The predictable and boring Busch/NASCAR series was given a boost on Saturday!
MOTHER NATURE, in her kind way, bequest the series with RAIN! Not only were the tires there but the ‘powers-that-be’ were wise enough to use WHATEVER they could to enhance a simply boring day!
The race wasn’t scintillating BUT it was novel. Anything improves the status-quo…
We all know that in the world of science, the experts tell us that genes are sometimes passed on in every OTHER generation. Diseases skip generations and even genders. So, Marco, maybe your generation has been skipped – genetically, that is.
It seems that the gene pool has been depleted in the Andretti lineage. Mario, got a huge genetic ‘racing gene,’ Michael, a bit less, Jeff, almost nothing and poor Marco – the benefactor of NONE!
Let’s not be asked to watch Marco create more havoc. Either he hangs it up or gets a pseudonym. Perhaps, he could use the name ‘Patrick!’
Lewis Hamilton was not to be deterred! His will to win. yesterday, went beyond the ‘powers that be’ – including the pace car and lesser-knowns!
Because of him, racing is still exciting. Without Tiger, sports watching has lost its appeal . Thank goodness for HAMILTON
Was that really Cindy McCain in the IndyCar pace car? Will Barack Obama really sponsor a NASCAR? What’s going on here?
Our banks are bankrupt, our wars are more violent, our economy has TANKED and we’re now really running in circles (as in lap after lap after lap)! America has evolved (or is that devolved) into THE LAND OF THE FOOLISH! The rest of the world is watching us disintegrate.
We can only hope that Cindy McCain (and the rest of us) protect ourselves with helmets! Thankfully, the only direction we can go is UP!!
When a supposed professional race car driver can’t make it out of the pits, maybe it’s time to reassess your future? Patrick just does not play well with others! She’s a menace in the pits and a menace on the track. We seem to be forever waiting for the INEVITABLE which is pathetic!
That, in combination with NASCAR’s ‘boy of the week,’ has made racing a painful spectator sport. There’s got to be something better to do with our Sunday’s, no?
Sometimes, looking back is much more enjoyable than looking towards the future. You don’t need a crystal ball to know the future – Wars, economic depression, global warming leading to even more violent weather, shortage of food, tainted food, lethal water, exorbitant gas prices, huge airline ticket fees, corrupt government, a media without a spine, etc., etc., etc…
Maybe we’re distraught because we knew what we had and we pine for what we know could be. We knew QUALITY, PRIDE AND INTEGRITY! Those were the days…
