Royal Purple 300

Hey ya all!..Just checking in after today's Royal Purple 300 from Fontana. I have never been to Fontana but I have been to Michigan and they are what they call sister tracks, meaning they are a lot alike. The cool thing about Michigan is that you can see speed, what I mean by that is that you are close enough to see the cars but fare enough away that you can see what 200 looks like. When you go to some tracks when the cars are close to you they go by in a blur and when they are on the other side of the track you can't really see the car that well. Michigan is one of my favorite tracks to see a race at and one day I hope to check out it's sister Fontana. Big shout out to Joey Logano and JGR, Logano for winning today and JGR for winning eight in a row there. I'm not sure what they figured out about Fontana but it is obvious they know something others don't. Joey is one of those nice guys that always finishes last so it was good to see him win. Danika had another hard day blowing a motor on lap sixty six and finishing thirty fifth. In a interview with her after the blown motor she explained that she hit something and put a whole in her radiator, letting all the water out. Then she said she was told that the coolant was all that was left and that cooled the oil to like 160 and that is what caused the motor to go away. I am no Mechanic but that didn't make any sense to me, but again what do I know. Trevor ran up front today but after the twenty two ran over him, he finished fourteenth. The nice thing about a track like Fontana is that it is wide open, five wide racing and running wide open is what racing is all about. The problem is that there is not much rubbing going on at place like this and that can get boring. I'm not saying I didn't enjoy the racing I watched today but tomorrow I'm hoping that the race is a little closer. Hope you all are having a great week end, thanks for checking in on what I thought of today's race.
