I Hate The 48

The Johnson family. Jeff Gordon is probably the kids real father.

The 15 should have wrecked the 48 again


 

With only three races left in the chase, Jimmie Johnson has moved into first place with his victory at Martinsville. He holds a two point lead over Keselowski. Bowyer and Kahne have an outside shot but in reality it's down to the 48 and 2. Hamlin screwed the pooch today and he finds himself 49 points out of the lead.                                                                                                                                   

 

Ever since Johnson won the first of his five Sprint Cup Championships, NASCAR attendance and TV ratings have fallen. Coincidence? I don't think so. Johnson wrecked Montoya today and you know how hot tempered Montoya is. I hope the 42 seeks some revenge in one of the final three races of the season. If he does, he will be my new hero.

 

This week the series moves to another 1.5 mile track at Texas. The track at Texas is known for very high speeds and races very different then the other 1.5 mile tracks, with the exception of Atlanta. I will need your picks by 2:30 P.M. on Friday.

This week our tour takes us to the land of the midnight sun in Sweden. I hope everyone who reads my blog realizes the amount of research I have to do to find these pictures. I spend hours looking over potential pictures to use. Some of the sites I search have disgusting photos of women that I am forced to study. Sometimes I spend several minutes studying the picture to see if it measures up to my high standards. Staring at thousands upon thousands of pics is starting to affect my health. My eye sight is starting to go and I may have carpal tunnel syndrome. Is it true that masturbation causes blindness? Just asking.

Kenseth Kicks Competition in Kansas

Matt Kenseth won his second race of the chase but failed to make up any ground on the Chase leaders. Keselowski still holds a slim lead over Johnson, Hamlin and Bowyer. The Kansas race was marred by several accidents due to a slick track caused by the recent repave. "Slip Sliding Away" is the perfect theme song for the track in Kansas. You know, we can put a man on the moon but we can't figure out how to resurface a track without making it slippery as a nympho covered in K-Y Jelly. Surely there is an engineer out there somewhere who can come up with a way to repave a track and give it some grip. When they repaved the track they also put in progressive banking. You would think that the track owners would have taken a lesson from Bristol. DON'T PUT IN PROGRESSIVE BANKING. This year they finally took out the progressive banking at Bristol. They need to do away with it at every track that has it. There are 4 races left this year. This Sunday NASCAR heads back to short track racing at Martinsville. I will need your picks by 2:30 P.M. on Friday. Here are the race results and current standings:

Bowyer Fuel Gamble Pays Off

Clint Bowyer, driving the pink 5-hour Energy Toyota, celebrates his victory on the track, but not in Victory Lane. That is because he ran out of fuel before he could get his car into Victory Lane. With the win Bowyer was able to creep into the championship picture. In the post race interview Bowyer asked the reporters if they could believe that a pink car had won the race. He almost seemed embarassed that he was driving a pink car and was wearing a pink fire suit. Someone needs to tell Clint not to be ashamed. After all it is all pink in the middle.

I don't know if you all noticed how many empty seats were in the stands last night, but I did. The 1.5 mile and 2 mile races are too boring and NASCAR has too many of them. There were only 13 or 14 cars on the lead lap at the end of the race. In fact, the most exciting part of the race wasn't who had the fastest car. It was which cars had enough fuel to make it to the end. I am sorry, but that is not what racing should be about. After the race Kyle Petty, Kenny Wallace, Larry McReynolds, Rusty Wallace and Dale Jarrett were all lamenting the fact that too many races come down to fuel strategy and not to racing. The only analyst that seemed to enjoy it was former crew chief and car owner, Ray Evernham. Now come on. Are we supposed to take the word of a guy who left his wife for a buxom young woman who he "supposedly" was training to be a race car driver? Evernham found out the hard way that just because you stick your tool in a hole to loosen up a rear end, doesn't necessarily mean that the quick fix is going to work for very long. This is also the same guy who had been the crew chief for one of the greatest racers of all time, Jeff Gordon, but left Hendrick Motor Sports to become crew chief for meth head, Jeremy Mayfield. So I don't think I'll trust his judgement. The other analysts all seemed to be in agreement that NASCAR needs to do something about the problem. I am no expert, but to me it seems like that there are two easy ways to fix it. Make the races 10 laps shorter or 10 laps longer, or make the gas tanks a bit larger or smaller.

The big news out of NASCAR this week was that there would be a change in the qualifying format for next season. I was kind of excited about the news until I found out what the proposed changes would be. The "top 35" rule will be gone. That is the good part. Now for the bad part. The top 36 in qualifying will be set by qualifying speeds. The remaining seven spots will be determined by provisionals. NASCAR will come up with new provisional rules. The new provisional rules will assure that all the top drivers make the race no matter if they stink it up in qualifying. As far as I am concerned, why change the rules if this is the new rule. In the end, it is really not that much different than what they are doing now. The other rule change for qualifying is the order in which cars will qualify. This year qualifying order was set by a drivers speed in the first practice. Slower cars go first in qualifying while the faster cars qualify towards the end. Next year qualifying order will be determined by a blind draw, not practice speeds. This rule goes back to the old way that NASCAR used to do it.

Okay, now on to the standings. The race for the last segment is really close so it is anybody's ballgame. There are 12 guys within 65 poinbts of the lead in this final segment. There are five races left so plenty of time to make up 65 points. Here are the results and current standings:

This week's race is at Kansas on Sunday. I will need your picks by 4 P.M. on Friday. Qualifying starts at 4:10 P.M. on Friday. This race could be interesting. After the spring race the track was resurfaced so all teams will be flying blind. However, NASCAR will be holding three practice sessions this week before the official race practice and qualifying. This is to lay some rubber down on the new surface and to give the teams time to analyze the new surface.
