Today's Texas NASCAR Race Should Be Exciting

Yes, today's AAA Texas 500 at the Texas Motor Speedway (3 PM EST on ESPN) should be exciting to watch, even if your not a regular NASCAR event watcher. Why? Because the race is tight and two racers, Jimmie Johnson and Matt Kenseth share identical point totals – 2,294.

You can bet they'll both be racing hard to break the tie and become the points leader. There is much more at stake than you'd think, as a shared points lead with only three races remaining in the racing season has never occurred since NASCAR began it's points system in 1975!

I have to admit, I've become somewhat disenchanted with NASCAR racing over the past 9-10 years. Preferring to watch a quality drag race event, I will, however be lured to the television this afternoon to see some familiar names fight it out to see who'll end up on top.

Hope you enjoy the race!
