Kurt Busch Is King!!
By Mark Young
Well my fellow blog-heads Kurt Busch completely dominated the triangle known as Pocono yesterday. I wondered if the other drivers had restrictor plates on or something he was so fast. The victory puts him in the Chase....for now s he is only 7 points ahead of Dale Junior. I think that Kurt's worst running position, with the exception of cycling through green flag pit stops, was 9th. The Miller Lite Dodge has been running very well of late and I think we should get used to hearing Kurt's name called on Sunday because this team could be peaking at just the right time to help lock them into the Chase.
Pocono was typical in my opinion. I was able to get things done around the house and check it every ten minutes or so and found that very little had happened. I give a good deal of credit to ESPN because I saw improvement over last week's production. They have a long way to go to get back on top of the broadcast world where they were years ago but I am seeing things to give me hope.
On we go to Watkins Glen International and another road course, will Robby Gordon be allowed to drive this week? Will we see fireworks, confusion, and stupidity this week like we did in Canada? Time will tell my friends.
What do you think?

Mark,
Kurt definitely won the day and deserves the crown. Jr should get an honorable mention for the spin and the subsequent pit work that got him up to second.
Wasn't much of a race, but that's Poconap. Only the well spaced cautions, added to the ridiculous, but convenient, "tape in turn 3 caution," kept it from being even more boring.
The coverage was solid. Draft Track, however, get's more and more irritating as they seem to want to use it for every event on the track. DT was displayed more than some of the cars that were running. Candy is good. Eating the whole bag at once is not so good.

No question about this. The 2 car was clearly the class of the field.
Junior showed what he and his team can do under pressure.
The rest of the finishing grid contained the usual suspects with a few exceptions. Good to see casey Mears continue to rise and be in contention each race.
It ws fun to watch Rudd and Elliott dice with one another late in the race. Even though it was only for position, it still showed that they have that competitive drive.
Keith, I got a nap betweeen lap 40 and 85. At my age, if they don't start earlier (flag at 1pm) and have more action packed races, I'll probably miss the whole thing.
Congratulations to Kurt Bush, King of France Mountain.
