Viva Las Vegas!

I know, that's cheesy as hell!

So Mitty still has the lead, by a comfortable margin too. Almost sixty points. Damn! Sure makes it hard for the rest of us to keep up. But, it's a loooooong season. :)

Race was okay. Lots of action, that's for sure. Seems that the teams haven't quite got this new car figured out. Looks like it's skittish as hell. Just ask Gordon and Kenseth! Or one of the dozen or so other drivers that was scraping the wall or sliding off the corners.

We still haven't seen a Chevy or a 'yoda in victory lane yet. Junior was close but no cigar. The 18 car looked like the class of the field but just faded away. I guess eleventh isn't too bad but to be out in front the way he was and then not be in the top 10 shows just how tough these cars are to handle. Isn't Kyle the guy who said that he hated driving these new cars?

Alrighty then, off to Atlanta. One of the fastest tracks in the series. Will we see Edwards get 3 in a row? Is it time for Hendrick Motorsports to start winning? How long before Gibbs Racing bags the first Toyota win? WTH, I sound like a freakin' Nascar commercial! LMAO, man I'm gonna miss Champ Cars. :)

Oh well, let's hope we get some good racing at Atlanta. I'm enjoying seeing the side by side stuff with the drivers really having a handful with these new cars. Makes it seem that much more unpredictable even though the same teams are running at the front.

'til next week...
