By the time Nascar finally called today’s rain/fog delayed race, some of you were probably far away from a TV. Here’s the post-race comments from the top-three finishers today:
Winner—Chris Buescher: “Wow, this is amazing. Um, well, first off, it’s B-U-E-S-C-H-E-R, I’m from Prosper, Texas, and our team is owned by Bob Jenkins the restauranteur, not the former ESPN broadcaster. Well, its not too often that I see most of the media want to talk to me—in fact, its usually DURING a rain delay! I’m just kidding, guys, but feel free to make your way up to Statesville, North Carolina to visit us tomorrow.”
Runner-Up—Brad Keselowski: “Well, Bob, you have to consider the risks involved in this sport. I mean, you always hope for a 38 race season with nothing but sun-filled weekends, but that just doesn’t happen. In fact, if it NEVER rained on a race day, wouldn’t we appreciate it all a bit less? You need the bitter to appreciate the taste of the sweet. Oh, and, uh, thanks to all the sponsors.”
Third-Place—Regan Smith: “HAHAHA, WE BEAT TY DILLON! I told him I’d ruin his Nascar career and this is just step one! Ty, you put the wrong guy in the wall that day at Watkins Glen—vengeance is MINE!!!!!!!”
