NASCAR NATION: California Natives Rule at Pepsi 500 in Fontana

Heather Chavez, Second Self Virtual Assistance (928) 412-4469: Virtual Assistant in Riverside, CA

The California natives ruled at the Pepsi 500 in Fontana, CA on Sunday, October 11, 2009. Once again, Hendrick Motorsports proved why they own the Auto Club Speedway. I guess this is apropos for the company who is celebrating its 25th Anniversary. After Jessie McCartney skipped a line or two of the National Anthem (practicing the national anthem before you perform it in front of a bunch of rednecks might be a good idea), grand marshal Kelsey Grammar gave the "Gentlemen, start your engines!" to begin the first Sprint Cup race to come to Southern California. Jimmie Johnson quickly overtook pole sitter Denny Hamlin to get out front. The only other real contender for first place for most of the race was Juan Pablo Montoya, who started his typical aggressive first place bid around lap 25. It began to look like it was going to be a pretty boring race between just Jimmie and JPM, with the rest of the field left in their dust. However, the last 50 or so laps turned into a nail-biter. You know that the points are close when you get a caution for debris, another caution 4 laps later and then another caution on the restart of the last caution when so many cars get bunched up together and cause "the big one". Unfortunately for Dale Jr, his streak of bad luck continued, as he got accidentally turned by the guy behind him and started "the big one". Jr was actually having quite a spectacular day, too. I felt bad for the dude. This Jeff Gordon girl was on the edge of her seat hoping Jeff could pull ahead of Jimmie when they began their last restart with only 3 laps to go. Unfortunately, Jimmie got a great restart and jumped ahead of the pack again. JPM challenged Jeff for 2nd before Jeff edged him out at the end. With Mark Martin finishing 4th and Tony Stewart finishing 5th, four out of the top 5 finishers for the Pepsi 500 in Fontana had Hendrick Motorsports engines in them. It was a good day for HMS. But, both Jimmie and Mark need to watch out because Juan Pablo Montoya is quickly heading their way. The next Sprint cup race will be on Saturday, October 17th at 7pm EST on ABC in Charlotte. See ya there!
