National Guard Jinxed On Memorial Day Weekend

Of all weekends for the Army National Guard to be jinxed. Memorial Day weekend with thousands of military personnel at the Indy 500 and the Coca Cola 600 at Charlotte, both National Guard teams choked at the very end of the race and lost their chance of fame.
In the Indy 500, JR. Hildenbrtandt crashed in the last corner, allowing Dan Wheldon to win win the race. Hildenbrandt finished 2nd.
In the Coca Cola 600, Dale Earnhardt Jr. had a huge lead entering the last lap and in the back stretch when he ran out of fuel, and coasted to 7th place.
The 600 was a very boring race except for the last 10 laps when it finally got exciting. My pick for the race was Matt Kenesth who was dominating during most of the race, finished 14th after having to stop for gas under green.
So, we had some great finishes today so it was worth watching the races from 9:00 until about 8:00.
