and the chat there said the same thing no way Vic can make it or Johnson
i think JR is gonna win, we where all shocked
The guys in the booth were all over the map. VIckers said after the race he knew early in the run he had enough and was proven right. The only guy who was marginal was Johnson in front of Jr. as it turned out.Quote:

the best thing for me was Toyota sticking it to GM and all their employees at the race in their own backyard LOL :laugh:
As someone who lives in a GM town, I must admit I was hoping Vickers ran out of gas, but that was more for the desire to see Jr. or Gordon to win as a Hendrick fan than anything else. Good on Vickers and Red Bull really, it is good to see another team in the winner's circle.Quote:

I think if it was a legitmate jump, he would have been nailed. For all the complaining you do about NASCAR, you keep saying you don't watch but somehow you always point out something you saw.....Quote:

the first one, maybe no, but the 2nd one was quite clear, he was suppose to restart P2 and was almost a half car ahead of the leader before the S/F Line, don't care what excuse is, blah, blah, blah, he broke the rules and should've been sent to the pits. I so damn tired of Helton picking and choosing penalties the way he sees fitQuote:

Rumor is Kleenex is going to sponsor Kyle next year. It should save Kyle a lot of money.
LMAO!Quote:

ah i dont mind kyle he just needs one big attitude change, some way kurt did
Kurt was more adept at hiding his jerk side....Kyle just lets it hang out to dry...Quote:

Some of the drivers were mentioning a piece of metal on the track but Nascar never through the caution.Quote:

it is strange that Jr can't keep up with the rest of the teammates. But just maybe they held him back a bit as to not upset the team. Well that is BS unless you are a JR fan. But lets see how he does next year. My call is that he will be running with the rest of the team.
All I know is the guy won 18 races in Cup, including a Daytona 500. HE won 2 NW championships. He may have had good equipment (the arguement of the JR. Haters for his success) but many guys with good stuff cant win. It is a very fickle thing to run up front week in, week out, and some drivers have adapted to this car better than Jr. has. It requires very subtle chassis changes, and it rewards guys who have a style of being loose. Jr. has always been a guy better with tighter setups that worked better with the old car. Til he gets used to driving out the driver's side window, he wont adapt fully. He is almost there.....just needs to wrap his head around what he needs to do.....
