    Congrats to Brad!!

    Yea Jimmy being a bitch.
  • Tiger2003
    Well sure looks like Jimmie ran down into him.
  • Tiger2003
    I'm going to file it away. Shut the fuck up Johnson.


    Damn I want to become a Kurt Busch fan! Love his fire.
  • GoChiefs
    The 22 and 48 have always had that rivalry. Love it. Brad probably just locked up his wildcard spot in the Chase. Good run by Jr. Hamlin chokes and loses it. All in all, was a good Pocono race.

    Sometimes that fire hurts him. When he's running like shit and it's early in the race, he loses focus way too easily. Seen that hurt him many times.
  • GoChiefs
    And again...how the fuck did Brad win that race today? Damn. That's unreal. Kid has heart.

    Hamlin didn't choke it was his pit crew and Mike Ford.

    How so? Hamlin put the car in gear during the final pit stop when the car was up on the jack. That causes the tires to rock back and forth a bit and it knocked the lugnuts off. That was all Hamlin, not the crew. You don't touch the gear shift when the car is up in the air.

    The problem was that the nuts were not properly glued to the tire and they fell off. He was having to put them on 1 at a time. I was listening to it on the computer and Mike Ford said sorry about 100 times to Denny in about 2 minutes.

    OK, so blame the pit crew and Hamlin. Hamlin for rocking his tires and the crew for not checking them after the rain. Not sure how any of that is Fords fault?

    They should have never come. Hamiln and him were on different pages. He said to come and Hamlin said no we are going to lose to much track position. Ford just hasnt been like himself.

    A good year at Pocono for Jr. 6th place finish in June, and then this 9th place finish.

    He HAS TO HAVE a good race at the Glen. He is still only 23 ahead of Denny. But is only one back of Smoke. It would be nice to see Tony and Jr both enter the chase with a win. But I would be happy seeing Jr stay consistent in the top ten's and just make the chase. I really think that Steve is the glue holding Jr and that team together right now.

    Hate jimmie j. Kurt would've fell in line and taken a 4th. Wouldve raced him for 3rd but taken 4th. Jimmie wanted 3rd conceded once he made the pass and got pissy with Kurt making him earn it. Kurt probably over reacted but it was stupid for Jimmie to bitch that Kurt would fight for that spot.
  • GoChiefs
    I guess Gibbs isn't like the whole 12 blown motors this season. They are combining their engine efforts with Toyota to start producing the engines now.
  • GoChiefs
    NASCAR is finally getting smart, lets see if the trend will continue to other races, the Pocono races next season will be shortened to 400 miles.

    Kurt is filling in for Brad during the Nationwide race this weekend at Watkins Glen.

    The 400 mile change came less than a week after Dr. Mattioli stepped down and turned the track over to his grandchildren. I bet he's pissed, lol.

    He was gonna get his shot this season, but Penske couldn't get sponsorship for another team. He'll have his chance. He has been noticed.
  • Speedofsand
    Last summer at Daytona he lost the rear wing. I was on pit road with a NNS official who is from Ind. and knows Justin since he was 14. We were watching him drive 180 with no rear traction, sliding, drafting, dirt tracking on the high banks. It was spectacular.

    i like joey, but he looked retarded getting out of the car. First trying to shut the door. Then walking around it like he just had a fender bender.
