That "instance" was my example of blocking going too far, wrecking most of the field tells me that the block went wrong YMMV

Oh... remind me though... how many of those blocks were not actual blocks but instead took out half the field?

in the interest of equal time
Huh? You mean a block is ok as long as an accident doesn't occur ?

blocking is for the guy in front, you take your chances and do what you need to do to stay in front.

The faster I go the behinder I get.
The Neck can't turn his head, he doesn't even know there is another lane unless he finds himself in it. When he gets passed he thinks they flew over him and can't figure out how to make his car fly (without getting caught) so he just hopes the car in front of him will move out of the way.

That one is BS. JJ blocked the hell outta Gordon for 10 laps. But that's racing. Gordon should have been more aggressive earlier than the final turn.
Im saying if ur gonna block.. get in front of the guy while hes still behind you

Blocking gets people killed. It's been documented.

Well he was racing in his lane. That's not really blocking if you're in your lane of choice.
Gordon got a few runs on JJ and he let him have it. Gordon couldn't complete the pass without wrecking him. Both raced each other cleanly.
Alright alright relax there Sparticus.. It was a joke.. you know.... one of those "Ha Ha" things

i'm guessing you're not a fan of Newman's.The Neck can't turn his head, he doesn't even know there is another lane unless he finds himself in it. When he gets passed he thinks they flew over him and can't figure out how to make his car fly (without getting caught) so he just hopes the car in front of him will move out of the way.

Blocking is for somebody thats in front of somebody he shouldnt be in front of , now lets discuss "side drafting"
No I haven't but it's on my list of shows I plan on getting into... I've heard it's really good
Right now I'm hooked on Sons Of Anarchy

At Daytona in 2001 he was willing to settle for 3rd place. BLOCKING for his 2 DEI cars that were going to finish 1 & 2, all the while envisioning the $ 2+ million he was going to win that day...The rest of the story is history...

Racing gets people killed. Documented as well.

It just makes more sense when tragedy strikes. They are called races for a reason, after all.

I love that bread slicer emote.
You guys act like someone gets killed every time someone throws a block. 
It's been a while since anyone died in this sport.

This week it's blocking. Last week it was tires. Flared skirts before that. Any predictions on next week? I'm guessing winless Champions will be the hot topic.
Thats a hot topic every week... and it's miraculously never happened lol

In the words of Jeff Gordon..... It would be awesome!

Like I said last month, I would go if it was. As it is, there's a big risk the drivers will race real cautious and not piss anyone off for the later races.

I think that you're wrong. Martinsville has always been a great race. They have more reason than ever to go for a victory next week. I'll see you back there in 2015 when you realize it was a mistake to have missed the race this year.
Side note. I'll drink enough beer for the both of us so no need to worry about that.
No its after Dega, thats when all the anti-plate people start making noise.

I hope I am wrong. Until my daughter is driving, it's just too much hassle to go for less than a great show. Enjoy.
