Woo Hoo!!! Only three more get-ups until we're on our way to the rolling Irish Hills of Brooklyn, Michigan, and the infield at MIS! Can't WAIT! It's a bit rainy here today, but I'm hoping for a dry, clear weekend of racing. Rain or shine, it will be another EPIC weekend for the Bomb Squad!
Congrats to Tony Steward and Stewart-Haas Racing on their first point race victory yesterday at Pocano! They played the fuel mileage game and went "All-In" and it paid off big time for them. Jimmy Johnson and Chad Knaus weren't so fortunate.
In other racing news, I have to touch on this story. The Nationwide series traveled to Nashville this weekend, for the Federated Auto Parts 300. Kyle Busch dominated the race, beating Brad Keselowski and taking the checkered flag. What he did next was something that only a Busch brother would do. He took the Sam Bass designed and painted, Limited Edition Gibson guitar trophy - a trophy that every driver wants to win and put in their trophy case at home - and smashed it into pieces right there in victory lane. Un-freaking-believable. What an ASS! I'm sure that Sam Bass and the folks from the Nashville Superspeedway are pissed. Being an aspiring guitarist myself, I know that I'm pissed. What would possess someone to take a priceless work of art like that, and smash it into bits in front of everyone on national TV?? Here's what it looked like AFTER pinhead was done with it. Like I said, only from a Busch brother. I've never been a big Kyle Busch fan, but now I think I can officially be considered a Kyle hater, and as I mentioned a couple posts ago, he really needs to grow up. I just hope that he gets some backlash from his sponsors about his crybaby tantrums, blowing off of interviews and stupid stunts like the one he pulled Saturday night, because no sponsors equals no ride and no ride equals no money. And it couldn't happen to a more deserving guy!
Enough about Shrubby. Time to get back to packing! See you in a couple days!
Marc.
