A Tale of Two Cities
I’m not Charles Dickens but here goes: It truly seemed as if the best and worst of times happened in motorsports this weekend.
With Richmond you had the end of the long shot as Junior ran as quickly as he could but just didn’t have an engine that could do likewise. But that’s alright, now he can be free of the pressure to get into the Chase and just drive to win (I know, I know; he does that already).
Crossing state lines to the Paris (or is it London) portion of this story I actually watched the IndyCar Series race from Chicagoland (Wow a whopping 22 car field if I remember correctly).Wait I lied; I only watched the last half …
So, while not NASCAR, we saw the best of times for soon to be NASCAR man Dario F. while Scott Dixon must have just felt crushed. Of course we have intrigue as well (what good story doesn’t have a plot twist) as Danica P. mysteriously spun out with just a few laps to go. I say mysteriously as it was on pit road and apparently has happened before. Did someone say:” Conspiracy” boys and girls? (NOT ME).
Well, I guess that’s just racin as we say in the South.
Can’t wait for more mergers, new drivers, and the 08 season.
After all, it is a far, far better thing…
