I’d be willing to bet that the drivers are heartily sick of California and more than ready to go home, even though they’ve hardly raced a lap. First it’s the rain delays, then red flag delay while they clean up the track from accidents. Many drivers are complaining about the track conditions. I somehow doubt the Nationwide race will be run tonight, even if they eventually are able to complete the Sprint race.

Isn’t it interesting that we did not hear race winner Ryan Newman’s name mentioned during race week as a potential winner?  Winning the 50th running of the Daytona 500 was a fantastic way to end his long dry spell.

Of all the Hendrick’s cars, only Junior fared well.  I certainly hope that is just a fluke and not an indication of future problems.  Gordon was running well, though, until he had that suspension issue.

It certainly was an interesting start to this 2008 season.
