No, no, no, Dario pinched him off. I don't know if his spotter told him "CAR INSIDE! CAR INSIDE!" or not, none of us do. It's what every one of us would have done, and what Taku did was what every one of us would have done too. If we have that extra strip of pavement, Taku goes a little lo...
They need to bring back the apron at Indy. What you saw there was what would have happened in 1982 with Rick Mears and Gordy Johncock had the apron not been there. Had that little strip of pavement been there, you've got a great finish. That's just racing. Really, the worst possible person won this ...
As a journalist myself, I was offended by that, especially considering that question that Pockrass asked was a legitimate one. Kurt needs to grow up, or his days in the sport will be numbered, no matter how bad Gibbs has it for borderline personalities.
Inexcusably, SpeedTV swapped from Le Mans to NASCAR so they could explain some bullshit about the tires at Michigan. Ideally, that would get someone fired.
Chris, it's not ridiculous at all, and that's good that they've been doing this. But the track was not a Cup-ready venue last year, and the track should not have held a Cup race last year. Changes or not, fans are going to remember what happened, and they're also going to remember Bruton Smith's dic...
I know this comment may get buried since it's right in the middle of a race, but during Cup happy hour last night Chris Neville was talking about the pressure release valve the Cup cars are running this weekend. He said he talked to some teams and they were only able to tandem for about half a lap ...
You know, I honestly don't see what's so bad about pot, if it is pot (and it likely is). There's plenty of worse things out there. It's illegal, yes, but it probably shouldn't be.
Give me a break. Opinions notwithstanding (and I disagree with his opinion), that wasn't all that well-written. NASCAR.com and Time Warner should hold their writers to a higher standard. This isn't some slapdick blog, it's the official website of NASCAR. People need to start writing like it.
I'm curious, how is this any different from what Indycar did at New Hampshire in the rain last year? They ignored severely inclement track conditions in favor of not wanting the race to end under caution. I have a feeling that, if the roles were reversed, and Kyle Busch pulled off the win over Kese...
