It was laughable to me that NASCAR threw that last caution for TAPE OFF SPARKLE PONY'Scar which was even out of the groove. An attempt to bunch up the field for an exciting finish. Or was it an attempt to ensure Edwards didn't run out of gas? Or an attempt to move Kenseth up a few spots in the finish? Or an attempt to give Sparkle Pony a "wave around" so she could finish 9 laps back instead of 10? Didn't really have to be any of those reasons, but you can guess it was a fabricated caution to manipulate the finish. Come on NASCAR, a piece of tape lying out of the groove. What gives with that. Oh, and while we are on the subject of manipulating finishes, what about the last lap of the Nationwide when a back marked spun on the last lap and there was NO CAUTION even though there were oncoming cars behind the spinner? What's up with that? Why Talladega and not Phoenix?
You know it gets really bad when the television commentators are talking about the late race caution sure to be thrown as if they, too, know of your B.S. Perhaps, as much as I hate to suggest this, you, NASCAR, should give half of the fine you assessed MWR back to whiney Mikey. At least the 5-Hour Spinergy Team made the manipulation look a little more believeable than a caution flag for rolled up tape up out of the groove.
I am writing David Letterman to tell him the biggest laugh he may get all season is simply to walk out for his monologue and say "NASCAR is a legitimate sport:". That should bring down the house.

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.
