Smoked!

Smoke, Shrub, Junior. That was the top 3 finishers in today's NASCAR Nationwide Series opener in Daytona. JGR Toyotas led 93 of the 120 laps. As I said earlier don't count Toyota out, not by a longshot.

Kyle Bush ran a great race. He did'nt make any friends with Martin Truex, Jr either. His blocking on the last lap made me think of the glory days of Daytona with Allison and Yarbrough. Truex whined about it after the race, Bush pointed out Truex was pushing him sideways all the way down the frontstretch. Waa.

Man, was Dave Burns giving Junior a beatdown or what? That was the longest interview I've ever seen for a 3rd place finish. Burns had Earnhardt so whipped he was speaking about himself in 3rd person. Dale finally had to tell him "I've got to go now".
Sheesh...

Speaking of Junior, he has a bit of a problem on his hands with NASCAR. They don't like you tinkering with stuff after you pass tech inspection. They won't say exactly what the infraction was other than it was with the rear spoiler. He'll gladly pay Tuesday for that hamburger today.

Tomorrow is when the real fun begins. Man, what I would'nt give to be camped out in the Daytona infield right now.
