Kenseth Wins Wet Daytona
Bob Ellis
Matt Kenseth leads one lap on a big push from Kevin Harvick to take the 43 car field to the red flag, which would eventually turn into a checkered flag when NASCAR determined that the race could not be re-started due to the rain.
I'm all wet!
Congratulations to Kenseth and his Roush-Fenway team – proving that you only need to lead one lap to win a race.
Kenseth wasn’t exactly my pick to win the race on Sunday, I was kind of figuring that his Roush-Fenway teammate Greg Biffle would win – he evntually finished 20th.
In fact, I thought maybe Dale Jr might be able to pull off a win as we all know he is pretty good on restrictor plate tracks, but he instead pulled off the most talked about move of the day – his right turn in Brian Vickers.
I don’t honestly know if it was deliberate or not, I mean didn’t Jr wreck his teammate Michael Waltrip when he slid in front of Jr a few years ago? And you must remember what happened to his father back in 2001, I certainly think he hasn’t forgot about it, and I don’t think he would deliberately put anyone else in that kind of position do you?
With that being said, I think maybe Jr might need to get his eyes checked. He had problems getting into his pitbox all week and then he ‘misjudges’ his re-entry onto the track and takes out Vickers and several other front runners including Kyle Busch.
Speaking of Busch I think he handled himself quite well in his interview, don’t you? I wonder what he would of said if it was anyone else but Jr – say Tony Stewart perhaps?
