Congrats to Tony again for his victory at Daytona, he had one of the best cars all night long, so congrats to Tony and HIS team. To be honest he has way surpassed my expectations for what he would accomplish this year. He has already won 2 races, he leads the points (by a substantial margin) and is well, driving like the Tony of old. He has also mellowed a bit from his Bad Tony days. His interview after the race discussing KB and the wreck was the new Tony to a T. Again congrats to him.

Jimmy Johnson - yet another top 5, at the track he hasn't done well at in quite some time. How can anyone doubt they are well on their way to a another championship. Chad has got that team rolling yet again and I don't see much in the way to stop them. It will be hard fought for sure, but they just don't make mistakes, and when they do they recover BIG time.

Jeff Gordon - just didn't catch a break, when that wreck happened I noticed and hoped he got through it, then they showed the replay with a wider view and I knew it was over. Big damage to right front, no way to recover from that, I was happy they continued and stayed on the lead lap. Points racing at it's best. Better luck next time JG.

Denny Hamlin - Another Car that was good all day, but the breaks just didn't fall his way this time. His comments after the race kind of explained it, he just didn't know who to follow and had no idea how it was going to turn out. Again this is restrictor plate racing, it is what it is.

Carl Edwards - Talk about showing up at the end, of course the wreck helped, but you never saw or was he even mentioned much on the broadcast. Just like usual, he is slowly but surely creeping up the standings. I do like Cousin Carl, but he just drives for the wrong team ...

Kurt Busch - Damaged car and all and he gets a top-5 out of the deal. This is a great race team led by a motor sports legend, they will be around during the chase don't think otherwise.

Marcos Ambrose - Awesome finish, his best at a plate race for sure. I used to watch him when he drove the V8 SuperCars in Aussie land, now that was exciting racing. Glad to see him doing well, I just love to hear him talk. He is always very happy, and excited to just be in cup racing. Again great job Marcos!

Mark Martin/Dale Jr - Wrong place wrong time, I think they both had cars that could have been up there at the end, but again caught up in someone else's wreck cost them a great day. Dale Jr is out of the chase for this year, I suggest they start working on next years cars NOW. Mark is still in it, and I think the next couple races will be good for him, he needs to do well so he gets back in the top 12! GO MARK!

TNT - I am starting to like the broadcasts more and more, and I have to tell you Kyle Petty twittering during the race is just neat. I also enjoy their balance in the booth. Good job TNT, keep it up.

Can't wait for this weekends race at Chicagoland speedway, too bad I am not in Chicago this week, or I might just have stayed to see the race. Good luck HMS!!

Until next time...

Oh and I finally got my Palm Pre, I will comment on it later this week in a seperate post, but I like it so far...
