Hello race fans! Well, NASCAR survived another race at the famed Indianapolis Motor Speedway and though it wasn't as storied as last year's tire fiasco, it didn't go without some controversy. This time it was Juan Pablo Montoya's pit road speeding incident. Now, I have to admit, at first I was like "What! That's crazy!" But, after watching it again, I thought it really looked like he was going faster than he should have been. I'm sure in the heat of the moment, he got a little over anxious and, was concentrating so hard on not making a mistake, he did exactly that! I felt bad for him, his team, sponsors and his fans. How cool would that have been to have a driver win both the Indy 500 and the Brickyard 400! I guess it just wasn't meant to be. Maybe next year.

Speaking of Indy, I can't help but talk about the ongoing Danica Patrick story. I have to admit that I have been a fan of hers ever since she came into the Indy Racing League series. I think she has what it takes to be a great driver in that series, however, I'm not sure making the move to NASCAR is the right place for her yet. I see how the former open wheel drivers (Montoya, Hornish, Speed) struggle and how only recently, one driver (Montoya) has finally started to look like a Chase contender. It took him several years to get to this point. If Danica does decide she wants to make the move to NASCAR, I hope she knows that it will take a lot of hard work and determination, and most importantly a lot of patience. She would need hours of seat time, which would include running both the Camping World Truck Series and the Nationwide Series. I think she could be successful at it, but it would take the right team and the right equipment to make it happen. Whatever she decides, I will support her and wish her the best.

Now, on to Pocono (my home track) for what should be another great race. Good luck to everyone and have a safe race! Also, feel free to post your comments on here. I would love to hear what you have to say, whether it's about last week's race, the upcoming one, or any subject you would like to talk about. I will be adding some pictures in the near future of races I attend so that you can enjoy them too!

See you at the races!
