1st NASCAR Win -Joey Logano NHMS LENOX301

LOUDON, NH - JUNE 28:  Crew Chief Greg Zippade...Image by Getty Images via Daylife

I want to congratulate Joey Logano & his Home Depot #20 Team with their very first NASCAR Sprint Cup win, with the rookie at the wheel, for Loudon NH, Lenox Industrial Tools 301 Race at NHMS. Joe Gibbs Racing must be so proud of the Home Depot Team led by Crew Chief, Greg Zipadelli in the rain shortened race. There were over 10 cautions during this race. Do you remember the races held here were no more than follow the leader, when you had time between laps to visit the concessions and return and not miss any action? Double file restarts, pit stop strategy, & fuel management surely have sparked much excitement. This just may be the boost NASCAR needs to attain what it had in the past. NASCAR was and will be the #1 spectator sport in the world. Slumping ticket sales and the decline of sponsor donations have been of great concern with all the teams. This is a family spectator sport that has endured this kind of difficulty before.

I want to reflect back several years ago when I had the opportunity to know and be a part of an amateur racing team with a young driver, (who we'll call RZ). He had so much spirit and drive, much of what i can see in Joey Logano. RZ would, with us, maintain and build his own race cars with a mock crew of close friends, his son, & myself. He was a driving force inspiring me and the rest of the team. We had little or no money to perform any of these tasks. We somehow found a way with RZ as our inspiration. RZ had a dream to become a professional driver. I have since lost touch with him but I hope he succeeds. Although I have not had the opportunity to meet the Home Depot Team, I do believe I can see that same kind of desire & determination in Joey Logano.

What about running these races in the rain...??? I get that question over and over from peeps not familiar with Stock Car Racing. I ask, what about Professional Baseball? I just tell them to read up ... look at Goodyear Tire Co. http://bit.ly/sHr6Z .

NASCAR, JEREMY MAYFIELD, DRUGS, UNIONS??

I am sitting here wolfing some chow just trying to figure out what's in the minds of NASCAR with their drug policy & banned substances. I, by no means am condoning the actions of Jeremy Mayfield. I do agree with NASCAR's action in dealing with the offense. But where does NASCAR get off with having a total drug restriction. (Oh they clarified that with 'only medication prescribed by a physician') That makes it OK. I mean, aspirin is a drug; also many other legal pain meds and symptom relievers, I guess they are all banned. NASCAR racing is a dangerous sport. There is no dispute with that. Many over the counter drugs can affect ones ability to function in one way or the other. They must implement a policy similar to US Professional Sports Organizations such as NBA, MLB, NHL, NFL, & so many others, TNTC. Each one has a list of banned substances with penalties assigned to them. Is NASCAR exempt?? They are more concerned about pit "SPEED"!!! Ooops; did I just say SPEED??? I guess if you have a headache one day; you just suffer! O just suffer NASCAR's wrath as they see fit.
I’m not so sure about a drivers' union? That’s a subject for another day.
