Sorry For The Delay...........Anyway Whats Up With DW?

its taking some getting use to that we are back in racing season.....

Anyway, as you can guess i have something more to say about ole, Darrell Waltrip.

During the Daytona 500 he was of course talking about the person i hate the most, Danica Patrick, well while explaining how racing in Nascar would make her a better IZOD Indy Car driver, he brought up how Dario Franchitti has become a better IZOD Indy Car driver after he raced in Nascar.

I was literally yelling at my TV screen when i heard this because i thought that Dario was a good Open Wheel driver before he came to Nascar, i mean he won the Indy Car championship in 2007 (thats the year BEFORE he came to Nascar DW), as well as 18 wins, and 68 top fives and 104 top tens. So all that sounds to me like he was a good open wheel driver before he came to Nascar.

After hearing Darrell say that i'm starting to think that he doesn't pay attention to things that go around outside of Nascar because even i knew Dario was a good driver before he came to nascar AND I DON'T EVEN LIKE OPEN WHEEL RACING!!!

I hate to say it but i believe Fox should replace Darrell with someone who is a little more, how do i say it, "INFORMED" about the other racing series other then Nascar.

Stay Tune Tomorrow for The Goose Awards for the Nascar Sprint Cup Series.

Danica or Junior, whose the one that is going to breathe new life into Nascar?

Back in December when it was announced that Danica Patrick was going to be running in a select number of Nascar Nationwide events, people where saying that she was going breathe new life into the sport and save it from the downturn of falling attendance and falling TV ratings. In other words the savior of the sport.

Well you can bet i was surprised when i saw This Article on Nascar.com by David Caraviello which states that some people are wondering how many victories Junior will need to breathe new life into Nascar.

But wait, isn't Danica suppose be, according to some Nascar's "Wonder Woman"?

Now i know that article is Mr. Caraviello opinion, but could have sworn back in December he said that Danica was going to save Nascar.

How can two people both be the person to breathe new life into Nascar?

What to be apart of a NASCAR Sprint Cup Fantasy Group?

if you want to play Fantasy Auto Racing on Yahoo!, do i have a group for you to join. the Group is called Nascar East Division.

It was set up for only people who live in the North East of the USA, but if you want to join shoot me an E-mail at Truewildgoose@gmail.com and title it "I want to join" and i'll get you into the group.

Has Danica Patrick Proved Anything To You?

The answer to that is a simple no, she hasn't proved to me that she can drive a stock car.

Now for those of you that believe that she has proven that i say, that's nice that you think that. There are some of you that will say that i should look at where she finished, and i know that she finished in 6th which is respectable for a rookie.

But what gets me is, and i believe almost everyone has forgotten, is that she raced in a 80 LAP ARCA race. Now sure the race was at the famed Daytona International Speedway and it was 200 miles, but considering that The Sprint Cup is 500 miles and 200 laps, The Nationwide Series is 300 miles and 120 laps, The Camping World Truck Series is 250 miles and 100 laps. The ARCA race seams smaller compared to the Nascar races huh?

I mean i bet you could put a Monkey in a ARCA car and it could spin out and still come back to finish sixth.

Now i mean no disrespect to all the ARCA drivers by saying a monkey could probably driver a one of their race cars, i have the up most respect for Frank Kimmel, Bobby Gerhart, Alli Owens, Patrick Sheltra, and the countless other drivers in the series.

I needed a way to point out to you readers that for a driver who races in the IZOD Indy Car Series, where they go that far on most of the road courses the race on, and race almost the same amount of laps as a Nascar race at their oval races, then an 80 lap ARCA race shouldn't be a problem.

Now if Danica hadn't raced in a race car, including a IZOD Indy Car and still finished 6th, then i would be impressed and would probably agree that she has proven that she can drive a stock car.

Now sure the ARCA race at Daytona is one where a driver could use for practice or to get a kind f test, but it ISN'T one in my opinion to use for proven oneself. Why, because you teams in that series who are serious about that series, and have almost no money, and they just want to win a championship.

Now, some of you are probably saying well the Nascar Nationwide series and Sprint Cup series are the same way, and you may be right, but there is one BIG difference.

The Nascar Sprint Cup and Nationwide Series get NATIONAL coverage by FOX, TNT, ESPN, and ABC. That not only means that they, they are Marketed heavily by those networks, but can be seen not only Millions of fans across the country or even the world, but they are also seen by potential sponsors. That means that even the smallest, barley funded team, if they run well enough or get spoken about enough, can find a sponsor.

But ARCA is only seen on SPEED, a sister channel to FOX, but its only marketed on that channel and i doubt any potential sponsors would be watching that channel, they aren't getting noticed as much as a Nascar Sprint Cup Team, or Nascar Nationwide Series team would be.

So if Danica were to have wrecked another car in the ARCA race, which she came close to almost doing when she was doing a "great job" at avoiding Dakoda Armstrong (but i doubt anyone besides me saw that), they would lose hundreds if not thousands having to either rebuilding the car, building a new one, or buying a new one for a Nascar team; which could spell the end of that team because unlike most Nascar teams that have the money to rebuild or build a new race car, some ARCA team don't.

So sorry Kelly Earnhardt, Danica may have in your words "proved to everyone that she can compete in stock cars at a high level" to you, you brother, and cousin, as well as her millions of fans; but she hasn't proven anything to me.

The end of Budweiser Shootout could have been a scene from Days Of Thunder?

Well thats how Darrell Waltrip described it after the last lap wreck of Greg Biffle.

This time i agree with DW, Biffle's wreck was something out of a move, not because he turned sideways without sowing any signs that it was going to happen moments before, but because his wreck almost took out all the remaining cars that was behind him.

Now sure there were drivers that were behind him like, Joey Logano, Tony Stewart, and Dale Jr got through without a scratch.

But for just one moment there, when Greg went sideways and the smoke went flying, i saw a wreck that i surely thought could take out all the cars that were behind him at that time.

So maybe for a few of us the end of the Budweiser Shootout did look like it could have been a scene from a movie.

Does Darrel Waltrip and Phil Parsons have a double standard?

While watching todays ARCA Racing Series Presented by ReMax and Menards race at Daytona, i came across something interesting.

Now some of you may not agree with me, or may say that i misunderstood what was said, well to all of you that say or think that i have one thing to say. GET YOUR OWN BLOG!!!

This is my blog and i'll say what i believe and what not. If i made a mistake with a fact, then you can say something about what i wrote.

Well anyway, after a early wreck, i believe it happen around lap twenty or so, involving the Number 22 of Dakoda Armstrong and the Number 81 of Craig Goess who are both rookies in the series. Darrell Waltrip, who was one of the three men in the SPEED Booth, and Phil Parsons started to got on Goess case because, after Armstrong was bumped by John Wes Townley while he was losing his right rear tire and sent up the race track, he made a last minute move to try and avoid Armstrong's car but instead hit the Number 22.

Waltrip and Parsons said that even know Goess was a rookie, that he should have known that if a car goes up the track at Daytona it would have to come back down. They would later admit that he did try to go low to avoid the number 22, but did it to late. In other words it was a normal rookie Mistake.

A Commercial break later, and while the field was under caution, Pit Reporter Wendy Venturini gave a report about how Danica Patrick had studied tapes of past races at Daytona that involved accidents like the one that unfolded to being out the caution. Waltrip and Parsons praised her for doing so, though she did according to them later on in the broadcast sustained some damage in the accident, and said how rookies and drivers with no experience should do the same.

Now thats not what got me mad and claiming that the Speed broadcasters, well more like Waltrip and Parsons has a double standard for regular rookies and Danica. While commenting about how Danica studied tapes either Parsons or Waltrip, i think it was Waltrip, said that rookies and drivers with no experience should be giving some slack when they do something wrong.

HELLO, about five minutes before you were getting on the case of a rookie who had made a ROOKIE MISTAKE, and now you are saying that they should be giving some slack?

What gives?

Since they were talking about Danica at the time, i guess DW was trying to say that if Danica makes a mistake or does something wrong it ok because she is a rookie, but if any OTHER ROOKIE makes a mistake or does something wrong they should have known better.

Can anyone else smell that Waltrip and Parsons has a double standard for Danica and other rookies.
