BITTERSWEET TO THE END

AN AWESOME FINISH AND A SWEEP FOR RCR DRIVER KEVIN HARVICK.

MARK DID HIS BEST BUT KEVIN DID BETTER...THE BEST MAN WON!

BITTERSWEET, BUT MARK IS USED TO THIS AND TOOK IT VERY WELL.

CONGRAT'S GO OUT TO KEVIN HARVICK, HIS TEAM AND RCR RACING.

PATTY AND I SAT IN OUR LIVING ROOM WITH A FEW FRIENDS AND FAMILY GUESTS WATCHING AS EACH AND EVERY ONE OF OUR FAVORITE DRIVERS WERE TAKEN OUT FOR ONE REASON OR ANOTHER. WE WERE ALL OPPOSED TO THE #17 ROUSHSOX CAR BEING UP FRONT AND THE GREEN WHITE CHECKER SENT PATTY SCURRYING AWAY... THE INTENSITY TOO MUCH FOR HER. EVERYONE WAS SHOUTING FOR MARK'S WIN...AND TO KEEP KENSETH BEHIND HIM, WHICH BROUGHT PATTY BACK TO HER SENSES. WHAT HAPPENED NEXT CAUGHT US ALL BY SURPRISE WITH THE MELEE BEHIND THEM, THE RACE CONTINUED WITH HARVICK'S PUSH BY KENSETH SENDING HIM TO AN INCREDIBLE AND NEARLY A PHOTO FINISH.

TO SEE MARK TAKE A DAYTONA 500 WIN WOULD HAVE BEEN AWESOME, BUT KEVIN'S WIN FOR RCR IS AN INCREDIBLE TRIBUTE TO DALE SR. AND FOR THAT WE WERE ALL COMPLETELY THRILLED AND SATISFIED.

ON TO CALIFORNIA.
