It's been a while, but he did it. After a talk with Coach Gibbs, everything seemed to be hunky dory with the FedEx and Home Depot drivers.
It wasn't much of a wreck fest, but it was more of a engine blowing mess. Menard, Truex, to name two, had those problems, while Earnhardt did not. He had the pleasure of having his power steering go out. Never having this happen before, he had no idea how to deal with it. It seemed like a flat tire to the Budweiser driver, and surisingly, Eury Jr handled it quite well.
Jimmie Johnson wasn't so lucky, slamming into the wall, after cutting a tire at full speed. It looked more serious than it actually was. My breath was caught, waiting for the Lowe's driver to emerge frm the number 48. I never like to see ANY driver hurt, not even Johnson. That was a close call indeed, with only a bruised elbow to show for it...not a concussion or broken bones.
Of course, I need to mention the broadcasting side, because I am a trained broadcaster. TNT didn't do a bad job, but I would have eliminated Weber in the booth. Allen Bestwick should always be in the booth...but of course, contractual obligations would interfer with that. Certain contracts have non competition clauses which eliminate that possibility.
ESPN will pick up where TNT left off in Indy after a week off.
I will blog in between...so feel like commenting? Please DO!
