Funny how the cars that run up front when it gets dark run like they are on rails. Boy ole Tony had everyones number in the last 50 laps.. I saw the video several times and agree that Robbie may have really thrown that cage padding out of his car to get the lucky dog late in the race...He didn't run over it and it surely didn't look like anything was on the trackl @ that time. Jr. had a good car, Kenseth is like Houdini how that guy can come back from adversity. Gordon just seem to be having a bit of bad luck whether caused by his own mistakes or bad equipment or even worse other bad drivers....They're plenty of them out there..JJ can drive & is another one of those guys that get the break or setup just right @ the right time..Harvick & Kayne just not there year.. Although I expect a good finish for Kayne at least in Texas.. He won the spring race...On to Texas... I am leaving on Tuesday morning with camper in tow for that race.. What an event, I highly encourage anyone that thinks that Nascar racin is boring (all those left turns) go to a race live, Half the fun is in the camping areas leading up to the race.."Gone Racin" Write back after the race...
Stay Safe alll!!!

Yoop, I think it was Reed Sorenson who got caught doing the same thing. Can't say for sure, but yes it happened earlier this year also. I think NBC crossed the line by accusing Robby of doing it. I really thought poor Dave Burns was going to get his butt kicked. Let NASCAR do the finger pointing and investigating. All Dave would have had to do was go ask Robby off camera if he knew anything about it and whether or not he wanted to talk. You don't corner Robby Gordon and accuse him of something, the horns will come out of his head and you will get the raging bull.
Yeah Yoop, I would have put Burton in over Junior :wink: That was after seeing how Junior was having some problems in practice Saturday.

Who do ya'll want to win and (for fantasy points) need to win. Also who do you think will win? Of course, I want Stewart or Hamlin to win. I need Vickers, Kenseth, Shrub, or -and don't laugh too loud- Menard to win. (sometimes don't like this particular fantasy set up) As far as who I think will win, hmmmm, it's hard to say, but I think the winner will come from the top ten in qualifying. No ryhme or reason, just a feeling.

This was a weekend for dominating cars & drivers.. All three races @TMS were won by Chevy's (Boyer) led over half of the laps in the truck race. (It was about 38 degrees in the stands for this night race) Harvick dominated in the Busch race led 145 or 200. Stewart in the Cup race (led 278 of 334) The Chase is really down to 4 drivers. With the two @ the top pocketing the lucky horseshoes.. Just goes to show the never give up attitude race to race.. Really was cold this weekend with the mild weather on Sunday along with the rain... Traffic after was a b-----d...Took 4 1/2 hours to get home. Drive is usually 3 1/4...
Stay Safe out there!!!

Gordon re-married :roll: i think they should tweak the Chase a bit. IMO they should allow the defending champion to be in the Chase as long as he's within the top 15 after the first 26 races. being the Champ should have a little more weight.
