Booooring!
It doesn't take wrecks to make a race interesting; but it does take actual racing, and that was in very short supply yesterday.
After a wild and wooly Speedweek in Daytona, the drivers seemed ready to take most of this race off, and were content to just let the laps go by until there were under 50 to go. It was only then that drivers actually started racing one another.
It was so dull, I had to change the channel and watch golf to get a little excitement going.
The only good part of the race was watching Tony Stewart finish dead last due to a blown motor. NASCAR may not have the guts to reign this loser in, but apparently St. Octane, the patron saint of fast drivers and Texas billionaires, has what it takes. It was an added pleasure to see Matt Kenseth, Stewart's victim last week, win the race.
Justice was served.
The drivers get a week off before going to Las Vegas on the 12th, and after that, just three more weeks to Bristol, baby!
