Congratulations to Casey Mears on his breakthrough first career win at the Cup level. It was nice to finally see him in victory lane and see someone who really appreciates what it means to finally win a race. It was especially fitting that his sponsor be The National Guard on the Memorial Day weekend. It was the right call to leave him out on the track and take the chance that he would not run empty. There are usually two or three races during the season where the winner is determined by fuel mileage and not who has the fastest car. Casey was the first to admit that he had a fourth or fifth place car and rolling the dice was the only call to make and it paid off big time.
The same decision to stay out at the end also paid off for JJ Yeley, Kyle Petty and Ricky Rudd as each of them placed in the top five. Again, happy to see some new faces at the top of the leader board at the end of a race. You have to feel good for Kyle and Ricky as these two veterans of the sport needed a strong finish as did Yeley who needs to show better if he wants to keep his ride at Joe Gibbs Racing. But congrats again to Casey Mears as I feel this will be the first of more wins for him as he finally has a strong team backing the talent that he showed in previous years.
