One thing for sure, the race at NHIS was incorrectly named, "The Seimens 300" !!!!!!!
Seimens hardly got mentioned, but Budweiser sure did. I think a more appropriate title would have been;
"The Dale Earnhardt, Jr, / Budweiser / Truax, Jr. 300".
With post race interviews of Dale Earhardt, Jr., MartinTruax, Jr., and the Budweiser Clydesdales brought to you by NASCAR and TNT.
The pre-race show began with ten minutes of explaining Juniors serious injuries, a lengthy explanation of getting an injured driver in and out of a car during a caution.
It did not end there as further information was provided about Martin Truax, Jr., and how quickly he could get into a car.
For all of one millisecond, the flash back of how quickly a testosterone charged youth of seventeen could hop in the back seat of a 1955 Ford Fairlane Club Sedan came to mind but was quickly dispelled for the foolishness of the thought. The situation truly did need some humor by this time.
Still it did not end. The topic continued into the regular programing and extended into supposition of how well Truex, Jr. might do after taking the wheel, and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on.
Well you get the idea.
People who own television sets are really fortunate to have the opportunity to watch programs with the word "entertainment" in the title as there are many choices availible now with the newly added feature of the Earnhardt Entertainment Races brought to you by NASCAR and TNT.
In all fairness to the seriousness of the injuries to Junior, they deserve to brought to the forefront of the events of the day.
There were other stories that take place and were touched on lightly before the cameras rushed back to give us three or four laps of Junior driving while the comentators offered their opinions of his discomfort.
Give Junior deserved coverage for his injuries and grit.
Don't make it the entire race.
Not with 42 others on the track surface.
Was there any mention of Carl Long?? How about Ted Christopher other than the obligatory "he won yesterday with the help of his brother". Any remarks on Kevin Lepage?? Morgan Shepard ?? Hermie Sadler ?? Or Jimmy Spencer ?? Sorry about that. Jimmy led three laps, ahem, under caution, and finished 23rd. Not note worthy for an unsponsored car.
On another topic, what's with this deal between Stewart and Kahne ??? Will the reporters ever let it go ??? Why oh why do they insist on bringing it up every time they meet these two. How many times do they need to hear about the "phone tag" deal?? Anyone with a modicum of thoughts process must know as close as the motorhomes are parked to one another, if they REALLY wanted to talk to one another, it ain't hard. Cell phones ?? Phone tag ?? IMO, the line "we keep missing each other", is plain bulldroppings. Kasey is bland and TOny sez, "I diodn't do anything wrong". ( YAWN )
NHIS was an interesting race. not much in the lead change department but there was plenty of good racing in the remainder of the field.
Can't wait for next week at Pocono since just plain ole curiousity makes me wonder if the saga will continue on the "Earnhardt Entertainment Network".
