NASCAR: Race Day in Darlington, SC 4-12-14- [Niedermeyer's Dead Horse]

I'm still a bit sensitive over all the work I put into last week's post only to have it butt-stomped by a rain-out. Thus, this week, you get the bare minimum.

Misery loves company, eh?

The Duck Commander 500 was a complete washout last Sunday. First it was an hour delay. Then another hour delay. Then another. Finally, they threw their hands up and moved it to noon. On Monday. I didn't see it so I don't have a lot of details to report.

Right off the bat, on lap three, Dale Jr. suffered a fiery crash after crossing into the grass and losing a tire, but he's doing fine and will be participating in the race today. Thank God for that.

The winner of last week's race was Joey Logano, bringing the total to seven different winners in the seven races to date.

Yep. Texas.

This week's race, the Bojangles' Southern 500, will be run on the 1.37 mile track at Darlington with Kevin Harvick and Joey Logano leading the pack after clocking speeds of 183.479 and 183.049 respectively.

Leading the standings at present are Jeff Gordon (259 pts), Matt Kenseth (255 pts), and Carl Edwards (247 pts).

Now, what you really come here for, elbows:

Enjoy the race, folks.
