Charlotte Motor Speedway - Dollar General 300
RACE WINNER: JEFF BURTON
Our Boys Running Order:
3. Dale Jr. (started 26th)
12. David (started 8th)
13. Scott (started 19th)
This track just about gives me a heart attack during every race now and it didn’t help that Junebug was driving like an insane person all night and adding to my potential cardiac arrest! He nearly wrecked Jeff Burton at the end of the race but I suppose I can’t complain too much because it all worked out in the end and no cars spun off Junior’s front bumper. Generally I’ve noticed a change in his driving style in the past few weeks…he’s much more aggressive and a bit more reckless. I know he wants to win another race at DEI (not to mention a race this season), so I can’t be hard on him, but he’s scaring me with all his wild moves.
David didn’t have the excellent night everyone expected due to an early-race brush with the wall, but the Dream Machine crew did a wonderful job fixing the car up again and David raced his way back to the top 15. According to his post-race interview he was an “idiot”, but I think most of the blame should have been directed toward a horrible track, since he was in the company of other “idiots” such as Jimmie Johnson (who, by the way, is a Cup champion) and Clint Bowyer, neither of which were talented enough to save their cars – like David did – and also took out many of their fellow competitors with them – which David did not do. Don’t be so hard on yourself, David!
Scott also didn’t have the night he had hoped for in his last run in the 21 car.
But looking at the results and noting how many have the word “accident” as their status, I’m glad my boys survived and all finished in the top 20. I don’t think “beast” is a cruel enough word for Charlotte…maybe something like “demon” would suffice…
David’s Points:
1. Carl Edwards --
2. David -638 behind leader
3. Kevin Harvick -115 behind David
