The Great American Race
I thought the Daytona 500 kicked ass today. A real headhunt up to the last three laps, delivered to fans by new NASCAR rules after 11 cautions. I'm waiting on Rankin' Rob's take. Personally, Jeff Gordon leaves me cold, though I applaud his victory. I wanted Mark Martin to win, as he stayed in the game to the end, and it was his and Rusty Wallace's swan song at the mighty superspeedway.
Gordon played a brilliant hand, however, and lurked with hidden power. I think Tony Stewart thought he had the dick in the bag, and had his doors blown in.
Likewise Junior.
My pledge: July at Daytona. It could be a blogmeet, with smouldering rubber, redneck chicks with tattoos, bad whiskey. I wonder if the speedway is a wireless zone? To hell with political conventions. Blogging live from NASCAR events could be the new meme.
You'd like that wouldn't you? Another one hour commute blogmeet for you.
Nice try. ; )
