NASCAR

I guess NASCAR needs a warm place to run this time of year and I’m sure it’s revenue generator, but the races at California Speedway are real yawners. Today’s anti-climatic finish was brought to you by Roush Racing, who da guessed. Nearly spoiling #17 Matt Kenseth’s coast to a win was #29 Kevin Harvick, winner of last weeks Daytona 500. I sat back down to watch the last 15 laps, Harvick was a second behind Kenseth and with 10 laps to go was closing fast. What makes racing exciting for me was not to happen today, #00 David Reutimann was hit from behind, sliding up into the safer barrier wall at 150 MPH took what he described as the hardest hit he’s ever taking. This event stopped the race while workers cleared the track; evidently, not good enough as the race started Harvick was forced to pit with a flat left front tire, Kenseth was able to get a good restart and easily took the checkered flag. Harvick was able to come back out finishing 17th. Well that’s racing folks.
