Re: NASCAR - Fontana
I thought it was a great race, the banging all around the track reminded me of Cale Yarborough and Donnie Allison in 1979
NASCAR - The Infamous Fistfight - Daytona 500 1979 - YouTube
This was one of those moments in NASCAR history that's regarded as a turning point, the entire east coast was enduring a blizzard and the Daytona 500 was watched by more new fans then ever, NASCAR's popularity exploded, i think this rivalry will bring back those old feelings and NASACAR will be more popular then ever.
To me the last lap was nothing less then what you will see at any home track, two guys fighting for the win with so much drive that they are not willing to settle for second place, first or nothing and that is what I love about racing, second place is the first loser. I have more respect for Logano now then I did Friday, I like seeing him grow, and I can honestly say I am becoming a fan of his, calling him a rich punk is just BS what is he supposed to do not take advantage of the cards he has been dealt? I am a Smoke fan, I have always been I feel he is one of the most talented drivers out there and he is also one of the smartest and I think he is smart like a fox just like my favorite driver Dale Earnhardt, who saw the talent of a up and coming California driver named Jeff Gordon, Dale used the opportunity to make himself into an icon the likes of which NASCAR hasn't seen, and not to many knew what was going on.
What everyone found out later was just how much NASCAR needs a bad guy, and NASCAR fans don't care if their driver is the bad guy either not one bit, the last lap of Fontana may go down as one of those epic laps in NASCAR history, What a great race!
I don't see it as Hamlin should have won it because of this or that or Logano deserved to get punted or smoke was a blowhard, its racing and what happened was Logano and Hamlin were not willing to take second to the other, Smoke was not willing to punt Logano, Kyle found that even though he didn't have the car at the end he had enough car to stay in the mix and took full advantage when Hamlin/Logano took each other out, Dale Earnhardt Junior found himself in better position then he ever thought possible and Kurt Busch is winning me as a fan and possibly the driver that can take Furniture Row Racing to the top, and I am losing the bad taste in my mouth when I say that I am becoming a Kurt Busch fan too.
I sure hope Hamlin will be ok, I don't think this rivalry is over by any stretch, but the last thing I want to see is anyone get seriously hurt. QC you are one lucky dog!! Lucky to get a good race to see in person, but to get to see that last lap too, what a bonus!!

Probably will miss a bunch of live races this summer if the weather is good. Our summers are short enough as it is, so I'll be enjoying the outdoors rather than sitting behind the tube for 3/4 hours. The bad thing is, I can't participate in the threads!
