Musings in May about the Season

2010 is sure shaping up to be quite interesting! The usual suspects seem to have been hamstrung by the new spoiler while others have risen to the occasion and are enjoying the fruits of their labors! With headlines like "Harvick's points lead not likely to hold at Darlington"  and then it certainly did to the tune of 110 point spread, the season just isn't very predictable!

Major congrats to the Richard Childress Racing stable for coming out strong and staying strong! Who would have guessed Kevin "Mr. Where did he come from" Harvick would be riding the biggest points lead of the season rolling into May and Jimmie "I'm the champion- again" Johnson would have found his achilles heel in this new spoiler?  A couple of DNF's already and Johnson's wondering where his season is going.

And congrats to Jamie "Daytona 500 winner" MacMurray, way to come out of the gate for your old boss and then give us another great show at Talladega with Kevin Harvick for his return to victory lane! Who said knee surgery would slow down Denny Hamlin? Obviously it hasn't. as he's just matched Jimmie Johnson for three victories  each this season. Hamlin's hot! In the meantime, teammate Kyle Busch, who won at Richmond, is now sporting the "new" and "old" Kyle.  Hmm, "new" ?  Doubt it, maybe masked, but not "new"!
