Food City 500 Bristol Motor Speedway
No rain!.. Usually rain has some impact on the race week end, but this week end we had some rain, a lot of rain, but it really didn't have any effect on the racing. Brad Keslowski did it again, this was his second win as in as many races, I think he has Bristol figured out. I think he is a Bristol kinda guy, he says what's on his mind and some times he will grab the public address system to make sure everyone hears him. I am always glad to see the Captain win to. I remember standing next to him down in the pits at Michigan, Roger Penske standing right next to me. I have been lucky enough to cross his path several times and every time he has always made eye contact and spoke, so always nice when his teams do well. It was a rough day for a lot of guys there were only fifteen cars left on the lead lap at the end. Jr and Gordon rubbed a little and that resulted in Jeff backing into the wall, Gordon had a strong car and would have been at the front, in the end. Like I said it was just a little rub and should not have been any big deal. All was looking well for Jr he ran in the top five most of the race, but he was clocked speeding in the pits when he came in for a splash of gas with just a hand full of laps left. In the end he finished fifteenth and is now sixth in the points, I know I keep saying it and maybe it is hopeful thinking or maybe even a blind squirrel finds a nut, but I think a win is in Jr's near future.A big shout out to MWR for having three of the top five cars today. I love Micheal Waltrip, what you see on TV is what you get in real life with him. I remember him ridding a beach cruiser bicycle around the vendor area at Bristol, than signing autographs at his trailer, such a humble and cool Guy. So it is very cool to see his team doing well and his sponsor Arron's has built there business around NASCAR, just very cool for all involved. Well on to California, I don't know why, we were just out in Vegas, why all the back and forth? NASCAR must like rolling them billboards back and forth across the country, works well for them. Thanks for seeing what I thought about today's race, I liked it..hope you did to. Have a great week, see you next!
