Alright, alright, let’s talk about this car racin’ thing, who’s gonna be startin’ first this Sunday, ya know, on the pole. I heard some fellas talkin’ down at the store, sayin’ it’s all about that Watkins Glen race. This fella, Ross Chastain, they say he’s gonna be the one leadin’ the pack when they start. Sounds like he done drove real good to get that spot.
Now, I ain’t no expert, ya hear? But from what I gather, this “pole” thing means you get to start right up front, first place, like. And that’s a good thing, gives you a head start on them other fellers. Watkins Glen, that’s a place, I reckon, where they do the racin’. Heard it’s got lots of turns and twists, not just goin’ ’round and ’round in a circle like some of them other tracks.
- So, Ross Chastain, he’s the man at Watkins Glen. Remember that name, if you’re bettin’ or somethin’.
- But then there’s this other race, down at Indianapolis. That’s a big deal, I hear. Folks talkin’ about it all the time.
And over at Indianapolis, it was Tyler Reddick who got himself that pole position. They said he “nailed” it, whatever that means. Guess he drove real fast and didn’t mess up none. Indianapolis, that’s another one of them big racin’ places. Heard tell it’s a real famous one.
So you got Chastain at one race, Reddick at another. See, it ain’t just one race, it’s a whole bunch of ‘em. And they have these races pretty regular, I think. Seems like every Sunday there’s another one.
Then there’s this talk about Phoenix, some championship race or somethin’. Martin Truex Jr., that’s who they sayin’ got the pole for that one. But this was his last race, they said he’s not gonna be racin’ full-time anymore. Heard he’s been doin’ this racin’ thing for a long time. Now, Phoenix, that sounds hot, like where them cactuses grow.
They mentioned some other fellas too, Ryan Blaney, William Byron, Joey Logano, said they’re gonna be racin’ for the championship. A whole bunch of ‘em fightin’ it out, I guess. Sounds like a big to-do.
So, who’s on the pole depends on where they’re racin’ and when, see? It ain’t just one fella all the time. You gotta keep track of these races and these fellas’ names. Chastain, Reddick, Truex… it’s a lot to remember, for an old woman like me.
Anyways, that’s the gist of it, as far as I can tell. These fellas drive fast, try to be first, and the one on the pole gets a good head start. And that’s important, ‘cause everyone wants to win, right? It’s like when you’re bakin’ a pie, you want it to be the best darn pie at the county fair, ain’t that right?
So, this Sunday, keep an eye out for them fellas. They’ll be zoomin’ around, makin’ lots of noise, and tryin’ to be the first to cross that finish line. And that fella on the pole, he’s got a good chance, but anything can happen in a race, that’s for sure. Just like when you’re tryin’ to get them chickens back in the coop, sometimes they go ever which way! It’s all excitin’, though, even if I don’t understand all the rules and such.
I tell ya, these fellas are somethin’ else, riskin’ their necks like that. But I guess that’s what they love to do. Just like I love to tend my garden, even when the weeds try to take over. It’s all about workin’ hard and tryin’ to be the best, I reckon. And this Sunday, we’ll see who comes out on top. It’ll be a good show, that’s for sure. Now, where did I put my glasses? Can’t hardly see the TV guide anymore…
So, remember, Watkins Glen: Ross Chastain; Indianapolis: Tyler Reddick; Phoenix Championship: Martin Truex Jr. That’s what they’re sayin’ anyway. Don’t come cryin’ to me if I got it wrong, I’m just tellin’ you what I heard.
