What an awesome year 2011 was in NASCAR and I for one loved the way it
ended. Don't get me wrong I could have gone either way with the winner
being Tony Stewart as it was or Cousin Carl Edwards. But the way it
ended was almost and I hope it wasn't...scripted. I'm mean you go from
Stewart a guy that's just above average at best through the season
doubting himself whether or not he should be in the Chase. To the same
guy not only winning 5 of the 10 Chase races but even at Homestead
itself coming back from 40th to Win the Race and Championship was
amazing. So congratulations to SHR and the whole #14 Tony Stewart Office
Depot Team. I called it right when I said Champions know how to be
Champions.
Ole Cousin Carl was about as close to winning [and when I say close I
mean not even 1 Point behind the Winner] but alas no Back Flip. Will he
have what it take to grab that Championship Brass Ring next year is the
biggest question and I'm gonna say he does but this year was his best
chance. Ask Denny Hamlin about getting a 2nd Chance and he'll tell you
he should have grabbed it when he was close. Carl has a good team in
place and if he has a good year next year I say he could possibly be the
NASCAR Sprint Cup Champion in 2012.
Now the Burning Busch with Kurt Busch getting FIRED from Penske for well
being a Jerk but not a Tasty Jerk like a Beef Jerk. The kind of Jerk
that bites and bites the hands that feed him. Being a part of NASCAR is
a rare and privileged honor and it comes with some responsibilities. One
of those is give the Media and we Fans Interviews and some of their time
because, that is what the Sport is about THE FANS. When I watched the
home video of Kurt Busch Mother F'ing Dr. Jerry an ESPN Pit Reporter to
the point Jerry said "Forget it" and walked away I was embarrassed. I
was embarrassed for Jerry, for Kurt, Penske, NASCAR and myself because
outside people already think NASCAR is a bunch of Jerk Rednecks and
Busch just proved them right. Kurt I know yer reading this and
well...possibly getting MAD but you need to tighten up son. Sure you can
Drive but where now? Who wants you on their Team? Well some Team that
wants that "Past Champion" status so you and their crappy car and get in
the race without being fast enough to qualify in. Good luck with that.
Learn from this and yes you will be a much better Driver and I hope you
do Sir.
That's my Blog and I'm sticking with it folks!
peace
