The Mock Run with Kaitlyn Vincie: Grab Some Buns

Rapid Fire with Kurt Busch (+playlist)

The Kyle Show Must Go On

   

        NASCAR hosted the Kyle show yesterday at Auto Club Speedway. Again. Kyle Busch and Kyle Larson, once more, had me jumping up and down like a kangaroo screaming at the television. I was pulling for the kid. After watching Larson hold on for the win Saturday, then watching him dive and dodge and blast his way to second on the last lap Sunday, he has gained a new admirer. It has been a long time since I watched the 42 car look that good on an oval. It looked like it had a stock car racer in it. A good one. Larson is the real deal folks.

         Other Fontana Observations:

         Kyle Busch can just flat wheel a race car. Regardless of your opinion of him, it is impossible to deny that the man can just flat wheel a car.  I especially loved the camera on his wife as she screamed what rhymed with "truck yeah" as he crossed the finish line first. A few moments later, we saw the 18 team in a prayer circle. Well played, camera man.

         It's not Goodyear's fault. Pemberton said so. But more importantly, Junior said so.

         The Chase is filling right on up. At this rate, I fully expect NASCAR to tweak its brand new rules a little bit any day now.

         Lord, did the fans show up for this one. I was happy to read about that. It wasn't but a few years ago that everyone was complaining about Fontana. The leaky asphalt/concrete debacle I believe it was. I had thought it never rained in California. It rained dollar bills into Kyle Larson's bank account this weekend.

         Lastly, WHAT IN THE HECK is up with NASCAR officials and these switches? They are leaning against them on accident, falling into them, and getting their clothes hung on them? Wow. The Physics of NASCAR.

        That's all I got. I have a paying job and it seems they want me to do work. What is up with that?

        Thoughts?
