HOTLanta Race Recap
Well, sure does hurt so good being right. We here at Turning Left West called a) Kenseth finishing in the exact position that he actually did finish b) the 48 and the 8 finishing back to back, and pretty closely, too; we predicted a 1-2 finish, we got a 2-3. Close enough in our book c) a resurgent Greg Biffle d) Mark Martin and Kasey Kahne not winning, although we, admittedly, did not call them not winning by means of winding up in the wall. Here's something about Turning Left West: we are hardcore because we live hardcore.
That having been said, we also did not get to watch the race and instead had to settle for listening to it on PRN. We're over it, though, because in exchange we were treated to an exchange where largely maladroit historical allusions were all over the fucking place, and at TLW, that's what we're all about. Basically, First PRN Announcer suggested that Atlanta was Mark Martin's Waterloo. Um, I guess. Though I'm pretty sure that the fact that the 6 was put in the wall was the fault of Kenny Wallace and not the combined forces of Russia, Prussia, and the United Kingdom. But it got better - Second PRN Announcer decided to suggest that "Kasey Kahne's done worse at Atlanta tonight than General Sherman when he came here."
Not joking. That actually happened. But anyway, uh, wtf? General Sherman did fucking awesome in Atlanta. If Tony Stewart had got out front at like Lap 15, then led every single lap after that, then personally pistol-whipped the rest of the top 5 on pit road after the race, and then finally did a huge rail of coke off the hood of the 20 in Victory Lane - then the Sherman metaphor would have been apt. That having been said, all this leads us to believe that the boys at PRN have been reading them some Turning Left - after all, if you scroll down to the inaugural post, you'll see that confusing Civil War analogies are totally our shit.
And, finally, more craziness: our prediction is that something drastic and most likely horrible will happen over the next two weeks, and this will be what will decides the Chase. It'll be over and done by the time we get to Homestead. And here we're thinking Johnson but also possibly Earnhardt Jr. Whoever it is, something will happen, probably at Texas, that will turn grown men into incoherent, rage-filled morons and one of the top 5 Chasers into your next Nextel Cup champion. But then again, it's nothing more than a feeling that we got.
P.S. Nemechek in the top 10? Robby Gordon? WTF?
