NASCAR again

If you look back in my Blog archives, you'll note one of the last ones I did before taking a short break in my blogging chores had to do with the big NASCAR race in Daytona. Since then, we've had an interesting season so far. My favotite race here in Martinsville was spectacular, with Jimmy Johnson holding off Jeff Gordon for the last couple of laps to take the win. The Car of Tomorrow (COT) has now become the car of today pretty much. I was able to watch the new car very closely at the Martinsville race, and have been impressed with how well a few teams have been able to adjust to it. Notably, RCR and JGR. Dale JR fans have not been able to cheer as much as they might like so far this year. Some of his fans at Talladega in Alabama demonstrated just how rabid they are, and showed no respect for the sport in general, by tossing beer cans onto the track to show disgust and hatred of Jeff Gordon who won fair and square. What that sort of crap is going to cause if it continues is a total ban on beer at race tracks and we sure don't want to see that. Today is the Monster Mile race at Dover, but the weather does not look so good right now. Probably be a Monday race. Go Denny Hamlin!
