This and that

I have to admit that I did not watch the race this weekend. I am, however, happy to learn that Jeff Gordon is no longer the point leader.

Jimmie Johnson won his first ever race at Texas Motor Speedway bringing him to the front of the pack in the point standings as well.

If anyone would care to share their thought on the race, I would love to hear about it.

Kevin Harvick won the Busch race on Saturday. Seeing a racecar driver in a cowboy hat just doesn't seem right, seriously. He does it a bit better than some though.

Cousin Carl captured the Busch Series championship on Saturday.


The complete transcript of the teleconference from Friday's announcement of NHIS, whoops I mean NHMS, being sold has not been made available yet. I didn't forget, honest. Once it's made available, if it is, I will upload it in it's entirety for those of you who want to read all the question and answers.

I would rather see JJ get the championship than JG.

And an FYI about the Nascar track in NYC. That plan is dead at the moment. They gave up the option to purchase the land.

We may lose a race at Louden only because Nascar thinks we are only interested in Red Sox and Patriots.

It was a pretty good race though I had to keep flipping back to Pats/Colts. I'm not a big football fan but I was interested. Excellent finish by Matt Kenseth, Jimmie had the better car but Matt held him back as long as he could. After the pass it was all Johnson. The race did have lots of good back and forth. Gordon made a couple of risky(I'd say stupid) moves that put him struggling all day, but as usual he came back with a decent finish.

Felt bad for Biffle. I thought he was going to get it.

About this blog:
I am hopeful that this will be a place where people can air their two cents' worth about a race, catch up on the gossip and share their opinions on the rules and regulations of NASCAR. I have always felt that there has been a need for such a place in Maine and that this blog helps to fill the void.
