So we found out yesterday that Jimmie Johnson will start on the pole and Michael Waltrip will start on the outside pole. Yes, I said Michael Waltrip.
Last year Waltrip had a bad start to the year after being penalized for an illegal substance being found in the engine of his car. It ruined his season because he was never able to come back from the points that he had deducted.
Anyway, while watching qualifying I wondered how the heck they came up with this crapshoot they call qualifying. Who thought this would be a fair way to get into the race. I mean it does make it more interesting for the fans. Well, for those of us who are fans of the drivers in the top 35. The rest of the fans, and the drivers for that matter, will be biting their nails until they try to race their way in on Thursday.
NASCAR needs to use the same type of qualifying they use for every other race. It is going to be very upsetting for the go-or-go-homers like Boris Said, who would already be in the show if this was another race. Now he doesn't have to worry about his driving skills, but that of 2o plus other drivers vying for the same spot.
Even though it is very entertaining, NASCAR has to rethink the entire Daytona qualifying. They should also rethink the top 35 rule but thats another story for another time.
Thanks for reading, hope you enjoyed. Leave me some feed back or write your own opinion and send it to me and I might post it. biggestnascarfan@gmail.com
