Re: NASCAR thread
The commentators practically lulled the audience into thinking Truex had the race locked. Then the caution. Truex had himself beat right then and there. Even though he was pitting right along with everyone else, he had no confidence he was gonna win on a restart, so of course he screwed that up.

Re: NASCAR thread
^^Agreed. I'm glad Gil Martin is back with Harvick. Gives me a little hope for the Chase. I'm heading to Richmond on Saturday.
Im hoping Gordon gets denied access into a wildcard on Saturday. My buddies and I have a bet going this year. The highest finisher gets a 30 pack. The lowest finisher has to buy digger apparel and wear it out bar hopping. My buddy turtle is a die hard Gordon fan and everyone else already has drivers locked into the chase |

Re: NASCAR thread
It was an all around boring race. Bristol was pretty exciting to watch, Atlanta, not so much. Edwards is done sadly, he's not 100% knocked out but I highly doubt he'll make it. Guess I'll be cheering for the 16 and 17 teams with hoping the 99 team can get a win lol.

Re: NASCAR thread
No, it was'nt that exciting. I'm looking at the scrolling screen after 150 laps and 13 cars are on the lead lap. I nodded off a couple times, but I do like the night races. Looking forward to Richmond this weekend.

Re: NASCAR thread
In my eyes (as crappy as they are), the season could end now and I would be happy. Gordon took the last chase spot from Pee-Wee! Got to love it... Now we get to hear Pee-Wee whine for the rest of the season.
BTW props to Jr for assisting his team mate.

Re: NASCAR thread
I can't believe they ran that race as late as they did, but I'm glad they did. I think the rain delays made it even more interesting. That caution around lap 280 turned everything on its ear.

Re: NASCAR thread
After the 2nd rain delay I would have bet my Mach they would have canceled the race until today, but I just happened to turn it back to the race and shockingly they were restarting it. Saw the whole race and it was only about 10pm here. I luv the west coast time zone for sporting events.
That was incredible Bowyer went 123 laps on a tank of gas, especially when the other cars that pitted around the same time as him were pitting again. I think someone already mentioned this, but that sucks that Kenseth is going to the 'Yota side. He's been a Ford staple.

Re: NASCAR thread
The way that race ended was just really weird, almost seemed fixed with how gordon somehow "magically" ended up front like that. Edwards team screwed themselves with pitting 5 laps before the rain fell. Whoever made that call should be fired lol.

Re: NASCAR thread
I bet you don't hear KB whine once. He didn't whine immediately following the race, he's not going to whine weeks later, either.

Re: NASCAR thread
It was a miracle he even did that one sentence interview. Anymore than one sentence and he would have been whining.

Re: NASCAR thread
lmao And people wonder why I hate and have no respect for ANY hendrick's team, today proved exactly why. Go Blue Deuce! Hopefully Roush is putting time into their 2013 program, these past few months have been just terrible!

Re: NASCAR thread
So I'm watching the Cowboys lose to the Eagles and I'm taping the NHRA Finals....I switch over to the Nascar race and I see every one in the pits. I think it's a victory celebration and then I see Clint Boyer high-tailing it to the pits in a dead run............but all the cars are still on the track with a red flag.
After seeing the replays I think it was Boyer's fault BUT they were all blaming little Jeffy Gordon. Big Ron |

Re: NASCAR thread
Jeff purposely slowed down for clint to pass him and was going to wreck him either way clint went on the track. Rubbings racing, they rubbed a little then Gordon got all cry baby like that we have come to know. How Johnson and Brad were hitting eachother last week, that is good racing. Watching Kyle busch wreck Ron hornaday was different. Still think Gordon overreacted and BETTER be parked for next weekend.

Re: NASCAR thread
Clint Bowyer bumped into Gordon (just a typical racing incident). and Gordon got into the wall because of it. Gordon over-reacted and waited for Clint to catch up to him and intentially took him out. Big Ron, the last wreck that caused the big fight was Gordon fault by a long shot. Like I said, he over-reacted to a typical racing incident.

Re: NASCAR thread
Everyone thought Gordon was at the bottom of the pile (which I understand he likes), but he was actually pinned to the tool box by his own guys (again, a favorite of his) to protect hmi from Boyers crew. I did see a guy being walked off under his own power with a bloodied face. You also won't see a replay of the interview with Clints crew chief as he made a slip up that the newwork had to appoligize for. Probably see another fine for that as well.

Re: NASCAR thread
I never saw Clint's crew chief swear? He was VERY close to it but bolted off before he did lol. They have every right to be p*ssed off, They had a legit shot at the title too...

Re: NASCAR thread
He did hold back a few times, but at the end of interview he said something to the effect of; there's no reason for this kind of bu!!s**t. As he walked off the reporter apologized for the words.
I'm not sure he had a realistic shot at the title, but the events of the day put him out of third place, and I'm sure the payday for foruth is not nearly as good as third, or especially second which became very much possablilty after JJ tagged the wall.

Re: NASCAR thread
Nascar is like wrestling now. Its what the fans what to see and the way real racing was back in the day. Just trying to get people interested again. The fight was probably staged.
Having said that, I say 'why to go Jeff. Bout time you got some back bone'. |

Re: NASCAR thread
First off I would not say Bowyer had a REALISTIC **** at the championship. He has over produced in the chase as well as all season.
As for Jeff's actions, people have criticized him about not being aggressive enough and now that he took action he is getting criticized for too aggressive or just plain dumb. Should he have waited this late to hand Bowyer what he deserved for the previous 30 races, maybe not. But I for one loved every minute if it! Bowyer will now have to consul himself to the fact that maybe he needs to consider what may have been if I were not a jerk on the pavement.
