NASCAR Notes
I can't believe I'm saying this, but...apparently the first bitchy entitlement tirade of the season goes to Greg Zipadelli. I was watching the first NASCAR Live from Sunday and they asked Zippy how Joey dealt with that wreck that took him out early in the Shootout. Seems Joey was second guessing himself, wondering what he could have done differently, and they reassured him that in that instance, there wasn't anything. It was just a wreck that happened and he was caught up in it.
Simple, right?
Then Zippy proceeds to say that the fault lies with the guys up in front of him driving like idiots early. That they were being too aggressive. Now, pardon me if I'm wrong, but it's not a points race, the wrecks usually happen in the back, so you don't want to be in the back, all the people in front of him weren't rookies, and the cars were handling like crap. I think the part where the cars, which had not been on track for anything more than practice, were bouncing all over the place and everyone was a bit freaked out by it...you'd think THAT would be a solid explanation for all the wrecks. Since that's what everyone and their brother in the booth (DW being the brother in question) saw from the start of the race.
Zippy, honey, no one's going to step aside and let the sainted Sliced Bread go just because. He has to earn it. Get used to having a guy that will run at the back for a while.

Clint Bowyer, Jeff Burton and Stephen Leicht have a bet going. Whoever has the most wins by the July Daytona race in the 29 Nationwide car gets their name on the for the rest of the year. That means if Clint wins the most races between now and July, Jeff and Stephen have to live with driving a car with Clint's name on it.

Visual proof of Tony's send off from Joe Gibbs Racing. Yep, Tony taped to a flag pole.
