Great day at Atl. Motor Speedway yesterday. About the same size
crowd as last year. Xfinity put on a good show with the
Cup guys dominating up front. Lots of local guys to keep
up with so that was fun. First time Kyle Busch as ever won at
Atl. in anything so good for him.
Truck race really ended up being the better show. The race was
fairly straight forward till about 20 to go. The leaders were involved
in vicious crash on the back straight. That set up a chance for
some rookies to get there first win. With about 7 or 8 to go
the right front blew on the leader in turn 4 and he hit the
wall with a mighty BOOM! The loudest I have ever heard at any track.
This is the same driver who did 10 barrel rolls at the finish of the Daytona race just a week ago. Hopefully his luck will change soon. 18 year oldJohn Hunter Nemechek got the win for his career second. Youngest winner ever at Atlanta.
With Atlanta's 3 wide grooves to choose from for drivers, it
can lead to some lengthy green flag runs which means boredom.
Hopefully that will be offset by some 3 wide racing and a little
bit of beaten and banging. Thank goodness for a nice day for the race!
