No big deal I knew what you meant. I 'PUT' sometimes too.

Best road course race in awhile. I'm glad to see Boris pull off a win. He has been close and is an awesome driver.

Edwards had the field covered for most of the race but encountered some issues. Brad held on for a good finish.

I know the 'Said Heads' were happy, and I was glad to see such a nice guy win a race. Ambrose had a good chance, as did Carl. It'll be good to see Marcos i a Ford next year with RPM.

That was a great race yesterday. I was so glad to see boris win finally, he was running great at the glen also before tony s took him out. Wish the cup cars were running more road courses, cookie cutter tracks get boring.

I was AMAZED Boris pulled it off in the end! I thought that last turn that it was over for him, 'till that horespower pulled ahead of that Chevy at the line. That race RIVALED almost any of the SPRINT races. Those guys went at it like they ALL WANTED the win. A great fan track too.

Boris got the win hes been after for a long time. I wouldve rather seen Papis win, but Boris deserved it.

Boris is great, I would have been happy for Max too. He seems to be a good fit for NASCAR.

Marcos will have STP on on the Ford next year.

Glad to see Greg win his second for the himself and Roush this year. Well timed and hopefully it will make for a good run to the Cup for himself an dhis team. Hated to see JJ get the points lead, but that won't last long. I'm guessing Bowyer isn't going to ever recover from the points hit he took for the illegal car thing.
Reuetiman (sp?) is my hero of the week for doing what 41 other drivers and about 100k fans wanted to do to big ears.

Props to JJ and Knaus. What can you say besides this is how you win championships. Everyone take out your pencils and paper and write this **** down!

Props to Dave Rodgers for making a good call on KBs car, couldve lost twice as many points and really taken themselves out if they had went to the garage. Also good job to Kyle for giving a good interview.

Reutimann's face in his interview said it all...embarrassment for himself and his team. MW hung his head low after that. Not how you want your brand new team to be recognized. I feel bad for MW, good guy trying to put something together and this is how his driver repays him...

Chad and Dave Rodgers are the only two I would wish well. I don't care for any of the yota drivers. Go Biff.

[Con's Mach1]

Goooo BIFFLE! But, come on Carl Edwards.

[gbranton]

The drive for five is quite alive. My prediction: Jimmie Johnson wins next week and extends his points lead.

[blown03Mach1]

I still contend that Jimmy Jonson is BAD for NASCAR! I just turn off the f'n race. I wonder how far NASCARs rating have dropped since the wonder boy got handed his championships with the crapy azz chase rules changes. If NASCAR had half a brain they would switch up the final ten races each year instead of running tracks that favor ole wonder boy...

I just wonder how long until I never watch or go to another race?

I swear the only reason I watch now is in hopes that someone out of the chase takes out wonder boy...

[falcongtho3]

Ditto.

I'm hoping that Kyle will get sideways into him and take them both out. The Ford's are only making progress on the pit stops. This is nearly as frustrating as college football!

[birdman941]

Lots of empty seats.
Wonder if Brian "the Pansy" France has figured it out yet.
Dump toiletta.

[311-420]

My driver's essentially out of the championship running after something letting go last week, but I still enjoy watching. Even if JJ is doing his thing. I just love the style of racing, win or lose for the 18.

[G]

Jamie Mac, I love watching him pass shrub and JJ on the way to another big win. On top of that he's somebody that makes you happy about his success. There might be hope for nascar yet.

Ok, so he didn't win, but he continues to creep away.

I was happy to see him do well, but you have to wonder about the points system when a guy who wins two of the biggest races of the year (Daytona and the Brickyard) as well as a Charlotte race isn't even i nthe chase. I understand it's about consistency, but many 'chasers' haven't even won one race.

I hate the chase. I make every effort to watch the modifieds in person or on TV but Cup is something that might be on in the background. If they keep it up they will ruin trucks and NW too.

I hate the chase, I hate the chase, I hate the chase, I hate the chase, I hate the chase, I hate the chase, I hate the chase, I hate the chase, I hate the chase, I hate the chase, I hate the chase, I hate the chase, I hate the chase, I hate the chase, I hate the chase, I hate the chase, I hate the chase, I hate the chase, I hate the chase, I hate the chase, I hate the chase, I hate the chase, I hate the chase, I hate the chase, I hate the chase, I hate the chase, I hate the chase, I hate the chase, I hate the chase, I hate the chase, I hate the chase, I hate the chase, I hate the chase, and I don't like setting JJ up for success every dang year.

[falcongtho3]

I kinda understand what you're saying, but I think you're being a little vague about your feelings about the Chase....

There is nothing to wonder about.....you get the same amount of points weather its the Daytona 500 or some random Atlanta race. Is it an accomplishment to win the 500 and the BY??? Absolutely, but points are points regardless of the name tag you hang on them. The reason those guys with no wins are in the chase is because they consistently stay up front. Get J-mac to stay up front consistently and with out winning a single race he will be in the chase. Its not the points system's fault that J-mac cant finish well on a consistent basis.
