Hey Bill!
Excellent point! Here's another thing to ponder....if Buckshot Jones (also
in a Dodge) hadn't have gotten loose in turn 2 trying to stay on the lead
lap, we might not have had a Dodge winner. Tony was looking very strong. Or,
looking even further back at Steve Park (Welcome Back Steve!!) with his
Chebby was huge at the beginning.
It's a fun sport to watch! I also drive the simulator, Nascar4 from Papyrus.
What a blast as we are driving the same schedule as the WC. It's really fun
to experience the tracks then watch them attack it.

Not to take anything away from Sterling, and I certainly like Dodge to win,
but I want to clear up a misconception.
Yes Sterling started 43rd because of an engine change. And yes he came to
the front. However, remember that he originally qualifed 11th. Even though
he started 43rd, he still got to keep that original pit stall. So once he
got towards the front of the pack, it was really as if he had started up
there anyway.
It's not like he qualified 43rd, got the worst pit box, and had to keep
coming from the rear throughout the race.
Like I said, I'm glad he won but, because of his original pit position, it's
not like he was taking a huge chance swapping motors and starting at the
rear.
