Busch race

First, congratulations to Carl Edwards for winning the race and taking over the points lead, he definitely had a great car at the end and moved through the field.

Now, about his famous back-flip.  When he was in the truck series, I thought it was neat, but it needs to stop for safety reasons.  No disrespect to Edwards or his fans, but now that he's driving in not only the Busch Series, but the Cup Series also, shouldn't he stop that?  I mean what if he slips and cracks his head open, hurts his back, or numerous other injuries?  It can happen.  While it may be exciting to see the first few times, or even every time for his fans, I think he needs to curtail it before he gets hurt.  I would hate to see a talented driver get hurt over something like this.

And a big Kudos to Sterling Marlin, who gave up his Busch seat so Sorenson wouldn't miss his hometown race or lose tons of points.  Sorensons car had gear troubles and he never even got to qualify for the race.  Marlin gave up his seat in the #40 Busch car so Sorenson could race.  Sorenson had some troubles, but managed to finish 19th in the race, not bad for not even sitting in that car until the start of the race and he managed to stay 4th in points, although Truex Jr. is only 2 points behind him now.

Hoping to see an exciting Cup race today.
