GREETINGS FROM SW OKLAHOMA:
WELL WELL, ANOTHER GREAT RACE WITH QUITE A BIT OF EXCITEMENT AND EVEN A FEW GREAT EXAMPLES OF GOOD, CLEAN, HARD RACING. OF COURSE WE DID HAVE A FEW EXAMPLES OF DUMMYNESS ALSO BUT I GUESS THAT IS TO BE EXPECTED. HERE IS HOW I SAW THE RACE AND I HOPE THAT YOU MORE OR LESS SAW IT THE SAME WAY.
NOT:
1. ROUSCH-FENWAY RACING: HOW DO THEY EXPECT ANY OF THEIR TEAMS OR DRIVERS ARE GONNA BE A WINNER IF THEY KEEP PLAYING MUSICAL CREW CHIEFS? I GUESS I COULD BE WRONG BUT I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT THE DRIVERS ARE OK WITH ALL THAT CRAP, BUT I GUESS THERE ISN'T MUCH THEY CAN DO ABOUT IT.
2. START & PARK THIEVES: 7 CARS OUT BEFORE HALF WAY IN THE RACE, AND I DON'T REMEMBER A WRECK. I REALIZE THEY ONLY DRIVE THE CARS, BUT I WOULD HATE TO SHOW MY FACE IN THE GARAGE, WITH WHAT THEY ARE PULLING. I HAVE TO FEEL THAT AT SOME POINT PRIDE HAS TO COME INTO PLAY, BUT I AM NOT SURE WHEN THAT IS GOING TO BE.
3. KASEY KAHNE: TALK ABOUT START AND STOP, OR MAYBE I SHOULD JUST CALL IT UP & DOWN. THIS KID REALLY DESERVES BETTER THEN WHAT HE IS GETTING. IT'S KIND OF LIKE BUILDING UP A LITTLE KID'S HOPES THEN DASHING THEM RIGHT AT THE HIGHEST POINT. I KNOW KASEY HAS TO BE SO WISHING FOR THIS SEASON TO BE OVER WITH.
4. REED SORENSEN: DON'T THINK THERE WAS ANY CALL FOR THE PAYBACK, EVEN THOUGH IT TICKLED ME TO SEE JUAN SPINNING LIKE A TOP. REED NEEDS TO PRACTICE STAYING ON THE LEAD LAP THEN WORK ON THE PAYBACK THING.
5. CARL EDWARDS: THE DUCK CAN'T GET NO LUCK THIS SEASON, I DON'T KNOW IF IT IS THE DRIVER, THE TEAM, OR THE ORGANIZATION, BUT SOMETHING IS REALLY WRONG IN THAT CAMP AND UNTIL IT WORKS THRU, CARL IS JUST GONNA LOOK LIKE A COOKED GOOSE RATHER THEN A MIGHT DUCK.
HOT:
5. KEVIN HARVICK: KEVIN IS STILL MAKING PEOPLE SCRATCH THEIR HEADS ABOUT HOW HE IS STAYING IN THE LEAD, BUT I HAVE FIGURED IT OUT. HE HAS BEEN TAKING LESSONS FROM MARK MARTIN, AND THE TORTISE, FROM TORTISE AND THE HARE , SLOW AND STEADY IS THE KEY TO CONTINUED SUCCESS.
4. JEFF GORDON: JEFF MAY HAVE BEEN TAKING THE SAME LESSONS. I THINK HE HAS DECIDED THAT SOMETIMES PUSHING, PUSHING, PUSHING ISN'T THE BEST ANSWER. SOMETIMES TAKING WHAT YOU CAN GET WITH NO HASSLE IS THE BEST ANSWER AND HE SEEMS COMFORTABLE WITH THAT.
3. KURT BUSCH: I DO BELIEVE THAT THE ADDITION OF STEVE ADDINGTON TO THE 2 CAR'S CREW HAS BROUGHT MORE THEN ANYONE EXPECTED. I DO THINK IT HAS ADDED TO KURT'S GROWTH BOTH AS A MAN AND AS A DRIVER. KURT DROVE A GREAT REACE AND PUT ON A GREAT CLASS ON THE PROPER METHOD OF BUMP AND RUN. I STILL THINK KURT WILL BE ONE TO RECKON WITH BEFORE IT IS ALL OVER.
2. TONY STEWART: TONY SEEMED TO HAVE MORE LITTLE PROBLEMS YESTERDAY THEN CUSTER HAD INDIANS, BUT WHEN THE SMOKE CLEARED, TONY WAS SITTING PRETTY. TONY'S CREW IS MOST LIKELY THE SECOND BEST "FIX UP AND CATCH UP" CREW GOING RIGHT NOW, AND THAT FACT IS GONNA PAY BENNIES BEFORE THE SEASON IS OVER.
1. JIMMIE JOHNSON: THERE IS AN OLD SONG ABOUT DALE EARNHARDT, WHERE IT TALKS ABOUT HIM GETTING SENT TO THE BACK OF THE PACK FOR A ROUGH DRIVING CALL, HIS ANSWER IS " WE ARE DOWN, BUT WE'RE COMING BACK" THIS BEST DESCRIBES THE 48 TESM RIGHT NOW, JIMMIE AND MATES ARE THE PERFECT EXAMPLE OF THE "NEVER SAY DIE" ATTITUDE. I DIDN'T THINK THERE WAS MUCH CHANCE OF A FIVE'ER, BUT NOW I AM STARTING TO CHANGE MY MIND.
A TIP OF MY HAT HAS TO GO OUT TO RYAN NEWMAN, CLINT BOWYER AND DALE JR. THE LAST 10 LAPS OF THE RACE BETWEEN THESE 3 WAS SOME OF THE BEST I HAVE SEEN IN A WHILE.
THIS IS HOW I SAW THE RACE AND I HOPE MOST OF YOU AGREE OR AT LEAST SEE WHERE I AM COMING FROM. IF NOT CHIME IN AND LET US KNOW.
THAT'S MY OPINION - WHAT'S YOURS

HOT OR NOT: ROLLIN' THEM BONES
GREETING FROM SW OKLAHOMA:
WELL NEITHER OF THE HOMETOWN BOYS FAIRED VERY WELL TODAY AND IN THE END I GUESS THE WINNER WAS THE ONE THAT EVERYONE EXPECTED. I'M NOT SURE WHAT "THORN BUSCH'S" PROBLEM WAS BUT CAN SAY FOR SURE THAT KURT'S WAS NOT A PROBLEM OF HIS OR HIS TEAM'S MAKING, FOOLISHNESS ON THE PART OF THE E-G BOYS CAUSED KURT'S DAY TO GO TO HELL IN A HANDBASKET EARLY, AND THAT IS A SHAME. I THINK IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN COOL TO SEE HIM WIN AT HOME.
THIS IS HOW I SAW THE RACE, AND I MUST ADMIT I MISSED A LITTLE OF IT DUE TO GOING TO PICK UP GRANDAUGHTER AT WORK BUT I DON'T REALLY THINK I MISSED ENOUGH TO HAVE ALTERED HOW I SAW IT.
SPECIAL HOT:
THE YOUNG MAN WHO DID THE NATIONAL ANTHEM WAS SUPER, I SHOULD BE ASHAMED I MISSED HIS NAME AT THE START, BUT NASCAR NEEDS TO GET THAT GUY UNDER CONTRACT TO DO IT EVERY WEEK AT EVERY RACE. THIS MAN DID THE BEST VOCAL VERSION OF IT I HAVE HEARD SINCE I STARTED WATCHING NASCAR.
NOT:
1. JAMIE McMURRAY: THIS IS DEJA VU ALL OVER AGAIN, HE STARTED GREAT WHEN HE FIRST CAME ON THE SCENE, HE WON A RACE, HIS SECOND RACE THEN HE SORT OF WENT TO POT, THIS SEASON HE STARTS OUT WINNING THE DAYTONA 500 AND IS NOW HEADED BACK TO THE POT. OF COURSE, WITH HELP LIKE HE GOT FROM HIS SOUTH AMERICAN TEAMMATE TODAY IT IS NO WONDER.
2. BRUTON SMITH: GOOD GRIEF THIS MAN HAS MORE MONEY THEN CUSTER HAD INDIANS AND HE CAN'T PUT TOGETHER A LIGHT AND WARNING SYSTEM THAT WORKS OR AT LEAST HAS A WARNING BUZZER WHEN THERE IS A MALFUCTION. MY VOTE IS THAT KENTUCKY GETS NO NASCAR RACE TILL HE CAN GET THE LIGHTS FIXED AT THE TRACKS HE OWNS NOW.
3. JUAN MONTOYA: IF YOU HAVE A PROBLEM WITH A TEAMMATE GET WITH HIM AFTER THE RACE AND FIGHT IT OUT, BUT DON'T WHINE ON NATIONAL TV, THAT IS SOMETHING THAT WILL CAUSE MORE PROBLEMS THEN YOU CAN SHAKE A STICK AT. I WAS ALWAYS TOLD THAT WHEN IT COMES TO EMPLOYEES AND TEAMMATES, PRAISE IN PUBLIC AND CORRECT OR CRITIZE IN PRIVATE.
4. KEVIN CONWAY: I REALIZE THAT THIS IS A NEW KID ON THE BLOCK, BUT WHEN YOU BRING OUT 2 CAUTIONS BY YOURSELF YOU GOTTA THINK YOUR ROLLING NOTHING BUT SNAKE EYES. KEEP THIS PACE UP AND YOU MAY FIND IT HARD TO WIN THE ROOKIE OF THE YEAR, EVEN IF YOU ARE PRETTY MUCH THE ONLY ROOKIE RUNNING.
5. DALE EARNHARDT JR.: ONCE AGAIN JR. GETS A GOOD RUN FOR THE STARTING SLOT THEN RUNS THE FIRST OF THE RACE LIKE A HOUSE A FIRE THEN ENDS THE RACE LIKE HE IS GOING BACKWARDS. IT MIGHT BE THAT A LITTLE LESS ARGUING DURING THE RACE WOULD HELP ALOT. I HAD LOOKED AWAY FROM THE TV WHEN THEY PLAYED THAT VOICE CLIP AND AT FIRST IT THOUGHT IT WAS KYLE BUSCH AND HIS CREWCHIEF.
HOT:
5. MATT KENSETH: MATT STARTED 11TH TODAY AND WORKED ALL DAY LONG TO GET TO THE FRONT. THERE WERE TIMES WHEN HE GOT EVER SO CLOSE BUT IN THE END HE HAD TO SETTLE FOR 5TH, BUT EVEN A 5TH IS SO MUCH BETTER THEN MOST OF THE RACES HE RAN LAST YEAR, SO WHATEVER HE AND HIS NEW CREW CHIEF ARE DOING IT SURE SEEMS TO BE WORKING.
4. MARK MARTIN: THE NUMBER 3 MAN FOR HMS DID HIS EVERY SUNDAY DRIVE THROUGH THE PARK, JUST AS HE HAS DONE SO OFTEN THAT IT APPEARS TO BE OLD HAT, MARK MAKES IT LOOK SO SIMPLE YET WE ALL KNOW THAT IT IS ANYTHING BUT .
3. JEFF GORDON: 2 OR 4, 2 OR 4, I'LL BET YOU A BUCK THAT CHOICE NEVER COMES UP AGAIN. JEFF DROVE ALMOST A PERFECT RACE BUT AS HAS HAPPENED TO HIM MANY TIMES BEFORE HE ENDED UP A GROOMSMAN AND NOT THE GROOM. I AM SURE THAT JEFF WAS BURNING UP INSIDE BUT HE WAS THE PERFECT TEAMMATE WHILE IN FRONT OF THE CAMERA, I THINK JUAN SHOULD TAKE A LESSON.
2. KEVIN HARVICK: KEVIN STARTED 34TH AND AFTER WORKING HARDER THEN A ONE-LEGGED MAN AT A BUTT KICKING CONTEST FINISHED SECOND, ANYONE WHO DOESN'T THINK RCR IS BACK JUST NEEDS TO LOOK AT THE FINISHES FOR TODAY 2,8,11 THESE ARE A SURE SIGN THAT ALL IS GOOD AT RCR TODAY.
1. JIMMIE JOHNSON: AND THE WINNER IS JIMMIE JOHNSON. WHAT ELSE CAN YOU SAY, IT HAS ALL BEEN SAID BEFORE. I THINK MAYBE THEY NEED TO START MAKING JIMMIE START 43RD AND ONE LAP DOWN, AT LEAST THAT WOULD GIVE THE REST OF THE FIELD A FIGHTING CHANCE.
WELL THAT IS HOW I SAW THE RACE, I HOPE A COUPLE OF YOU AGREE AND EVEN IF YOU DON'T CHIME IN WITH WHAT YOU SAW.
