Michael Waltrip Racing (MWR): Despite his DNF Sunday night, and David Reutimann’s accident, they have made
the last 6 races, qualifying in the top 25 most of the time. With the impending addition of Joe Gibbs Racing to Toyota, the tide
could be turning for MWR.
Unimpressive:
Jeff Gordon: Three out of the last four races he has been in an accident. Not since his rookie year has Gordon
had this many problems. Not sure what the problem is but this time his mistake cost David Reutimann a possible top ten and
could cost Ricky Rudd the rest of his short career (Rudd separated his shoulder in the accident). But since these races don’t
count for Gordon, look for him to get the eye of the tiger when the playoffs start.
California Motor
Speedway: I have never really liked racing out there, but one race a year was good enough, the seats were full, races
sold out, but since they now have two races a year, no one bothers to show up, besides racing on Labor Day weekend should
be at Darlington. I miss the Southern 500… it was the best.
