You know, after watching the Modified race yesterday I decided that New Hampshire isn't a terrible track for everything . Just everything that isn't a modified
Also, I traveled to Columbus Motor Speedway last night and watched the K&N East Series race . It was pretty good actually
Daniel Suarez, Dylan Kwasniewski, and Kenzie Ruston were the drivers who really caught my eye this year. In 2011 when I went only Bubba Wallace (Darrell Wallace Jr.) caught my eye. Of course, Kenzie probably wouldn't have caught my eye if she wasn't a woman. She qualified well, but fell back from 4th over the race.
Dylan Kwasniewski was fast all day, but fell back to 3rd. His car just wasn't able to corner as well as the others in the top 3. He qualified on the pole.
Daniel Suarez started 7th on the 1/3 mile Columbus Motor Speedway (it's almost a circle, so passing is DIFFICULT). He made a BOLD move on second place Cale Conley around lap 50 for second (from 7th remember) and ran down Kwasniewski for the lead from a corner behind before the first caution on lap 61. Then, on the restart Suarez took the lead on the outside. Suarez held off the field on 2 late restarts and won the race in his unsposored, plain white Toyota. It was a very clean race despite all of the contact that was happening all around the race track. There were only 3 caution flags in the 150 lap race.
Also, a driver was taken out of his car and onto a strecher in the compacts race that took place earlier in the evening after a hard drivers side impact between turns 1 and 2. He was responding, but taken out in an ambulance.
I did as much research as I could the first time (and last to date) that I voted. I ignored party when looking at the canidates and looked more at what they said and claimed to stand for.
I did vote independant for President, and I did for my House district. I split Democrat and Republican mostly on the rest, but a little more Republican.
I'm hard headed. Even if my vote doesn't change the result of the election, at least I'm working to make an (I) on the ballot a meaningful vote some time in the future..

What do you know? AJ finally put a W in the books Onto another day of NASCAR road racing. I love it
Owens Kelly in the 54 was worse than a young Kyle Busch though.. The Nationwide races on the road are always FULL of inexperiance. If not on road courses, then it's in the cars, and I still don't know what is worse.
