It's not even technically over yet, and I'm already mourning the 2005 NASCAR season. But, now that I ponder that a moment longer, not that much. Let's just put this one past us, shall we?
My mom told me the SpeedChannel is gonna try to entertain us in the off-season, with racing related movies, like this...
Yeah, like that's gonna help. Ok, well maybe that one might, but the others? Not so much.
Congrats to Martin Truex Jr. on his 2nd championship, for comin' from the back twice and for bein' the 2nd in the DEI family to achieve two-peat championship sweetness in the Busch Series.
Best of luck to Tony Stewart in today's Cup race.
About 95 days to go 'til Speedweeks 2006 and lots of changes to implement before then.
