The picture to the left was taken by Denny Hamlin himself. He posted it to his Twitter page, arriving home after winning Sunday’s TUMS Fast Relief 500 at Martinsville, with the caption “Just pulled up at my house.. LOL.” Isn’t that sweet? I love it.
The race itself was fun, and I’m glad Denny won.
I was thinking that I wouldn’t comment on Dale Earnhardt Jr.’s bad, bad luck but I feel like I have to say something. Maybe just for myself? This season has sucked and sucked hard. I don’t place blame or feel the need to point fingers because I truly believe that Hendrick Motorsports is doing everything they can to make Dale Jr. successful. I mean, it’s in everyone’s best interest that he wins. There is nothing to be gained from having an annoying season like this one.
Talladega is next and we all know that’s a track where Dale can excel. So I hope he gets the opportunity to do so, it’ll make that race so much more fun to watch if he’s in it at the end contending for the win.
In terms of the Chase, Talladega has to change the game. It just has to!!! 🙂
