Live from the Seneca Lodge Bar

In my opinion the race at Chicagoland was a total SNOOZEfest until the last 10 laps.
When it gets down to the wire and teams are racing for positions and points, that's when the racing really gets exciting.
It's funny because I think Chicago is a track that drivers love. In some aspects I can understand that. There are multiple grooves, the track is really wide and it's not the usual boring 2 miler.
From this fans perspective...tons of laps of green flag racing can put you to sleep! I watched more of the World Cup final yesterday than I did of the race.
That's the new NASCAR for ya..zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Anyway, to the issue of the moment and thank GOD there was one or we'd have nothing to talk about today. Jeff Gordon "spinning out" Matt Kenseth.
The powers that be in the yellow truck did the right thing by not flagging Jeffy. He obviously had the better car, was being blocked and had no other way to pass that 17 thing.
Think back folks, Dale Sr did this ALL the time but he was considered intimidating...not a cheater. (okay, maybe not to EVERYbody)
So which is right?
Kenseth was going to run out of fuel anyway..which he stated himself so he wouldn't have taken the checkers. Race somebody for the lead but don't block them. I bet he wasn't happy when David Stremme pulled the same thing on him on the last lap...he got the position but ended up with a mangled race car!
And to the "classy" fans who threw beer bottles out on the track during Jeffy's victory lap. I have to wonder if you would've done the same thing if it were Junior or Tony or even Jeff Burton.
Just something to think about..although I doubt any of those fans have the intellect to take that into consideration. And they wonder why people think this sport is nothing but rednecks...
