BTW, that spoiler really does a bang up job keeping cars from getting airborne doesnt it :lol:


Yes I know he got pushed over but still kind of a defeats the purpose moment. Oddly similar to Horniday yesterday too.


How's the spoiler supposed to prevent cars from flipping over if they are pushed?

I'm glad Clint won, especially after what happened with him after Loudon.

Hamlin's only 2 points out of the lead according to the ESPN guys.

Great weekend of racing in both series. Can't say the same about the finish just now.

Great racing all day. Bit of an anti-climactic finish, but, honestly, the coverage from espn all day was horribly pathetic, even by there own terribly low standards.


ESPN flat sucks. It says something pretty profound that I prefer the network that has the damn gopher.

If that crash would have happened before the white flag it would have been epic. Now its just a very good race.

The last restart was all kinds of Amazing, if the crash had happened slightly earlier then the restart would've been epic, or slightly later they would've let them race to the line...

Just sucks it happened when it did, but the 4 wide stuff behind three pairs of cars shooting ahead for the lead would've been amazing had we got the rest of the final lap in....both packs probably would've wrecked the way they were going at it!

This IS EPSN after all. It wouldnt be a NASCAR broadcast by them if they didnt manage to fuck it up somehow.

I seriously thought that Truex, Reutimann and Montoya were going to smush in the trioval with the way they were converging on each other.

Yeah, I know he's mad and I don't care. I do not care. I did not care then. I do not care now. I'm here to race him.

I'm not an expert on the subject, so I don't know for sure, but it seems that ESPN either doesn't bring very many cameras tot he track, or the production crew really sucks. Not totally sure why they consistently miss things.

At least Gilliland didn't drive up over Allmendinger.
Okay finish, but I really wish they would have wrecked 1 lap sooner or in the tri-oval so we could have a GWC.
