Thoughts??
I thought it was pretty good but it was very very boring. Way too many full course yellow's ruined it for me. No way should a Busch Race last as long, time wise, as a Cup race when it is much less of a distance. Talk is, next year's race could be in Monterrey though NASCAR says Mexico City is the place. Would be better logistically to be in Monterrey since it's just across the border but Mexico City has a freakin huge fan base that can walk to the track if they want. The thought for Monterrey is so American fans can attend.
Boy Montoya is going to be good at Infineon in late June. Watkins Glen may be a little tougher with the more high speed turns. He sure can finesse a car to death, I didn't see him do one curb hop like we see so many Americans do these days. Was the late wreck his fault?? I don't think so, he tried to back out of there by evidence of his late tire lockup once he saw Pruett chopping him off. Bad move on Pruett's part, spotter should have told him Montoya was there. No reason to whine like he did afterwards, grow up dude, you got beat by your own stupidity for trying to chop off a faster car. That faster car just happens to be one of the best drivers in the world behind the wheel who is known for those bonzai moves. I was not surprised to see Montoya do so well yesterday. He showed huge potential on the road courses a few years ago when he did that car swap with Jeff Gordon at Indy's road course. He was only a tenth off Gordon's best lap for his first time in a stock car.
Just for you Logger, Ambrose came home 8th after being spun out late while battling for 5th place with 2 laps to go. Somehow he got back up to 8th place in the final sprint to the line.
