Obviously from the lack of NASCAR posts here Griz hans are too highbrow for NASCAR talk, but who watched the race today, and what did you think?
My thoughts:
1) The old Tony Stewart is back. how can you wreck a guy for taking the air off your car, then not admit some culpability? I'm looking for Tony to be suspended at some point this year for anger management issues, except his sponsor will buy his way out. IMO Stewart should have been packed after intentionally wrecking Kennseth - Stewart's defense? He took the air of my door so he got what was coming to him. Road rage is rewarded (as long as your sponsor will put big $$$ in NASCAR's pockets)
2) I was impressed with Junior's maturity after the race. I think he has made a lot of progress, and as much as I don't want to like him I do.
3) I'm a conspiracy theorist all the way, but after watching the whole week of pre-race coverage I thought we were seeing NF:/Pittsburgh all the way - the fact that Jr. or Gordon didn't win it after the pre-race hype was amazing - but then again, a Hendricks car did win with a crew chief who had been suspended for cheating(LOWE'S no less) so conspiracy is still in full effect.
4) Carl Edwards and Kyle Petty showed more class than I can ever remember in NASCAR. Carl for taking responsibility for wrecking Kyle, Kyle for saying it wasn't his fault. Taking that responsibility might not win championships, but it makes you a champion in my book.
