Painful. Just painful. I feel like I was in some sort of torture device for nearly seven and a half hours. I could have skipped all but the last 5 laps. The hole in the track was the biggest joke. Come on.
I follow racing on Twitter while I watch the race on television. Here are a few tweets that made me chuckle:
Jenna Fryer from the Associated Press, ” Has NASCAR set up a number we can text to donate $10 to track repairs yet?”
Jeff Gluck from SB Nation, “Almost like rain is coming…trying to be out front in case of another #hole delay? Racing hard now.”
Shawn Courchesne from the Hartford Courant, “NASCAR officials are now asking the fan council if they might have a solution to fixing the hole.”
What I’m trying to say here is if you get to the point of wanting to die listening to good ole Darrell Waltrip, log onto Twitter to tune him out. It’s just so funny to see what everyone is talking about. Very entertaining.
As much as I’m moaning about the race, I’d sit through it all over again to watch the interview with Jamie McMurray in victory lane. It was one of the most emotional Victory Lane speeches I’ve ever seen. Seriously, if you didn’t have tears in your eyes while watching McMurray try over and over again to gain his composure, I’m not sure what would do it for you. Congratulations to McMurray. Wow. An unbelievable finish.
Here are a few random thoughts:I have to admit that I was sitting on the edge of my seat rooting for Clint Bowyer, my fave.
- I have to admit that I was rooting for Clint Bowyer, my fave.
- I thought that I was actually going to get through the race without the Danicamania frenzy. No such luck. (thank you gigantic pothole)
- Dale Earnhardt Jr. looks good with a beard. Just sayin.
- I seriously am not sure I’m ready to listen to DW each week. I just don’t know.
What did you think of the race?
