Off weekend thoughts and observations

While the boys in the Sprint Cup Series took the weekend off (well, most of them anyway) the Nationwide Series was busy tearing up the streets in Mexico at the Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez during the Corona Mexico 200. Kyle Busch earned his third straight victory in the Nationwide Series, holding off Tazmanian Marcos Ambrose and roadcourse ringer Scott Pruett.

Ok, we get it Kyle, you can win in anything that has four wheels. You've won in the Cup Series, Nationwide Series, and Craftsman Truck Series this year. Let someone else win, would ya?

Was anyone else a little surprised at just how upset Boris Said got with Marcos Ambrose after Ambrose wrecked him on Sunday? Boris going over and actually apologizing to Ambrose's crew chief for the car he's gonna wreck in the future is mind blowing. If that actually ends up happening you know NASCAR will be mighty upset with Boris.

You've gotta think Carl Edwards is getting tired of all this double dipping. When's the last time Carl took a weekend off during the NASCAR season?

Speaking of Carl, him going into that Office Depot in Mexico and NO ONE knowing who he was, well that was just hilarious. I'm sure Office Depot was just a little embarrased by that little video.

Way to go Danica Patrick!!!! I'm a huge fan of women in racing, we need more of it, and Danica winning the Indy Japan 300 is a big step in proving that women can drive just as good as any man can.

Oh boy oh boy oh boy oh boy Talladega is next week!!!

Anyone wanna buy some NASCAR diecast? I've got a bunch i'm looking to get rid of.

If anyone can make it out to the ARCA Carolina 500 in Rockingham in early May, do so. If I could take the time off and go I would, because that is going to be one heck of a show. It will be the first major race at Rockingham since new owner Andy Hillenburg bought the track. Here's hoping with a little bit of work Andy can bring NASCAR back to the old oval.
