Long Pond

Now we get to hear about Keselowskis foot for a week.

Congrats to him on a good drive.
 
Anyone that says this wasn't an exciting finish had better check their pulse.
 
Jimmie, when you see the replay, it's pretty obvious you turned down on Busch to start the whole thing
 
Got to give Nascar credit for getting the entire race run.
 
I't's a good thing Kyle didn't win or we would have had to nick name him "SPIN AND WIN".:)

Thats what I saw on the replay. I still think JJ should have punched out the little pinhead. Just for principal.

The only thing I'd add to that is let him get out and don't sucker him through the window when he's strapped in the car.
 
oh my, someone touched jj in a stock car race. maybe he needs to put a don't touch sign on his car.
 
i think the move of the race was johnson making it three wide on that last restart and when kyle tried to block, keslowski got the win. jmo.
 
Did anyone notice Kyle getting sideways on the last corner? That was a nice save. Good job by Kez. He deserves that win.:beerbang:

Kez was faster on the top, so I doubt Kyle would have made the pass. It would have given him a chance to wreck him.
 
I gained more respect for Keselowski today than I have in the last three years. Very classy for him to remember the troops, and he sounded genuinely humble in Victiry Lane.

That's exactly what I was thinking too. JJ sez that he will remember...

I'll bet Rubberhead is skeered! :sarcasm:

Do you think that Rick Hendrick should put Kurt in a headlock to show his displeasure? :rolleyes:

He's always been that way. Never whines, never throws his team under the bus and really believes and understands that wins come from the team, not just him.

Unless I am totally blind, JJ did let him out. The conversation started before he got out, but if Kurt is such a "bad boy" JJ was right there infront of him with no one in between.

I think Kurts biggest problem is he is not the "star" that he is in his own mind. He has had a problem with the 48 for several years. Bottom line is, he will never accomplish what the 48 has...he hasn't came to terms with that yet.

Or maybe his problem is that he only has about half the talent his little brother has...who knows!

Wisdom of Nicole Briscoe: Do you want it to keep raining or do you want the sun to come back out?

Joey Logano: That's a dumb question.

I'd prefer if the "eye candy" knew **** about the sport like Lindsay Czarniak (who is now an ESPN employee).

Anyways, I'm not going to ***** about ESPN. Aside from Briscoe, their coverage is great. It's SPEED's ****ty ****ty god awful terrible crappy ARCA coverage that I'm taking aim at.

I was alluding to the Spencer confrontation so, yes, you've passed your eye examination ;)

As for his character and talent, his actions and record both speak for themselves.

and that has what to do with the jj incident? jj wanted to play touch football and kurt was racing for the best position he could get at the end of the race. last i heard that was the point in racing. hell, i've had more contact than those two had driving on the freeway.
 
I'm not really a fan or hater of either of these guys but from what they showed during the race broadcast, Jimmie Johnson looks to be in the wrong this time. Who knows, maybe they didn't show what all went on between these two but what ever happened it makes for good discussion. Here's some of what was said after the race.....

Jimmie Johnson calls Kurt Busch a ‘crybaby,’ ‘smartass’ following last-lap tangle at Pocono

LONG POND, Pa. – Kurt Busch thought it was just hard racing. Jimmie Johnson thought it was unnecessary.

But both of them can agree on one thing: They don’t like each other, and even less after they traded side-swipes on the final lap of the Good Sam 500 at Pocono Raceway. Busch won the battle by finishing third, a spot ahead of Johnson.

“If a five-time champion doesn’t know how to race, forgive me,” Busch said about Johnson. “I was racing hard.”

This is not the first incident between the two drivers, who have a long history of run-ins, including at Pocono last year and then in 2009 at Infineon Raceway and Chicagoland Speedway.

“He’s a big crybaby and wants to take shots at me when he can,” Johnson said. “He’s good for running his mouth. He can keep running it. I’ll shut it for him.”

Because of their history, Johnson said he went over to confront Busch after the race. Their heated exchange lasted for about a minute while Busch was inside his car and about another minute after Busch got out of his car.

“I should just pull over?” Busch yelled at Johnson. “You came down and you jerked me ... What about last year when you pushed me off the grass?"

As Johnson walked away, Busch screamed: “You can’t stand losing can you?”

Johnson: “No I can’t.”

Busch: “Neither can I.”

Johnson: “I raced you clean all day long. All day long.”

Busch: “I raced you clean, too. It’s OK to race every now and then.”

Neither driver believed he did anything wrong late in the race.

“He’s pretty much a smartass and wants to run his mouth so I had to go over there and say something,” Johnson said.

Busch said he has no regrets with the way he raced Johnson.

“I didn’t know we were supposed to pull over when it came down to five to go,” Busch said. “I raced him hard. I raced him smart. I raced him clean. And he wants to come over here and ***** about it.”

“He came off the turn and did a jab to me left; I did a jab back to the right. It was as clean as I’ve ever seen it. Why can’t we race like this and put on a show for the fans and not have a problem with it.”

Johnson had a problem because he felt he had treated Busch with respect.

“I took a lot of patience and gave him a lot of courtesy throughout the course of the day running him down,” Johnson said. “I could have run into him, I could have moved him a lot of different ways to get that position. But I didn’t.

“I went down there and passed him and off of 2, he ran me up into the wall, or tried to, and I held my ground so I wouldn’t get smashed in the fence.”

Johnson agreed with Busch’s assessment that he can’t stand getting beat.

“I hate losing,” Johnson said. “But that wasn’t the deal today. That wasn’t it. I spent an entire fuel run working by him and got by him and he runs into me off the corner. … I had a few chances to play dirty and I didn’t.”

Busch did not believe Johnson raced dirty, he was just miffed that Johnson was angry about their on-track exchange.

“We were racing hard,” Busch said. “I think that's what we saw on TV and exactly that's what should be reported. There are a lot of times when the 22 is on the short end of the stick of the 48.

“And I raced him hard today. I'm glad I did. I have no regrets in it. … Just accept it. It was great racing.”

But Busch also wants Johnson to accept that he started it.

“If we watch the tape, we'll see that the 48 swerved into us first and I know that before even watching the tape,” Busch said.

Ok good...my ol' "peepers" aint what they used to be! ;)

Your right, action and record do speak for themselves...neither of which Kurt seems to have near as much of as HE thinks he does...

I also want to point out that one of NASCAR fans biggest complaints about JJ is he is too Vanilla...he shows emotion toward a guy who he has a history with and suddenly he is a cry baby. It all makes my head hurt lol
 
Hey, the little blonde Miss Sprint Cup who was behind BK (not burger king you fools :D) in Victory,Gatoraid whatever lane. Anyone gots nakkid pitchers??






Wanna buy some?:D:D:D:D:eek::eek:
 
The way I see it JJ gave Kurt a little jab, and Kurt just gave him a jab back. One thing Kurt was right about, it did make the finish more exciting for the fans. Or at least for me anyway.:)

100% agreement. I don't like KuRB at all, but I do like his old school attitude toward contact. I'm sick and tired of the whole 'respect' model these drivers at the top created for themselves. It simply breeds a boring open wheel style of racing. In open wheel, Kurt would have not avoided or responded to JJ's swipe because the stewards would have moved JJ back a few spots for violating the avoidable contact rule.

What's the point of having fenders if you can't use them when someone blocks or hogs the track?

Last year when we were racing in Gainesville Fl, we were eating at a sports bar, and Tony Shumacher, the driver of the Army top fuel dragster brought Kurt over and introduced him to us. Away from the track he was a very quiet and nice guy.:)
