Gatorade Duel 150 Daytona

So today was the second race of the season. Some things have changed since last year, the biggest probably is the use of Electronic Fuel Injection. I didn't see much difference as fare as the racing on the track, but I feel it is going to make a big difference behind the scenes.I mean it is giving the engine builders such control over so many things,and you know how they like to play with things. I think you may see cheating taken to a whole new level,but for now lets just wait and see how all that plays out.

Today's racing was, well boring,of course everyone was trying to be careful and not tear up anything. The first race was the more exciting of the the two,but I have a feeling that Sunday may be more of the same. I mean pack racing is back, you really didn't see the two by two that we have seen as of late. I know that there were some people out there that didn't like it, but I didn't mind it I mean not only did you have to win the race but you had to have a friend to do it. It was still racing, but two cars had to work together and the drivers being able to talk made it all the more cooler to me. I mean here they are driving around at 190 mph and plotting against the other two car teams at the same time, how cool is that? But NASCAR put the end to that this year two, I think it will cause more trouble than it stopped that's for sure. Any way today's 1st race started with Robby Gordon smoking down the back stretch, I thought poor Robby. I mean I like Robby, I raced go carts with him at Mid Ohio one year. Not like on the track but at a public go kart place near the track.He is a really cool guy, and stubborn like me, I like that to. But he has to show up with better equipment, he knows what it takes to be competitive and I would like to see him win one. He made the 500 but it wasn't pretty. Tony won and JR finished second, under yellow for a crash that happened on the last lap. Poor Michael Waltrip, he crashed coming out of the pits, he is another one I love to death. I mean who doesn't, very cool guy, but I think his driving days are behind him. He won't race on Sunday, and it will be the first time since 1972 there has not been a Waltrip racing in the Daytona 500. But what I hated to see more than that, was Danica get punted into the wall, and a BIG hit. I really like her, I am all about girl power. She will race the whole Nation Wide Series this year, running about 10 races for Tony Stewart this year. I hope she is here to stay and does well, I'm pulling for her. In the spirit of full discloser, I'm no writer so please excuse my poor writing abilities I am a JR fan and of course being from Knoxville Trevor Bayne is my boy to. I have been a fan of NASCAR for many years and have been to a lot of the races live. I will do my best to not let that influence my blog. I appreciate you taking time to read this and let me know what you thought of today's racing. Thanks in advance!!!
