Always a good show. Did anyone catch JenJo Cobb as "Ginger" in the pre-race show? Va-Va-VOOM! :beerbang:
 
Well that has to be the quote of the year from the booth..."this (exciting racing) is making my make-up run.".........:eek:
 
It has been a dang great race. :beerbang:

Mikey said he was going to "hug everyone of those guys". :growl:
 
I must say, with the way they've been running, took longer for the wreck to happen than I thought it would.
 
Here comes Hornaday.. I guess if you can bring home the steering wheel it's a good day at that place.

I just wonder if they would have called him for that if it wasn't the last lap.

Called him for what? Didn't improve his position below the yellow line. Like I said, he was in front of the 51 when he dipped below the line to begin with.
 
Same exact thing as Regan Smith. Kyle should've been stripped of his win.

A smaller team breaks a rule, they get severe penalties and DQ'd. A big team or big name driver breaks a rule and it's no big deal. Second time this week.

NASCAR's starting to look like the school that protects the bully because he's on their football team.
 
I really thought the Kyle haters would be out in droves. That dang kid can drive. :beerbang:

How do you figure that? Look at the replays. He didn't touch the line until he was already leading, and he touched it sideways as well. He DID NOT go below the line to advance his position. 50 or so yards BEFORE the line he was ahead and still above the yellow.

The rule saya you can't go below the yellow line to advnce your position. It DOES NOT say you can't touch it at all.

I did look at the replays. You can't tell by the replays because the cars were so far apart (Kyle being FORCED down there and all:sarcasm:).
 
A driver can run below the yellow line, he can qualify below the yellow line but he cannot advance his position below the yellow line. Kyle did not advance his position below the yellow line.
 
I watched the replay 5 different times from different angles & it looked to me like Kyle was headed below the yellow when he and Almirola made contact. He kinda got over on Almirola & whats messed up is he's the guy's teammate & boss. As they came through the tri-oval, Kyle gave him just enough of a nudge to get him loose & then made the dive same as Harvick last May on J-Mac. As they were comming to the stripe, Almirola was still ahead by a little then they made the contact & Busch slid below the yellow slightly sideways. Then Alimrola, nevermind that this guy signs your paychecks, went to NASCAR & said WTF! Whatever, Busch won this deal last year as well as a bunch of races this year. NASCAR prolly figured he'd win somehow anyway, this is Kyle's series & they don't care now if this happens again on Sunday, something will have to give. Congrats to Kyle anyway, those other guys are lucky he doesn't run the entire campaign. He should grow a gotee, gain a few more girlfriends & get sponsored by a beer company...

My bad, didn't hear about that. I live overseas so I miss out on alot of current info. I thought the 51 was one of Kyle's trucks...??

Well they didn't call him on it because he didn't break any rule!

Almirola squeezed him down, he was blocking him, I watched 5 replays or that great finish, Kyle won....end of story.

Try again. Smith was completely behind Stewart when he went below the line, and was completely below the yellow line as he passed Stewart. When Busch his the yellow line in the truck race he was at the very least side by side with Almirola (if not already slightly ahead). He did not advance his position below the line.

Seriously Andy, just a few short months ago, you used the phrase "Kyle Busch is a driving god" in one of your posts. Did you get a seriosly good deal on a case of Hateraide or something? Seems like you've jumped abourd that Basch bashers band wagon again.
