Congrats to  Tony Stewart for getting TWO firsts this week! His first win of the 2008 season AND his first win at Talladega! W00T!

I haven’t been posting the past few weeks because frankly, every week has just been a big disappointment as far as the races go. I’m hoping that now that Tony’s finally gotten himself a win, things will get better. Look for a new theme soon.

And as far as that thing with Regan Smith  - ok - if you’re forced down there and have no recourse but to pass to get back on the track, that’s one thing, but when you go down there to pass - and don’t tell me you were forced, I saw the video several times - you went down there ON PURPOSE. You could have dropped back a bit and stayed where you were. Instead when Tony blocked you, you chose to drop past the yellow line and then claim you were forced when they took the race away from you. Besides, why would the rules change for the last lap? That’s when you’d have every car going to the out of bounds area to try and pass to get a better position. It just doesn’t work that way. Sorry.

I hope Denny Hamlin is all right. No updates were given on how he was after they said he’d been taken to a hospital in Birmingham. Reports on FoxSports.com stated he was complaining of a headache and favoring his right foot.

Congrats to the members of Elliott Sadler’s team on their new children. Wow…two sets of twins! And congrats to Casey Mears, who’s girlfriend at last I heard was at the very least in labor.

On his SIXTH Sprint Cup Series win this season! Awesome job! Stupid me thought the race was today, so I was quite shocked when I got in the car after work last night and my best friend had the race on the radio! This is what Charity gets for not paying attention to the schedule! LOL

It kind of sucked that Tony was sick though. At least he got to do part of the race and get his driver points, and Yeley didn’t get him too bad of a finish, although FoxSports and NASCAR’s websites had differing opinions of who got what spot at the end of the race!

Another congrats to Denny Hamlin for winning the Nationwide Series race and to Joe Gibbs Racing for the 13th win in 18 Nationwide races. JGR’s Nationwide program is kicking major ass this year - as it should!

Oh yeah - and congrats to Elliott Sadler who my best friend informed me got engaged sometime this past weekend. They were talking about it during the race I guess.

And I apologize for having neglected this blog. I’ve been having a few “issues” lately and have been dealing with them instead of blogging here. I hope to be back to my normal schedule soon.
