The blog must ....go on

Man, as easy as it is to do a two hour live NASCAR radio show, this posting business can sure stump me.  It doesn't  matter how seemingly little the world of the family von France provides us some weeks, we always have more than enough stuff to run out of time to present ON PIT ROW.

The blog is a bit tougher for me. Although it may not seem so, I try to be original and thoughtful and at least kind of knowledgeable in here.  There is plenty to write about this week. I mean I have read many great posts about the Car of Whatever and Bristol and Kyle Busch. Jeff Burton's non-pass and Greg Biffle's non-cheat. Toyota, Michael Waltrip. Next.

Bob's comment on the previous post mentions a great Kyle rant on the NASCAR Ranting and Raving Blog

First of all Kyle, with the way you were driving your car, it seemed to handle alright for you - you won after all.

Secondly, if your car was crap then imagine how bad the cars were in the back of the pack.

Thirdly, what are you a sissy? Imagine actually having to really drive a car and not let the areo or shock package do it for you. I would imagine that if your steering pump broke you would park the car because it would be too much effort for you to drive the car. Hey if it is that bad then quit, there are about 10,000 (and counting) other drivers out there who would drive a Rick Hendrick car. Give your ride to someone who actually deserves it, like Kenny Wallace.

Sorry about the formatting. I don't have this totally mastered. For sure. Anyway read the rest of 4ever3's rant if you haven't already.

Here's what I think happened to me this week. The past ten or so days of Nextel Cup talk, debate, what have you, has focused on the Car of THIS SPACE FOR SALE.  It was fun and certainly important to the sport and the fans of the sport. Technical racing stuff is a gas to argue because, frankly, I don't know what I'm talking about most of the time but neither does anybody else. Percentage wise, it's a level playing field.  The problem with all that wrench/tech discussion is we got away from the real passion generator in this sport.  The passion does not come from car silhouettes and spoiler/splitters.  Personalities, or in the case(s) of the Busch Bros, the lack thereof, drive the popularity and speed up the pulse of the kingdom of France.

The picture is from  the film "Shakespeare in Love". Great. Very funny.

Anyway, the blog must....thanks again Kyle, you weasel...go on.
