Hey Nascar fans. Hope you are all having a great week so far. I am just getting back from a weekend of relaxation and then had to get back to the grind yesterday with school. Thats okay I totally aced the anatomy quiz and now I can relax and get back to the business at hand, Nascar!
Well being gone this weekend I didnt watch the Atlanta race, believe me it was a hard choice between paradise and nascar, haha. But at any rate, I am not sure I would not have been in pain watching and holding my breath with Harvick running up front and finishing second. I just hate to see him win because he gloats. Like he thinks he is so great but really he is nothing. I ask you, Kevin Harvick, what have you done for anyone lately??? I am surprised RCR has kept you around as long as they have. My answer would be nothing, you have done nothing. Plus nobody likes you anyway.
Kasey Kahne on the other hand!! Wow! I never mind seeing Kasey win. He is an all around great young man and I still would love to meet him sometime. That would really be great. So that makes like what 2 wins for Kasey this season?? Thats great Kasey. He has had a fairly well rounded season with 2 wins, 5 top five finishes and 10 top ten finishes in 25 starts. Not too bad for a driver who didnt do much at all last season. For a while it felt like it was almost Kasey who?? But congratulations to a fine young man what a way to get it done.
Well I cant tell you how happy I am that Kyle Busch is out of the chase too. Well he sits in 14th in points with one race left til the chase starts. To bad there is no “zero” in his win column, unfortunately he has had 4 oppurtunities to gloat this season, however that doesnt include his behavior at Nationwide races. At any rate, I am happy he is sitting in 14th without much chance of securing a spot in the chase.
On the other hand, my man Mark Martin is sitting securely in 10th place among chase contenders. More than anything else in this world I would love to see Mark win a championship this season. No driver is more deserving and has worked harder than Mark has. He never gives up, he is always positive and always charging forward. He is a class act all the way around. I know we have said it before but it bears repeating. Go Mark, we are pulling for you!
Well the Jeremy Mayfield story just keeps getting more bizarre by the minute. Apparantly now he is suing his stepmother for wrongful death in the shooting death of his father in 2007. Police speculated that Terry Mayfield took his own life with a gunshot wound to the chest. The lawsuit does not specify in what way his stepmother, Lisa Mayfield has been implicated in his father’s death.
However in a even stranger twist concerning the lawsuit against Nascar and vice versa, Mayfield’s stepmother testified under oath that she witnessed his using methamphetamine on at least 30 occassions over the last several years. Mayfield denied this statement as he has continued to do since the beginning. Mayfield also stated that he believes that his stepmother was payed to lie under oath about the driver’s alleged drug use by none other than Nascar. Come on now, seriously? Stay tuned.
Tony Stewart is helping Danica Patrick in her quest to find some in depth information about the Sprint cup series. Danica, who is definitely the most popular driver in her Indy car series, has expressed interest in Sprint cup racing and has met twice with Stewart now to fact find and get information about the series. Stewart who you may remember made the transition from Indy to cup cars some 10 years ago and would be the best person that Danica could seek out advice from. Tony said he thinks that Danica will end up in Nascar when all is said and done. I am not to sure how I would feel about that. I love racing and Danica, but never really considered having a female driver in the cup series.
With only one race left til the spots are locked in for the chase, the lineup seems to be pretty well locked in with only a couple of maybe’s left to be seen. Mark is secure in 10th spot for now. Kyle Busch is sitting in 14th and is almost a hundred points behind Mark. Kasey is locked into a sixth place seat for the chase and should be secure in that spot after his victory at Atlanta.
Of course the top three remain unchanged with only a swapping of second and third between Johnson and Gordon, go Jeff! Gordon now sits in second and Johnson in third. I am okay with that to be sure. Hamlin and Edwards round out the top five and then the rest of the gang is hanging out 6th through 12th with Kurt Busch, Ryan Newman, Juan Pablo, Greg Biffle, Mark of course, and Matt Kenseth holding onto to the 12th spot.
Alright well thats about it for now. This weekend the final chase race is on and they are racing in Richmond so it should be a great race! Take care everyone. I will be back before Sunday hopefully. Have a great week Nascar fans!
