Miller + Coors = Morrs?
Across the yahoo feed came this interesting tidbit. Apparently, in order to go head to head with The Busch Clan, the two manufacturers will be combining to produce their products, and streamline distribution. This little ditty will save an estimated $500 million a year, so they say. Coors already pulled their car sponsorship, moving it to an Official Nascar Partnership, so what could happen to the #2 sponsorship? Hmmm. WTF?
Where’s The Post-Race?
Like this needs little introduction. I just absolutely LOVE a 30 second Victory Lane interview with closing credits slipped in. THEN, to top it off, being cut to a #*$@!#^ informercial. A informercial.
If Dave Chappelle were here, you know what he would say. “Man, ESPN is %#*#$!’ up!”
Yep, that they are. If Nascar wants to know why the television ratings are slipping, they have no farther to look than their broadcast partners. It’s about time Nascar put out some minimum guidelines/requirements for covering its top series’.
So, ESPN, WTF?
One more time, in case they’re hiding out in the cheap seats… W.T.F?
Concord Fiasco
So, now that Mayor McCheese over in Concord knows the Bruton Smith isn’t joking, they’re petitioning the Zone and Planning folks to make sure that construction at the current facility can continue. Hmmmm. Guess McCheese realized his meal ticket was on its way out the door, and had a “change of heart”.
WTF? You either stand by your convictions, or you don’t. I guess hit particular eyes are filled with dollar signs. Imagine that. Wouldn’t look to good on a re-elect if you intentionally cause one of your biggest tax payers to hightail it out of town, now would it?
And there ya have it. The WTF’s for this week. Nope, no ‘Dega complaints here. The show went off without a hitch really, and honestly as well as could be expected. Yeah, it snoozed for a good while, but what can you expect? It’ll get better as the information and data on the car comes in. They learned a lot in the last 50 laps, especially about how much they can use that ol’ chrome horn. They know how much they used it, and what it did to the front end. They know better now what to expect with it in a pack with the draft. Patience, Daniel San. Rome wasn’t built in a day.

“Yeah, it snoozed for a good while, but what can you expect? It’ll get better as the information and data on the car comes in.”
Once again we’re both out in the woods alone holding the same opinion on Talladega.
The hate and invective spilled this week has been of epic proportions.
To read the vast majority of the media and blog posts one would think every previous Talladega event was competed with all 200 laps with 43 cars stacked one atop the other all fighting to cross the line first.
Amazing how “forgetful” one can be when going into an event when one has a preconceived notion of the outcome.
Amazing how some can forget every NASCAR event of say 350 miles or longer is “boring to tears in the middle,” as most complained about last Sunday.
Nitwits!
