Re: NASCAR thread
I'm also not a fan of Mark Martin nor am I one that dislikes him either. I'm glad that he won this weekend. He's a class guy and it's always nice to see someone with class win.
As for someone who has no class at all. Yes I would be talking about Kyle Busch. I wonder if after he screwed up in pit road and was penalized for going to fast he called on the radio and told his crew he was sorry for causing them to lose for his mistake. He sure did make sure he called them a few weeks ago and thanked them for blowing his chance to win. I'm sure he didn't. |

Re: NASCAR thread
'Interesting' ending to the race today. Edwards nearly cleared the catch fence. I think they said 8 spectators were injured from debris at the end when Carls tapped, or was tapped by, Brad for his first victory. I thought it was funny at the time that Carl had the semse of mind/humor to run across the finish line. I don't know if that's how they scored him, bu tat least he beat Kyle and JJ, and Jeff.
Interesting that Newman and Jr. were in the same situation today as they found themselves yesterday, only to not win again!

Re: NASCAR thread
What an ending! I thought Carl was a goner. Or one of the fans. Unreal. But talk about a class act, completely owning up to the whole thing. That's the reason he's my #1 driver. Think the Shrub would do that?
BTW, who else thinks poor Robbie Gordon needs a break? That poor guy has been wrecked just about every race for the past 2 years. He needs all the help he can get considering he's the only Owner/Driver in all of NASCAR!! Maybe we need to start collecting donations.

Re: NASCAR thread
I'm sure that I'm in the minority here. I absolutely despise restricter plate racing. Nascar is talking out of their when they speak about safety. If they were really concerned about safety they would get rid of this kind of crap.
When I watch a race I want to see these guys go at it. As much as I hate guys like both the Busch brothers, Stewart, or anyone in a Toyota(yes I am a fan of the #24 & #48) I want to see them race. I hate this crap where they are bunched up this way so that Nascar can sell commercials and put the drivers and fans at risk. I agree with Carl Edwards comments that someone is going to get killed out there before Nascar wakes up and gets rid of this restricter plate crap. |

Re: NASCAR thread
That was a pretty scary crash, it reminded me of the one I saw in person at almost that same spot involving Bobby Allison when he ripped apart 125ft of catch fence 50 yards from where I was sitting. That was the last race without restrictor plates and shows that the plates are a failure.

Re: NASCAR thread
I like how Carl didn't put the blame on Brad. Like Carl said, it was just racing. He didn't think Brad was that far up on him so he moved down to block and tagged him. I felt sorry for Newman especially the last lap Saturday. He had it won until the last couple of seconds and then friday he gets a car landing on top of his hood. At least he still finished 3rd on Sunday.

Re: NASCAR thread
I was at the Talladega race. Got there on Thursday and left Sunday night. Saw the Arca, Nationwide, and Cup races. The wreck in turn 3 on lap 7 happened right in front of us. We were camped in the middle of turn 3 @4 right up against the infield fence. Best RV spot in the infield. Had a great time. The infield at Talladega is nothing short of Mardi Gra. Whine all you want about restrictor plates. Their gonna make the plates even smaller after that race. Myself, I don't mind the plate races at all. I think their great.

Re: NASCAR thread
Good race at Darlington. Great to see Martin still winning. A real class driver.

Re: NASCAR thread
I was happy for MM. Way to go.
It did upset me what happened to Kyle bushy. He was still running at the end and that upset me.

Re: NASCAR thread
Now THAT was funny! Props to MM for being the great guy and derving winner that he is. A shame that the Biff had the class of the field all night and ended up not winning.

Re: NASCAR thread
Congrats to MM. Class act all the way. In fact whether you hate his teammates or not in JJ & JG all three of them are class acts. Same can be said for Biffle as well. Doesn't matter how tough a loss they have they are professional and show respect to the media and the fans.
I'm just glad to see Kyle Busch with another lousy finish. What a waste. I hate seeing that kind of talent on a pathetic human being as he is. The Nationwide race was another example of that. He lost a tough race he should have won when his tire blew with two laps left. But as usual he stormed out and not a word to the media or anyone. But when he wins he sure knows how to hug the camera. |

41 other guys, as well as the race winners, manage to do a pretty good job of it every week. In fact, I seem to recall last year that Kyle even managed to pitch a b!tch after he won a race, ranting about the COT!
