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

A Big NOT-
ReplyDeleteJesse McCartney for leaving out one entire line of the National Anthem. How does that happen? I know that there are those out there who brush it off as nerves. I've had to sing the anthem at sporting events, and I have serious stage fright; however, I have never left out an entire line. This is a song that should be ingrained into his head.
SPEED
ReplyDeleteYOU ARE TOTALLY RIGHT, I WAS NOT IN THE ROOM WHEN THEY DID THE NATIONAL ANHTHEM AND REALLY DIDN'T HEAR ABOUT IT TILL LATER.
I HAVE GRIPED SO MUCH ABOUT THE MIS DOING OF THE NATIONAL ANTHEM FOR FOR THE LAST 2 YEARS AND I APOLIZE FOR MISSING IT THIS TIME.

It is interesting that NASCAR doesn't Show the speeds. It is also interesting that NASCAR has a knack for picking goof balls to sing the Anthem.
ReplyDeleteThis chase is turning out to be the Jimmy and Chad show part 4

ReplyDeleteWHAT CAN I SAY WHEN YORU RIGHT YOUR RIGHT AGAIN.

Gunny, as far as Dale Jr., he will always win polls like this hands down. Because what he can't seem to do on the track, win, his fans will do for him by voting, voting and voting.
ReplyDeleteWhen Stewart went a lap down, I told my husband, well, Tony just blew his chance at the championship. So I kind of stopped watching. But I did keep up with the race on the computer. When I saw that he got his lap back, I was like wow, how lucky is he.
But then when Johnson won, I said, well, go ahead engrave his name on the trophy, it is over.
I hope that I am wrong. But until NASCAR does some tweaks to this chase, the 48 team will continue to win and more and more fans will walk away from NASCAR.
TSAFAN,
ReplyDeleteKASEY KAHNE HIT THE NAIL RIGTH ON THE HEAD AND NOW HE IS CATCHING HELL FOR IT. AND I REALLY DON'T THINK THAT PIECE OF RUBBER HOSE LAYING UP AGAINST THE OUTSIDE WALL WAS GOING TO CAUSE A PROBLEM.
AS FOR JR. FOR THE LAST 2 WEEKS HE HAS HAD GREAT RUNS THEN SOMETHING DUMP HAPPENS, THAT EVEN I CAN'T BLAME ON HIM. BUT I DO THINK HE AND McGREW ARE ON THE RIGHT TRACK FOR NEXT YEAR.
DON'T THROW IN THE TOWEL YET, REMEMBER IT AIN'T OVER TILL THE FAT LADY SAYS IT'S OVER.
