NASCAR

As I recover from a nasty METS loss, and I anxiously await a RED SOX victory as they sweep the dirt outta FENWAY, I find myself watching NASCAR on Fox. Yea folks this city girl is also a devote NASCAR fan. So today was the big race at Talledega, Alabama. A track that fans know as "THE BIG ONE" for it is the biggest track in the NASCAR world.

All I can say is thank goodness for the new safer barriers that were recently installed cuz the tracks alias also refers to the many wrecks that occur on that asphalt. Today's race true to form was an intense one. Complete with lots of big crashes. The most devastatin perhaps was the one with 10 to go there was about a 15 car crash. So they restarted with 4 to go, at which point Carl Edwards made the move from 9th to 1, only to have Brad Keselowski spin him out just yards from the finish. Edwards' car went airborne flipped twice into the restraining fences just missing flying into the crowd. i held my breath, and exhaled once Edwards walked out of the car and proceeded to walk across the finish line. So under the official stadings Edwards finished 24th status running... literally RUNNING.
