That's Just Bristol

The bump and run is just Bristol. Is it right? Is it wrong? I think that depends on whom you are pulling for. Are you hoping the bumper or the bumpee is going to win? Did I like Kurt Busch winning? I’ll keep that to myself, but so many great drivers used the bump and run to win races at Bristol including Dale Earnhardt Sr., Rusty Wallace, and Jeff Gordon. It does take a little bit of talent and luck to pull this off, because we have seen the bump and run backfire on drivers before. I will say committing the bump and run on the last lap is very different that doing it with more than 25 to go. But, right or wrong its just Bristol, learn to love it.

Lets here it for good racing. I didn’t get to see this entire race because it seems like my boss likes to schedule me for Sundays. Thank you again Speed Channel for replaying races. I thought the racing was good and exciting but Bristol always has been. But it’s also been great for it’s post race action. Remember Kurt Busch and Kevin Harvick a few years ago? The more things change, the more they stay the same though.

I had a realization after reading the articles from the race on Monday and Tuesday and that conclusion is this. Jeff Gordon is a pussy and a moron. I know some people think it’s smart that he left his helmet on if he’s going to be in any type of fight. You have to protect that Madison Ave face for all those watch commercials. Doesn’t Jeff also have his own cologne? But, to come out and say I’m tired of being reserved and someone I’m not. Please, if that’s true try that bad boy attitude and see how many people like you. Yes you’ll get those people who like that, but Jeff Gordon is still Jeff Gordon. He’s always been the same and will continue to be the same. You can be “more aggressive” on the track but that doesn’t mean you aren’t a good drive that knows to take care of your equipment and on short tracks like Martinsville and Bristol it means having some patience. Gordon knows that, if he does become an “aggressive” driver and misses the Chase again maybe being someone else helped him win those 4 championships.

Martinsville and the short tracks will be on tap this weekend. Stay tuned for more tempers to flare and more excitement, even if it isn’t that fast.

Also sorry for not keeping up the last couple weeks. It’s been busy, sorry to my one fan that reads this. I promise I’ll do better.
