Running in the Back of the Pack.

What is like to run in the back of the pack? I would not have a clue. I have never driven racecar, so I can’t tell you. I sat there and watched the race yesterday and saw cars 3 laps down, 2 laps down and I thought why bother? Racing is not like other sports. Let me think and see how I would compare being part of the lapped car group. In football terms being a lapped car is like being in the 4th quarter and getting beat 56 to 0. I think it is worse in racing because in most other sports if you are getting you butt kicked like that at least you can bring in the reserve players. Racing, no way, you are in that car for the long haul. It does not matter if you want to get out of the car, you can’t. Give these guys credit. Somehow they keep digging and stay up on the wheel and try to get what they can. The other thing is, with racing at least you get points for finishing and for ever spot higher you advance on the board its more points. That’s what keeps these guys going. Every point counts.
