First Big Dummy Award Given To Gorden's Crew
Yesterday while I was at the Duel's I was thinking what can I do to make  my blog unique.  Then it hit me, I will give out an award to the dumbest move of the race and name it the Big Dummy Award.

What is the Big Dummy Award?
The Big Dummy Award is given to whome I think made the biggest mistake of the race.   Another words the  dumbest move. 

So enough rambling here it is.

With multiple races and muliple altercations I thought I would have it easy to pick out the first ever Big Dummy award winner.  I was wrong because really the first big dummy award winner didn't even happen because of an incident on the track.

I am giving it to Gordon's crew because even though Gordon won the race the crew made a stupid mistake and now Gordon will start at the back.

Quote From Pemberton:
Robin Pemberton, NASCAR's vice president for competition, said bolts had been misaligned on the rear shocks installed prior to Thursday's race. Once the race started, the load on those misaligned bolts caused the car's quarterpanels, but not the roof, to be lower than the minimum allowed height.

"Honestly, I think it's something a mechanic made a mistake on as he bolted the shocks on during the installation process," Pemberton said.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

I am not a mechanic, I am a geek but I know I could proably put the bolts in correctly. 

Honorable Mentions:
  • Michael Waltrip
  • Robby Gordon
So here's to Jeff's Crew.  Congratulations on winning the first ever Big Dummy award.

Jeff Gordon was not available for comment on his crew recieving the first ever Big Dummy award.

Come back sunday and see who take the Daytona 500 Big Dummy Award.
