Need to end a drought? Bring NASCAR to town!
News
flash to NASCAR…sundown in Pocono is at 8:29 PM
Race
time of last year's races was 3 hours and 47 minutes
This
year's race started after 5:10pm ET…you do the math!
Nextel
Cup- Dover International Raceway
1. Jeff Gordon
2. Ryan Newman
3. Martin Truex Jr
4. Casey Mears
5. Tony Stewart
6. Denny Hamlin
7. Mark Martin
8. Kyle Busch
9. Matt Kenseth
10. Clint Bowyer
F
for NASCAR
Refund half the ticket money for last night's race
or have Pocono add lights! Starting a race that lasts
on the average 3 hours and 47 minutes with just barely
3 hours of daylight left is a crime!
D
for Dave Blaney
This has been a rough year for this talented driver
since he fell out of the top 35 in points. Sunday at Pocono
it was Dave's bad luck to be in the way when Greg Biffle
lost control of his car. The hits keep on coming for BDR!
C
for Juan Pablo Montoya
Twentieth place is not satisfactory to this past champion
but it wasn't bad for a rookie at Pocono! Grabbing honors
as top rookie this season might not be as impressive as
last year when the rookie crop was much better, but it
still earns Juan a "C" this week!
B
for Jeff Gordon
Battling bad brakes on a track where you need all the
brakes you can get shows just how great Jeff Gordon is
as a driver. Is he the best ever? Probably not but he
does belong in the "Greatest Ever" discussion
and team picture!
A
for Steve Letarte
I wonder if the TODAY SHOW will hire Letarte as a guest
weatherman in the winter? Reading the radar charts (or
tea leaves) Steve Letarte made the right decision on pit
strategy to get Jeff Gordon another win!
