So today I headed down to LA Live to see Trevor Bayne. He was a cool guy. Very intelligent and has a wicked smile. He stayed and signed autographs afterward too so I got one. I took the train out there and getting to Union Station and back from Union Station is nothing, but riding the metro trains in an experience. Makes you wanna work down there. At least there's always something going on.
So today I was just purusing Twitter and there are a few journalists still arguing about cheering in the press box. To this I say "GET OVER IT." There are some high and mighty people out there.
Otherwise, I did get to ask Trevor about God and what he would say to the nay sayers in the crowd and he said that he just doesn't believe that God had nothing to do with it. That he knows God gave him the opportunities he's taken and guided him along the right path. Very smart kid and very smart answer.
In other news. Mickey's team got fined for the spoiler falling off on the last lap of the truck race at Daytona. Some say he should lose the win. I still understand why they don't take it away, it makes for some serious messes when it comes to everything. But they were right to fine him. I found out that Nascar does not issue the truck teams the spoilers. They approve them, but they are built by the team. Therefore Nascar cannot be held accountable for a parts malfunction and the team must be. They had to have done something wrong in order for it to break as it did. So the penalty is warranted.
I wondered out loud if this had happened with 10 or 20 to go in the race what Nascar would have done. The consensus is that Mickey would have been black flagged. So they would have made him fix it because there's a clear aerodynamic advantage to having no spoiler. So I also then wondered if the team had rigged it to be that way. I thought that it would have been a brilliant plan, but probably improbable. There's just no way it'll go according to plan.
I had fun today, got some sun and now I'm going to relax. My foot hurts, it's been a while since I've done that much walking. My back doesn't hurt though so that's a good thing.
Until tomorrow!
