2015 NASCAR Xfinity Race Nine Talladega

Glory Hallelujah, the Xfinity Race is on FOX so we can actually watch it – instead of Championship Darts! Starting with a wreck on lap two the race at Talladega has been a bit of a mess. After a couple of early cautions, the field settled into single file racing for a while, then the chaos revved up again.

Later in the race on lap 73 of 113 a big wreck resulted from people slowing up to go to the pits and getting run over by people behind them. During the melee Brendan Gaughan hit the pit wall and injured two pit crew members of Aric Almirola’s 98 team.

2015 NASCAR Sprint Cup Race Seven Texas

So, Texas tonight after a weekend off. The Easter break always seems to come too quickly too me – too early in the season to be taking a break. Happy Birthday Kasey Kahne. Kasey turned 35 Friday. Get well Steve Byrnes. Byrnsey was released from ICU. He’s dealing with pneumonia and blood clots on top of everything else. Sigh.

The only entertaining part of that is when the drivers are honest with him and call him on his stupidity. It’s ridiculous. No More Michael Waltrip PLEASE!!!
