#nascar Dover Race!

Hmmm,
Well it surely didn't go the way I wanted it to go for sure. Jeff Gordon had a fast car but due to getting caught a lap down early he never recovered. There was a time where he was almost as fast as Jimmy, and almost raced to get his lap back, but it was not to be. Grade for the weekend: C-
Jimmy Johnson, WOW, what a finish. That was the best finish to a race since well maybe last year at Martinsville when Jeff and Jimmy battled for the lead for 10 or so laps until Jimmy won it. That was great stuff, and you have to give it up to Tony, he is doing 100% better than I thought he ever would. I am just glad that JJ was racing him and not someone else, who shall remain nameless. I don't see how JJ can loose the Championship this year, that will be 4 in a row, something never done. As much as I would love to see Jeff win it, I don't think that team is up to par with Jimmy and Chad, they are a pair to be reckoned with, let the record books show it. Best of all time, comes to mind. They are just awesome, you can't deny it. Grade for the Weekend: A++
Dale Jr, well he did better, not that I expected much, it's just one week (or less) since Tony Jr got canned, er moved, to another place in HMS. Although at one time he did have a very good car, got in the top 5, etc.. Then as per their MO this year and last, the last third of the race the car fell off, they made the wrong adjustment, Junior got tired, or whatever he fell off, finished 12th. The good news is the fall off wasn't like it normally was/is, I think they are on the right track, I just hope all the resources Hendrick has moved to the 88 doesn't deter from the other cars? Only time will tell, over all pretty good weekend for Junior. Grade for the Weekend: B-
Mark Martin, it was a pretty quiet race for him, I don't even remember the broadcast (Fox's last one, thank god) mentioning him many times at all. 10th Place finish very quietly making his way into the top 12, barely, but after the start to the year he has come on strong. What is there to say about Mark that hasn't already been said, nutin, so I won't say anymore. Grade B+
Fox Sports, YEA I am glad it is over, I am sick of the stupid cartoon, I am sick of the DW love fest for KB! Can it get any worse, yes KB is a great driver, yes he does some impressive stuff (this weekend at all races), but this year he just isn't closing the deal. When his car was horrible Sunday he was whining and bitching like a little baby, so DW get over it! Hendrick Motorsports is where it is at. Oh do I have to mention that Tony's car is a HMS chassis?
.. Grade C (would be worse, but at least its over)
