Kyle Busch…. We might as well get used to it. And I always hate to say this but…. I told you so! The kid has actually grown on me a wee-bit. Does he remind you of anyone?? Come on think real hard! Okay… so perhaps nobody wants to compare Rowdy to a late great Legend, but the young Busch drives like Dale and is just as intimidating. Point in clue… Busch nearly put Dale Jarrett in a tail spin on the final lap yesterday. This pissed me off at the time and I still feel it was an unnecessary evil, but Jarrett was holding Busch back from crossing the finish line with the Snickers car all by itself in the glory of the victory. He had it either way, so this just shows that he is still a selfish little you know what. But… what would Dale Sr. have done?? No driver got in his way and if they did they got pushed to the side and often into the wall and the fans loved this about Dale. I know I did. I don’t want to piss anyone off here, but it is what it is. Of course there is no comparison between the two off the track… Dale’s life and the way he lived it can never be compared. Kyle Busch is a turd but his skills behind the wheel are not short of amazing.

Goodyear. They’ve done a good job at pissing off many. Although the tires made for an interesting race. The drivers got plenty of practice driving loose cars.

Interesting. The point standings…not a Gordon or Johnson in the top 10. 3 Toyota’s, 3 Dodge’s, 3 Chevy’s and the lonely #16 Ford. Quite a balanced mix. With short track racing at Bristol this week it’s likely the Toyota’s will continue to dominate. It’s a nice change not seeing Gordon and Johnson dominating… we asked for it! But on the other hand it’s going to get old real quick with that #18 Candy Car up front every week.

Here are some observations about today’s race:

1) Toyota finally won a points race and it was JGR and Kyle Busch that did it for them. I’m not really surprised here, are you?

2) The “I’m Not Going To Roll Over and Die” award goes to Jimmie Johnson for keeping that car of his off the wall in on the lead lap. He should have wrecked out of the race today, but didn’t.

4) The most frustrated driver out there today had to have been Elliott Sadler. He brought out the caution flag 3 times in a row, and as it turns out, it was 3 strikes and you’re out on the third caution. You could just hear the frustration and disappointment in his voice.

5) Did you notice the Valvoline sponsorship on the 7 car?

6) The pace set early was fierce and put a lot of cars down fast, and kept them down - also made the race a little less exciting too.

7) Tony Stewart didn’t like the Goodyear Eagles and voiced his opinion. He finished 2nd didn’t he? So what is his beef? He sounds like Kyle Busch did after he won the first CoT race last year at Martinsville when he proclaimed that the CoT sucked.

Vickers is running pretty goo right now. Let’s hope he keeps it up.

9) Carl Edwards blew up. His oil tank probably wasn’t vented properly. Heh.

10) Gotta go, I very tired right now and it isn’t even my regular bed time yet - I hope I’m not coming down with any thing.

More tomorrow. Picture to follow.

If you live in Southern Ontario, Canada and you are a race fan then you are going to want to go to the CPT Racing Experience: A Celebration of Speed.

Clint Boywer’s show car will be there along with Dale Earnhardt’s (not necessarily the one pictured). There will also be a ton of other stuff there too, including racing seminars, and cars driven by Scott Goodyear, Ron Fellows, and Jacques Villeneuve.

Admission is just $12.00, and kids under 12 are free!

If I can get my schedule in shape, I just might be able to go for a couple of hours on Saturday, but we’ll see.

Thanks to one of my readers, Rick, for his help in getting the link and sending me the info.
