Days like to today are what makes Nascar one of the best sports out there or at least to me. Things in a race can change in the blink of an eye and it can go in your drivers favor or completely against it, like what happened to my favorite driver today. Although I must say that he did a wonderful job and I'm so proud of him. I just wish he got the finish he deserved.
I wasn't to sure if I going to see this one race but I wanted to badly, I hadn't watched a race since Daytona and for a race fan like myself that missing races is torture. I have spent the last couple weeks at work on lunch in the back, isolated listening to Joey's car radio. A big thanks to the managers who put up with my making sure I get my lunch after the start time. I can only imagine what happens when I go to lunch on Sunday's. Most people steer clear of the room I choose. If you think that is bad. Just think about with what my family and friends put up with when I'm actually watching it. My mom can get that way to so think of my poor dad and sister when she's actually around.
Today thank God I actually got to see most of the race, which was amazing. Fontana is always interesting. Gaining ground seems a little better than some other tracks. Fortunately and unfortunately there was so much of a shuffle and would take a long time to write I'll spare details and say that the last five laps watching Joey lead the race were utter torture. Especially when 1. You're watching with your roommate and she knows nothing about racing. 2. Although she knows nothing about the overwhelming feeling of emotion when your driver is leading that she found it funny to videotape. 3. When she asks the worst question you can ever ask period. "Wouldn't it be funny if he wrecked on the last lap and lost the race?" 4. Watching that wreck happen of the last lap with the win so close just out of the grip of his hand and the overwhelming feeling to just kick her in the ass for opening her mouth.
The wreck was bad. Joey Logano and Denny Hamlin were racing for the lead and Joey got loose and it was a chain reaction that took out both of them out and gave Kyle Busch the win. So congrats Kyle!
Some may say that the wreck was one racer or the others. But that just wasn't the case. It was a racing accident. And I'm so proud of Joey for holding his ground out there. But my thoughts do go out to Denny since he took what may have been the biggest hit I've seen in a long time and was taken to the hospital for his injuries.
Moving on but also backwards. It was brought to my attention that I didn't share my new guy friend. There was a reason behind that and to avoid any type of awkward silence, here goes nothing.
He's a pretty nice guy. I don't really know him all that well but hopefully that will change. But its seems like if I blog about a guy they aren't around much longer after I post. That statement in itself is the main reason I'm so apprehensive to do this. But anyways, he and I went to dinner on Friday which I had a good time and it seemed like he did to. But I was left wondering if I really was what he expected or were those higher than normal because of the conversations prior. I don't know but I don't know if I want to know either.
We made plans to watch a movie Saturday. So Saturday came, and he actually showed which is a new thing for me. I'm kinda used to be cancelled on, or the person not showing up. So I was really thrown for a loop when he came. Granted Ashley made a bigger deal of it than she needed to, but she always does. The movie was great. I finally calmed down enough to just enjoy myself. Which it wasn't like I didn't the whole time but after that minute of complete calm it was even better.
I don't know how much there's left for me to say honestly, but we'll see how things go and hopefully this won't end up like the others.
Until Next Time
