I'll give credit to Dumbo Ears, he is a very good driver and ran an excellent race. However, I'm not so sure it's so much him as it is that team. They have found something that makes that car move like that.

There is no way that car week in and week out in restarts pulls away and completly blows everyone else out. I'm not saying there is something illegal(not ruling that out either) but they have found something to make that car dominate. As I said before, right now I'm convinced the other Kyle(as in Petty) could even keep that car out front. LOL

Whatever it is, "it" will become illegal.

If and when they find it.

I'd say it's definitely him. He took over the 5 car from Terry Labonte and consistently ran top 10 and led laps before crashing. Then he took over the 18 and picked up how he was in the 5 car, except now he's not crashing. Love him or hate him, the kid is a natural driving talent.

I hate the Shrub (I think I've posted that about 10 times in the thread already lol)! I know there's nitrous in that car considering the how fast he'd take off on the restarts--he's using the space between them ears to store it!

I say we bust his head open and see if you're right.

j/k I mean no harm to bigears.

There is no doubt that the idiot is a very good driver. In fact, he could very well be a dominate driver for many years. However, in the 5 car he was good but not dominate. Also don't forget he was on a very good team as well.

Even with a good car he still has to bring it home and he has done that 5 times this year. I'll give him that credit. But what I am referring to is the way that car pulls away from everyone else the way it does. That car week in and week out pulls out 6-8 car lengths on a caution restart. I think credit to the team needs some credit as well. I think they are a big part of his success this year.

Yes, I dislike Kyle Busch. But when he is not making right hand turns on an oval track or playing county fair demolition derby with the rest of the field he has become one of the best.

Stewart and Newman to HAAS CNC racing and Stewart as part owner?

Scroll down to almost half way down the page.

Should make Stewrat happy, not that it really matters to me.
I'd hate to see Mark go to HMS. Then I wouldn't be able to call them all a talentless bunch of lucky buffoons...

[birdman941]

Anyone else notice that Jeffy cannot drive the COT?
He does not posess the ability,
just as Jack Roush said he didn't.
Haaa haaaa.......................

Shrub is an AZZ, he never mentioned his brother to offer congrats. Kurt always mentions him. I was happy with the outcome today and from time to time we saw some good racing. Juan is my new hero.

[gvervoren]

That was funny with Juan. Then he openly admits that he did it on purpose.

[ylopony]

Dang, I missed the whole race. I was in the Bahama's at the Atlantis Resort and just got in. I love Juan Pablo.

[falcongtho3]

Hmmm....Atlantis in the Bahamas...or lame, rained shortened Cup race that did have a WWE level confrontation? Yep, you missed out!

[02mach1]

Ok it is time for 400 go Carl 99#

[falcongtho3]

Dumbo lucks out again. No hard feelings about the HMS finshers, either. I can't believe Matt didn't do a better job in getting Edwards a better push to get out in front of Kyle. Carl probably had a better chance with Kurt getting him to the front if it'd gone the full distance.

[birdman941]

It was great to see the 24 wreck.

Actually I didn't enjoy that at all. I was looking forward to seeing him deal with bigears.

I think I liked the 48s wreck better.

Nothing like a little last lap carnage to make it really interesting. We all knew there was going to be the big one...just didn't expect it when it did. But then, you never do.

[ylopony]

Of course you guys know I'm going to say I hated to see the #24 & #48 get taken out. However, you have to admit that Gordon showed all the class in the world with the media. He didn't pass the blame, shove the camera man, or curse to no end. Instead, he showed that he is a class act.

With all that said I really hate restricter plate racing. There is nothing exciting about the last 30 laps taking an hour because of all the cars bouncing off the wall. I think it would have been more exciting watching Busch, Gordon, and Edwards fight it out over the last 10 laps than slow restarts, wrecked cars, and deciding who hit the scoring loop first in the last caution.For me this is not what makes racing interesting. And what is really the most distressing of all of this is that Kyle Busch won again.

[Thunderbolt]

That race was making me ill when Gordon, E Jr. and Johnson were 1,2,3, and then the commentators say Martin is going to Hendrick's and he was in 4th place at the time. BAAAAARF!! This reminds me of another team in sports, the New England Patsies. BAAAAARF again.

I think you need to look at your avitar. The team you display has done far more than the cheating Patriots. I feel the same way about the Squeelers, BAAAAARF. LOL

[birdman941]

The most horrible thing was the coverage on TNT.
Commercial after commercial.
I was only 1/2 watching it and it was very annoying.
A little commercial in the corner of the screen with no race audio,
then, when that's done, another freaking commercial!
It was absolutely sickening.
Just let Fox and Speed cover the races and be done with it.
All others are crap.

You won't hear a Patsy fan say that. The difference between now and back in the 70's is that their were alot less sources to burn stuff into the ground. Today you have cable tv and the internet to burn everything into the ground even more. Hell, if the Steelers won 4 Superbowls now I'd probably hate them too.


I thought the small tv commercials were a good idea. I hate when it goes to commercial and you miss something. I think the one thing they need to do is fire Kyle Petty. I think he sucks. Put Jarrett or some kind of legitimate champion racer in the booth.

I also liked the idea of the small box for commercials while still seeing the race. The only problem was there were just way to many of them. As for Kyle, give him a little hippie weed and I'll bet he will be just fine in the booth.

[FEARED]

You guys need to calm down and "Hydrate with some COKE ZERO!!"

Are you kidding me? I hate all those **** plugs with products, its like every other word coming out of their mouth. Maybee one every once and a while, but **** kyle, lay off on the product placement.

Other than that, intresting racing.. i dont agree with the end though, i wanted to see an acctual finish.
