Smoke’s thoughts on Happy and Pablo yesterday.

Smoke’s thoughts on Happy and Pablo yesterday.

That's about right. It was good to see Harvick get angry (even if some of his anger should have been directed at Truex, although Montoya and Truex were both stupid for thinking they could pull a Dale Earnhardt Sr. and dive-bomb the corners like that), and it was good to see somebody else get angry. Harvick's went too many races without going on a rampage (I'm not a Harvick fan, but I like seeing drivers who aren't afraid to speak out, even if they are misguided).

Harvick and JPM were probably the two most colorful personalities at the race. That's a pretty sad statement about NASCAR these days, it seems like we are given these cookie-cutter drivers that seem to have their images managed by a full-time staff of PR people.

I thought it was funny that Richard Childress was spouting off about Montoya and you find out the reason why is that Felix Sabates called Childress out on ESPN, on his crew trying to cheat and working on Harvick's car under the red. You don't see many owners with personalities these days - a lot tend to remain distant and/or aloof from things.

It'd be nice if there was a rivalry come up out of this, because there just aren't that many rivalries anymore - the PR people seem to tell the drivers to only say nice things about one another.

We need more road races - they tend to bring out the best in the drivers - it was a helluva race yesterday, and it's pretty clear who the real drivers are and who the "left turn only" types are. The people who were at the front at the end of the day were the types that can drive just about anything on any kind of track.
