ahh, it rained hard for like 30 mins yesterday at the dirt track and they got it goin again.....and thats on dirt harder to dry. so im not worryed about rain for a nascar race anymore.
 
I've already figured that I like the FOX broadcasts better than NBC ,

Kurt Busch and Ryan Newman wrecked! :eek:
 
Whisky Tango Foxtrot is goin on??? I just PRAY there won't be a "BIG ONE"
 
I understand that it is a Network Broadcast, but thede dang commercials are driving me COOCOO!
 
I don't know once you get a lap down youe race is just about over. :(
 
I just hope they DON'T blame Tony, and that BRAWL was kinda like the old days!
 
It might not be intentional, but it was Tonys fault. And it is the second car Tony got into today.
 
Looks like double secret probation is surprisingly, not enough. The guy just doesn't care. Trying to win the damn race on the restart.
 
What Tommy Baldwin and his crew did was wrong. That was Tony's fault but I'm like Wally, it is racing, it happens all the time. One car is faster than the other and they touch.
 
Tommies view was that he just went to talk. He said Zippi solved him.

He had no business in the 20 pit with his whole crew. Just to talk my butt.
 
The Big Oval Trailer will decide, BUT I didn't see Tony do anything wrong when Kasey lifted.

That is true. But I can understand why the 9 team would be hostile. That makes the second time that Tony has put Kasey out of A race.
 
That's Racin'? I'm getting so tired of hearing that excuse. The simple fact is that Tony has been at this all year and Wally is defending him. Makes me sick. When someone is in front of you and you're faster, does that make it ok to run into him? If so, there would only be about 5 cars left on the track after every race.

When is NASCAR going to sit him out for a race or two?

When the car in front of you lifts, there are no brake lights so what are you gonna do when you are running 180? If you don't want wrecks you are gonna have to take the human element out of it. So lets make these cars remote control and run around following the leader.
 
I agree Kat2220. Dangit, Tony was racin and Poor lil Kasey just didn't get shifted.
Tony barely touched him. Kasey said he was loose and didn't really know Tony had touched.
And Tommy Baldwin said he went down to talk to Zippy about that "moron" Tony.
That's when all He!! broke loose.
I am certainly happy Wally made the comments he did, cause Benny Baby was all
set to crucify Tony!!!!!
Well, both chiefs are "summoned" to the "OVAL OFFICE".
We will hear in a day or so, just what NASCAR thinks about this latest episode.

BTW, I am glad to have NBC back!!!!!

Granted. However, when you're 20 feet back of someone and the distance is rapidly decreasing, it should be pretty obvious to anyone that you're faster. I have to watch the same thing with trailers around our area. Most of them don't have working brake lights; that doesn't make it ok for me to rear end them.

Do you realize how fast 20 feet closes at over 100mph? Faster than you can react and Tony said he got out of the throttle.
 
BTW. What was this caution for. So Jeff could get back on the lead lap. :lol:

They're both running over 100. Closing speed at their rates is no different then me doing 50 gaining on the before mentioned trailer doing 40.
 
Ok i have to add my take on all this...... it would be 1 thing if Tony had been a good boy all season and this was his first incident, but it isn't . He has screwed up quite a few times with his impatience this season. It is pretty obvious he has the best car today or one of the best, he could of used a little more patience and not taken out Kasey. All i can say is what goes around comes around.
 
Oh BTW , i am not bashing Tony i like the guy a lot and have followed his career for quite awhile. I just feel he needs a little cooling off.
 
I'm blaming Tony, he had fresh tires a lot of the other guys didn't , he could of used better judgement....just my opinion.
