Ok, I watched again and he didn't slow as much as I first thought. But he still should have checked his inside, especially with all that smoke. He does turn into Dillon.

In all fairness, the driver that knows how to drive past a wreck is sitting midpack in the points, with 1 top 5 and 4 top 10s on the season.
Perhaps Dillon has been super cautious all season.

Roger Penske was pretty fired up about last week. Basically said Brad did what he expected...got mad about the hits he took from Matt.

Perhaps...but...Dillon didn't cause that.

Kenseth, for getting behind Keselowski on the last lap. After last week, you should have known sneaking up behind Kez would put the fear of God in him and make him go faster.
It won't bother me a bit if Brad gets another Cup. He has driven his ass off this year. (He's also been an idiot.)

Looks like Austin just forgot what the brake pedal is for. This isn't ARCA kid....

Some guys are good under pressure. Kez excels at it.

I just wish he acted like a champion. Whoever wins the Champion is the ambassador for NASCAR for that year...and Kez...isn't really proving that he deserves to be ambassador again, esp. in the post-race at Charlotte.

he finish ahead of the 18 today, end of story.
Points, man, points.
Brian wants us to focus on The Chase and the points. Dillon was never a factor in either.
Aren't you getting tired?

Car behind Austin moves down and is inside him. Apparently, Ausin was indeed braking....and checking his inside. If Austin braked any harder, he would have been rammed from behind. Kyle just drives down Banzai style without looking. IMO, it's all on the best driver in NW history.

After seeing that, I agree that Busch probably should've kept his line but I also think Dillon could've been slowing down a bit more. I'm saying 50/50 on this one.
I also noticed that almost every car coming into that veered left except Dillon.

Austin had a car behind him, who has to dart low because Austin is braking so hard. At that point, Austin is trapped where he is, and Kyle comes down without looking.

Maybe some of us see it differently and aren't just rollin with the flow. But of course you know everything so you're right.
Wow, really? Why's it gotta be like that whenever we disagree?
Not once have I ever claimed to have all the answers. I'm just stating my opinion.

Then just state your opinion and not dogpile on us for not agreeing with you.

What's surprising is he's doing it with the same Roush engines that seem so slow in the Roush cars.
Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure that I made all of maybe two posts on the forum about this subject when you responded to me, one in the race thread and one in this thread. How exactly am I dogpiling on everyone?
I know I tend to state my opinions strongly on here, but every single one of my posts should be assumed to have an unwritten "IMO" at the end of them. They're just my opinions, and the fact that I stand strongly behind them doesn't mean that anyone else will - and that's perfectly fine!

Kyle, for being Kyle after the race. Suck it up for once and man up. I don't care that he was under no obligation to speak to the media after the race but three others that were eliminated seemed to get er done. Thanks your fans, thank some sponsors, bitch about Dillon, tell us how your going to win some races and how everything is now about next year, blah, blah, blah.

I think he made the right choice...because after just being eliminated from his hard fought championship run... anything he would have said would not have been good.

No boneheads from my point of view, just pack racing and the usual stuff that happens.

Mine goes to the Chevrolet drivers that had a chance to team up to beat Kez and didn't do so.

I give it to ESPN, because unless I missed it (and I could have), they never explained why Stenhouse was not in the race, or why so many qualified at the end. This was where they could have taught the viewer something about how qualifying works (because not everybody that watches the race also watches qualifying). I used to think it was silly when Benny Parsons would spend 10 minutes explaining what tight and loose was, but now I miss it. ESPN is just phoning it in.

NASCAR for not throwing a caution when Harvick spun and stopped at the entrance to pit road. Not the safest situation out there
Rubbish. I just watched it a couple more times.
Dillon can take blame for that wreck of the 18

I'm changing my bonehead vote to all the media fools yammering about Matt pushing the 2 to the win. Brad blocked him, but Matt NEVER touches his bumper. Matt even joked that IF he could have gotten to his bumper, he would have spun him.

Rubbish.
I want to know why Kyle decides to finally come down, which is heading right into a group of spun out cars. I think Dillon read the situation right, and it's OBVIOUS that Kyle brakes harder than the cars behind him, not just Dillon. In the end, this kind of wreck behind the wreck happens a couple of times at every plate race.
Johnson, for slowing down the outside on the 2nd to last restart sending Kasey back to about 20th and then Kasey for getting back to the top 10 and losing 4 spots on the front stretch knocking himself out of the chase.
FenderBumper
The "good old days" ??
I think it's going to take you some time to get over this.
It seems Ambrose got into the back of Kasey, and that cost him those 4 spots. But I agree about JJ. He was super aggressive from the drop of the green flag, and that cost him. I think his move to the top was too sudden for Kurt to follow. They almost wrecked, and Kurt decided to go with the guy who was pushing him.
Thank you. Matt wasn't trying to help Brad. He was trying to win. Had he went up high with Newman, he would likely have finished second at best anyway.
You could see him trying to get a run and pull out alongside Brad. He didn't get a good enough push from Cassill to make it happen.
