I had a car show yesterday and then took the family to the local track. They only had 4 vintage race show and all were different makes and shapes.









None vintage modified

That spinout by Kenseth in turn 2 happened right in front of where my dad is camped for this race in the infield. I could'nt get the time off for this race.

I liked Edwards pass at the end. He even said that he planned on hitting the wall but he didn't think it would slow him down THAT much.

I think that was more Edwards being like the kid who falls down and then gets up and say's I meant to do that. I think it was trying to save face. He went into that turn pretty hard and darn near held that car for the win. It was a ballsy move, my hat's off to him for trying. I liked Johnsons post race response to the move. He was quoted as saying I thought I had him and then all of a sudden where the world did he come from.

Great race and awesome results. Johnson for the win, Roush looking strong again, Gordon nice finish in 4th, and scrub nowhere to be seen. Oh and we must not forget the weekly wreck with Michael Waltrip.

Good Lord.
Edwards was balls to the wall.
He knew he would drift up and hit the wall.
So did I.
It was his only shot, and it almost worked.
Would have been cool if it did.

Kyle Busch to drive for Roush!!!!


































Calm down ............ enhance your calm



It's old news.

Jack got lucky when big ears went another way.

Roush hates the Busch brothers almost as much as he hates Toyota....

I don't know if hate is the right word????





With reference to teeota, there has to be a stronger word.

Judging by how hard he went into the corner, I would say it was intentional. A driver of his caliber knows you can't get into the corner that hard and not tag the wall.

Paul Menard is going to Yates next year.

Seems like no one wants to drive for DEI anymore.

[birdman941]

I wouldn't mind taking Theresa for a spin.

I'm still not sold on that it was intentional. I've played and replayed that move on Tivo. It was ballsy I'm just not sure with him in the chase as high as he is would take that chance of really wrecking the car and not crossing the finish line. I still think he thought he could hold the line.

But I will agree with you that the caliber of driver that he is, is among the top's in the sport.

[kiler be]

I thought it was 1 he!! of a move. Last lap you got to go and give it a try. Carl almost pulled it off . EARS would have just to Hit Jimmys car to gain control of the EARSMOBIL and take the win . Or wreak them both.

[birdman941]

Edwards had nothing to lose.
It was the last lap, and even if he crashed he would have been second.
Yellow comes out, field frozen.

[birdman941]

Sad news.
Australian driver, Marcos Ambrose will be driving a Toiletta ext year.
Huge mistake on his part, as there is a connection to Waltrip racing.

[falcongtho3]

Some even Autralians make mistakes...some of them drive Holdens!

[birdman941]

Huge mistake on Ford's part also.
Ambrose will regret his decison, and will never win a cup race.

will very long time before winning a race with Mikey

[falcongtho3]

A Ford on the pole...

Travis Qvaple???

[birdman941]

Well, it looks as if Brian "Pansy" France, determined to make Un-American cars win,
decided to let Toiletta circumvent the "no passing under the yellow line" rule.
On the last lap, Tony Toileta Stewart forced a Chebby below the line,
and yet gave the Toiletta the victory for finishing second.
According to ASSCAR's rules,
if you are forced below the line, the pass stands.
Except, of course,if a Toiletta can win.

[falcongtho3]

Yeah...and somebody needs to take away Carls Playstation. He's learning to many bad habits with it!
Only good thing is the rest of of the chasers (other than Stewrat) had a less than stellar day as well.

Hopefully Jimmie can give drafting lessons again next week...

[blown03Mach1]

That was a BS ruling by NASCAR. Ragan was forced below the line by Stewart and yet they screwed Ragan. I guess the NASCAR officials were afraid that if they did not rule in Stewart's favor, he would come to the trailer and punch them...

Keeps getting worse and worse. So much so that NASCAR has just about lost this fan.

[birdman941]

I guess if you drive a toiletta,
the rules do not apply to you.
