One weekend, three races, more than enough boredom to go around. That is my summation of the IRL, OWRS and NASCAR races over the weekend.

First the IRL. I have to say I have been very under whelmed by the racing so far this season. Yeah, the first race came down to Sammy and Julio battling for the win down to the wire, but Phoenix and Japan were real snoozers.

Now it could be as simple as knowing it is the last race for the 3.4 liter engine and the focus is on the future. I don’t like rule changes, especially in season, but this one was known before the season so I will not spit the bit on it. I’m ready for May and to see what kind of speeds we will see.

Anyway, congrats to Gentleman Dan Wheldon. He dominated the Japan race and gave Honda their first win at their home track. Right now it looks like They have Toyota’s number.

The race was pretty boring, no real passes and not a whole lot of real good dicing. Robbie finished second to last and the Dreyer and Reinbold miseries continue. Early indications have the 3.0 liter Chevy engine as being strong. We will know soon enough!

NASCAR spent the weekend at Martinsville, VA. What a shithole. That track just sucks and what is more, it came apart yesterday. A big chunk of concrete came out of the track causing a 2 hour delay. They need to get rid of that turd track.

Rusty Wallace managed to win the race. Jr. did pretty good finishing 3rd and regaining the lead in the Nextel Cup Championship.

Finally OWRS did actually run their race at Long Beach. They had their usual first turn crash and Paul Tracy won and their were no passes. My favorite thing of the day was when Tommy Kendall was talking about how Alex Tagliani loved the push to pass button so much he kept asking for more in practice. Kendall made the analogy of a crack pipe saying “It (the push to pass button) was his personal crack pipe”. Good Sctuff!!!

The race basically sucked. Vasser was last and cried to the cameras as usual.

Overall it was a pretty sucky weekend of racing. Let’s hope May brings more excitement.
