SCREW you channel 2 you got what you deserved! Did I stay up and watch the race, you bet and did it kick ass! Oh man did it ever! Little E who has not won a race this year dominated the race stem to stern almost... with only a few (12) laps left there was a wreck and a of course a restart that caught Earnhardt behind a handfull of drivers it was a double wide restart so he was really like being in 14th. Two laps later Jeffery went kablooey and they restarted single file with Earnhardt in 6th... within 2 laps he passed everyone for the lead again, but Bobby Labonte and Tony Stewart, who are teamates, were right behind him and should have been able to draft by him. Step in Michael Waltrip... yep the winner last time they were there. MW had not been at the front the whole race but there he was... and what did he do? ... Flash back to the Daytona 500 in February MW in 1st and Little E in 2nd, Big E in 3rd and running a blockade to protect 1 and 2, Little E stayed in line and protected MW and Waltrip won the race. So now here we are Earnhardt in 1st and Waltrip in Second and the Gibbs cars right behind that... MW's bumper might as well have been 3 cars wide as he blocked like the best of them and Little E took it on home... A donut or two later in the infield and E was joined by MW where they proceeded to celebrate on the tops of the cars and where the all the pit crews rushed them like a mob of soccer hooligans... Little E even body surfed the crowd! You could not have scripted a better ending, this was the best race ending I have seen this year... sure there have been closer races but with all the emotions involved... wow the legacy lives! Oh and on top of that a big screw you to channel 2 you won't get a better race this year HA!

Let me take this time to say how cool Chrysler/Dodge is, I have been getting an intermitant check engine light in my truck(Dodge) and with a few turns of the key it will tell me what the problem is... try that in a your Ford or Chevy! HA! Not without a $150 computer or $30(min) trip to the garage! As I found out recently ... we also own a Ford Explorer.
