No Words for JPM:
It’s impressive that no one has had “words” with Juan Pablo Montoya (JPM) during or after a race. This talented no talent has caused many problems and will continue to do so until someone
puts him in his place. Add JPM to Kevin Harvick’s hit list.
Wide Open Coverage:
The coverage was impressive, they had more commercials than expected, but over
all it was good. Fans did not miss anything that happened during the race. However it was not revolutionary, ESPN asked to do the same thing with their Side-by-Side
coverage; I guess they did not throw enough money at NASCAR to do so.
Unimpressive:
Jeff Gordon, Jimmie
Johnson, Casey Mears: The childish teammates at Hendrick Motorsports
(HMS) Gordon, Johnson and Mears. By hanging out the best car HMS had on the track and possibly of the race (Kyle Busch). Then Jeff Gordon did not even bother speaking to Busch, when he tried to congratulate
Gordon on a good race. That just shows his true colors. That might come back to bite him because Busch is a loose cannon and if you want to play dirty; he will
be more than obliged. Besides your teammate coming next year has half the talent
that Kyle Busch has.
Teammate Turmoil Part
Two: Tony Stewart and Denny Hamlin had their first run in that we know
of. This he said/she said better be squashed on Monday because they need to work
together if they want to beat the Hendrick Trio. The video says a lot and then it says nothing, Stewart ran into the
back of Hamlin, but Hamlin’s speed seemed to be off at the time of impact. You
make the call…
NASCAR: Yes they seem to be a weekly fixture on the unimpressive list. It’s ok for your title sponsor to change its name from
Nextel to Sprint, Nextel and Sprint merged. And now Sprint is the new company name but not ok for other companies to do the
same.
