NASCAR could vanish off the face of the earth tomorrow and I wouldn't bat an eye.

I wish Gibbs Racing the best, but that's about it.

Yep, I agree...or at least I used to feel that way until today. The whole pothole fiasco was a bummer thus forcing me to consume more adult beverages than originally planned while waiting for the NASCAR "public works" crew to repair the damn thing!

However, I do like the new rules that have allowed the drivers to be more aggresive and toss corporate diplomacy out the hood scoop. And what a finish tonight? That looked like Dale Sr. plowing through the field to come from back in the pack to almost win this marathon. Maybe I'm in the minority here, but I was very pleased to see a very exciting finish after a very long wait.
