The June experience at Pocono left me with a bad taste. That place is horrible for a live race, rain or no rain. Yesterday’s race, The Penn 500, on the other hand was decent and worth watching, but that’s because I was in my own home in front of my plasma tele. Espn’s coverage is ok at best and Rusty Wallace should go back to commentator school, but I like the down force wind graphics. No other network can out-do Fox, at least not in my mind.

Aside from Kurt Busch’s domination, the race had some pretty cool racin. Did Jr.’s spin and comeback remind you of anything?? Young Denny at last years race… the only differences were the shock change and Denny did win it. Jr. did an awesome job, but Busch bumped him out of the top 12. The next 5 races will be very intense for the 10th through 14th spots and those Penske cars are on a rampage.

This weeks race is right here in my state at The Glen, but we won’t be going. Actually, we live closer to Loudon than we do Watkins Glen and although I’ve never been there I’ve heard that The Glen is also horrible as far a seeing a race.

Robby Gordon sat one out… at least he is man enough to stand up for what he believes in and then man enough to take the penalty without whining.
