"Tony Stewart Over The Top At Daytona!"
There are two things that Tony Stewart didn't lead Saturday Night in Daytona. Lisa Marie Presley's band and the pace car! Just about everything else was watching the back of the #20 Home Depot Chevrolet.
Not only did "Smoke" (btw, a very cool nickname...I should know, my friends call me ashtray or is it butthead?...sumthin like dat!) win the pole for what is now called "The Mid-Summer Classic!" That didn't even start until around10:45pm east coast time. Gosh, you don't think anybody was drunk when that green flag fell do you?
Tony, introduced America to a brand new celebration. Never mind the polish victory lap (Alan Kulwicki), or the backflip (Carl Edwards), or even the "slam your car into the wall doing donuts burnout" (Greg Biffle). Nope, Sir Tony, took a page from the IRL Boys and went right up the fence at the start/finish line.
Not only did he go up the fence to wave at the crowd when the race ended around 2am...but, he went over the top of it, and right into the flagman stand!
And here's the topper, when he finally made it back to the winner's circle, Tony proclaimed: "I'm too damn fat to be climbing a fence!"...funny line!
Earnhardt Junior had a great night, finishing third....Jeff Gordon got that Dupont Chevrolet back in the top ten, and a very excited Rusty Wallace came home forth in his last ride as a full-time Cup driver. You couldn't help but feel for Mark Martin, who ate the wall, after a very unfortunate chain of events following Jeff Gordon's attempt at entering the pits, early in the night.
NBC carried the broadcast, and from the anchor booth, Wally Dallenbach was great! Benny Parsons was informative and funny! and Bill Weber (who really takes himself way too seriously) I believe, during the evening, he should have recieved a call from his proctologist "Hey Bill, we found your head!"...This guy is an idiot!
Chicago is next, another cookie cutter track!
We know every race is important...We know, every point is important...But, could we please calm the hell down, on who's in the chase and who isn't, until at least August!
