The most dominant car ever
Maybe it's overstatement, but it's a pretty darned accurate way to describe Jeff Gordon's car yesterday at Talladega. Gordon could drive that thing wherever he wanted. Another driver passed him, Gordon passed him right back with a vengeance. And not since Dale Earnhardt himself raced at Talladega have I seen a car as wide as the No. 24.
Absolutely stunning.
As for the rest of it, it was typical Talladega: A lot of jockeying for position and one big bad wreck. My take on Talladega: I love the racin', but I hate the wreckin'.
If you want to hear more about yesterday's race, our racing writer, Dustin Long, will be on the local sports-talk radio station (790-AM "The Ball") at 3:25 p.m. today. Listen in.

Beauty's in the eye of the beholder ... ;
As a Junior fan, I can't say I was thrilled to see the No. 24 lead most of that race.
That said, Gordon's performance was beautiful. Guy can sure drive a race car, and he's figured out the plate tracks as well as just about anyone ever has.
