Wow! A great first half of the NASCAR season is over. We had everything we could have bargained for and more! Conterversy, great competition, parity, young guns and the wiley vets winning, and a few fan favorite wins. As we have 10 races until the chase for the championship begins, the contenders have been set. Now as we start the crucial 2nd part of the year starting at Daytona (qualfying as I type) the 400 point margain or top 10 looms for several top teams.

 

Top 5 performances of the First Half

1. Jimmie Johnson Coca-Cola 600 (Charlotte) leading 500 miles of a 600 mile race isnt to bad. The strongest car I have ever seen. Lapping at one point all but 8 cars is really good too.

2. Morgan Shepard (Martinsville)- Overlooked as the best run by a field filler, the old-timer lasted 500 laps at a tough old track only losing 7-10 laps.

3. Kasey Khane Samsung 500 (Texas)- The most dominate car all day only to get beat by less then a foot. Kasey dominated the race.

4. Jimmie Johnson Pocono 500 (Pocono)- Johnson's team had their act together again for another dominate effort. It was however about destroyed by a bad descion by NASCAR.

5. Jeff Gordon Save Mart 350 (Sears Point)- Hardly challenged all day and only gave the lead up when pitting. Just dominate.

Jerry's favorite driver is Mark Martin, mine is Jamie McMurrary.

 

Looks like last night's happy hour put a glitch in Wallace's position tonight. I thought the rain was going to put the whole thing on hold, but as of right now, things look like a go!

 

Lander, I didnt know you went in for nascar! Cool!!

    • Deja vu all over again, 7 yrs apart. SMDH Does anybody talk to each other?
    • OK, well, that’s because two quarterbacks can’t start. That’s football 101. The main quarterback won the starting job, so he was on varsity, and the Seymour transfer did not win the starting job. He played some varsity. He was mainly junior varsity, and he balled out when healthy, so for the starting quarterback who’s been starting varsity since his freshman year, if you have any form of proof that he’s gotten worse, somehow, whether that means stats or whatnot, please feel free to share.
    • They’ve both gotten worse. I’ve seen enough games to know that. 
    • The only two transfers that Bearden has gotten that went on to play college football were a defensive back from Karnes, who transferred here way before the new coaching staff got here, and a running back from Carter, who went on to play at Maryville College. Both players received those offers while at Bearden, and both players got a diploma from Bearden High School. Therefore, they are Bearden kids, and you can’t do anything about that.   The transfer from Seymour didn’t win the job, what do you expect two quarterbacks to start at the same time? He played great on JV when he could stay healthy, and when he came in on varsity, he did great. The quarterback position is definitely going to be in good hands when the current starting quarterback leaves, but until then, they’re just going to be battling it out like every good quarterback competition does. The current starting quarterback has his flaws, and that is in the pass game, but what he doesn’t have flaws is running and scrambling, and if you go back and watch any game, which I’m sure you didn’t watch any, we used him very often, and when we needed a deep ball, we brought in the transfer from Seymour. The starting quarterback last year will be a senior this year, and the Seymour transfer will be a junior, so the Seymour transfer is definitely going to get his spotlight. He may even win the job this year. Football isn’t about who the newspaper thinks is the best kid. The best kid in the position will win the starting job, and I trust the coaching staff more than a newspaper or article to pick my starting QB.
    • I mean, we’ve only gotten two transfers that went on to play college football, one who went to UT Martin came his second semester junior year before the new coaching staff was here, and the other one went on to play at Maryville College, in which I don’t believe he had any interest prior to transferring.
