Those that watched the Shootout last night saw what I think are a sign of things to come.
First off, it was great to hear the sound of 800 horsepower singing again. I got goose bumps hearing the first lap in surround sound for the first time since late November. Watching Jr. take the lead on lap 7 and all the great racing was a good sign for Jr. fans. I think he has a chip on his shoulder to show Teresa that he is a better driver than racing personality, as she said. Plus seeing the Hendicks guys running together is a bad sign for the rest of the field.
It was also nice to see Smoke and the other Toyota drivers finally flex some muscle to show that they will be contenders in the 500 this year. If they can contend on the short and intermediate tracks will be the big question to answer. All in all, I think it was a great start to the season.
Qualifying today , the Twin 125's on Thursday, and the 500 on Sunday makes this an exciting week for a NASCAR fan. I think this is going to be a great year. What about you?
