currently after Martinsville. His wheelhouse are the road courses so he may get a win there. One point separates Elliott and Blaney. Real good rookie points battle this year. |

Yes, this is the best rookie of the year battle in years! Both Elliott and Blaney will win, I believe, before the season is over. A toss up, as to who will take ROTY! |

Sounds like Smoke still has a while to get back behind the wheel. Wonder if he'll accept this ending to his NASCAR career or if he'll come back for an attempt at full season swan song:

Bristol weekend. There used to be tons of excitement, even here....
The Cousin nabs the pole according to Jayski. I may tune in for a bit. I may not. Beautiful weekend, tons of racing. |

I'll watch, I always do. It's born and bred into me, being an old Southerner. I was brought up a NASCAR (and other stock car series) fan. It runs in my blood. This is why the older NASCAR fans are so loyal to NASCAR, why, back in the Old South (by Old South, I am talking about pre-1975 time frame, before the time that all the changes were made, mass urbanization, big-city attitudes, increased migration from other areas of the country, etc., were made, that changed (unfortunately for us old-timers ) the South forever, from the simpler life, to the complicated non-stop, never slow down whirlwind that it has become today) we ate, slept and breathed NASCAR! It was (and forever remains, for us old Southerners) OUR sport! |

It's not OUR sport anymore. It's a full on national series, hence why The Rock and North Wilkesboro are as good as dead and there's only one race at AMS and Darlington and two in Phoenix. Maybe NASCAR will buy The Rock:

Whew! Never thought I would say his, but got too
bored with the Bristol Xfinity race. So outside I go for a bit of garage work. |

track, it has not been the same ever since. The amount of exciting racing there in a given race has dropped dramatically. I guess when you lose that kind of revenue , you put on a football game. Which is brilliant. |

To the track itself, the asphalt Bristol was similar to the last race I watched (Spring last year) the line was high near the fence, which I don't hate. The old concrete Bristol had the single lane on the bottom which I loved and hated. Really only one way past and that was the rough way. Love or hate the old, it made for grumpy racing, but a damn good show. |

That Bristol race was woefully attended. I kept having to snap myself out of the idea that I was watching an Xfinity race. Or it was Monday!

Not Sprint Cup, but anyway, crazy finish in the Xfinity race. Congrats to Sadler, although I reckon Brennon Poole was robbed - they could've thrown the caution just a few seconds later, as the cars crossed the finish line.
Nasty hit for Logano, looks like he lost control all on his own after Sadler took the air off the rear spoiler. |

The way Logano was going back and forth trying to
block both lines, I knew that was not going to end calmly. Just glad no one got upside down and rip down a fence. |

Pretty cool that Chases dad , Bill Elliott, had the pole
at this same race 30 years ago. Bill went on to a 24th finish that day with Bobby Allison winning. Lets hope the rain stays away and we have a safe race. |

Oh look, Logano triggered another unnecessary restrictor plate wreck. How surprising.

Due to unforeseen reasons, I watched a bit of this $hit show they had in Alabama today. The only disappointment they didn't have was rain.
This kind of "racing" is a complete joke. |
