I DON"T Want To Talk About It

Well, I still haven't recovered from last night's catastrophe. I sat for 381 laps with my fingers crossed, praying every single lap. I begged for the caution that came out for Michael Waltrip and Casey Mears on Lap 356 and was screaming thanking God for answering my prayers. Then the unthinkable happened. I don't want to talk about it! I cried so hard my eyes are all puffy today. I'd like to choke NASCAR for giving him that 2 lap penalty. I want to kick Mike Ford for not bringing him to pit road before he became the caution. He could have come back with fresh tires. Anything would have been better than the 24th place finish they ended up with! To lead 381 laps and then finish 24th 3 laps down is pathetic. To lose 2 positions in the points is tragic.

But no matter what the score board said, no matter what place they scored him when it was all over...that race was Denny Hamlin's! He is the Champ to me and Richmond International Raceway and the Crown Royal Presents The Dan Lowry 400 belonged to D Ham. He had it won and will always be the man of the night to me. I'm sorry I uncrossed my fingers for a minute. I'm sorry I left the room for a pit stop. I'm sorry you didn't get the trophy you so deeply desired. But you had the home crowd on your side and I'm proud of you no matter what. And that's all I have to say about that!
