Michael Waltrip Fails to Qualify for the Coca-Cola 600
I'm not surprised that Michael Waltrip wasn't able to qualify in on time for the Cup race on Sunday. Fact is that the car was dreadfully slow during practice, and it turns out that he wrecked his primary car, so he was in a very bad position right from the start. I'm really heart-broken for Michael. Unless he finds a way to buy a ride from someone, he will miss his first Cup race in a very long time. Might not be the last time either because missing this race is going to make it very hard to get back into the top 35 in owner's points. He will still race this weekend in the Busch race but I'm guessing that he's probably extremely upset about missing the Cup race, even though he'll probably try to be upbeat, though realistic, about things publically.
I'm really too upset at the moment to say much else other than how awful I feel for Michael. I truly feel sick about this, not because I won't get to see him race on Sunday, but because I know how terrible he must feel. More to come...
