nascar 2009 <> after week #17

rookie joey logano wins at his home track ... tony stewart (5th), jeff gordon (2nd), kurt busch (3rd) and jimmie johnson (9th) dominate again ... hendricks engines rule once again (2nd, 5th, 6th, 9th, 13th and 14th) ... david reutimann (4th), kasey kahne (10th) and sam hornish jr (8th) are impressive again ... and whats not to love about taladega winner brad keselowski (6th) ... who is this brash young kid from the nationwide series who can flat out drive a race car ... doesnt seem to matter if he's driving jr's car, a hendricks motorsports or james finch car ... nationwide or sprint car ... he drives the car into the money just about every week

the most unusual performances of the weekend ... rousch-fenway drivers ... greg biffle (18th), carl edwards (19th), matt kenseth (22nd), jamie mc murray (33rd) and david ragan (38th) ... how far this team seems to have fallen ... it has always been an odd mixture of characters ... im thinking rousch-fenway heirarchy and drivers had a late night on race eve ... attending the inside fenway park wedding reception of boston red sox owner (which includes fenway sports group which is the fenway in rousch-fenway) john henry ... the wedding ceremony took place saturday afternoon on john henry's yacht ... somewhere in the atlantic ocean
