I'm Pathetic!

I'm probably the world's worst blogger.

Thoughts on the season thus far:

Tony is awesome! He is proving all the naysayers wrong. I only hope his awesomeness carries over into the chase!

Junior, oh Junior. What the hell is going on with you? Switching out Tony Jr was a good move, I think, but things still aren't turning around. Where is the Junior of old? I'm beginning to wonder if you lost some of your heart when your daddy died. :( Come back to us Junior! We love you!

Kyle Busch - What a pathetic man-child. Trashing a guitar and claiming to want to give pieces to your crew. You've got enough money to buy each of them a replica of the damn thing! Get a life and grow up! I loved when Tony gave you a piece of your own medicine and put your ass in the wall at Daytona!

Well, as we wind down the "regular" season and prepare for the Chase, I must say the Top 12 is a little surprising, but not so much the Top 5. I mean, who seriously would have that JP Montoya would be in the Top 12 right now? And he's in a good spot too, he's not clutching at the bottom of the bracket. Ryan Newman is beginning to get his bearings back and we're seeing the old Newman of years past. I think the move to SHR has done him good.

So here comes Bristol, under the lights. One of the most sought after tickets on the circuit. I've been dying to go to this race for 10 years now, and guess where I'm headed Saturday! WOOHOO, here I come Thunder Valley! I can't wait to see racing under the lights. I hear it's amazing and a totally different experience than the Spring. I'm looking forward to the experience!

I'll see you under the lights Saturday night my friends!

Vegas Baby!

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!

Bristol Tickets

It is unprecedented, you can now buy tickets to Bristol outright. This NEVER happens, so it truly shows how bad the economy is.

So if you want tickets, go to www.bristoltix.com today!

See you there! I'll be in Junior gear!

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.
