Digger has a family now?

Ok, admittedly, I did not watch every minute of the race, was busy running around in the kitchen for a portion of it and then went to bed early.

Can anyone help me clear up what I thought I saw?? Did Fox actually show multiple rodents coming out of the hole? As in a Digger family? Great, more cartoon rodents to hate.

Kenseth wins...Again

I think Matt's new Crew Chief, Drew Blickensderfer, has brought some life to a team that seemed to have lost it a year or so before Robbie left. I think it is cool to see a Wisconsin boy do good. Good job, Matt! Was happy he held off Gordon, haha.

The race itself was pretty uneventful, read boring... Not a huge fan of that track (I don't know what they call it these days), too wide, too long, too flat. Yeah, it gives you lots of options for lines to run, but, that also means you can get all stretched out. The biggest action seems to be the battles of high-line versus low-line and seeing who gets the better run off a corner or who can slide job who.

Bummer that Harvick's streak of running at the end of every race ended at 81(?). Hendrick engines had some issues with Martin and Junior having valve issues.

I have to admit, I watched the end of the race from bed and was simply wiped out from not getting a good nights sleep the night before and bottling and brewing beer during the day. As much as I could pay attention to the race, I don't recall them mentioning Jeremey Mayfield much. Yeah, I know he was a couple laps down... He's got no big sponsorship that greases FOX's greedy palm, so not much mention of him. Was happy to see that with the late race attrition that he was able to move up 5 spots. I saw he was back in 40th spot and eventually finished at 35th. Now, I am no big Mayfield fan, but the way he is trying to make a go of it with all the money coming out of his pocket, not paying himself a salary, and seemingly fielding his crew with misfits who will work for little or nothing. I say misfit only as a dig against one of his crew members who failed a drug test. haha. That is not a blanket statement covering his entire team. I really hope he can get into the top 35 and stay there, comfortably, all year. Riggs, racing for Tommy Baldwin is another I would like to see do well. As for some of the others, like Nemecheck, Gilliland, and Allmendinger, I could care less. Nemecheck and Gilliland I really can't stand and Allmendinger rubs me wrong and comes off, to me, as an arrogant punk... Any one of them can finish 41, 42, and 43 every week for all I care.

On to Vegas. I actually got to do a couple laps around that track in a rental car when I attended the VMWorld party in 2008 at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. That was fun! Andretti school instructors took us around the track in all kinds of decent cars with top speeds of about 100. Not like a real Richard Petty experience or anything, but still very cool. Especially when yer all hammered!! haha.

I still can't stand that effen Digger rodent that FOX insists on showing! Horrifying, that is all I can say! I wanna get an anti Digger website, haha, any ideas??

Richmond - The Waltrip brothers are some serious BITCHES!

This track is so cool! Love the racing there! Ok, so why doesn't my title say "Busch Dumps Junior"? I don't see the big deal about it, really... They were in a really tight battle and EACH of them could have given the other more room. As the saying goes, 8 tires turns better than 4, and Junior being on the outside got the worst of it. It is what it is, Junior fans, get over yourselves. :)

Now, for the Waltrip assholes... First, why am I lumping DW into this and not just going after Michael for his stupid ass wreck of Mears? Simple, entirely based on his pre-race comments where he was applauding Kyle Busch for not using his car to retaliate and go after Wallace after the two tangled in the closing laps of the Nationwide race. Then, when his stupid ass brother uses his car as a battering ram and plows Mears down the entire straightaway and into the wall, he doesn't say an effen thing about it. Come on DW, call out your stupid effen brother for the no-talent-hack that he is!! Why not say, "Mikey shouldn't have been battling Mears as Mikey is down more laps than Casey, he should have just let him go, instead of sticking it in a hole that really wasn't there". But no, DW's silence was golden, further proving that he is a no-talen hack of a broadcaster. I sincerely hope the park Waltrip for at least a week for that. Totally uncalled for.

What the hell happened to Harvick? He was in 6th on the final lap and wound up in 8th... And he had fresh tires!
