Racing in the rain … in Canada

The Nationwide Series is in Canada and it's raining. I will post more info when I get it.

I'm still burned up about tires

I just can't help it. I am still ticked off beyond words about the pitiful situation that NASCAR and Goodyear tried to call racing this past weekend at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. As I stated previously, next to Daytona and maybe Talladega, Indy is like the Holy Grail of NASCAR racing.

The track has so much history and it's sad that the tires used for this year's Brickyard 400 ruined the race.

I will say this, NASCAR has been very contrite and apologetic regarding the tire problem but I have yet to hear a single word from Goodyear. An apology would be nice and if you can't figure out what to say you could always take notes from NASCAR's Robin Pemberton. This is what he had to say:

What a joke - Goodyear sucks

The race at Indianapolis is one of the Top 5 events of the NASCAR Sprint Cup season and Goodyear ruined it. Start, stop, start, stop … what the hell? The idea behind racing is to go fast, not having to worry about NASCAR throwing a competition caution every 12 laps.

It was just pointed out to me, this race is all about pit stops. And it was pointed out by someone who hates NASCAR, so you can only imagine how I felt watching the race.

I am a race fan and this year's Brickyard 400 was pitiful.

If NASCAR thinks that what we watched on Sunday was RACING then they need to see a shrink. The tires literally disintegrated as the cars went around the track.

This was a big disappointment — the only saving grace was that I wasn't spending my budget by attending the race. Thankfully, I traded this year's Brickyard for the Sharpie 500 at Bristol in August.
