I am not usually one to take on the editorial discussions about NASCAR, in all their infinite wisdom and knowledge. The event formerly known as the Allstate 400 at the Brickyard disappeared this year, kind of like the name of another formerly known as that became a symbol. Something like that happened at the Brickyard this year, it used to be a race, this year it was just dust in the wind, rubber dust. We have all heard the story of the week, bad tires. no wear. cautions every ten laps, all the bad publicity and negative reactions to the actions that transpired at Indianapolis. But somewhere, buried deep in all the finger pointing and media antics that go along with such a monumental disaster in the NASCAR Sprint Cup series, something else happened that may be just as monumental as the disaster itself. NASCAR took the blame, and actually apologized for what took place. Oh, I am sorry, I should have told you to sit down before making such a statement, I hope that nasty bump on your head goes away in a few days from your head hitting the floor. Yes, for the first time in all the years I have been watching NASCAR, there were no excuses, no reasoning out of a bad call, o decision after the decision, NASCAR officials just up and said they were sorry for what took place, and they would do everything they could to investigate the events of the day and get to the bottom of the issue. Wow! Who would have seen that coming?
