
4. A.J. ALLMENDINGER: SEEMS THAT A.J. WAS DRIVING BETTER AND WITH BETTER SENSE WHEN HE DIDN'T HAVE A SOLID RIDE FOR NEXT YEAR, COULD BE THAT HE NEEDS THE PRESSURE OF NO PAY CHECK TO KEEP HIM CALM. THERE IS A TIME AND PLACE TO FIGHT FOR WHAT YOU HAVE, AND WHEN THE LEADERS ARE RIGHT THERE AND YOU ARE DRAGGING THAT AIN'T THE TIME.
5. ROUSH RACING: MANAGED TO PUT JAMIE IN THE TOP 10 BUT, BUT STILL HAD ALL THE REST OF THE TEAMS STRUGGLING ALL NIGHT, IT LOOKS LIKE THEY ARE ONLY CONSENTRATING ON ONE CAR A WEEK, AND THIS HAPPENED TO BE JAMIE'S WEEK. THIS ORGANIZATION HAS 5 OF THE BEST DRIVERS IN NASCAR SO WE HAVE TO LOOK BEYOND THE DRIVERS AND REALIZE THAT THE PROBLEM HAS TO BE ON UP THE FOOD CHAIN FROM THEM.
HOT:
1. KYLE BUSCH: HAPPY BIRTHDAY TWIG, KYLE STARTED 14TH AND WORKED ALL NIGHT TO PUT A PROPER FINISH ON HIS SPECIAL DAY. KYLE GETTING THE PRAISE FROM DW THAT HE DID, SAYS A TON ABOUT WHERE THIS KID'S PLACE IN NASCAR HISTORY WILL BE. IT LOOKS LIKE THE BUSCH -ADDINGTON COMBO WILL TAKE OVER THE JOHNSON - KNAUS PLACE IN THE PECKING ORDER AT LEAST FOR THIS YEAR.
2. JEFF BURTON: JEFF STARTED 5TH THEN DID THE BUMP AND JAM WITH JR. THEN GOT HIT IN THE PITTS BY THE 42, HELD IT ALL TOGETHER AND PULLED OFF A 3RD PLACE FINISH, THIS GENTLEMAN IS THE BEST RACER IN THE RCR ORGANIZATION BAR NONE.
3. TONY STEWART: TONY IS ROLLING BETTER RIGHT NOW THEN HE HAS IN AWHILE, 2ND LAST NIGHT JUST ADDS ONE MORE TO HIS TOP 5'S FOR THIS SEASON, IT WILL NOT SURPRISE ME ONE BIT IF HE ROLLS RIGHT INTO NUMBER 3 IN HIS FIRST YEAR AS A OWNER-DRIVER., HIS WHOLE ORGANIZATION IS WORKING LIKE A FINE TUNED MACHINE, AND THAT MACHINE CAN ONLY BE DESCRIBED AS A MONSTER TRUCK.
4. RYAN NEWMAN: RYAN STARTED A LITTLE SLOWER THEN TONY, BUT HE IS GETTING THERE AND WHEN BOTH OF THE STEWART-HASS GUYS GET IT TIED TOGETHER FOLKS BETTER WATCH OUT. I THINK RYAN WILL CONTINUE TO PULL HIS PART OF THE LOAD AND WILL GET RIGHT BACK TO THE FORM THAT BOUGHT HIM THE NAME "ROCKERMAN".
5. MARK MARTIN: MARK IS JUST SORT OF LIKE THE LITTLE KNAT THAT WE KEEP SWATTING AT ,THINKING IT WILL GO AWAY, WE SWAT AT IT AND IT JUST LAUGHS AT US AND KEEPS COMING BACK. MARK REFUSES TO GO QUIETLY INTO THE SUNSET, AND THAT TICKLES ME MORE THEN ANYTHING. WHO SAYS YOU CAN'T TEACH AN OLD DOG NEW TRICKS OR IS IT THE OLD DOG WHO IS TEACHING ALL THE TRICKS.
6. SAM HORNISH JR. MARCUS AMBROSE: THESE TWO GUYS DID A SUPER JOB , HORNISH GOT BEAT AND BANGED ALL NIGHT AND AMBROSE GOT SPUN AND EVERTHING ELSE AND THEY STILL MANAGED TO COME IN WITH FLYING COLORS.WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE NUMBER OF OLD-TIMERS THESE NEWBIES EMBARASSED LAST NIGHT YOU KNOW THEY ARE GONNA BE AROUND A WHILE, GREAT JOB FELLOWS.
KURT BUSCH SLIPPED A LITTLE LAST NIGHT AT THE END, BUT THEN SO DID A BUNCH OF THE GUYS, ALL OF THIS YEAR AND I THINK FOR THE REST OF THE YEAR, ANYTIME SOMEONE SLIPS KURT IS GOING TO BE THERE TO FILL THE SPOT. KURT IS STILL IN THE TOP FIVE IN POINTS AND FOLKS DON'T LOOK FOR HIM TO DROP, FOR SOME REASON I HAVE THE FEELING THAT WHEN HOMESTEAD ROLLS AROUND IT MAY BE THE 2 AND 14 RUNNING FOR THE 1, WOULDN'T THAT BE A KICK IN THE HEAD. WELL THAT IS HOW I SAW IT THIS WEEK IT MIGHT BE RIGHT AND IT MIGHT BE WRONG BUT:
WELL AS THE STORM CLOUDS GATHER AND THE RAIN STARTS TO PITTER PATTER I WILL TRY TO PUT ON PAPER MY HOTS AND NOTS FOR THIS WEEK. FOLKS I SAW VERY FEW THINGS THAT WERE DONE WRONG BY DRIVERS, TEAMS , OR PIT CREWS, SO THIS IS GOING TO END UP MORE OF AN EVENT HOT AND NOT AS OPPOSED TO A DRIVER HOT OR NOT.
NOTS:
1. NATIONAL ANTHEM: TWO WEEKS AGO NASCAR HAD ONE OF, IF NOT THE BEST PRESENTATIONS OF THE NATIONAL ATHEM I HAVE EVER HEARD, THE PERFORMANCE TO DAY BY MISS AMERICA, KATIE STAM, HAS ONLY BEEN SURPASSED FOR BAD, BY ROSANN BARR A FEW YEARS AGO. 99% OF THE PEOPLE IN THE WORLD CAN NOT SING ACAPPELLA SO WHY HAVE THEM KEEP TRYING, USE A HIGH SCHOOL BAND AND LET IT GO AT THAT.
2, BURGER KING COMMERICIAL: SPONGEBOB AND SQUARE BUTTS HAVE NO PLACE DURING THIS TYPE OF EVENT, WITHIN THE LAST YEAR I DO BELIEVE THAT BURGER KING HAS HAD A COUPLE OF ADS PULLED BECAUSE OF POOR SLECTION OF DELIVERY OF THEIR PRODUCT. THIS COMMERICIAL IS SUPPOSED TO BE DIRECTED AT THE ADULT SPORTS VIEWERS, DO THEY THINK THERE AIN'T NO KIDS WATCHING THE RACE.
3. CURRENT NAPA COMMERICIALS: I KNOW THAT MICHAEL LOVES TO PLAY THE CLOWN, BUT THE CURRENT AD CAMPAIGN MAKES HIM LOOK LIKE A FOOL, AND IT MAKES ME WANT TO RETHINK BUYING ANYTHING FROM A COMPANY WHO WOULD ALLOW SUCH AN INEPT PRESENTATION OF THEIR GOODS AND SERVICES.
4. YELLOW LINE VIOLATION: I HAVE TO ADMIT I AM NOT REALLY SURE WHAT THE PURPOSE OF THE YELLOW LINE RULE IS, BUT IN THE LAST 2 SEASONS WE HAVE SEEN ONE DRIVER DISQUAILIFIED FOR BREAKING THE RULE AND ONE WRECK THAT COULD HAVE EASILY CAUSED AT LEAST 2 DEATHS (CARL EDWARDS AND RYAN NEWMAN) NOT TO MENTION ALL KINDS OF POSSIBLE INJURIES IN THE STANDS BECAUSE A DRIVER TOOK THE RULE TO HEART AND DID NOT DRIFT DOWN BELOW THE LINE, SO I WONDER IF THE PURPOSE OF THE RULE OUTWEIGHTS THE POSSIBLE OUTCOMES.
5. MATT KENSETH: I GUESS THE BIG ONE HAS TO BE BLAMED ON SOMEONE AND I GUESS MATT IS THE GUY IN THE BARREL THIS WEEK, ONLY THING HE REALLY MIGHT BE GUILTY OF IS GOING A LITTLE TO HARD A LITTLE TO EARLY IN THE RACE.
HOTS:
1 KURT BUSCH: KURT HAS 6 TOP TENS IN 9 RACES HE ALSO NOW HAS THE LEAD IN THE SEASON, SO HE HAS TO BE RIGHT ON TOP OF HIS GAME AND THE HOT ITEM RIGHT AT THIS POINT.
2. JEFF BURTON: BATTERY PROBLEMS EARLY CAUSED JEFF TO GO 3 LAPS DOWN BUT RATHER THEN JUST RIDING AROUND HE DROVE HARD TO GET ONE LAP BACK AND THEN STAYED IN THE RACE TO GET THE LD TWICE AND FINISHED 10TH , JUST GOES TO SHOW WHAT NEVER SAYING DIE MEANS.
3. JEFF GORDON: HANDLED BEING WRECKED EARLY VERY VERY WELL, TO THE BEST OF MY KNOWLDEGE THERE WAS NO COMPLIANING OR LAYING BLAME EVEN WHEN HE KNEW THAT EARLY THAT HE WOULD LOSE THE POINT LEAD.
4. CATCH FENCES: THE STAFF AND MAINTENANCE PEOPLE AT THE RACEWAY DESERVE A TOTAL STANDING OVATION AND HATS OFF, THEIR WORKMANSHIP ON THE CATCH FENCES MAY HAVE SAVED A TON OF LIVES TODAY, THEY VERY SELDOM GET THE CREDIT THEY DESERVE BUT THEY DID TODAY AND THEY HAVE A RIGHT BE BE PROUD AND SAY I DID THAT.
5. CARL EDWARDS: CARL SHOWED WHAT IT IS TO BE A TOTAL GENTLEMAN TODAY, HE PLACED NO BLAME OR MADE ANY EXCUSES FOR WHAT HAPPENED, HE GOT RIGHT ON CAMERA AND SAID BRAD FOLLOWED THE RULE TO A T, AND IN A SHOW OF NEVER QUITTING HE FINISHED THE RACE, WITHOUT HIS CAR, BUT HE FINISHED THE RACE NONE THE LESS.
CONGRATS TO BRAD KESELOWSKI ON A GREAT FIRST WIN, BUT LEADING ONLY ABOUT A 100 YARDS AND WINNING DOESN'T QUITE PUT YOU IN THE HOT GROUP BUT IS SURE A GREAT STEPPING STONE TO GET INTO THAT ELITE GROUP. AND TO ALL THE JR. FANS, JR. RAN A GREAT RACE AND HE AND HIS TEAM DID EVERYTHING RIGHT BUT THE SECOND PLACE DON'T GET HIM THERE EITHER, A REPEAT NEXT WEEK MAY BE A TOTALLY DIFFERENT THING. DALE'S RUN TODAY MAY VERY WELL BE THE FIRST STEP IN GETTING BACK TO FORM AND TAKING HIS PLACE IN THE TOP 12 WHERE HE BELONGS.
