The Lennox Industrial Tools 301 is now in the record books. Like last year’s June race, the weather played a very significant roll in the outcome of the race! Like last year when the “Blue Duece” driven by Kurt Busch, aka ELB (Ears Laid Back) waited for the race to be called because of the rain, the #20 Home Depot Toyota driven by Joey “Sliced Bread” Logano, too, waited for the race to be called.

COMMENTARY:
As I was watching the replay of the big accident at Louden on the restart at lap 174, several thoughts occurred to me. While it is a given that TLVW can drive the wheels off of anything that he straps himself into, it appears that his “patience tank” is completely empty! As long as he is out front of the pack, it never comes into play with this driver.
However on Sunday, with ol Kylie stuck back in mid pack for the restart, the driver of the #18 M&M’s Toyota was the instigator of the “The Big One” at Louden! As the green flag flew for the restart on lap 174, Dale Jr. in the #88 National Guard Chevy, spun his tires as he hammered the “loud pedal”. That backed up a couple of rows of cars, but TLVW gassed it up big, stuck his nose into a spot that maybe only a fly or gnat could fit into, and tried to make it three wide prior to the start/finish line! As that small hole closed back up, ol Kylie got into the #1 TomTom Chevy of Martin Truex, Jr.’s left quarter panel turning him hard right, and sending him head-on into the outside retaining wall. Ol Kylie’s impatience resulted in collecting several drivers, thoroughly blocking the racetrack!
I think that I have just figured out why TLVW continuously sticks his nose into places that you know that won’t work on the race track. I think his near vision is grossly impaired!! Probably if he were to go to an opthamologist to get a thorough eye examination and glasses, he will see that his nose just won’t fit into some of those tight spots he insists on getting into.
What is your take?
