MR. BACKFLIP WINS...AGAIN

Carl Edwards did another backflip yesterday after another win - his third this season. The #99 team is the class of the field so far this season. Afterwards, Edwards said they wanted to make a statement after the California oil tank cover incident.
On the opposite end of the spectrum, Jeff Gordon - 43rd yesterday...talk about embarrassing. Junior fans had high hopes after winning the pole, but Junior faded as the afternoon wore on.
I'm sure by now you've seen the wreck that Michael MacDowell walked away from in qualifying. If there was ever a commercial for the COT and how much safety is improved, that was it....amazing.
Gotta dump on Fox for a sec...the end of the race was a disaster, as the announcers were describing a wreck involving Clint Bowyer while camera were focused on Carl Edwards in-car reaction...It would be nice to see the first 10 or so finishers before switching away from the finish line. I'm not the only person who noticed...fans have been screaming about this at a great blog I recommend about NASCAR coverage....The Daly Planet.

Get ready for a Saturday night race at Phoenix...

Tripp,

Thanks for the mention. We certainly feel the same way you do. Maybe with a little feedback, Fox will chance its ways at the finish line. Thanks again,
