Rocketman does it again and a great finish in the Craftsman Truck Series
Woohoo! Ryan Newman did it again. I admit it, I had my doubts that he wasn't going to get the pole since he went out third out of fifty drivers, but he put down a hot lap and got his fifth consecutive Atlanta pole and the twenty-ninth pole of his career. Way to go Ryan! Hopefully he'll be able to turn that into a win or at least a top-five on Sunday.
On to the truck race. I have to say that the Speed Channel does so much better in covering racing throughout the pack than any of the major networks do with the Cup races. They showed racing for fifth and sixth positions and even showed racing for positions like fourteenth and fifteenth, wish FOX and NBC would have coverage like that. And that finish! Down to the wire finish, side by side racing for the win with Ron Hornaday Jr. and Bobby Labonte, now that's racing!
Hopefully the Busch and Cup races can at least come close to being as exciting.

Shouldn't Nascar address the safty issue that was breached in victory circle when Hornaday did the burn-out? Seems that was quite dangerous to me with all the people standing around. Nascar is always talking safty but has not memtioned this incident. they should fine him and take away points also.

I really enjoy the truck races, reminds me of the old days when they raced real cars, instead of Common templates, the trucks really put on a Great show
