JOHNSON LEARNED A HARD LESSON
I bet Jimmie won't do that again. Especially to a firecracker like Kyle Busch. Laying back on the restart in hopes of bursting away for the last two laps to win the race. Well Jimmie, it was your race to lose, and you did. Kyle taught you one heck of a lesson. Even though Jimmie had a faster car and more experience, his hesitation cost him the win. Kyle wound up all his 800 horses a few milliseconds before Jimmie and went around him. Whether you like Kyle or not, that was great driving. I'm beginning to really like Kyle. He's maturing and is bringing a whole lot of excitement to NASCAR. I'm still scratching my head wondering why Rick Hendricks let him go. I guess he figured the Mear's pedigree would develope into a winner. Very possible, but we'll see. The good news for Jimmie and his fans is that he remained the fifth seed in the Race for the Chase. On a totally different subject. Do any of you other NASCAR fans believe as I do that NASCAR drivers should have to choose between driving in either the Nationwide Race or the Sprint Race, but not be allowed to drive in both? I believe this for two main reasons. First, it gives the Sprint car drivers the unfair advantage of learning a track the day before the BIG race. It amounts to hundreds of practice laps. Secondly, the Nationwide Race is supposed to be where the "newbies" learn their trade. And many of the young new drivers and their teams don't have the deep pockets that the Sprint car drivers and teams have. Every Nationwide race we see the same thing. The Sprint car drivers just about always leading and winning the races. Their money and experience gives them an unfair advantage there too. I believe the Nationwide races should be like the minor leagues in baseball. A place for the new guys and gals to learn and get experience. If Sprint car drivers want to compete in more races each week, there are a lot of other venues to drive in besides NASCAR.
