… if I hear Rusty Wallace say, “I’ll tell you what,” one more time during the race I’m going to kill myself.

Kasey Kahne is under investigation after a ‘misunderstanding’ with a security guard at the Homestead track. All the details can be found at NASCAR.com.

I bet if Kahne were Carl Edwards’ teammate he wouldn’t have put with Carl’s antics from a few weeks ago.

So the pretty boy has an attitude too. Good for him. Maybe he is trying to get more into that bad boy blue collar image to suit his new sponsor for next year, Budweiser. All he has to do now is transfer it to the track and we’ll just have to see what happens.

Farewell Busch Series, but at least you went out with a bang. The last Busch race yesterday at Homestead was anything but boring with several lead changes and plenty of action. My prayers were not answered though as one final “Buschwhacker” did take the win. Jeff Burton winning was better than some of the other likely Cup drivers. That #29 Holiday Inn paint scheme was awesome. For a short time it looked like Steve Wallace was going to stay near the front, but the inevitable happened and he ripped the fenders off it again. The guys in the booth sure gave young Steve a lot of plugs on the tele, but that was probably to keep Rusty from blowing a fuse.

With Johnson on the pole there’s actually a chance he might not be in Victory Lane for the final race of ‘07. It’s not too often that a pole sitter wins. I’ve accepted his chances of this years Championship is all but owned, but I truly hope that we have a feel good race tomorrow with an unlikely or deservedly so winner. Like that of Ryan Newman or Mark Martin or even David Ragan for pete’s sake. If Johnson wins again, 5 in a row, I will blow a gasket. Will we have to see that TV commercial after this year with he and Knaus doing up that blue Camaro? The Camaro I swear I’ve seen in other TV ad’s, where Johnson says, with his pompous ass attitude, “We could always do my wife’s car” yeah OK Jimmy…since Chad’s probably doing your wife anyway he might as well do her car too.

I’ve been paying closer attention to Jeff Gordon lately. Earlier this week he was interviewed on NASCAR Now and I saw a different Jeff Gordon. He has changed a lot this year. It’s probably happiness coupled with fatherhood and maturity. It used to be I could not tolerate him and his nasal drawl, but somewhere in my heart I’ve found some new respect for him and I don’t believe it’s just me.

Mike Skinner proved that anything can happen in a close Championship race. Kudos to Ron Hornaday and too bad for Mike for losing a rear wheel. Perhaps Johnson will lose an axle tomorrow!!

Today will bring the final Busch race not only of ‘07 but forever. Please Lord, let there be a winner other than Shrub, Carl, Happy or Hamlin. And maybe Steve “Blinky” Wallace can keep the fenders on it. Amen.
