Pre-Race at Richmond
The image is an up close look at the pole winning car of Denny Hamlin. Hamlin tuned up for tonight's race by winning the Nationwide Series race Friday night, beating Kevin "Happy" Harvick and Kyle Busch, for his first win here at the "Action Track".
Unless there's a big time walkup...it looks as though Richmond won't sell out. Many of the garage area wags weighed in with reasons why. When gas gets north of $3.50 a gallon, and artificial restraints are placed on the market (no drilling for oil in the area of the Alaskan National Wildlife Refuge--"ANWR"--where the existing Alaskan Oil pipeline passes), it's no wonder that disposable income suffers. Those decisions to limit ANWR drilling were not made yesterday. How's about the mid 1990's?
Those chickens (with apologies to Rev. Jeremiah Wright) are comin' home.....to roost.
Enough of the soapbox. We'll file after the race.
Update--Sellout!?
The track has issued a press release stating that the Crown Royal Presents the Dan Lowry 400 has, in fact, sold out. Press room skeptics suggest that this might be a touch of wishful thinking.
We'll see when we look at the crowd later this evening.
