Your It’s Not The Charlotte 600 Because It’s Not Porn Sunday Night Open Thread

This is one of the rare Sundays I get to enjoy fully.  Tomorrow is Memorial Day,  hence no work and no going to bed early.

Will I spend the time fruitfully?

Well, I’m watching NASCAR, so you be the judge. As I mentioned last year,  today is the GREATEST DAY IN MOTORSPORTS with the Monaco Grand Prix, the Indianapolis 500, and the Coca Cola 600 all on the same day.

Earlier this morning, Daniel Ricciardo of Australia,  who broke the track record in obtaining the pole position for this race, easily won for the first time in Monaco.  Please note that I wrote this on Saturday.  Let’s see if I was right… I was.

Although he experienced power problems midway through the race,  Daniel was able to hold off the field, lead every lap, and actually extend his lead at the end to win by over six seconds.

I’m happy for him because he’s one of the few good dudes in Formula 1. And considering the number of assholes that abound in that series,  that’s saying something.

In the second race,  it was much more difficult to predict ahead of time who would win. There is a lot more passing and crazy shit happens. Ed Carpenter got the pole position while Danica Patrick qualified 7th.

In the end, Will Power got the win.  That’s 2 for 2 for Australia,  btw.

As for the NASCAR race,  there are two drivers that are red-hot going in: Kyle Busch,  my favourite driver,  has three wins in the season and leads the point standings.

Kevin Harvick,  however,  is even hotter. He has 5 (FIVE!) wins on the season (out of 12 races to date,  mind you) and just won the $1 million All- Star race at Charlotte last weekend.

He’s your favorite.

So,  sit back,  crank up the grill,  throw some dogs and burgers on there,  and open up some beers or sodas.  It’s that kind of day and that’s an excellent way to enjoy it.

Oh,  and comment here,  of course.
