The Good, the Bad & the Ugly: The Samsung 500

The Good: Jeff Gordon breaking a 47 race winless streak at the only track he’s ever finished last at.  The bottom line, weather you like Gordon or not, he’s a hell of a driver and, to echo the thoughts of ESPN reporter Marty Smith, having Gordon winning is good for the support and makes great rivals.  Let’s be honest, it’s as much fun to cheer for someone as it is against them (i.e. Kyle Busch, who I happen to cheer for).

The Bad: See above!!!

The Ugly: Carl Edwards final pit stop cost him a shot at winning the race.  I’m not sure what happened, but you could see how ticked off Carl was about it.  This just reinforces how much of a team sport racing really is.
