Martinsville
Let me start this post by saying, "Martinsville was just about all I hoped it would be and more!" Except the ending! As an Earnhardt fan, I would be lying to you if I said I wasn't dissapointed with the end result. I'll be honest and confess I turn into some naive big kid when I see my team dominate in a race as they did in Martinsville! I just want that magical ending to finish it off!
Texas
Gang, what a year this is that I could find myself dissapointed with 6th place! It feels good to be on a winning team! How Ironic would it be if Earnhardt won his first race with Hendrick Motorsports at Texas!? I think it would almost freak me out, to tell you the truth. Folks, it might just happen! Then we would be saying first Nationwide (Busch) win, first cup win, and first win for Hendrick all summed up in one word, Texas!Kyle, AKA Rowdy, needs to watch out for the ol black ice, b/c I think he has just hit it twice! I wasn't going to pick on the kid, but I can't help but comment! I (please no stones) actually always liked Fox and am actually a DW fan, but he always seems to have a new pet, which soon becomes the Fox sports pet! I have a previous article, The Dale Earnhardt driver of the year award, which talks about one trophy, but now I have an idea for another! The DW Pet of the year award! One year it would have been Kurt, another year Carl, and of course Jimmie would have won as well. All good drivers and deserving of praise! If someone is talented, winning, a champion and running up front every week, they deserve to get talked about, but it can get ran into the ground. Folks, poor Kyle has been run into the ground to the point of causing nausea! The kid is talented and can drive a real loose race car (one week he is the next Richmond and the other the next Earnhardt), but this isn't the Drifting Motorsports series! Plus, he just bit the dust twice (nationwide @ Nashville/ Truck @ Martinsville), so enough is enough!
My final rant was going to be on General Mills and RCR, along with all the Bobby Labonte rumors, but I just ran into a Blog that sums it up better than anybody! Yeah, this last section is now a plug! He is a fellow Earnhardt fan with his own blog, who writes with Espn like quality! He is Jimmy C and his blog is Jimmy C's Nascar! Check out his site, b/c I promise you as a Nascar fan you won't regret it! Anyways, he has several articles from different angles on the breaking RCR/General Mills news, but my favorite was, Bobby Labonte to RCR in 2009?
