Well obviously someone had to win after the yellow. I just didn't want it to be Gordon. I would have been happy with Kenseth or Newman as well.
I do love Gordon's quote after the race though, if Kenseth is going to take the win from me I'm going to make sure he doesn't win either haha. Did Gordon really not think Kenseth was going to lay the bumper to him with 2 to go? I mean come on, its Martinsville.
I was reading about Jackie Robinson last night, one of my sports heroes. Baseball did not whore the fact 'Oh wow we got a black ballplayer', they let him play (even though the country as a whole was racist).
NASCAR will whore the fact they have a black driver
They won't go too far I believe, as they didn't with Bill Lester in the early 2000's. It's not like he is the first successful, he's just quick and young and I guess his skin color helps get readers. Rather annoying sure, but the only person NASCAR will whore is Danica Patrick.
Was so nice not hearing her name during the broadcasts this past weekend.
Danica in an ARCA race was a huge deal, and that's below trucks. Danica is just a media whore though. I have no problem with this Wallace kid coming to Nascar, and I seriously doubt it will turn into the circus Danica-mania has.
I only watch a couple F1 races a year at most, was it a big deal when Lewis Hamilton started racing? I don't remember anyone making a huge fuss over his skin color.
