Kudos to Tony for giving a good classy interview. Nothing unfair happened but it's easy to see a lot of drivers just running off and dodging the media after a letdown like that.

BTW, Junior got fourth. Not bad for a driver that supposedly sucks.

Yeah and the 88 team had to fight through a lot of issues today to get that good finish.

Finished 8th at this track earlier this year. Awesome run for them.

I guess it's the traditional trophy for NHIS races. There was a picture of Logano with one after he got his win here a year ago.

I've seen a fair amount of lobster in my day, and them shits they're holding in victory lane is fake. If it were alive, there would be some movement in his legs, and if it were dead, it's been dead a while, and they wouldn't give anything with that much of a stink to the drivers for them to hold. He looks somewhat identical to the one from previous years, anyhow.

That was a great shot Tony Stewart happened to have from his rear bumper of Bowyer doing his burnouts... not sure how ESPN can be faulted in just reporting the story that just happened.

Good job Kyle Busch hasn't won there then

One of the better weekends of racing this year: trucks were pretty exciting, bits of good action in the Cup race, my DVR blacked out Indy, and ARCA was pretty good.

To top it off, Tim George Jr. had his PR lady tweet a pic of him signing my shirt at Salem: http://plixi.com/p/45868038

Loudon's getting better every year, glad the place hasn't lost a date (yet). Great racing in mods, trucks and Cup. Heartbreak for Tony but I don't see why some people here are upset with ESPN.. that was perfect summation of the two big gamblers of the day, one with all the chips and the other with nothing to show. As for Jimmie, he came back to win the Cup with virtually a race to spare despite finishing 39th in this race in 2006 so don't rule him out, but hope we can soon.

This and Texas seem to be JJ's bogey tracks, he can still win so long as baby don't wake him up in the middle of every night.

They'll just put him up in a hotel room the night before the race.

I still have no respect for them because of the quick cut they did to show Matt Kenseth's wife right after he flipped over and caught on fire at Talladega

Now that's bad.

To be fair, and not saying it's right but almost every sports network does that. I think it was the 83 Daytona 500 where CBS showed Stevie Waltrip weeping while getting off the pitwagon moments after Darrell wrecked hard into the wall. Even in other sports like F1, they often show the faces of the driver's family or team members as soon as they wreck. On the plus side, they do that when something good happens to the driver also.

Don't forget CBS at the '90 Daytona 500... they first showed Teresa Earnhardt immediately after Dale blew the tire on the last lap, and she was cheering. Obviously, they were planning on cutting to her before she even knew what happened on the track, so that wasn't entirely on purpose that you saw her cheering after the tire popped.

On the other hand, seconds after Cope crossed the line, they showed her again (definitely on purpose), this time with her consoling a crying Taylor... or, at least I think the kid's name is Taylor. *shrugs*

It's just a part of the TV journalism game, and one of the several reasons I don't feel too bad for getting out of that field.
