Martinsville Results

Good race to watch this week. With the threatening weather around the half-way mark, I felt like I watched two finishes. I spent quite a bit of time flipping between hoops and the race this afternoon. As a matter of fact, Stephan Curry is on pace for another 30 point game. Gotta love the Cinderella story.

Between Michael Waltrip, Robby Gordon, and Matt Kenseth it was like a freaking demo derby today. I loved the wrecked 55 turning laps all afternoon with the hood pushed in. Nothing is quite like short track racing.

I am, however, tired of Denny Hamlin. He has 4 wins in 3 years. That's great. He drives real hard all the time. That's also great. What he is missing is a soul. I believe if you can get a glimpse of Satan's business records, you will find a line item reading something like "Hamlin, Denny - 1 soul, 2004, in exchange for making him the slow cousin of NASCAR." Goofball.

Also, I know everyone was critical of Michael McDowell after he raced the leaders at the end and possible kept the 31 from challenging for a win. I agree, but go easy on the guy. He's the spokeman for ASR'08, so he can't be all that bad.
