I get so bored on NASCAR off weekends. I have nothing to watch on TV and I feel like i'm missing something. Before you ask, no, i'm not a huge basketball fan so i'd much rather have my NASCAR over the NCAA tournament.
Of course, that's not true, but I can't help it. Most drivers took the weekend off, like Ryan Newman, who probably went fishing (just guessing from this photo I found on the net, at left). Either way, here are my weekend thoughts and observations regardless:
When do you think Ryan Newman caught that fish and what kind of bait did he use? I bet fellow Copy Editor Hugh Koontz knows.
It was good to see Scott Wimmer win the Nationwide race this weekend at Nashville, he was long overdue for a victory. My little brother would be jealous of that Gibson Guitar that he gets to take home as his prize.
Speaking of the Nationwide Series, i'm so glad one of the Cup regulars didn't win the race over the weekend. They win enough races as it is and they frankly shouldn't be allowed to race in the Nationwide Series as much as they do. I'd say more about this but I think this is going to be the topic of my column this week, so i'll leave it alone for now.
Kyle Busch got over aggressive in the Nationwide race and crashed, again. He has gotten to know the safer barriers at several of the tracks on both the Sprint and Nationwide circuits lately. Oddly, he still leads the Sprint Cup standings after wrecking at Bristol.
Umm.....that's about all i've got. I'll be back next week with my regular predictions and such. I'll also be adding a special blog about my trip to see the Drive-By Truckers in Asheville at The Orange Peel on Saturday. My twin brother is driving in from Wilmington for it and i'm looking forward to attending the rock show. Everyone have a safe and happy Easter!
