The Blick is Hot–Junior is Not

I am co-host of the syndicated radio show: ON PIT ROW. Charlie likes to call me an "idiot". I'm not an "idiot"; I just prefer not to let the facts get in the way of my opinions.

Drew Blickensderfer has taken Matt Kenseth on a two-fer that few expected.

The #17 team has done everything right i the first two races of the year.  Winning at Fontana pretty much validates the rain shortened win at Daytona.   Kenseth was able to hold off Jeff Gordon by a little over a second and a half to secure the win.

In the process of taking that second victory, Kenseth was able to derail Kyle “Rowdy” Busch’s attempt to be the first to win all three races in a single weekend.  Busch had run away with the Campers World Truck and Nationwide races both held on Saturday.  Rowdy has picked up where he left off during the 2008 regular season.

Also reminiscent of 2008 are the struggles that continue for Dale Earnhardt Jr.  After crashing out of the Daytona 500 by his own impatience and bad judgement; engine problems were the rule of the day at Auto Club Speedway.  Junior Nation will find it easier to blame crew chief Tony Eury Jr. for this bad finish than the one last week.

This week’s BUZZ ON PIT ROW asks:

After two races; one a crash out, one an engine failure, is Junior crapping out?

Let us know what you think and we could use your answer on this week’s ON PIT ROW radio show from 5-7pm ET Tuesdays right here.

    Hey George! Good to hear from you again. It would be hard to not like Kenseth. Those other three are not as universally loved though. And what did they have in 2008 - 1 win between them? I think it’s a safe bet that they’ll do better this season. Thanks for stopping by.

    Thanks for the vroom. I’m a Matty guy–for at least one more week. After Vegas I’m going to look at a new guy.

Got something to say?
