Always wanted to do that at least once. Now if you bulldoze the track, all I'll have to drive to is Dover.

Sorry for not posting in a while.
ALL rain shortened races should be stript from the record books. The strong cars today were Kevin Harvick, Earnhardt Jr., Tony Stewart and Jimmie Johnson. None of those drivers finished in the top 8. Kurt Busch did not have a good car today, Kurt Busch has not have a good car since Daytona, and Kurt Busch will not make the chase, but because of fuel and rain he is the winner today. just look at the top 10:
1 Kurt Busch (Bad car all year)
2 Michael Waltrip (Has never been good in a car that was not owned by DEI)
3 J.J. Yeley (Wait, he still has a ride with a team)
4 Martin Truex Jr. (Not a name that has been talked about much these days)
5 Elliott Sadler (Wow, where has he been)
6 Reed Sorenson (Who?)
7 Casey Mears (I cannot comment on Casey Mears because he has was upfront for a bunch of laps today)
8 Denny Hamlin (He got the finish that he should have got)
9 Jimmie Johnson (I do not like him, but he should have won the race, or finish in the top 5)
10 Bobby Labonte (He ran ok today, but he probably did not have a top 10 car)
and you look at the drivers who had good cars today and where they finished
7 Casey Mears
8 Denny Hamlin
9 Jimmie Johnson
11 Jeff Gordon
12 Jeff Burton
13 Tony Stewart
14 Kevin Harvick
22 Clint Bowyer
24 Dale Earnhardt Jr.
1 Kyle Busch 2496
2 Jeff Burton -64
3 Dale Earnhardt Jr. -144
4 Carl Edwards -234
5 Jimmie Johnson -276
6 Jeff Gordon -325
7 Denny Hamlin -346
8 Greg Biffle -377
9 Tony Stewart -454
10 Kasey Kahne -465
11 Clint Bowyer -475
12 Kevin Harvick -480
13 Matt Kenseth -495
14 Martin Truex Jr. -551
15 Ryan Newman -591
16 Brian Vickers -593
17 David Ragan -608
18 Kurt Busch -702
19 Travis Kvapil -765
20 Juan Montoya -791

Both Busch and JPM are idiots. That incident on the track could have involved other cars. They should have took their battle off the track. Not a good idea using these million dollar race cars as weapons. I really feel bad for the guys in the shops having to repair these things because of stupid incidents like this.

A friend of mine says she may stop watching nascar. She really can't stand Busch and she is just sick and tired of hearing about him. Michael Waltrip in the top ten tells you all you need to know about that race.

Ooooh I'm furious. I am SO SICK of this freezing the field on the last lap nonsense. You watch 4 hours of this just for it to end like that on the last lap?
That's like the Empire and Rebellion in a dogfight, but they end the battle prematurely because a TIE fighter exploded. Fight it out until the end.

Now that smoke has left JGR, I can't wait to hear all the "wonderful" things he has to say about toyota. When JGR left chevy I and a feeling smoke would jump ship. I don't know maybe smoke didn't mind toyota but I think he wanted to drive a chevy.

Have I said lately home much I hate Kyle Busch? I was actually rooting for Pretty Boy Johnson to win. Damned cautions.

Didn't catch the race last night, and by the sounds of it, I didn't miss anything.

after hearing of Stewart's leaving JGR, I was\am furious at him for leaving. Whether he hates Toyota or not, I don't care about the make of the car he drives; as long as it's the #20 Home Depot orange and black car at JGR. While I used to think I'd support him no matter what, I now question my fan loyalty to him. AFter the Homestead-Miami race in November, my complete loyalties will switch to Hamlin and Busch.
I've lost respect for Stewart. I don't appreciate him leaving his team a year before his contract is up. I don't think he's appreciative of how long Gibbs and his team has stuck with him.
all-in-all, he made a bad call on leaving JGR. I think not being with Zippadelli will hurt his performance greatly, and I hope it kills his racing career so he can see what a dumb thing it was to leave JGR.
strong words from a Stewart fan? Maybe. But I'm ticked, and he was the main reason I started watching NASCAR and the reason I became a fan of it.

I would not be suprised at all if you see Stewart switching over to Haas before the season's out. If he doesn't make the chase I almost think it's guaranteed. He needs to get one of those cars in the top 35 for Newman and use his past champion's provisional(if necessary) for the car he drives next year.
And this would probably lead to Joey Logano going to the 20. I think they are moving him along too fast though. Not a good idea. Anyone remember Casey Atwood?

Was away on vacation and was glad I missed another Kyle win. I have to admit I held my nose and rooted for JJ to win or bump him. Better yet they both take each other out and Kevin wins. 
I guess asking for Loyalty in todays age is like a pipe dream Petra.

He managed to win them a few championships in the time he's been with them though.

thought I had replied to this but I guess my internet decided to be stupid. I think it'd be a really unwise choice to move Logano into the #20 so early. He needs to be in the NW series two or three more years.

I know that...but the thing I'm upset over is: he has one more official year to be with JGR. He's getting out of it a year early, which in my opinion, is showing how ungrateful he is.

You have no idea how much it sickened me to root for Johnson.
As for Stewart, I don't think Gibbs is losing anything right now. Tony hasn't been a real force on the track this year. I don't think Toyota agrees with him. Tony is an independent guy who needs to call his own shots.
Anyways, I'm limiting myself to watching races that start later in the day or at night. Otherwise I fall asleep.
