You know as long as I long as I've been writing I don't think i ever blogged about my passion. Nascar. Its strange to think about honestly, the fact that if you look back you see quite a few hockey blogs. Well now comes the time when I will write about the driver that brought me into the sport and the sport that has had my heart since I was a freshman in high school.
Nascar, the American sport. In my opinion one of the the best sports out there. Who doesn't love watching guys drive around going speeds we only wish we could go on the highway. And as we hit the end of the of season and the last race which was this afternoon. I must say goodbye to the Home Depot race team and hello to the Pennzoil race team. Because we all know who my favorite driver is. Joey Logano. Earlier in the year, Home Depot decided to drop Joey as their driver and pick up Matt Kenseth. Not the best choice but more power to them really. And not to long after that Nascar announced that Joey would drive a Penske car. I was excited for Joey to have a ride for next year and am honestly thrilled that I won't be a driverless fan come February. The only thing that really jerks my chain and really I've said it before and I'll say it a million more times, until somebody realizes that I was right. Joey was a winner from the start all they had to do was give him the right equipment and a good team (crew chief, pit crew, engineers) and he could've been in the winners circle week after week. And the biggest mistake that I think JGR made was not getting rid of Zippy sooner than they did. He was accustomed to working with a winning seasoned veteran, not a 19 year old rookie. I knew this was true from the start, but when I started seeing the tension it was apparent I was right. But I don't really want to bash anyone. So I'll leave my post at this, to everyone who said that Joey couldn't win he did this year with Joe Gibbs and will plenty more times with Penske. Good luck to Joey in the off season addjusting to the new shop and all the new people and equipment, I am behind him 100% and wish him nothing but good things in the upcoming season. Can't wait for the ninety some days left until Daytona.
Until Next Time
