GBU: The Autism Speaks 400 from Dover
The Good: A tremendous race from start to finish. The final 10 laps were amazing, first watching Tony Stewart catch Greg Biffle, and the Jimmie Johnson catch them both to take the win. Tremendous racing. Also, Dover’s new pit road debuted to what can only be called a tremendous success. Dover is basically my home track, and it’s great to see all of the improvements they have made to the facility of the past few years. If you get a chance to see one race a year, go to Dover and site between turns 3 and 4. You can see everything!
The Bad: The continuing struggles of Richard Childress racing. Even though they had three cars in the top 20 (Clint Bowyer finished 11th, Jeff Burton 16th and Kevin Harvick 17th), this has been one of RCR’s best tracks over the past several seasons. If a rebound was going to start, you would have thought it would have started this past weekend. After having three drivers in the Chase the past several years, RCR will probably only have one. You have to wonder if this was the result of going to four teams?
The Ugly: An early caution coming in the middle of green flag pit stops putting a bunch of good cars down a lap or more. You have to wonder if Biffle used up some of his stuff early in the race getting his lap back, which may have lead to Johnson being able to catch him in the closing laps.
