Texas Busch Race

[BobbyFord]

All in all, I thought it was a pretty good race.
Congrats to Kurt on the win but the snowangel was lame and should not become a regular event (and he should get is neck x-rayed).
Was that Keller that ran someone into the grass and almost hammered the field trying to get in for the flat? He should know better than that.
Not happy about the GWC, but it beats finishing under the yellow.

The first half of the race killed Kahne, who had probably a top five or better car. Once he got back on the lead lap, he was always in heavy traffic. Still, he worked and worked. Once they restarted in single file, he could work his car and finished 11th. Another lap and he would have been in the top ten. It's funny how so many cars changed over the entire race. One might have been very fast at one point, but would later fade. Harvick looked to be the best car in the early portion of the race, but at the end was just another car.

Me, I fell asleep and luckily woke up with 32 laps to go. Don't know that I missed much.
