Compelling questions … and maybe a few actual answers
Buying the Roval hype?
Kinda, sorta. With all the drivers fretting the great unknowns entering this first-time event, largely due to the unique course, it definitely raises your curiosity a bit. To hear them tell it, there will be a lot of spills and thrills, but in the end someone will be first to the checkers. And if the show is deemed a hit, look for plenty of lobbying for at least one more roval revival. The Brickyard, perhaps? Daytona in July?
How bout Junior?
Junior Earnhardts fourth-place showing at Richmonds Xfinity race last Friday night was obviously a solid result, especially given his race-high 96 laps led. Most noteworthy, however, mightve been his honesty afterward in detailing the pressures he put on himself in the car and how big of an issue that was during his career. And how glad he is to be rid of it, of course.
