Damnit, Damnit, Son of a Bitch.....The 50th Daytona 500


So I'll begin by admitting that I barely watched this year. I had to work all day and though we have a TV, it's not like I could have sat and watched the whole race. What I did see was that Toyota is going to be fine...better than fine after last year's lackluster performance. With Joe Gibbs Racing joining the Toyota family, and Kyle Bush joining Gibbs, there's going to be no stopping them. I'm not even close to a Kyle Bush fan, but he is a good hard racer. Now I was sure Tony Stewart was going to finally get his first 500 win, and that was before the green flag dropped. Once I saw how great he was doing, I thought his chances had tripled. I've never been so happy and so frustrated after one lap of racing in my life. To see Smoke take the white flag in the top spot, I knew he would win.....but as most Nascar fans will tell you, the last place you want to be on the last lap few laps is first. You're a sitting duck. So Tony got passed by the Penski freight train of Ryan Newman and Kurt Bush.....yes, that Bush bro who rumer has it was punched by none other than Tony Stewart just days earlier in a post racing incident trip to the Nascar hauler......wow. Having Stewart go from first to third in the last lap of the 50th running of the great Daytona 500 sucked, but to be passed by a douche bag like Kurt Bush....well that's just wrong.

I was gonna say something nasty yet hopefully witty about Nascar, but then I remembered...I like drag racing (short attention span you know). Oh well. But I do want to know one thing. Do hangovers after a day of Nascar watching and beer drinking come with a crick in your neck from constantly looking left? :-)
