I, too, believe Richard Childress to be a man of class and that was before he practiced fists exercises on the Candy Man. As I watched the end of that race, after hearing the commentators extol the virtue of Trevor Bayne helping Jeff Gordon because Jeff taught him so much at Daytona, I see Trevor duck to the inside and leave Jeff hanging out there apparently, from what the commentators said, was because NO Ford driver was to help any other driver that wasn't driving a Ford. I know Trevor did what he had to do, but to me that was low life. But thinking back over all my years of being around racing it always seemed to be Ford that cried the loudest, screamed the most, and generally bought their way into whatever they wanted. But anymore that really doesn't matter. What we saw today in Talladega was not racing as I have always thought it to be. What it was exactly escapes my ability to describe at this writing. Duck Boy did a good job of padding his lead but is that a racer? I think not, but it worked. So, I guess., rather than ruffle his feathers, I'll say "good job Duck Boy". Well, four races to go and the 2011 season is over. It started with promise when Trevor won Daytona, but it seemed. for the most part., to go down hill from there. I really think I am losing something here. I watched every lap of today's race, didn't miss a second of it and it still leaves me wondering what it was I was watching. Will I watch the remaining four races of this season? I am seriously doubting it at this time. I always loved Martinsville but I just don't know. And as for those other three tracks, well, they hold nothing for me. Looks like I'll have some free time for other things.

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.

It is almost like being in a serious relationship with someone already spoken for. You can go out,have fun,get intimate,but be careful of what might sneak up on your blind side.

Ole Brain boy has created a type of racing that unlike any other,at least on the two tracks that cause the sound barrier to pay attention.

Remember back,way back,when a big ole Plymouth,Dodge,Ford or even Chevy would cock their rear up high and take on the big boys at the super speedways? They had a flat nose and a high tail and big ole wide tires,about 9 inches wide that were kin to grip but not quite good enough. Tires controlled speed along with that flat grill and cubic inches were sufficient to exceed the limits of grip . That was racing because it took driver control to be able to kiss the trophy----Girl. I know Im dreaming but the method is still there to make racing fun and affordable. It would worry Chad to death and Booty would be going in circles trying to figure out a way to get more speed. Ok Ive vented and next week we can watch the boys bend the fenders in at Martinsville and maybe take a fender off on a couple of cars to look like it was 19 sixty something again and maybe the windshields will pass the test on color denisity.
