Not To Brag Or Anything...
...but I came within one lap at The Glen of going four-for-four on predictions this weekend. Okay...maybe you don't have to be Nostradamus to pick Bourdais to win a Champ Car race or Tiger to win a major but still...The rootin', tootin', rip-snortin' Nextel Cup race at The Glen was the best show of them all by far. NASCAR's coverage on ESPN is lamentable...but the product on the track has never been better. On any given weekend, you're liable to see something during a Cup race that's going to blow your mind and hook you for life. Today's race had it all...a lot of fender bending, unbelievable passing moves (not always on the asphalt, BTW), a good old-fashioned scrap, and a race being decided on the last lap by one of the greatest drivers ever simply biffing it up and making an unforced error. Congratulations to Tony Stewart for being the last man standing at the end.

I still have my reservations about the COT but man, are they absolutely awesome on the road courses or what? Best Glen race in years!
While we all hoped that the COT would be racey, who knew it would be this durable? I had visions of busted splitters and broken-off wings all over the place when I first heard the COT would debut at Bristol. It's solid as a brick. It looks like a cousin to the Australian V8 Supercars and it's construction lends itself to that same kind of demolition derby, touring car-style racing. I'm sold.
