Congrats to Young Drivers Blaney & LaJoie - Dual Victors at Kentucky Speedway

Just when you wonder who will fill the fields at Cup races down the road, a new contingent of drivers somehow seem to miraculously blossom in each generation. From Bakers and Pettys to Bakers and Pettys, from Waltrips and Earnhardts to Gordons and Johnsons they keep coming. Buschs, Kenseth, Biffle, Edwards, Harvick... don't look in your rear view mirror long or you'll see a hungry pack of youngsters hot on your heels!

Two second generation drivers found victory lane at Kentucky Speedway on Saturday. Ryan Blaney, son of Dave, triumphed in the Nationwide Series and Cory LaJoie, son, of Randy took the ARCA feature.

We look around and see drivers like Kyle Larson, the Dillon brothers, Ryan Blaney, Chase Elliott, Cory LaJoie, Bubba Wallace and many as yet unrecognized others coming down the pike.

If NASCAR can keep its act together and control racing costs, looks like our grandchildren won't have to worry about qualified "shoes" to fill the drivers' seats in years to come.

It was obvious also that they are really good race car drivers. There is an immense pool of young guns ready and eager to step up and take their turn.

I didn't get to see this ARCA race but the one I watched a couple of weeks ago where Corey won shows he is going to be pretty awesome it would seem. And he is a Richard Petty Motorsports Development Driver? Wow!!! Maybe there is hope that the 43 will return to its glory days.

As for Ryan Blaney, I like what I saw in him the first time I saw him drive. He really put it on the guys Saturday. Oh, I know, the car he was driving has won with now four different drivers, but for a 19 year old to have to fend off so many challenges on late race restarts and do it with such ease was amazing. I can see him as a Cup star soon.

What a change! It's been awhile since I've checked in and I'm quite surprised. It may take me awhile to figure it our but first look it's really great.
