Roger Diez: NASCAR continues West Coast swing

It looks like Roger Penske’s swap of drivers and crew chiefs paid off with a strategy call as Joey Logano won the NASCAR Cup race on old tires last Sunday in Las Vegas. There was, however, a little intra-team friction, as Ryan Blaney was less than happy about the way teammate Logano raced him in the late going. Matt DiBenedetto finished second in his new Wood Brothers ride, and from his demeanor in post-race interviews you’d think he had won the race. Matt is going to score a win or two this season.

The ending of Monday’s Daytona 500 brought the subject of racing safety to the forefront yet again. For me, seeing the ominous black screens erected around Ryan Newman’s ruined race car brought flashbacks to other accidents… notably Dale Earnhardt’s Daytona crash of 19 years ago. After 50 years of involvement in racing, I have seen driver deaths and injuries dramatically reduced from the 1970s. But even though driver safety has vastly improved, racing is still a dangerous sport.
