Once again Talledega proved why it is such a fun race to watch. Nothing like seeing 43 racing around a 2.66 mile track at over 190 MPH all within a few seconds of each other 3 wide.
Of course other then waiting for the “big one” and the last few laps the racing has a tendency to get boring. I stepped away for a few minutes to burn a DVD and wouldnt you know it I missed the “big one”. Got back in time for the replays though.
If you want to know how to play the Dega game look no further then Jeff Gordon. He ran in the back of the pack all day and only led one lap, matter of fact he did not even really lead a full lap but he crossed the finish line first and that is all that matters. Wonder if he gets 5 bonus points for that?
Someone at work won some tickets to the qualifying at AMS at the end of the month. They gave them to me and I tried to get the day off but was not able to get it so I passed them off to another race fan. I probably could have still gone since the cup qualifying does not start till 7:30 but I have a bowling league on Friday nights so I have to partake in that. I am thinking of going to the truck race on Saturday though.
