Bristol
So what did you think?
Dustin Long rounds up a bunch of Web-pinions here. (Dustin's take is here.) It's what you'd expect. Some folks liked the racing. Others hated the lack of wrecks.
My take? The new surface takes some of the chance out of it. The rap against running at Bristol so close to the Chase is that it was a crap shoot whether you'd get through it intact. Last Saturday night, the best cars ran at the front, and the worst cars didn't. What's wrong with that?
On another note: How did Bill Davis Racing land Jacques Villeneuve? And does Villeneuve know that Davis is essentially a one-car team that sometimes builds a second car from the spare parts from its first? I'm still scratching my head over that one.

Unfortunately BDR is the home of the used up racers. Villeneuve kind of disappeared for the last 10 years. I wish it wasn't this way because BDR is Guilford County's "home" based team.
I thought the racing was great. The Busch race became another "Heidi Bowl" with our boy Leffler going for the win and my TV goes blank. I thought the race had switched to ESPN2, or Classic or News or ESPNU. I was unaware someone accidently pulled the plug.

I'm glad to see Bill Davis welcoming the French-speaking former F1 Champ (and his gay lover) to Nascar. I look forward to bumping into Jacque (and his companion) down at the Dog House and at other High Point hotspots (Hooters, probably).
John, I'm hearing Perrier will be the sponsor when Jacques makes the move to Cup.

So does that make Dave Blaney Ricky Bobby?

Shake and bake, baby!

The HP hotspots I'm partial to are Alex's House and Jimmy's Pizza House.
As far as Jacques and his companion, what can we say other than Harry Hoag's old line about "Rubbin' is racin'."
