No Runny Eggs

The repository of one hard-boiled egg from the south suburbs of Milwaukee, Wisconsin (and the occassional guest-blogger). The ramblings within may or may not offend, shock and awe you, but they are what I (or my guest-bloggers) think.

Post-Daytona 500 thoughts

I suppose the good news is neither Hendrick nor Toyota took the race. Random thoughts:

– Why would Robbie Gordon go from Ford to Dodge? I mean, Dodge is the ugly red-headed stepchild of NASCAR now that Toyota’s in with Gibbs. Wait, I just answered the question.
– Maybe Hendrick Motorsports isn’t so invulnerable after all. Their engines broke before the Duels, Dale Earnhardt Jr’s shift knob broke, then Jeff Gordon’s suspension broke. By the end, the Official Driver of the 2008 Hen¢AR Sprint Cup season had nobody left to help him.
– The Toyotas are pretty damn strong. They’re the only cars that could routinely pull off single-car moves up through the field. Guess having 15 horses at the rear wheels on the Official Team of Hen¢AR and 30 on the field does wonders.
– The leading candidate to be out at Roush Fenway when they drop to 4 teams is now David Ragan. He’s Kyle Busch without the talent, as he ruined Matt Kenseth’s and my day by mistaking the DeWalt Ford for a vacant piece of Daytona real estate long before the last lap.
– While 465 beats 435, 870 beats 465. Busch the older is a team player, while Busch the younger isn’t. Nice job upsetting the applecart, Penske boys; enjoy the Room of Doom next week at California as Brian and company begins Operation: Vengeance.
– When Tony Stewart finally wins a Daytona 500, will he get a receiving line like Dale Earnhardt did?
