Speed Tv coverage and the race
10/4/2009 9:47 PM
I watched it this morning off DVR because we had to work at Eagle last night, and I loved it. Very good coverage I thought, but an awful lot of carnage.
Heck of a race for 1st & 2nd I thought. Donny gave it his all but just couldn't get past Greg. Everyone bags on Donny because he wants to win SOOO badly that nothing else is good enough. He admitted that he's a lousy loser, but that's what makes a winner.
I knew about Steve's back problem, and hope that he gets it completely taken care of over the WoO's off-season. He's another one who won't settle for anything but being the best, but his is tempered by so many years of experience that he knows that fecal matter occurs at times.
Same goes for Jac. He didn't get the nickname "Wild Child" by putting around the bottom 'ya know.
Pitman is no less driven than either of those 2, and unlike NASCAR our dirt track guys WILL show their emotion and not be fined for "Actions detrimental to racing" or some such BS.
Too bad sprint car racing isn't main-stream enough to garner a sponsor to allow it to be broadcast on a weekly (or more) basis. One of these days maybe. It's going to be a long winter, but aren't they all??
The best part was that no one actually got hurt, despite so many cars being torn up. Everyone emerged safe and can race another day.
Here's to a great last few races in an extremely close points race.
