NASCAR Blues

Nascar

So what have we witnessed in the past two races on the senior NASCAR circuit? A faulty cover on the oil cooler tank that propelled Carl Edwards to victory in Las Vegas and a grumpy Tony Stewart complaining about Goodyear's lousy tires. How can this sport condone cheating? How can it accept the off color comments from a top driver concerning their only tire supplier?

If they really wanted to crack down on the illegal that Carl Edwards drove to victory lane they should take the win away from him and award him 43rd place points. Let them appeal the decision in the NASCAR court, but penalize them to the extent they understand cheating won't be tolerated.

Why does Tony Stewart get to make comments, and personal ones to boot, about any injustice he feels bestowed upon him? Is Goodyear that bad a partner that they deserve such a tongue lashing from this big mouth of the sport? Sometimes taking the high road is the better part of valour and more will come from a considered word than a disparaging one.

But what did we really find out about the last two weeks on NASCAR racing? Kyle Busch is the driver to beat, not only in Cup, but The Nationwide and Truck series as well. This kid has made a fan out of me and I think he will develop into the next great "Dale Earnhardt" type driver; great driver with a big attitude. Keep it up Kyle, NASCAR needs a driver like you, now and in the years to come.
