First, what a horrendous crash Michael McDowell went through during qualifying. I think that’s one of the worst crashes I have seen. I was truly relieved to see him walk away.
Congratulations to Carl Edwards on his third victory this year. (big yawn)
Here are a few observations from the race yesterday:
-- I realized during the start of this race that I now have a driver that I focus on. Clint Bowyer, pictured above, is my focus. Ever since Dale Earhardt Sr. died, I’ve liked several drivers. But I have never watched any one driver since his death…until now. It feels good, too.
-- Jeff Gordon's bad luck continues at Texas Motor Speedway. He must absolutely hate this track by now. Why can’t that team get his car to go there? I don’t get it. Jimmie Johnson had a heck of a car as did Dale Earnhardt Jr. What is wrong with that picture?
-- Did anyone else notice that there weren't SAFER barriers on infield retaining walls? Do you think J.J. Yeley is going to refuse to race at that track again until they install them? Hhmmm....

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.
