Hey there everyone. Hope you all got to see that race yesterday. I sure wasnt expecting Kurt Busch to end up in victory lane last night. I didnt see that one coming at all. It wasnt all sunshine and ponies for some of the drivers last night.
One of Greg Biffle’s tire changers was taken to a Charlotte area hospital last night after being hit on pit road by Tony Stewart during a late pit stop. No word on rear tire changer Kevin McDowell’s condition following the accident. Hope you are back to work soon Kevin, good luck.
Well Jeff Burton was not a happy camper at all last night. After the race as Kyle Busch was emerging from his car, Burton came up and gave Busch a piece of his mind for a move that Burton felt Busch did purposely and caused Burton to cut a tire. I saw the exchange on tv and was not surprised at Busch’s lack of well just about everything in his response. He seemed to me to be smirking and ignoring Burton the entire time. Just another of the many reasons I dont like Kyle Busch.
As for his brother winning the race, well I admit in the past he has never been among my favorite drivers and didnt really do anything to help that situation when he appeared in Daytona along with several other more popular drivers a couple of years ago and snubbed fans and refused autographs while Gordon, Johnson, and Casey Mears were more than gracious enough to. Anyways I admit now that he doesnt seem quite as bad as before so maybe he is just more comfortable in his role now. I hope so.
Two of the drivers who were favored to win going into yesterday’s race also ended their days not so well. Denny Hamlin who finished 18th in the race, says he ruined his car when another driver who was favored to win, Jimmie Johnson hit the fence and came down at him causing Hamlin to hit the grass to avoid hitting Johnson. Hamlin says that move messed up his car. Looks like its back to the design and drive program Denny.
Looks like after the dust settled on the track at Lowe’s last night, the points standings got shook up a little bit. Harvick still remains first in points, but Kyle Busch is only 29 points behind him in second. Gordon moved up to fourth in the points with his solid 6th place finish. Johnson dropped 3 places to seventh in the points and Mark Martin is in 10th place in the points.
This weekend coming up they will be racing at Pocono. I havent ever been there to see a race. Maybe one day I will. Thats on the list right behind hugging Jeff Gordon. I do like Jeff Gordon though, so much so that I named my puppy Gordon. And thats no story either. Lol. Have a good week .
