GBU: The Sprint AllStar Race!

The Good: Credit NASCAR with going back to the final 10 lap segment.  That was some of the most exciting racing there’s been all season.  A big congrats to Tony Stewart.  He did what he’s been doing all season, putting himself into position to win races, and it was finally his turn.  It was also great seeing Ryan Newman waiting for him in Victory Lane.  You can tell that they are both enjoying themselves and have become great teammates.  I think bot of the can win championships with Stewart-Haas.

The Bad: I really thought the race was kind of boring until the last segment.  It seems that on these intermediate tracks the if you get up front you can drive a way from the pack for a while.

RCR also had a dismal night.  It really seems that the Childress program is in big trouble and needs to make a bunch more changes.  It’s really surprising since they have been so good for the past couple of seasons.  The good news is they still have several drivers in Chase contention, so they shouldn’t panic too much.

The Ugly: Well, it really wasn’t very ugly unless you hate Kyle Busch, but the way he passed on the outside time and time again was amazing.  I’ve said it before  and will say it again, the man can just wheel!  What was ugly was the number of people online blaming Kyle Busch for the wreck that took out Jeff Gordon.  There really was no blame there, just three cars running where there’s only room for two, and anyone who really understands racing knows that those where three guys running for a million bucks, so non of them were going to give an inch.
