I've only really thought one "race" was fixed. That was when Junior dominated to win the first race back at Daytona since his daddy died. That car was so much faster than any other car on the track there was NO WAY that was not fixed. Other than that, I am not convinced. But once they did that, I don't doubt anything from them.
Petty's 200th win was pretty fishy too. 4th of July, Ronald Reagan in attendance, Petty a long-time Republican, plus the fact that he hadn't exactly been setting the woods on fire for a few years.
Junior's win at Daytona after his father died there was so obvious. Spencer even said that every driver there was told they were racing for second as they unloaded. Proof enough for me.
Junior is NOT that good. If he was, he'd be good everywhere else too. He has an advantage, and anyone with eyes and objectivity knows what it is. Anyone who watched WC racing before 1980 knows what it is. It's the latest chapter in a lifelong love affair between Bill France and a certain manufacturer.
Say what you like. I've been there, done that, and know what I have seen. Any "concrete" proof is non-existant. But I offer this. Do any of YOU have concrete proof that he's 100% legal? Do you have concrete proof that the sun came up this morning? No, you just know what you saw, right? Do you have concrete proof that man has ever been on the moon, or could those who think that it was staged and was actually a movie set be right?
The boy's illegal, we all know it, he knows it, the drivers know it. He won't win today, he'll blow it like he always does. Real racing starts next week, just suffer through this farce today, hope everyone survives it, mute Jaws, and sit tight. This rolling Bud commercial is almost over, and he can fade back to 27th where he usually is next week.
