Is it over yet? Almost

It pains me to write those words, but I find myself longing for the end of the season like never before. It could be the fact that the racign has been so poor. It could be the fact that my guy has a new team, that he owns, and a teammate with a sponsor I can definitely support. Or is it the plain fact that I have been so drained of media energy because of this election cycle that I just want everything connected with 2008 to end and 2009 to get going.

Has Anybody Noticed

I am sure that the NASCAR fan base is enjoying themselves and following the race to race actions at and around the track. TO be completely honest with you all, my interest has been lacking in the last few weeks. I am wrapped up in kids events, birthdays, home projects, and whatever else comes up. My NASCAR watching has been diminished significantly. I am wondering if this has affected anybody else. Is it the time of year when all things start up again and it is hard to dedicate 3 hours of my Sunday afternoon or Saturday evening to stop down and watch the race?

Chase is Over

I hate saying this as much as i hate saying the Yankees are the team to beat. Jimmy Johnson will end up winning his 3rd title in a row at the end of this season. I know it is still early in the chase but hear my reasoning.

1. Hendrick Motorsports. They are they one organization in NASCAR that has the experience and the know-how to grab the lead and put a stangle hold on it. Disagree with me please but their record is impressive.
2. Chad Knaus. Something about him rubs me the wrong way and he comes off as holier than thou when talking about race cars. Here’s the thing, he is the Bobby Fisher of crew chiefs. If there is a move to be made he knows what, where, when, and why. He gets it right more often than not. I have to say it is probably preparation and being close to his driver, but he is as close to a closer as this sport can have. He will not allow the lead to be given away.
3. Jimmy Johnson. Just a quick reminder, he is the 2 time defending champ. He knows how to win this thing.

It pains me deeply to say these things but as I watched him win yesterday i couldn’t help but think that it was done. Biffle and Edwards are still in reach and will make it interesting. They have the fact that the are chasing working against them now. JJ needs to stay the course and not force anything unnecessary, while Edwards and Biffle have the pressure keeping up and trying to steal the lead away.
