The Way I See It!
Jimmie Wins!!! Jimmie had a great points day, leading laps, started on pole, won the race. Jimmie has led 35 of the last 40 Chase races. Burton finished second. Jimmie has won 19 of the 62 Chase races that have been run.
The race was okay. They would string out pretty quickly and had lots of long green flag runs. Most of the pit stops were green flag pit stops. Clint Bowyer had a miserable day and finished several laps down. Continue reading “2010 Fall Dover Sunday”

Sprint Cup practice was eventful today as Kevin Harvick ran into Denny Hamlin on the track a few times causing a bit of damage on the right front and rear of Hamlin’s car. When both drivers were called to the garage by NASCAR a war of words ensued between crew chiefs, drivers, and various members of both teams which resulted in Director of Competition John Darby and other NASCAR officials stepping in. It is believed the incident was sparked by comments made by Hamlin during yesterday’s press conferences. Hamlin had a lot to say about Clint Bowyer’s 33 Team’s penalties for failing post-race inspection last week. While it appeared all of the drivers were asked about the incident, Denny’s response seemed the most provocative. Continue reading “2010 Fall Dover Saturday”
I get home from work; exhausted and stressed. I turn on the television and check out the offerings on the channel guide. I see the following description:

Movie, Horror, Suspense (2008) Stephen McHattie, Lisa Houle.
A virus that spreads through the English language turns people into zombies.
Since I’m not quite ready to dive into anything else I decide to give it a try. This is an amazing movie. For anyone who loves movies, interesting, quirky movies, this one is a must see. I expected a zombie movie, but I didn’t expect anything more. This one has a bit more to offer. Check out Pontypool the next time you have the opportunity.
The 2010 Chase for the Sprint Cup Championship begins today under a partly cloudy sky in Loudon New Hampshire. Baby Genevieve Marie is on pit road with Daddy Jimmie. Continue reading “2010 Fall Loudon 1st Race of the Chase”
Atlanta Motor Speedway. Labor Day 2010. Blue skies, temperature in the mid 80s with a cool breeze wafting across the vast expanse of track, grandstands, parking and camping areas. What a lovely day for a race!
Since it has been announced that Atlanta will no longer host two NASCAR races per season the Labor Day Race is now, not only the last summer party weekend of the year, it is also the ultimate event for Georgia (Alabama and Tennessee) NASCAR fans. It seems NASCAR couldn’t figure out that race attendance might be low if people never knew if it would be snowy, hot, cold, rainy, tornadic, or a all of the above on race day and decided to cut the Spring race from the Sprint Cup schedule. I don’t know why the idea of moving it a bit farther down in the schedule didn’t register – but, I’m pretty sure Bruton Smith paid enough money to cause the NASCAR powers-that-be to avoid using reason in determining the 2011 schedule.
