Kyle Busch, and Silly Season

Let's start by talking about Kyle Busch. He's had an amazing season so far, winning 5 races, and leads in the point standings. However, when asked in a recent poll whether Kyle Busch would win the championship, the majority of people said, no. Now, why is this? He's so dominant, winning races left and right, why would people think that he will end up losing in the end? Is it, perhaps, because of his loose cannon style of driving? He has talent, that is hard to argue with, but his style of driving is highly agressive, and it's often checkers or wreckers. Nonetheless, (is that one word? oh well.) we will just have to see how the season plays out.

The next thing I want to put my two cents into is, the silly season madness. Let's try and break it down. Tony Stewart might be leaving GIbbs to go to Haas CNC, Casey Mears is almost definatly leaving Hendricks, leaving the driver seat open for Mark Martin, possibly sharing it with Brad Keselowski. I'm not so sure about Tony going to Haas. Why would he go from a top notch team, to a mid-pack team? Unless he's just tired of all the ego over at Gibbs. I know I would. Well, maybe i'm biased since i'm a Kyle Busch and Denny Hamlin hater. I'm not too surprised about Casey getting the boot. When you look at his performance compared to the others, it just doens't stack up. With three of the Hendrick drivers in the top ten in points, and Casey is 24th, something was bound to happen. It is rumored that Mark Martin wants to run a full scheldule next season, and make a run for the championship. When I told my friend, a Mark Martin fan, this, she said "I thought he was going to retire three years ago! When is he going to make up his mind!" Then I told her he hasn't won a championship yet, and wants to try to, and she said, "Aw, well, that changes things." I think he should go for it, i'd love to see him win it, but I don't think he can do that from a DEI car, and I think he realizes that.
I'd like to end this blog with my condolences to the family, friends, and fans of Scott Kalitta.

The Nascar Lawsuit

I believe the Nascar lawsuit is very unforunate. If the allegations are found to be true, then this is not going to be good for Nascar's reputation.

Mauricia Grant filed a $225 million lawsuit on the basis of sexual and racial harrassment. Mauricia, an African-American female, is claiming that she was told she was working on "colored people time" and called such names as "Nappy Headed Mo" and "Queen Sheba". She also claims that two of her follow officials exposed themselves to her. These officials have been placed on administrative leave. While people debate if the facts in the lawsuit are true or not we are left to wait on how it plays out in court.

Finally.

That's the word I think of when I think of Dale Jr's win on Sunday. Finally. I don't believe there is a driver who deserves it more than he does. Although, I might be biased, :D lol. Thousands of fans, and many reporters, have been waiting for this day since 76 races ago. I missed the race because I had to work, and of course, the first race I miss in a year is the race where Jr. wins. I'm still stoked, and I hope that this win will breed many more to come this year. Second place was Kasey Kahne, who seems to still be riding the wave of momentum, starting with his win at the All-Star Race. Third was Matt Kenseth, who, in his opinion, was the car to beat. As I said earlier, I did not get to watch the race, but I did see the clip of Matt almost running over the official. Come on Matt, we all know the driver's don't like the officials, but, isn't that taking it a little to far? Lol, j/k. Fourth was Brian Vickers. In my opinion, he will end up getting a win within the next few races. Tony Stewart finished fifth. When asked his opinion of the race, he was sure what he could say, and pretty much sent a direct blow to Brian France. Brian called a supposed "Shut up and Drive" driver's meeting on Friday. (I think it was Brian France. Either him or Mike Helton...ya..I think it was him.....oops...o well. Sorry.)
