No Such Thing as a Win without Honor?

Which is harder; to not have won a Cup race at all, or living with your only win questioned by your peers for having come in a rain shortened race?
I don’t know. I’ve asked plenty of racers the “Is there such a thing as a win without honor” question. They have all said that there is no such thing. Every single one of them told me the same thing. Maybe they lied.
David Reutimann doesn’t care anymore. He won the LifeLock.com 400 at Chicagoland Speedway convincingly, decisively. Honorably.
The voices will stop now. No more whispers about the way he won the 2009 Coke 600 while sitting in pit lane with MWR team owner Michael Waltrip, praying for rain. No more asterisks.
That all goes for the #00 Michael Waltrip Racing team too. While Reutimann passed the resurgent Jeff Gordon twice for the lead, on the track, the Tums team was near flawless all night in the pits. A late race, green flag pit stop, from the lead, went perfectly.
And David Reutimann drove away to another win. Sounds good doesn’t it Beak?

Tony Stewart Gives NASCAR Fans the Show They Crave at Daytona
by Steve Wronkowicz
I am co-host of the syndicated radio show: ON PIT ROW. Over ten years on the air and three on the net; see what can happen when I don't let the facts get in the way of my opinions.
July 5, 2009 8:47 am UTC No CommentsTony Stewart was able to make the last lap pass of his former teammate, Kyle Busch, to win the Coke Zero 400 at Daytona.
However; in the process, Busch went spinning in a last lap wreck that saw him get airborne and land on Kasey Kahne’s car, very reminiscent of the final lap at Talladega where Carl Edwards went into the spectator fence.
The Shrub was able to get out of his mangled race car and walk toward the garage, where he was intercepted by track personnel that escorted him to a safety vehicle for a trip to the infield care center. Busch was later released with no injuries other than a bruised ego. Busch was able to get past Stewart on the white flag lap when Tony slowed, trying to make his pursuers lose momentum and avoid the last lap onslaught.![]()
The move backfired on Stewart with Busch taking the lead and then going into full blocking mode. Stewart was able to get his #14 just up to Busch’s quarter panel when they touched, sending Stewart to a win and Busch to the wall. Stewart explained:
It’s nobody’s fault, it’s just racing. I mean, it’s a product of the environment. It doesn’t mean the environment is bad, it just means that’s the way it is. Like I said, he did what he had to do, and he defended his spot and we held our(s). It wasn’t even that we tried to hold our ground, we just got on his quarter panel, and that’s just how you suck up. As soon as he moved, I didn’t anticipate him moving, and went across the nose.
Stewart had the dominate car all race as he never fell outside the top three. During the seven pit stops for the Burger King car; each time he came in first and left first.
One other thirteen car melee took out some of the cars battling for the final positions in The Chase. Most of the cars involved in that incident were able to repair their cars and finish the race. Twenty-eight cars finished on the lead lap, with Jeff Gordon bringing up the rear of the lead lap cars. Mark Martin ended his day in 38th and David Reutimann finished 36th, severely hampering their efforts to make it into the Chase.
Therefore; this week’s BUZZ ON PIT ROW is:
Aren’t the finishes at Talladega and now Daytona, exactly what NASCAR fans say they have been missing from the other tracks?
