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

I slept through both races and could have cared less. I don't know what it's going to take to fix whatever is wrong in the Dale, Jr. camp! I just don't think that Hendrick is sharing equally!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the rundown Gunny. I watched one full hour of the race. Johnson took the lead. I watched if for awhile. I said, bump this, I am going to go do something else. I was not going to watch another Jimmie Johnson win.
ReplyDeleteGreat Hots and Nots. There should be one more category added just for this chase race: Lukewarm, recipient: Tony Stewart and the 14 Team.
I am really starting to hate this chase format. And if NASCAR doesn't do something to change it, there are going to be more than me turning off the Chase races. I think next year I am going to watch the first 26 races, crown the champ and go on. Leave the other ten to Jimmie and Chad. lol
BEV,
ReplyDeleteCOME ON NOW GIRL NO SOUTHERN LADY REACTS LIKE THIS, GET ON YOUR HIGH HORSE AND DO SOME DIGGING, LOL LOL.
TO TELL THE TRUTH I AGREE TOTALLY WITH YOU I AM NOT SURE WHAT THE DEAL IS BUT JUNIOR AND McGREW HAVE GOT TO FIND THE ANSWER WITH OR WITH OUT THE REST OF THE TEMAS AT HENDRICKS.

TSFAN,
ReplyDeleteAS FOOLISH AS THIS SOUNDS COULD THERE BE A PLOT TO INSURE THAT JOHNSON BREAKS THE 4 CHAMPIONSHIP BARRIER, I REALLY WOULDN'T THINK SO BUT STRANGER THINGS HAVE HAPPENED.
LET'S SEE:
1. UN PROVED PIT ROW SPEEDING PENALITIES ( NO ONE SEE'S THE SPEED EXCEPT NASCAR.
2. INVISIBLE TRASH FOR YELLOWS TO COME OUT.
3. SURPRISE INSPECTIONS ON CARS WITH NO VILOATIONS.
WELL MAYBE, ANYTHING TO MAKE A BUCK.

Gunny you are right stranger things have happened. And you might be on to something about the four championships. Since Stewart has not done it and many thought that he would, maybe this is NASCAR's way of making sure that we have another 4 time champion. But like I told you don't be surprised if he does win 7 in a row.
ReplyDeleteTS,
ReplyDeleteI SURE HOPE YOU ARE WRONG CAUSE THEY WILL BE VERY BORING IF HE DOES.
GUNAQUAT
Gunny, It already is boring. The races have turned into the Jimmie and Chad show.
ReplyDeleteThe only time the back in the day drivers had dominated multiple races was because they had an unfair advantage and there wern't many rules back then to police that.
Theoretically speaking No one driver can dominate the races like Johnson has because the cars are al equalized to about the same specifications. If one car pulls a way from the pack, there is a grey area being compromised and NASCAR is looking the other way rather than equally enforcing the rules.
Remember NASCAR said these cars will allow closer racing together. It has happened but the #48 car still is always far out in front. Doesn't that make you wonder?
PHOTOGR,
ReplyDeleteWEL WE HAVE HEARD IT TIME AND TIME AGAIN, IF A CREW CHIEF AIN'T CHEATIN' THEN HE AIN'T DOIN' HIS JOB. NOW I DON'T AGREE WTH THAT BUT IF THE CREW CHIEF IS SMARTER THEN THE FOLKS WHO RUN TO SHOW SO BE IT, BUT IF THEY CATCH HIM WILL THEY HAVE THE NADS TO BAR HIM FROM RACING IN NASCAR?? NO NO NO SO WAH TIS TO BE DONE
