Just because...
...it's been so long since I've actually wanted to talk about a NASCAR race. *flails* I've been frustrated with how poorly Junior has run this season and all the talk of Shrub (and other drivers I'm not going to mention), to the point that I've refused to watch ANY pre-race coverage (which I used to watch all Sunday morning until the race started).
I love Talladega. I always have and I always will...unless they change rules/set ups/whatever. If that happens, I won't be happy.
It was just awesome, AWESOME, seeing Junior running up front for most of the race. How long has it been since that happened? And not only that, it seemed like people were willing to work with Junior. For the past few years, it seemed that no one would work with him because he had once dominated the track, but FINALLY - he had some help and he had a good car. Good job, Tony Jr.
I would be a lot happier if he had won, but at this point, with the way his season has gone - I'm so happy he finished second. Not only that, he finished second to Brad, his protege. Unbelievable.
