Whoever created this trophy gets my vote for bonehead...
Another nominee for bonehead move is JR for messing up his motor at the end of practice and having to start at the back for an engine change.
To expand a bit , he also said that when he popped the transmission out of gear in order to coast into the pits for a plug check , he had inadvertantly put the gear into third instead of neutral. When he let the clutch back out the thing overrevved like crazy and made bad noises.I missed the story on that, what happened anyway? To damage the engine I mean.
That "may" have been a ploy to get a better engine if he didnt like the one he had. You cant change an engine without showing the inspectors reasonable cause, so over rev it.Dumb rookie.

Thats the "may" part of my post O wise one of bumperville.IDK about that. Wasn't Jr near the top of the speed charts, and qualified top 5? If he did kill it, why go and tell everyone?
