Pace Laps
Once again, the NASCAR rain curse is back to work"¦but sure beats all that snow on the east coast!
OK, just one time, can we please have a decent singer for the National Anthem? (And I own that guy’s CD!) My dogs started howling when he was singing!
How long will it take for the SHRUB Kyle Busch to get trimmed if he continues his reckless ways?
F for NASCAR’s Penalty Against Carl Edwards
The first rule in calling any sport is to not make a close call unless you are sure! Carl Edwards helped avoid a disaster and got penalized for it. Come on, NASCAR, don’t throw the flag unless you are SURE!
D for Kyle Busch’s Reckless Driving
There is no doubt Kyle has amazing talent behind the wheel"¦but sometimes showing some patience is a good thing! If not for an amazing save by Mark Martin, Kyle Busch would have caused the "Big One." There were a few other occasions where his blocking was getting out of hand, too! Settle down, Kyle…it is a long season!
C for Kenny Schrader
Leading 18 of the first 20 laps showed this team is going in the right direction! Not being much of a factor when it counted is why this team deserves a "C" this week.
B for Tony Stewart
Smoke showed both on and off the track why he is a champion! On the track, he showed a great sense of teamwork, helping rookie Denny Hamlin win when he realized he couldn’t. Off the track, Tony spoke for a lot of the drivers when he slammed the bump drafting! Five years after the death of legend Dale Earnhardt, someone needs to remind these guys how fragile their existence can be, and speak out against this lousy restrictor plate package that is in place before it’s too late…again.
A for Denny Hamlin
The kid took over a lifeless team late last year and pumped life back into it! Now, he comes out of the box and wins in his first effort at Daytona. Not only did Denny Hamlin win, he did it in style! Not once all race did Hamlin cause a problem on the track, which is something most of the young drivers in the race could not say! It is also refreshing to see a kid that came up the hard way do good and show some real emotion.
