CARL EDWARDS' BANZAI ATTEMPT…IN THE FINAL TURN TO SNATCH THE WIN FROM JIMMIE JOHNSON PROVIDED THE ONLY RACING ACTION…IN THE 3RD ROUND OF THE…CUP CHASE…WORTH COMMENTING ON…
UNTIL THAT…ONE BRIEF
MOMENT…THIS SHOW WAS A CRAP-FEST TRIFECTA…COMPLETE WITH CRAPPY BROADCAST
COVERAGE…AT A CRAPPY…RACETRACK…OF A…CRAPPY RACE AND...OH DID WE MENTION
CRAPPY BROADCAST COVERAGE PROVIDED BY ESPN’S SIX-PACK OF NASCAR LAPDOG
CRAP-TASTERS FROM ESPN???
TO USE A…KRUSTY WALLACE-ISM…THIS…SUCKER… SUCKED… BEGINNING WITH THE DELAYED
START TO
ALLOW A DRIVER TO CHANGE A TACHOMETER…AND NEVER GOT ANY BETTER…
AND WE HAVE TO ASK…WHEN…IN THE HISTORY OF RACING…AT THIS LEVEL…DID A RACE START GET PUSHED BACK TO ACCOMMODATE AN EQUIPMENT PROBLEM FOR ONE OF THE STARTERS???
WE’VE NOT SEEN THIS BEFORE…AND
WANT TO KNOW WHERE THIS CRAP…CAME FROM???...BUT THEN AT THE

THE ANSWER… WHICH IS…"WHO YA’ GONNA’ BELIEVE???…NASCAR? …OR YOUR OWN LYIN’
EYES?"

RACETEMBER 22, 2008 - ON THE…HIGH CONCRETE BANKS…OF
DOVER…
ROUND # 2 OF 10…
ROUND # 2 OF THE…CHAMPIONSHIP
FIGHT WAS...POSSIBLY THE BEST NASCAR RACE …IN MEMORY AND…ALL
THE CREDIT…IS DUE TO THE TRIO OF…ROUSH RACING TEAMS…AND DRIVERS… GREG BIFFLE…
MATT KENSETH AND…CARL EDWARDS…
THE FINAL 100 LAPS OF THE
DOVER AFFAIR…WAS A CLASSIC… NOSE TO TAIL…DOOR TO DOOR BATTLE AMONG TEAMMATES
…THAT OCCURRED…ON THE TRACK…AND IN THE PITS…AND ANYONE WHO SAW IT…
AND HAD A PULSE…HAD TO BE IMPRESSED…
IF IT WAS THE 1ST
RACE A PERSON EVER WATCHED…THEY WOULD INSTANTLY KNOW WHY THE FANS LOVE
THIS SPORT…
HOWEVER…THAT SAME PERSON…WHO
SAW THEIR 1ST RACE… WOULD BE COMPLETELY CONFUSED AS TO
HOW NASCAR… AWARDS POINTS…IN THIS…"CONTRIVED CHAMPIONSHIP"…
ESPECIALLY AFTER HEARING THE…T.V.
TALKING HEADS…FOCUS ON…"IF THE RACE ENDED NOW… DRIVER
"A" WOULD BE THE POINT LEADER"…
WELL…THAT "NEW" FAN…BEING
AWARE THAT GREG BIFFLE …HAS WON THE ONLY TWO RACES IN THE CHAMPIONSHIP CHASE
…WOULD BE ABSOLUTELY CONFUSED TO LEARN THAT…IF THE SEASON ENDED
"NOW" BIFFLE…THE WINNER OF THE ONLY TWO RACES RUN…WOULD BE SCORED…3RD…BEHIND…NON-RACE
WINNERS CARL EDWARDS…AND...JIMMIE JOHNSON…
AND THIS IS PRECISELY THE
PROBLEM WITH THIS "CHASE"…THE SERIES RUNS MORE THAN 2/3’S OF THEIR
SCHEDULE…AND THEN DECIDES TO AWARD THE CHAMPIONSHIP FOR PERFORMANCE IN ONLY 10
(LESS THAN
1/3) OF THE SCHEDULED EVENTS…AND EVEN IF YOU WIN THE MOST RACES…YOU STILL
AREN’T GUARANTEED
THAT YOU’LL BE THE CHAMP…
GO FIGURE…THEY
HEAD TO KANSAS FOR ROUND 3…OF 10…OF THIS CONTRIVED…CHAMPION SELECTING PROCESS…

- RICHMOND
THE…LAST SHOT…TO MAKE THE PLAYOFFS
"JIMMIE JOHNSON…GOT OUT OF THE PITS JUST AHEAD OF…TONY STEWART…WITH 104 LAPS REMAING IN THE 400 LAPPER…AND NEVER LOOKED BACK AS HE CRUISED TO A 3 SECOND WIN AND SERVED NOTICE THAT HE IS THE DRIVER TO BEAT…AS HE PURSUES …BACK- TO BACK TITLES IN THE NASCAR CUP SERIES"
THAT IS WHAT WE REPORTED…FOLLOWING…LAST YEAR’S… RICHMOND RACE…
ON SUNDAY…JIMMIE JOHNSON…BEAT…TONY STEWART OUT OF THE PITS…WITH…32 LAPS REMINING…AND STAYED OUT FRONT… TO PICK UP HIS…4TH…WIN OF THE SEASON…AS HE PURSUES… BACK…TO BACK…TO BACK…TITLES…IN THE NASCAR CUP SERIES…
NUFF’ SAID…REGARDING RICHMOND...BUT KYLE BUSCH…CARL EDWARDS AND PROBABLY TONY…WILL BE MAKING JOHNSON WORK…EXTRA HARD…THIS…"CHASE SEASON"…IF HE WANTS TO MAKE IT A …THREE-PEAT…
BEYOND THAT…IT WAS A PRETTY TYPICAL…RICHMOND AFFAIR AND A LOOK AT THE "CHASERS" AS THE REAL...POINT RACIN’…SEASON… COMMENCES NEXT WEEKEND…IN…NEW HAMPSHIRE…
