The Busch Series ASSHOLE OF THE WEEK AWARD

While trying to recover from the flu I was able to watch alot of NASCAR coverage. First off I would like to say that Mark Martins Craftsman Truck win was spectacular, it is easy to see his level experience and racing wisdom just by watching his pit strategies. All the younger guys need to watch and take lessons from him. i cant wait until his museum opens and the new wears off, I would really like to go check it out. I have been saying the same thing about the Clinton Library in Little Rock and still have not made it up there. As far as today's Busch Series race goes-it was spectacular! I really believe that the 500 is going to be the same way. A lot of bump drafting and refusing to give up positions will probably lead to the BIG one, and I just hope that JR. is not in it. So as I saw it the ASSHOLE OF THE RACE AWARD goes to.........Kevin Harvick. The way I saw it when the racing went three wide with Stewart on the bottom (driving a kevin harvick inc. car), Jr in the middle (still racing up front on old tires compared to everyone racing on new tires), and Waltrip on the top, all with cars behind pushing them....so we thought. After looking a little closer the car behind the No. 8 was none other than our ASSHOLE of the week, and what is he doing-backing off, hanging Jr. out to dry. Moral of the story- Mr. Harvick had three reasons to do this, his two cars that he owns that finished 1st. and 3rd. and himself. So the way I see he well deserves the ASSHOLE AWARD.

The Asshole of the Race award goes to the No. 5 Kyle Bush for his ability to piss everyone off. See the picture below and take notice of the resemblance to PeeWee the chicken choker.

Amazing...that is the only word I can think of to describe todays race. If the Bud Shootout was any indication as to what the rest of the season holds it will be exciting. I thought Waltrip was a little to cocky during the pre-race interveiw and then fell 4 seconds behind the leader, I was thinking DAMN. But then he came back and helped Jr. get to the front. I was so happy to see the no. 8 finish second. I have decided to start something new...I am going to start naming one driver every week The Asshole of the Race Award..............and the winner for the Bud Shootout is the no. 5 Kyle Bush. Long live the asshole...and from the way he was driving today I look to bestow this honor on him many times this year. But other than that I really enjoyed the kick off of the 2006 season. There was some beautiful racing today. Not to mention a big CONGRATS to Jeff Burton for taking the pole in the 500...it has been a long time coming for him. I believe there will be alot of teams surprising us this year...especially Petty Enterprise. i hope to make a race or two this year but with us trying to buy a house I dont know, but I will make it to Monticello Speedway as much as possible to watch Doug Baker and Jeff Marks run the dirt oval. I hope to post a few things about those races to. Until next time keep it out of the marbles.

Race Day Is Finally Here............
