Daytona Afterthoughts

WOOF! Bully Supporter Wins Daytona 500!

Jr was fading…. JPM was not in contention (due to something not his fault), I still had Smoke and Kurt.

“Please just try to only wreck yourself Kyle….dammit there goes Jr…..What the heck ya doin’ Smoke?….oh no……GO Kurt!….huh….well that’s kinda neat….”

I think that is what the dogs heard during the last lap. At least no one crossed the finish line upside down or in flames this year. Last year’s Daytona 500 ended up being a clusterbang of scrap metal that made the drivers look like amateurs.

Did anyone bother to interview 8th place finisher Robby Gordon?!

If he actually received positive camera time, I missed it. Where did he come from at the end anyway? It was like a dirty secret no one wanted to talk about. His name just appeared on the screen when they showed the finishing order. I was thinking how happy he must have been…hoping to see him…maybe he just ran off to celebrate and no one could find him…..yeah right.

Two paws up for no one trying to blame the last few cautions on Juan Pablo.

*note to JPM….No more “pro wrestling” appearances…ever*. Whoever advised him that this was a good idea should be in the unemployment line Monday.

What were Jeff Burton and Bowyer arguing about after the race? (someone give them a chair!)

The Auto Club 500 in California is next week. Why? Unfortunately it is on the schedule, that is why.

Since it is, why not make the best of the situation and have it make sense?

Stay out there until it warms up. Sure, there is Vegas the next week; but why come back to freeze in Atlanta and Bristol? Perhaps Atlanta will sell out if the fans are not frozen out.

How about this? Common sense. Throw in Phoenix and / or Infineon after Vegas…then come home. Atlanta and Bristol may be a bit warmer by then.

Until Captain Obvious is in charge of scheduling, there will be more snow angel opportunities for the drivers.
