Just Another February . . .
....and no win for Tony. The 24 hours at Daytona is followed by the 24 hours at California. I'm sure I'm not alone when I backseat drive and say they made a real bad call starting the race yesterday. I blow stuff up for a living, so don't take my word for it. I'm sure the 11, 5 and 88 really would like an explanation to why their race cars are all wrinkled up. They were definitely the biggest losers today. The 24 jumps 24 spots ahead in the points to 14th. If you're gonna make a comeback after Daytona, this is the place to do it. Every race, it gets harder to make it up. Kyle Bush is the only one to finish both races in the top 5, and it shows as he takes the points lead. Tony goes from third, well, to third with his 7th place finish. He seemed to be able to move around just after restarts, but when the car in front of him got a lead, he was just stuck there. The last time I saw Carl Edwards do a flip, it was in person here at Dover. I was trying to see how many shrimp I could eat before they kicked me out of the sky box. He finished way out in front. If you thought Daytona was boring (and I read that a lot; don't feel the same), then hook yourself up to a defibrillator and shock yourself back to life.1 Comments:

And with one lap to go.....
Needless to say I'm not as disappointed as Tony, but I was on my knees after that one. It's a real heart breaker to be in that position at that point in the race. But he wasn't up there the whole time, and he didn't have a lot of good things to say about his car most of the race. Thanks to a friend with TrackPass on NASCAR.com, I was able to listen to him all but cuss at the car for some time. But in true championship team fashion, Zippy and co. were able to put the proper screws to it and get him in a position to win it.I think Tony went low to pick up a push he knew he wasn't gonna get from the 12. He didn't realize that Kyle lost all of his momentum after being forced under the yellow line and having to lift. We'll never know, but I could have seen a huge wreck if Tony would have attempted the block on Ryan with Kurt attached. Given one more lap, Kyle would have been able to give him that push. I gotta look on the bright side a little, we're 136 points ahead of where we were this time last year. Here's to finishing in the top 3 all year.
Congratulations to Ryan Newman and Rodger Penske. He started this journey when he entered a car in the 1972 Daytona 500 with Mark Donohue behind the wheel of a AMC Matador. 18 laps into it, a push rod got too short (broke). Roger's been trying ever since. And I'll recognize the two Evernham cars in the top 10. Sadler had a terrible run going and finished up front.
You're the greatest Toni.

Smoke just can't close the deal at the 500!
Newman came out of nowhere it win, which to me, is a buzz kill.
Thanks for your comment.

Tony's disappointment was written all over his face, and no one can blame him. 3rd is a great finish, but it's not 1st at the 50th Daytona 500. Zippy and crew did a wonderful job at getting an impossible to handle car where it needed to be. My bright side is... at least Kust Busch didn't take the checkered flag!
Thanks Darling!
Thanks for your comment.

I have to say my jaw still hurts from dropping to the floor during that last lap. As dissapointing as it was, it was a great race.
Smoke did say that he felt that if he had stayed in front of the Dodges, he probably would have wrecked.
The good news is, the #20 looks very strong and it is going to be a great season for Smoke.
Thanks RevJim for your comment.

The Duals are Done
I'm actually emailing in this post. If it works well, you might see me blogging more from different locations. Back to the post. The Duals were as exiting as the Shootout, but the Championship is still not on the line. I've never been a big fan of non-points events. It's like playing online poker tournaments for free. No real risk for putting it all out there. But every lap in the Daytona 500 will count towards the big picture, the Sprint Cup (That's what they're calling it now, right?). Jr has the chance to make history like Tony did last year by winning the Shootout, his dual, and then the 500. We all know how Tony finished that up last year (Dead Last!).
I've told people for years that if Tony finished second to Jr. in every plate race, I would be happy. The plate races are huge points gambles as far as I'm concerned. Leading a lap and finishing second is as good as a win in my book.

The truth as to what happened in the hauler may never come to light, but I agree.. there must have been some lack of restaint for them to get the same penalty. I'm sure it comes to no one's suprise as to the stupid decision that Kust Busch made and future decisions he will contiue to make. After all... Tony is not the first driver to have an altercation with him. It's really no wonder why Spencer is one of Tony's biggest fans.
Happy Valentine's Day Darling!
