Sitting in the stands this past Sunday, I had the unfortunate dishonor of watching grown adults pelting Talladega Superspeedway with cans of beer. I wasn't even going to bring this up, but then I heard about a seven-year-old girl who got hit in the face with a full can of beer and had to get eight stitches.
Now I know y'all heard me make this rant just two days ago, but if NASCAR can do two takes of "one attempt," then so can I. Now I do wish I had waited until today to start talking on the matter because I have more evidence to support my claim.
The motto for the 24 team in the Challenger Round struck me as simply "survive and advance." While he had a dominant car at Chicagoland, he was a 10th-place car at best in Loudon and Dover. Now that Gordon has moved on to the Contender Round, he'll find the track lineup of Charlotte, Kansas and Talladega to his advantage.
