One of the downsides of the Busch guys and the Cup guys running at different tracks, is the networks give us the ‘B’ team to call the Busch race. Tonight, this happens to be the team that normally calls the truck races and they keep calling the cars…..trucks. It’s very irritating.

Oh yeah, and this race sucks! Johnny Sauter is leading and can’t stand this moran. The nit-wit spun out a car just to bring out the caution so he could be the only car on the leas lap. However it doesn’t surprise me one bit, that is his style. At least Nascar penalized him for it

Oh this is just great, caution is out now because of rain and Johhny is still in the lead. Ugh!

The Busch guys are racing in Milwaukee tonight, and I had the opportunity to go, but it wasn’t meant to be I guess. My wife works weekends and all the babysitters are out of town.

I don’t mind so much really, the weather has been too hot for my taste. I will enjoy watching it on the tube with my kids.

Could this possibly be one of the most un-exciting seasons in Nascar history? Of course I always feel like that after a Michigan race. Yawn…..

But it just seems like a broken record every week. Newman on the pole and Biffle wins.

I consider myself to be a fairly big Nascar fan, but with all the other crap in my life I find it hard to keep up with all the goings on of Nascar. Meaning the things outside of the actual races.

Now, if you’ve been following the Busch series this year(something I’ve been fairly able to do), you’ll know that Shane Hmiel has been somewhat in the spotlight more than once and not the good spotlight.

I really have nothing against Hmiel, but I’ve been unimpressed by his over-aggressive style and lack of respect he was showing his fellow racers. Well today while reading some stuff on NOL, I see that Hmiel has been suspended …again… for substance abuse. Maybe this really explains a lot. However this is his second time, and I feel it’s time for Nascar to basically ban him from the sport, or at least all their series. There’s no room for this, or the attitude he’s been sporting all season. It’s too bad, because he has talent and he was just wasting it away.

Kasey Kahne scores his first Nextel Cup win at Richmond. Everyone knew it was just a matter of time.

There’s reasons I like the Talladega race and there are reasons I don’t like it. I think it provides some of the best racing, but along with comes the stress of knowing that a huge multi-car wreck is just waiting to happen, And it’s not a matter of ‘if’ it’s a matter of when.

I thought yesterdays Busch race was pretty exciting even though there were two big wrecks, one involing Casey Mears going down a long stretch of the front straight away on his roof. Pretty scary stuff.

We’re about a half hour away from pre-race and I can’t wait.

Just checked the current Cup standings at Nascar.com, and to my dismay, Kurt Busch(last years champ(and I use that term as loosely as possible)) is our current points leader. And there’s only 24 more races before the ‘Chase’ kicks off.

Of course we’ve only run 2 races so far, so maybe I’m jumping the gun just a little! :)

How about that Mark Martin, though? 2 good races, 3rd in points. He is who I would like to see win the championship this year. He’s just a cool guy. It was fun watching the Busch race where we won. But how about that rain delay and the grocery bag of food he got to eat. Too funny!

Now they’re just like every other sport where the best team doesn’t always win the championship, only the luckiest. This has been a defining moment for my passion in the sport.
