Anyway, somebody asked me earlier this week "what could they do to make it
safer?" in reference to the Olympic death. NASCAR and FOX showed us today what
you do when there is a problem with the track that is dangerous for the
drivers. Screw the network, screw the ratings and the advertisers, the track is
not shut down nearly 2 hours while they work on the track. Nobody likes it, but
it's what a responsible "Sanctioning" committee and network would do...

That made the most interesting end of a NASCAR race I have ever seen.
They started 26 or so cars in a pack with 3 laps to go and the green
flag, white flag, checker flag rule in effect (they couldn't end on a
yellow) The drivers all started with a "wrecker or checker" attitude
and they had 3 more wrecks with 2 restarts at "lap 2" and one on the
last lap that NASCAR raced through. The guy who won was about as
aggressive as anyone I have ever seen in a race car , then cried like
a little girl in the winner's circle.

If this is on You Tube, watch the way he scared the Napa car out of
the way. He broke the guy loose and then caught him before he spun
(all with the front bumper), then Mr Napa went up high and let him
pass. Jr Earnhart got on his bumper like he was going to scare this
guy, fat chance. That was where he was at the end.

Heluva an end to a race.

I was very curious as to why Jr. didn't make a run at the kid. The way he came
through the pack the last two laps was crazy, then he just backed off and took
second? I dunno' it looked to me like he had more car but didn't use it, makes
no sense, they are not team mates. I think they both use the same engine
builder though.

It was weird with the delays. I got Jessi and me down to the gym for some
monster circuit and watched the delay on the big screens, headed home and I
think I only missed 5 laps or so.
