Again, not a whole lot to say this week, as we have been super busy around the house and we were out and about during most of the race on Sunday.
And Kyle Busch won, so who really cares! Ok, I know some people care, but I'm not one of them.
Looked like the Roush cars had some engine issues though, so hopefully that was a fluke and they'll be able to move on next week.
Poor Jeff Gordon (note sarcasm), missed pit road and ended up blowing a tire before he made it back around.
Like I said, I didn't catch much of the race. Hopefully I'll be back in the swing of things this week!

Fontana
Sorry for the lack of blogging Saturday. It was our son's 2nd birthday, so birthday stuff was a little more important than the race this week. We did have the race on though, and I'm so grateful that it finished under green even though they had showers off and one all evening.
Congratulations to Matt Kenseth for winning two in a row! May his streak of good luck continue!
Hopefully Dale Jr and his crew can get their kinks worked out soon and get back into the swing of things. I hate seeing him not do well this early on.
Kevin Harvick had his first DNF in a LONG time. I hope it was just a faulty engine part that can be identified and repaired so this doesn't happen again!
More later this week!

Matt Kenseth Wins
So they called it for rain. I think it stinks, but I checked the weather radar at weather.com and there is rain for the near future in Daytona.
So congratulations to Matt Kenseth on his Daytona 500 win. May it be a good start to his 2009 season.
We finally got to hear from Dale Jr. over his involvment with the big one. He says that he was just trying to save himself and recover from being almost pushed into the grass by Vickers. He said he wasn't trying to wreck anyone, but didn't feel sorry for Vickers, but he did feel bad for everyone else who was caught up in it.
So that's all for this week. See you next weekend!

Red Flag - Rain
The race is now halted for rain. Hopefully this storm will pass quickly and they can get the race back underway. I hate when they call races early for rain. It leaves it feeling unfinished.
The Big One
So, my man caused the big one, I have to admit it. It's right there for all to see. Do I think he did it intentionally, no. I think he was trying to follow the rules by coming back across the double yellow lines behind Vickers, and he was a little further up than he anticipated.
My husband disagrees though. He says that Jr. did it to get his lap back.
It seems the commentators seem to side with my husband. They say that he was letting off some of his frustration.
IMO, Junior knows what he's doing, and he knew that if he would send Vickers spinning it could cause trouble for him and many others. He's a good driver, he learned from the best. Sure, his dad bumped people a lot, but he learned to do it without wrecking them.
Now, for those involved in the wreck.
Brian Vickers
Robby Gordon
Kurt Busch
Kyle Bush
Denny Hamlin
Jamie McMurray
Carl Edwards
Jimmy Johnson
Scott Speed

Thank Goodness for TIVO
I am 15 minutes behind live time because my son has been wild and not wanting to let anyone sit still. I'm slowly catching up during commercials thanks to fast forward.
We are now officially 1/2 way through the race and they are saying the rain is coming. We're seeing the drivers race as though it's the last 10 laps of the race instead of the 1/2 way point.
At the rate we're going we'll see the big one happen sooner than later. These guys are relentless and they all want to win the biggest race of the year.
