There is something about TALLADEGA that brings a renewal to the season for me , i'm not sure what it is but this year i started  thinking about the race as soon as kansas was over, of course it was a race where my favorite driver did very well earlier this year and that may have  something to do with it.

It may also be the fact that i have this idea in my head, go figure, that in an automobile race there should be actual racing, folks should be passing other folks, agree? I don't want to beat this subject to death but in my opinion it has been boring the last four weeks. I took an hour nap during the Kansas race and when I woke up just about all had the same track positions.

What i love about Talladega is RACING, running four wide, two or three deep, bumper to bumper, drafting, finding a buddy who can push you to the front and at the same time  got to watch out that he doesn't hang you out to dry and of course waiting for the "BIG ONE" and hoping your driver is not  in the middle of it. All that anticipation will keep me from my nap this week .

I really did not know why I loved Talladega when I wrote the first two paragraphs of this rambling, the third paragraph, honestly, wrote itself, I was probably possessed by a Talladega ghost or spirit.
