More Musings NASCAR Louden, NH Vickers, Gordon, harvick

Well, in all fairness, today it was reported that the info about Harvick and Burton's tires being fixed to depressurize was false. That was according to NASCAR and Richard Childress Racing. I hope that is the truth, and I will accept it as such for now. Also I am still steaming over Jeff Gordon telling Brian Vickers not to race him or pass him because he, Jeff, was in the Chase. I want 43 drivers to race, and I wanted Brian to win his first race yesterday. He might not have as he faded a little near the end, but boy that would have been great. I really felt for him, though. And it definitely validated for me why he is leaving the Hendrick organization (not that I had not understood earlier). It will be interesting to see how Casey Mears fares at Hendrick next year. I cannot wait to see how the Toyotas run. And I hope, Honda comes over, too, if Toyota succeeds. And I still have great admiration for Jeff Gordon's career. He seemed very competitive yesterday, and I did like the way he drove except for his radio comments about Vickers. Of course, I would love to have heard his reaction to Johnson and Busch' runs yesterday. I read the Penske log today. My heart aches for Kurt and Ryan. I hope changes are coming soon before it is too late to get a good jump on next year. I cannot believe the jack fell again on the 2 team. I am thrilled that Penske Racing won the IRL Championship, but I hope now more attention gets paid to the 2 and 12 teams. I look forward to seeing the 2 and 12 draft at Talladega. I may go. Still on the fence about going to Dover. Watching the weather. Will decide tomorrow or Wednesday. Just also want to comment how much I enjoyed Speed's "7 Days" segment on Nascar writer, Marty Smith. If you did not catch it-try to do so. Stay tuned.
