OK, I just finished watching the Bud Shootout and I want to kill Kyle Busch. The way he was racing out there... he was bound to kill someone or something. Refer to Oct. 2004 post why I hate this kid.
Dad likes Carl Edwards. Did ya know that Carl isn't afraid of NASCAR? Well, he got into trouble a couple of times to the point he was about to avoid a wreck during green flag pit stops. NASCAR black flagged him and he had to do a drive thru penalty. He said NO flatly. Go Carl!
Anyway, Junior finished 2nd or was it 3rd? It was too close to tell when him and Smoke are banging into one another. TV says 2nd. I'll say second. I'll tell ya later who won. ;)
Bump drafting is more like slam drafting No more tributes, please.
Some JR love with quotes:
From the post-race report:
With the checkered flag waving, Dale Jr. was unsure of his finish:
Dale Jr.: “I beat him (Stewart), didn’t I? Did I beat the 20?”
Tony Jr.: “Yessir, and that’s a good omen. We finished second in the Shootout the time we won the 500.”
JR's plan on how to win the Gatorade Duels:
HOW DO YOU PLAN TO RACE IN THE 150? "To the front. Get the trophy. That's the plan."
HOW DO YOU DO THAT? "Just haul butt and pass people. We've got a fast car. The car is there, you know, we've just got to get some good pit stops and make no mistakes, we can pass them all on the race track. That's no problem."
Ok, now for the winner
#11 Denny Hamlin. Didn't I say watch out for him? Told ya. Great job, rookie!
In other news...
Eh, DEI was in the 30's during qualifying but all of 'em are all racing together in the race 1 of the Gatorade Duels. I have strong confidence in JR and Martin just needs to believe in his car.
Chad Knaus cheats again. That's all Hendrick teams know how to do. Two blown engines already. Woot!
I got my JR shirt yesterday. Looks sweet and very clean looking.
