Umm, Yeah, Go Matt Kenseth (Yawn)

Something about a Matt Kenseth victory manages to immediately wipe away most of my short-term memory of the actual race and causes less-than-excitement within my bosom. I mean, Matt’s a decent enough guy, and I don’t root against him. But I also don’t root for him, so every time he wins my reaction is always “Yeah, yeah, let’s get to the next race.”
As far as “highlights” from California Speedway, man that was a hard lick that David Reutimann took. Pretty hard to watch the in-car camera footage, too, especially at first when he was slumped over the steering wheel, not even moving.
Congrats to Brian Vickers for getting Toyota its first top 10 finish and for leading a few laps along the way.
‘Tis a shame that Happy had a tire go down there at the end, as it was shaping up to be another close finish the way he’d been reeling Kenseth in right before the last caution.
It’ll be interesting to see just how “part-time” Mark Martin’s schedule remains throughout the season, especially if he continues to sit near the top of the points standings. He can claim all he wants that he’ll stick to the plan of driving a limited schedule, but I’d bet you more than a few shiny American dollars that all of that will go out the window if he’s still in the hunt. And I don’t think anyone would blame him a bit if he waffled, especially given how well he’s running so far.
