Race three of the 2014 season. The first mile and a half race. Yesterday’s Nationwide Race was boring. Keselowski won. Big whoop. He held off Kyle Busch. Yawn. Joey Logano has the pole for the Cup race. The sky in Vegas is a beautiful blue. The race command was given by ‘the most interesting man in the world’, but since he was introduced by Robin Leach, and his ‘real name’ given, plus he didn’t get to give one of his most interesting gimmicks, the call was rather lame. It seemed a more interesting notion than it turned out to be. Continue reading “2014 NASCAR Sprint Cup Race Three Las Vegas”
2014 NASCAR Sprint Cup Race Two Phoenix
Rain shortened the boring Nationwide Race yesterday which was no big loss. I was okay missing some of KyBu’s domination. There wasn’t a lot of relevant action. Yeah the kids were battling insanely, but they’re rookies and very young. I don’t expect anything else, so its less than thrilling. To me it is the equivalent of watching 8 through 10 year olds battle for an adult’s attention. BOOOOORRRRRIIIINNNNNGGGG!!! The sun is shining in Phoenix today.

2014 NASCAR Sprint Cup Race One Daytona 500
Ugly clouds as the pre-race ceremonies begin for the Daytona 500. At least Michael Waltrip is in a car and not on the desk. Small blessings. Looks like rain to me.
I’m less than excited about this race. Paul Menard said he was going to take care of his car for 490 miles and race the last ten. Well that sounds less than thrilling. Moody spent time during the week trying to convince his listeners that drivers riding around for the majority of the race and racing for the finish was the only reasonable thing to do and therefore a good thing. Oddly I thought the people who bought tickets bought tickets to the Daytona 500 Sprint Cup RACE that is contested by 43 PROFESSIONAL RACE CAR DRIVERS.

2014 NASCAR Sprint Cup Daytona 500 Qualifying Day
After last night’s full moon madness on the track, from the ARCA race to the Sprint Cup Pace Car fire, Sunday has dawned sunny and beautiful. Today the Sprint Cup drivers will set the front row for the Daytona 500. Several drivers had to change engines yesterday (Bobby Labonte, Tony Stewart, and Danica Patrick) they will have to start from the back no matter where they qualify today.
