Mexico Busch Race *POSSIBLE SPOILERS*
 

Mexico City Busch race sure has gotten interesting...

Watching JPM is just amazing...

Dirty, dirty, dirty racing. Said looked under powered and JPM was just dirty.

OK, maybe it was a spoiler, but I wrote the original subject long before the race was over, so that was not the intent...

It wasn't dirty until his pass on his teamate. That was uncalled for IMHO. He had 8 or so laps left. He should have backed off.

Not only that he had much fresher tires. He could have made a clean pass elsewhere in a lap or two.

I was so pissed off when that POS J.J. Yeley spun Marcos Ambrose out of 5th Place. argh. Oh, and Montoya could have waited and passed Pruett cleanly, he made a real bonehead move. I'm happy to see him win thte race, but not at the expense of his teammate.

I didn't watch the race, but I'm watching the fall-out on Wind Tunnel right now.

As far as I can piece together, JPM was faster and would have won the race. But into T1 he botched it up, locked the RF a touch, and got under Pruett. Was it a mistake? Yep. Was it bone-headed? Yep. Was it a racing incident? Absolutely. Did the right car win? Yep. The only downside here was that Pruett was robbed of a 2nd place finish... everything else worked out the way it would have otherwise IMO.

JPM has really surprised me with his ability to adapt to the cars, and the tracks this season. Today he finished 5th I believe, at Atlanta, after finishing 8th in the BUSCH race yesterday. That was the first time he'd ever been near the track. In fact the booth was making jokes about how he had to use GPS to find the track for qualifying.

I'm looking forward to his progress, and hopefully an influx of foreign drivers, and drivers form different series than the usual (BUSCH, local short track) and bringing different skill sets to nascar.
