The Good, the Bad & the Ugly: The Subway Fresh Fit 500

The Good: Mark Martin showing that being the youngest doesn’t mean your the best.  It was so good to see Mark win again, for the first time since Kansas in 2005, seeing all he has done in the last couple of years.  And how cool was it to see all of the people who came to congratulate him in Victory Lane, include the Cat in the Hat Jack Roush.  I wondered what their relationship was given Mark’s retirement and unretirement, and I think that gives us our very positive answer.

And another great run by Tony Stewart.  It’s only a matter of time until he puts his team into victory lane.  Tony is class act, and a racer, and what he has done since taking over at HAAS CNC is nothing short of amazing.

The Bad: Lack of racing action. There just didn’t seem to be a lot of side by side racing last night.  Usually, it happens back in the pack, but it didn’t even seem like that was happening last night.  Even lap traffic was in a line.  This is one thing I know we don’t have to worry about in ‘Dega next week.

The Ugly: Junior.  Another bad pit stop put him back in a pack and he got wreck because of it, but the extracurriculars after the race with Casey Mears was unneccesary.  Yes, Casey wreck him, but it didn’t look intentional and was basically a racing thing.  And good for Casey not taking that crap once the race was over.
