HOT OR NOT - A HOT DOG AND A RACE
Sunday, October 25, 2009, 07:55 PM EST [NASCAR]
GREETINGS FROM SW OKLAHOMA:
WELL FOLKS LAST WEEK I MANAGED TO UPSET A FEW FOLKS OVER SOME COMMENTS I MADE ABOUT KYLE BUSCH, WELL SORRY ABOUT THAT BUT I JUST WRITE WHAT I SEE AND HOW I REACT TO IT. ONE THING THAT WE ALL NEED TO REMEMBER IS THAT OPINIONS ARE LIKE REAR ENDS, WE ALL HAVE THEM AND THEY USUALLY STINK, SO WITH THAT IN MIND HERE IS HOW I SAW THE RACE THIS WEEK, AND MAYBE A FEW OF YOU WILL AGREE WITH ME THIS WEEK.
NOT:
1. DALE JR. : ANOTHER RACE AND ANOTHER HORRIBLE DAY, JR. MANAGED TO BRING OUT 2 CAUTIONS BEFORE THE TUMMS WERE EVEN ABLE TO KICK IN, FOR JR.'S SAKE I WISH THE SEASON WAS OVER AFTER NEXT WEEK, THIS YOUNG MAN NEEDS A LITTLE TIME OUT OF THE LIMELIGHT TO KICK BACK AND RELAX.
2. DAVID STREMME: DAVID DID THE OLD BOB, WEAVE, AND HIT THE WALL TRICK AGAIN THIS WEEK, ARE WE SURPRISED, BUT AT LEAST IT WAS HIS OWN TEAMMATE THAT HE WRECKED THIS TIME. BUT THE BRIGHT SIDE OF IT IS THERE ARE ONLY 4 MORE RACES BEFORE HE IS OUT OF THE CAR FOR GOOD.
3. KASEY KAHNE: WRECKED AND BACKED INTO THE WALL, IT REALLY SEEMS THAT THE CHASE HAS HIM SNAKE BIT AND GOING BACKWARDS, AT THIS RATE HE MAY END UP 13th RATHER THEN 12th.
4. NASCAR OFFICIALS: THERE WAS NO GOOD REASON FOR NASCAR TO ALLOW THE 34 CAR BACK ON THE TRACK, THAT WAS A PIECE OF JUNK LOOKING FOR A PLACE TO FALL APART, AND IT DID, AND THEN AFTER THE CAR SPUN ON THE LAST RESTART AND THE CAUTION WAS NOT THROWN, WHAT WERE THEY THINKING OF, BOTH OF THOSE COULD HAVE ENDED UP CAUSING REALLY BAD PROBLEMS. WASN'T THE SPUN CAR ALMSOT A TOTAL REPLAY OF DALE JARRETT SPINNING AND THEN STALLING A FEW YEARS AGO , WHICH BROUGHT TO A STOP, THE RACING BACK TO THE FINISH LINE.
5. CARL EDWARDS: CARL STARTED 29th AND FINISHED 20th JUST MOVING FARTHER DOWN THE LINE IN THE CHASE, FRUSTRATION HAS TO BE RUNNING WILD IN THE 99 CAMP, BUT CARL DON'T TAKE IT OUT ON THE WALLS AND OTHER DRIVERS.
HOT:
5. JEFF GORDON: JEFF STARTED 2nd TODAY AND DID FALL BACK A LITTLE BUT OVERALL HE RAN A GOOD RACE AND HELD HIS OWN IN THE CHASE. WE BETTER NOT COUNT THE RAINBOW WARRIOR OUT YET, I DON'T THINK HE IS QUITE READY TO HAND MR. JOHNSON NUMBER 4.
4. KYLE BUSCH: KYLE CERTAINLY COULD HAVE GIVEN DRIVING LESSONS TODAY, HE STARTED 41st AND WORKED WITH HIS TEAM ALL DAY LONG TO MOVE FORWARD, EVEN WHEN HE WAS UPSET BY THINGS ON THE TRACK HE HELD HIS TEMPER AND SHOWED WHAT A GREAT DRIVER HE CAN BE.
3. JUAN MONTOYA: EXCELLENT RECOVERY FROM LAST WEEK. PEOPLE TRIED ALL DAY TO GET HIM TO LOST HIS COOL AND MAKE A MISTAKE BUT HE JUST WASN'T BITING ON THAT HOT DOG, IF HE CAN HOLD IT TOGETHER FOR A FEW MORE RACES HE MAY END UP BEING THE WINNER. WOULDN'T IT BE INTERESTING IF HE KEEPS HANGING IN THE TOP 3 OR 4 AND MARTIN AND JOHNSON JUST HAPPEN TO HAVE A COUPLE OF BAD RACES, HMMM A CHAMPION WITH NO WINS IN THE CHASE, WHAT WOULD NASCAR SAY TO THAT.
2. JIMMIE JOHNSON: JIMMIE AND THE 48 TEAM RAN WELL AGAIN TODAY, I THINK THE OUTSIDE POLE POSTION ON THE LAST COUPLE OF RESTARTS MIGHT HAVE CAUSED HIM JUST ENOUGH PROBLEMS NOT TO WIN, BUT AT MARTINSVILLE SECOND AIN'T BAD.
1. DENNY HAMLIN: EXCELLENT RACE, AFTER THE LAST COUPLE OF WEEKS DENNY COULD HAVE VERY EASILY JUST GONE OUT AND DROVE AROUND, BUT HE KNUCKLED DOWN AND SHOWED EVERYONE WHAT A GOOD 'OL VIRGINIA COUNTRY BOY IS MADE OF. AND TO TELL THE TRUTH I WAS GLAD WE DIDN'T FIND OUT IF HE WOULD HAVE TAKEN JJ OUT FOR THE WIN.
WELL, THAT IS HOW IT WENT DOWN IN MY EYES AND NEXT WEEK WE ARE OFF TO DEGA, WITH SMALLER RESTRICTOR PLATES AND SINGLE FILE RACING, BUT REMEMBER THERE IS ALWAYS THE BIG ONE, ANY BETS ON IF MARK MARTIN IS INVOLVED IN IT.
THAT'S MY OPINION - WHAT'S YOURS

THE ANSWER TO "WHAT'S WRONG WITH DALE JR.
GREETINGS FROM SW OKLAHOMA:
FOLKS IT SEEMS AS IF, WHEN PEOPLE HAVE NOTHING ELSE TO TALK ABOUT, THE SUBJECT TURNS TO THE #88 TEAM AND WHAT IS THE PROBLEM WITH DALE JR.
I SAT DONW THE OTHER NIGHT AND THOUGHT ABOUT IT FOR AWHILE, HE HAS THE TALENT, HE HAS THE BEST EQUIPMENT MONEY CAN BUY, HE HAS AN EXCELLENT CREW CHIEF AND A FAIRLY DECENT PIT CREW. SO WHY ISN'T HE WINNING OR AT LEAST GETTING CONSISTENT TOP 5'S OR AT LEAST TOP 10". THE ANSWER I CAME UP WITH WAS NOT VERY COOL OR FLATTERING. I THINK JR.'S PROBLEM IS US, THE FANS, THE SPONSORS, THE TRACK OWNERS AND EVEN THE OTHER DRIVERS. WE EXPECT JR. TO BE THE END ALL OF EVERYTHING IN NASCAR RACING. I MEAN HOW CAN HE BE THE MOST POPULAR DRIVER AGAIN THIS YEAR WHEN YOU CAN COUNT HIS WINS FOR THE LAST 2 YEARS ON ONE HAND AND HOW CAN CAN HIS PIT CREW BE THE BEST AND FASTEST WHEN THEY HAVE HAD SO MANY PROBLEMS AND MISTAKES IN THE LAST 2 YEARS. I'LL TELL YOU HOW, WE, THE FANS, VOTE OVER AND OVER AGAIN FOR HIM AND HIS TEAM, THUS PUTTING MORE PRESSURE ON HIM AND THE TEAM TO LIVE UP TO HIS FANS EXSPECTATIONS. THIS IS NOT TO MENTION THAT HIS LAST NAME IS EARNHARDT, AND PEOPLE HAVE A VISION OF DALE SR. AND THEY WANT TO SEE IT IN DALE JR. AND WE NEVER STOP TO THINK THAT MAYBE JUST MAYBE HE DOESN'T WANT TO BE DALE EARNHARDT JR., MAYBE HE JUST WANTS TO BE JR.
I HAVE NOT BEEN WATCHING NASCAR BUT FOR A FEW YEARS, THE FACT IS , I STARTED WATCHING NASCAR THE WEEK AFTER DALE SR. DIED, BUT I DON'T RECALL EVER HEARING OF THIS KIND OF PRESSURE ON KYLE PETTY, DALE JARRETT, OR EVEN JEFF WALLACE AND ALL OF THEIR FATHERS WERE NASCAR CHAMPS ALSO.
WE, YOU & I HAVE PUT THIS YOUNG MAN IN SUCH A PRESSURE COOKER THAT IT WOULD TURN A 40 POUND TURKEY INTO MUSH IN 30 MINUTES. SO MAYBE THE ANSWER IS FOR US TO BACK OFF A LITTLE AND LET JR. BE JR. NOT DALE EARNHARDT SR. FOLKS OVER THE LAST 30 YEARS I HAVE DISCOVERED THAT ADULTS CAN'T RELIVE THEIR SO - SO HIGH SCHOLL ATHLETIC CAREERS THROUGH THEIR KIDS OR THURSDAY NIGHT SOFTBALL AND WE CAN'T KEEP DALE SENIOR ALIVE BY HOPING JR. WILL REPEAT THE DRIVING MAGIC OF HIS DAD.
THAT'S MY OPINION - WHAT'S YOURS

TSFAN, HOW'S THIS FOR A DIFFERENT FORMAT
GREETINGS FROM SW OKLAHOMA:
FOLKS ALL OF US HAVE BEEN HOLLARING ABOUT THE CHASE FROM THE GET GO, BUT NOW THAT IT APPEARS THE THE 48 IS GOING TO SEAL NUMBER 4 WE ARE SORT OF ALL YELLING AT THE SAME TIME.
TSFAN IS THE FIRST TO OFFER A SOLUTION TO THE CHASE, WATCH THE FIRST 26 RACES, DECLARE YOUR OWN CHAMPION, THEN FIND SOMETHING ELSE TO DO FOR THE LAST 10 RACES. BUT I FOR ONE DON'T WANT TO LOSE HER FOR THE LAST 10 RACES, I CAME UP WITH AN ALTERNATE TO THE CURRENT CHASE.
NASCAR RUNS THE SEASON MORE OR LESS THE WAY IT IS RUN NOW, AFTER THEY GET THEIR TOP 12 IS WHEN THE CHANGE TAKES PLACE. THERE ARE 12 CHASERS AND 10 RACES, SO AFTER THE FIRST RACE THE 2 DRIVERS WITH THE WORST FINISHES ARE CUT FROM THE CHASE AND BECOME THE 12th AND 11th PLACE DRIVERS FOR THE SEASON. FROM THEN ON TILL THE END OF THE SEASON THE DRIVER IN THE CHASE WITH THE WORST FINISH FOR THAT RACE IS CUT FROM THE CHASE AND TAKES THE NEXT SPOT UP THE CHAIN TILL YOU GET TO THE LAST RACE AT HOMESTEAD AND WE HAVE 2 DRIVERS LEFT, THE WORST FINISH AT HOMESTEAD BETWEEN THE TWO REMAINING CHASERS IS SECOND AND THE BETTER FINISH IS THE CHAMPION.
WE HAVE BEEN TOLD FOR YEARS THAT NASCAR STRESSES THE CONSISTENCY RAHTER THEN WINS TO DETERMINE THE CHAMPION AND THIS WOULD CERTAINLY DO THAT. FIRST OFF HE WOULD HAVE HAD TO BE AT LEAST ONE OF THE TOP 12 MOST CONSISTENT DURING THE 26 RACES OF THE REGULAR SEASON AND WOULD CERTAINLY HAVE BEEN THE MOST CONSISTENT DURING THE CHASE.
I AM GOING TO BACK TRACK TO RACE ONE OF THE CHASE THIS YEAR AND FOLLOW IT TO THE END OF THE SEASON JUST TO SEE HOW IT WORKS OUT.
I KNOW ALL OF US HAVE IDEAS OF HOW THIS SHOULD BE CHANGED SO WHY NOT GET A BUCH OF THEM TOGETHER AND THEN JSUT FOR THE HELL OF IT SEND THEM TO NASCAR IN BOOK FORM?
THAT'S MY OPINION - WHAT'S YOURS

HOT OR NOT: TANGLED IN CHARLOTTE'S WEB
HOT OR NOT: TANGLED IN CHARLOTTE'S WEB
Sunday, October 18, 2009, 03:06 PM EST [NASCAR]
GREETINGS FROM SW OKLAHOMA:
FOLKS THE RACE THIS WEEK WAS A GOOD ONE START TO FINISH, AND THE CREAM OF THE CROP REALLY CAME TO THE TOP. MS. CHARLOTTE CAST HER WEB AND SURE CAUGHT A BUNCH OF THE DRIVERS INCLUDING 7 OF THE "SUPER" CHASE DRIVERS. THIS IS HOW I SAW THE RACE AND I HOPE AT LEAST A FEW OF YOU AGREE WITH ME. BY THE WAY, A SPECIAL "COWBOY " SALUTE TO DAVID REUITMANN, HE WAS SICK AS A DOG THE WHOLE RACE, BUT DID HE CRAWL OUT OF THE CAR LIKE A LITTLE BABY, NO, HE RODE IT TO THE END AND DID THE JOB HE GETS PAID TO DO, AND FINISHED IN THE TOP 15 TO BOOT. MR. BUSCH THIS IS HOW A REAL RACECAR DRIVER DOES IT.
NOT:
1. JUAN MONTOYA: I FIGURED THAT WHEN JUAN CAME APART IT WOULD NOT BE PRETTY AND BE A TOTAL MELTDOWN. WHEN THE CREW CHIEF STARTS BEGGING YOU TO LISTEN, YOU KNOW THINGS ARE OUT OF CONTROL.
2. #11 TEAM: I DO BELIEVE THE #11 TEAM HAS BEEN ATTENDING " HOW TO BLOW THE CHASE" CLASSES, ANOTHER WEEK LIKE THE LAST 2 AND THE #11 WILL MOVE TO THE HEAD OF THE CLASS.
3. DALE EARNHARDT JR.: DALE IS SO UNLUCKY THIS YEAR, TONIGHT HE WOULD HAVE BEEN BETTER OFF TO TAKE HIS BROKEN CAR AND GONE TO THE HOUSE. THE BEST THING THAT COULD HAPPEN RIGHT NOW WOULD BE FOR HENDRICK'S MOTORSPORTS TO GROUND THE #88 FOR THE REST OF THE SEASON AND GET A EARLY START FOR NEXT YEAR, IF THERE IS GONNA BE A NEXT YEAR.
4. CARL EDWARDS: THE DUCK NEEDS TO GET A PAIR OF CRUTCHES FOR THE #99 CAR. I DO BELIEVE THAT IT IS SAFE TO SAY YOU CAN STICK A FORK IN THIS DUCK CAUSE THE SEASON IS OVER FOR CARL AND THE #99.
5. DAVID STREMME: ONCE AGAIN THIS WEEK DAVID PLAYED BUMP AND GO WITH THE WALL AND A FEW OF HIS NASCAR FRIENDS. THE LUCKY VICTIM THIS WEEK WAS GREG BIFFLE AND IT COST GREG BIG TIME, GREG MOST LIKELY WOULDN'T HAVE WON THE RACE BUT I DO THINK HE MIGHT HAVE FINISHED HIGHER THEN 16th. I WILL BE SO GLAD WHEN THE SEASON IS OVER AND THEY GET HIM OUT OF THE CAR.
1. JOEY LAGANO: DALE JR. AND SEVERAL OTHERS NEED TO TAKE A LESSON FROM THIS YOUNG MAN. HE MADE A STUPID MISTAKE EARLY IN THE RACE ( MISSED HIS PIT) THEN DROVE HIS BUTT OFF ALL NIGHT AND GETS A 5th PLACE FINISH. FOLKS, THIS IS A RACER WHO WILL GO FAR IN THE FUTURE. DALE WATCH THE RERUN OF THIS RACE SEVERAL TIMES TO SEE HOW THAT IS DONE.
2. JEFF GORDON: JEFFY DID A GOOD JOB ALL NIGHT LONG, MAYBE HE NEEDS TO DROP THE RAINBOW PAINT JOB AND ALWAYS GO WITH SOMETHING A LITTLE MORE MANLY, THE TRANSFORMERS AND THE NATIONAL GUARD PAINT JOBS REALLY SEEM TO BRING OUT THE BEST IN THIS GUY.
3. KASEY KAHNE: KASEY LOOKED TO BE ON A MISSION LAST NIGHT, BOBBING AND WEAVING BETWEEN THE CARS, IT BROUGHT BACK MEMORIES OF WHEN THE BUD CAR WORE #8 AND ANOTHER YOUNG DRIVER WAS IN HIS HEYDAY.
4. MATT KENSETH: MATT DROVE THE BLACK CARHARTT CAR LIKE THERE WAS NO TOMORROW, FOLKS JUST BECAUSE OF A DOWN SEASON DO NOT THINK THIS GUY IS GOING TO GO QUIETLY INTO THE NIGHT.
5. JIMMIE JOHNSON: SOMEONE ONCE SAID OF DALE EARNHARDT " LIKE HIM OR NOT , HE IS THE MAN" WELL, LIKE IT OR NOT I HAVE TO SAY THE SAME THING ABOUT JIMMIE JOHNSON. I THINK THE ONLY WAY THEY WILL CROWN A DIFFERENT CHAMPION THIS SEASON IS IF FOR SOME REASON JIMMIE DOESN'T DRIVE THE NEXT FEW RACES.
AS THE RACE SEASON DRAWS TO AN END , JUST FOR GIGGLES I WOULD LIKE TO VENTURE A GUESS AS TO THE TOP FIVE FINISHERS FOR 2009.
1. JIMMIE JOHNSON
2. JEFF GORDON
3. MARK MARTIN
4. TONY STEWART
5. KASEY KAHNE
THIS IS HOW IT SAW IT THIS WEEK AND NEXT WEEK ON TO MARTINSVILLE FOR FUN, FROLIC, AND ALL KINDS OF OTHER GOOD SOUTHERN THINGS. FRIED EGGS, A HAM STEAK, AND REDEYE GRAVEY SURE SOUNDS GOOD RIGHT NOW.
THAT'S MY OPINION - WHAT'S YOURS

HOT OR NOT : HOTEL CALIFORNIA
Monday, October 12, 2009, 06:53 PM EST [NASCAR]
GREETINGS FROM SW OKLAHOMA:
WELL FOLKS MOVING THE TIME AND DATE OF THE RACE DID DO A LOT TO MAKE THE RACE THIS WEEK MUCH BETTER. THIS IS THE WAY I SAW THE RACE AND I HOPE THAT SOME OF YOU SAW IT THE SAME WAY.
NOT:
1. FASTEST PIT CREW CONTEST: THIS CONTEST HAS TO BE FIXED, OR PEOPLE ARE VOTING FOR THE #88 CREW AS A REWARD FOR ALL THE SCREWUPS THIS YEAR. THE PROBLEMS THE CREW HAS HAD HAS COST SO MANY PLACES AND GOOD FINISHES THAT IT ISN'T FUNNY. THERE IS NO WAY THEY HAVE BEEN THE FASTEST OR THE BEST TEAM ON PIT ROW.
2. PIT ROW SPEEDING PENALITIES: WITH ALL THE TECH ADVANCES THERE ARE TODAY, THERE IS NO REASON THAT EVERYONE IN THE PITS, STANDS AND THE TV VIEWING GROUP CAN'T BE SHOWN THE SPEED OF THE CARS ON PIT ROW, THIS HAS TO BEG THE QUESTION " WHY WILL NASCAR NOT SHARE THIS TID-BIT OF INFORMATION?" SO LONG AS PEOPLE CAN'T BE SHOWN THE SPEEDS THERE IS ALWAYS GONNA BE QUESTION ABOUT IF A DRIVER BLEW IT OR NOT.
3. KYLE BUSCH: I KNOW THERE IS NO WAY THAT KYLE COULD HELP BEING SICK, BUT WOULDN'T HE HAVE BEEN BETTER OFF TO SIT OUT THE NATIONWIDE RACE IN ORDER TO REST AND GET BETTER SO HE COULD HAVE RUN THE FULL CUP RACE.
4. DENNY HAMLIN: FOOLISH MOVES 2 DAYS IN A ROW COST DENNY, THE NATIONWIDE RACE WAS NO BIG DEAL, BUT NOT TAKING THE INSIDE ON THE RESTART WAS FOOLISH AND COSTLY. DENNY WAS IN 6th WHEN THE WRECK HAPPENED AND HE ENDED UP 9th WHEN THE DAY WAS DONE. THE POSITIVE POINT FOR DENNY IN THIS WHOLE MESS IS HE TOOK THE FULL BLAME FOR THE WRECK AND ANY DAMAGE THAT HE CAUSED. THIS IS SORT OF LIKE CLOSING THE BARN DOOR AFTER THE COW GETS OUT THOUGH.
5. BRIAN VICKERS: BRIAN HAS SORT OF BEEN PLAYING THE ROLE OF "FISHIN' SINKER" FOR THE LAST COUPLE OF WEEKS, WHAT I MEAN BY THAT IS THAT HE STARTS THE RACE THEN SINKS TO THE BOTTOM, IF HE DOESN'T CATCH SOMETHING PRETTY QUICK THE END OF THE SEASON WON'T BE VERY PRETTY.
HOT:
5. TONY STEWART: TONY HAD TO HAVE RUN THROUGH THE "LUCKY FOREST" AND KNOCKED ON EVERY TREE. TONY STARTED 20th AND THEN HIS PIT CREW BLEW THE PIT CALL AND BROUGHT HIM IN LATE AND HE STILL FINISHED 5th AND STILL HOLDS ON TO HIS 4th PLACE IN THE CHASE, STILL WELL IN STRIKING DISTANCE OF THE CHAMPIONSHIP.
4. MARK MARTIN: FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE THE CHASE STARTED MARK IS NOT THE LEADER, BUT HE IS ONLY 12 POINTS BEHIND. MARK IS WITHOUT A DOUBT THE HAPPIEST AND MOST HUMBLE DRIVER TO EVER GRACE A NASCAR TRACK. ANYONE WHO DEEP DOWN ISN'T ROOTING FOR MARK HAS GOT TO BE A NUT CASE.
3. JUAN MONTOYA: ONCE AGAIN THIS WEEK JUAN DID HIS BEST TO DRIVE THE WHEELS OFF THE CAR. HE IS STILL THE ONLY DRIVER TO SHOW ENOUGH CONSISTENCY TO FINISH IN THE TOP 5 IN ALL THE CHASE RACES. BUT I DO WONDER IF HE IS BEGINNING TO THINK THAT HE NEEDS A SIGN ON HIS CAR READING " ALWAYS A GROOMSMAN BUT NEVER THE GROOM."
2. JEFF GORDON: JEFF RAN WELL ALL DAY STARTING 10th AND HANGING IN ALL DAY , HE JUST HAD HIS LUCK RUN OUT ONE RESTART TO SOON. I THINK YOU CAN ONLY OUTSMART FOLKS SO LONG. JEFF MOVED UP 2 SLOTS CLOSER TO THE TOP SO ALL IN ALL NOT A BAD DAY AT ALL FOR THE 24 TEAM.
1. JIMMIE JOHNSON: WHAT CAN YOU SAY, FOR THE LAST 4 YEARS THE SURPRISE IS WHEN JIMMIE DOESN'T WIN, THIS WIN JUST TOPPED OFF A SUPER RETURN HOME AND A GREAT WEEK OF FUND RAISING FOR THE JIMMIE JOHNSON FOUNDATION. EXCELLENT WORK JJ LOOKS LIKE MAYBE NUMBER 4 IS ON THE WAY.
FOLKS THAT IS HOW I SAW IT GOOD, BAD, OR UGLY, I DO FEEL THAT NASCAR HAS WOME WORK TO DO IN ORDER TO GET RID OF SOME QUESTIONS THAT KEEP RECURRING, BUT STILL RIGHT NOW IT IS THE BEST GAME IN TOWN.
THAT'S MY OPINION - WHAT'S YOURS

GREETINGS FROM SW OKLAHOMA:
WELL FOLKS I DON'T THINK THE LION OR TIN MAN WERE THERE TODAY BUT IT LOOKED LIKE THEY HAD A GREAT TURN OUT FOR THE KANSAS RACE AND THE FANS WERE TREATED TO A VERY GOOD RACE. THERE WERE A FEW CALLS MADE BY NASCAR THAT MADE ME SCRATCH MY HEAD, BUT OVER ALL IT WAS A REALLY GOOD RACE. WHY DO YOU HAVE THE YELLOW COME OUT WHEN A SINGLE CAR RAKES THE WALL AND DOESN'T EVEN THROW ANYTHING OFF THE CAR. ANYWAY THIS IS HOW I SAW THE RACE AND I HOPE AT LEAST A COUPLE OF YOU AGREE.
NOT:
1. PAUL MENARD: FELLOW, WHEN A BETTER DRIVER THEN YOU , LIKE JOEY LAGANO, SPINS OUT IN A CORNER, MAKE A NOTE OF IT AND DON'T TRY TO DRIVE THAT SAME LINE AROUND THE SAME CORNER IN THE SAME WAY 5 LAPS LATER, EVEN THE SCARECROW WITH NO BRAIN WOULD HAVE KNOWN THAT.
2. #88 CREW: YES, IT IS A TEAM EFFORT, BUT JR. CAN'T GET OUT OF THE CAR AND CHANGE THE TIRES. HE HAD ALREADY LOST THE LEAD AFTER 41 LAPS SO ONE OR TWO EXTRA SECONDS ON THAT PIT STOP WOULD NOT HAVE MATTERED THAT MUCH AND IT JUST MIGHT HAVE ALLOWED JR. TO CONTINUE ON THE LEAD LAP.
3. MAX PAPIS: WHEN YOU ARE RUNNING 32nd GET OUT OF THE WAY WHEN THE LEAD CARS OVER TAKE YOU AND PASS YOU LIKE YOU ARE SITTING UP ON JACKSTANDS, I MEAN EVEN THE TIN MAN KNOWS THAT, YOUR ACTIONS MAY HAVE BEEN THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN BIFFLE FINISHING 1st RATHER THEN 3rd.
4. NASCAR OFFICIALS: IF YOU INSIST ON RUNNING YOUR CHAMPIONSHIP WITH 43 CARS ON THE TRACK THEN YOU NEED TO SHUT UP AND LET THE CHIPS FALL WHERE THEY WILL. YOU SHOULD NEVER PULL A DRIVER DOWN OR WARN HIM JUST BECAUSE HE IS RUNNING TO WIN AND HAPPENS TO NOT BE ONE OF THE CHASE GOLDEN BOYS. KESELOWSKI WAS NOT BEING RECKLESS OR UNSAFE, HE WAS TRYING TO IMPROVE POSITION AND TRYING TO WIN, I THINK THAT IS THE IDEA, AND HE HAS AS MUCH RIGHT TO SPACE ON THAT TRACK AND TO VIE FOR THE WIN AS THE CHASERS.
5. BRIAN VICKERS: I DO BELIEVE THAT THE WICKED WITCH OF THE WEST WAS RIDING SHOTGUN WITH BRIAN ALL DAY LONG. HE STARTED 12th AND SEEMED TO HAVE PROBLEMS RIGHT FROM THE GET GO, FINALLY THE CAR JUST GAVE UP AND ENDED BRIAN'S MISERY, HIS POOR RUNNING TODAY DROPPED HIM 2 SPOTS IN THE CHASE WHICH WILL PUT EVEN MORE PRESSURE ON THE RED BULL TEAM TO TRY TO COME UP WITH THE MAGIC TO RECLIMB THE CHASE LADDER.
HOT:
5. DENNY HAMLIN: WELL THE LITTLE MUNCHKINS WERE WORKING OVERTIME FOR DENNY THIS WEEK, AFTER A REALLY BAD WEEK LAST WEEK DENNY STARTED 22nd AND USED THAT MUNCHKIN MAGIC TO FINISH 5th TODAY. DENNY RETAINED HIS SPOT RIGHT SMACK DAB IN THE MIDDLE OF THE CHASE SO ALL IS GOOD FOR THE 11 CAR.
4. JUAN MONTOYA: JUAN STARTED 14th AND HAD TO DEAL WITH A FEW BUMPS ALONG THE YELLOW BRICK ROAD ON HIS WAY TO A 4th PLACE TODAY IN THE LAND OF OZ. BORROWNING THE COURAGE FROM THE LION, JUAN HELD HIS LINE AND IS FIRMLY ENTRENCHED IN THIRD PLACE IN THE CHASE AND EVEN MANAGED TO GAIN POINTS ON THE SECOND PLACE 48 CAR. COGRATS TO JUAN FOR BEING THE ONLY DRIVER TO FINISH IN THE TOP 5 OF THE FIRST THREE CHASE RACES FOR 2009.
3. GREG BIFFLE: GREG BIFFLE HAS TO BE THE GUY WHO GOT THE TIN MAN'S HEART FOR THE RACE THIS WEEK, HE STARTED THE RACE IN ABOUT WICHITA KANSAS AND IT WOULD HAVE BEEN SO EASY TO FLOAT THROUGH THE RACE WITH A "WHO CARES" ATTITUDE, BUT WITH THAT TIN MAN HEART OF HIS HE FOUGHT TOOTH AND NAIL AND ALONG THE WAY HE LED THE MOST LAPS AND PUT ON A HECK OF A SHOW FOR THE FANS. I THINK A MIS-CALL ON THE LAST PIT STOP MIGHT HAVE MADE THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN 1st AND THE 3rd PLACE FINISH THAT HE GOT.
2. JEFF GORDON: JEFF STARTED 9th AND HE AND THE CREW HAD TO TOIL ALL DAY TO GET THE CAR RIGHT. I THINK MAYBE GLENDA, THE GOOD WITCH OF THE SOUTH, MIGHT HAVE SPRINKLED A LITTLE OZ DUST IN THE TANK ON THE LAST PIT STOP TO GIVE JEFF THE 2nd PLACE FINISH AND MOVE HIM UP ONE SPOT IN THE CHASE.
1. TONY STEWART: FOLKS HAVE BEEN SAYING THAT TONY WAS OUT AND THAT HE PEAKED TO EARLY, OR THAT THEY WERE RESTING ON THEIR LAURELS, BUT TODAY TONY PROVED THEM WRONG. TONY HAD AN ANGEL RIDING SHOTGUN TODAY, AND AN ANGEL ALWAYS WINS OVER A GOOD WITCH, AND THEY WERE ABLE TO OUTLAST JEFF AFTER THE LAST RESTART FOR THE WIN, THUS ALL IS GOOD TONIGHT IN MUNCHKIN LAND.
FOLKS THAT IS HOW I SAW THE RACE AND I KNOW ALL THE JUNK FROM THE WIZARD OF OZ WAS UNCALLED FOR BUT IF YOU CAN'T HAVE A LITTLE FUN WITH THE WRITING WHAT IS THE USE OF DOING IT. NEXT WEEK IT IS OUT TO SUNNY CALFORNIA WHERE LISA AND KRIS HAVE A CHANCE FOR RINGSIDE SEATS, BUT I THINK I HEARD THAT KRIS HAS A BETTER DEAL IN THE WORKS.
THAT'S MY OPINION - WHAT'S YOURS

GREETINGS FROM SW OKLAHOMA:
WELL FOLKS I DON'T THINK THE LION OR TIN MAN WERE THERE TODAY BUT IT LOOKED LIKE THEY HAD A GREAT TURN OUT FOR THE KANSAS RACE AND THE FANS WERE TREATED TO A VERY GOOD RACE. THERE WERE A FEW CALLS MADE BY NASCAR THAT MADE ME SCRATCH MY HEAD, BUT OVER ALL IT WAS A REALLY GOOD RACE. WHY DO YOU HAVE THE YELLOW COME OUT WHEN A SINGLE CAR RAKES THE WALL AND DOESN'T EVEN THROW ANYTHING OFF THE CAR. ANYWAY THIS IS HOW I SAW THE RACE AND I HOPE AT LEAST A COUPLE OF YOU AGREE.
