I'll be in turn 4. Old Dominion, Section E, Row 14.

Not the best tickets but I got 'em at $65, face value is $90.

Plus, I have my FanView. :nyanya:
 
Looking at the seating chart, you'll be more in turn 3, just about opposite of where we sat a few years ago in turn 2. Still, you'll be able to see them coming around to the finish and that's best as far as I'm concerned. Too bad you couldn't get closer to turn 4 where you could see the pits and all.
 
That wreck looked like the big one a Dega! Jeez, Carpentier got bounced around like a pinball.
 
Specialty cameras SUCK!

Thank God for MRN actually calling the race. Fox is spending so much time with their frickin specialty cameras (gopher, bumber, roof, wall, etc) that they are completely screwing us viewers out of good side-by-side racing. AUGH!
 
Denny had the car to beat. Except a tire of all things beat him.

Kyle better have some good sized body guards for the next while...somebody may give him a punt off the track for what he dun on it..evenm thought it did look like he got a good bit loose.


Andy, you had THE perfect spot for this race.
 
They should of bck flaged the 18.

His DID NOT get loose tell after he tuned right in to JR. They Blacked Flaged Mikey for a bone head move, should of done the same to Shrub. I was hoping Mark would of gave him a little bump.

You could tell JR was very let down. I'm not really a big fan of JR or Kyle. I have started to like Kyle, but as of late, he needs a knot jerked in his ass. I dont think Mr. Rick would of minded if JR did not jack up the 18 after the race. Totaly uncalled for.
 
Funny answer in the interview. Krisat Voda asked him if he thought it was a fair move, or if Kyle would need extra security. Dale answered, "fair or not, he probably gonna need extra security." No doubt Dale, no doubt.

I think if Hamlin had been able to get to the pits and not come to a stop in 4 with his flat, that woulda been Dale's race.

I disagree. I reaaaalllly wanted to see Dale win, but that was a two headed wreck right there. Neither one gave an inch, they came together, and Dale got the worst of it. Major disappointment for sure, but a racing wreck, IMO. No true fault on Kyle's part or Dale's part.

Of course I sure hope Kyle has a good disguise on his way out of RIR....
 
Jr was leading he had the track and can run any line he wants. Kyle is known for overdriving a car/truck and that is what happand. So if he got losse or not. It was caused by over driving and that makes it his falght. I looked at the re-play. I have DVR and it looked to me. (been racing since 2005 and dad who has been building racecars for 40+ years) That he did not get loose tell after he turned right.

2007: Shrub got mad and left the track and JR drove his car (5)
2008: Jr takes the place of Shrub at HMS.

hmm...seems to me Shrub is a little sore over that.

What im trying to say. Racing hard for the win or not. If you go into the turn and over drive it, causing a wreck. it may be called a "racing deal", but the blaime is still on Busch.
 
I'm a big Dale Jr fan and I am definitely pretty upset right now. The thing is I'm more upset with Denny Hamlin than Kyle Busch. If Hamlin wouldn't have stopped his car out on the track Jr probably would have won and Kyle Busch wouldn't need extra security. Kyle Busch does need a good kick in the ass especially after his little thing with Steven Wallace in the Nationwide race yesterday. Sure Steven Wallace started the whole thing but the thing is Busch drives like Wallace did nearly all the time. You can definitely count me in the Denny Hamlin hate group for the time being.
 
I don't blame KBv2 for Dale not winning --- I blame Denny Hamlin. He just rode around on a tire he knew was bad until it blew, then he stopped on the track.

Thank goodness NASCAR penalized him.

Fixed that for ya. Hamlin got back goin once yeller was out. NASCAR even called BS on him.

I wanna hear mikeys interview.
 
Well, at least we got an exciting race! :D I'm glad Kyle didn't win. I wish Mark would have gotten around him. Congratulations to Clint. He reaped the benefit of the crap that happened ahead of him. Kyle better get a good disguise whether it was intentional or not. :ph34r:
 
Kyle Busch will get his due one day. At the rate hes going he will have "gotten loose" and ruined a race for every driver in all 3 series.
And I can't wait till he gets his. Guys are gonna wreck each other trying to wreck him. I felt bad for Denny for having the tire go down so late in the race especially after leading so long in his hometown track. But Kyle Busch would've wrecked him anyway.

I guess we'll have to disagree then, because I still see it the way I called it. I too have a DVR, and watched the replay more than once. His wheels weren't turned to the right until after the initial contact, and then they were turned right because his backend was toward the wall. And the thing is, Kyle had the spot coming down the back stretch, and even was ahead a small bit. Jr didn't have the track, they were as close to side-by-side as can be. If you "have the track" then you're clear all around. The guy below you should ned to slam on his brakes if you decide to take the low line.

Racing deal. Very unfortunate racing deal, but a racing deal just the same. Jr tried the high line, and left the opening for Kyle to try and take. So what you're saying is, if you open the door, even a little, the other guy shouldn't try and step through it with 3 laps to go?

Believe me, I wanted Jr to win as much as anyone, and as disappointing as that was, I don't completely blame Kyle for it.

Close Quarters Short Track Racing

AKA- Prelude for Darlington :eek: !!!!
 
plain and simple busch drove into the corner over his head and got bit. and took jr out.

I also got mad with all of the tv people trying to cover Busch. And you could tell they all knew exactly what happened. You know if this was the first time something like this happened I would agree it was racing but when he has done it so many times in all 3 series this year he has lost credibility. And when he is on tv friday night saying he doesn't care how many cars he wrecks.


Sunday he is going to race with the ASA boys in Wisconsin and i know if he pulls that crap with a guy like Ed Hoffman Jr, who I know doesn't take crap from drivers like that, he is gonna get schooled real quick with a wasted trip to Wisconsin.

He may be reconsidering that idea to even go up there...are there many 88 fans in cheeseland? ASA tracks probably dont have the fan/driver separation he's hoping to have.
 
no but there are some rough short track drivers that dont hesitate to payback a driver that likes to use the bumper recklessly.
 
Kyle is 1st in the points in Cup. So he accomplished that even if he didn't get the win. If Lil'E was going to take the high line what was he doing so low. It's not like he didn't know Kyle wasn't there.
At least some of the 48haters may be happy, but then no he's still in the top 12. Jeff is 6 out in 13th. Car 17 where are you?
For those of you thinking Mark should have taken out Kyle...really? Have you been watching Mark long? He doesn't race that way.
And congrats to Bowyer for taking advantage and getting the win.
 
I'll let andy elaborate on this since he was there, but it seemed to me alot of the teams were way off on the sway bar and track bar adjustments for this race. Either that, or there's some radical suspension stuff going on and the splitter is playing sacrifice. Several of the cars were rolling on the right side real bad (stiffen front bar- make tighter, stiffer rear bar, make looser) and loose off throttle (drop the track bar i think?). Some cars hit the setup, and some missed it.
 
I was really

surprised that the Mikey incident wasn't analyzed more by the guys in the booth.. It deserved a lot of talking about, and got nothing!
Betsy:rolleyes:
 
THE ACTION TRACK!:D:D:D

Turns 3-4 were PERFECT. WHAT A RACE.

BTW ... for those of you wondering about the Kyle Busch, Dale Earnhardt incident, well ... let me be politically correct and say Virginia had a new state bird after that and they were flying high all around the Richmond International Raceway.

Kyle Busch and Denny Hamlin both need to have their asses beat. Hamlin, being from Chesterfield, lost A LOT of fans tonight. He stopped, intentionally, so Kyle Busch could have one more "shot" at Junyer, and that's EXACTLY what it was, a shot.
 
"It's a product of racing" :confused:

So he was *****in' and moaning about getting bumped by Steve Wallace but now it's just racing?

:confused:

I wasn't expecting Mark to take him out but just if he were to get loose or something when he was beside him...

Betsy, I'm with you. It's as if the incident never happened. I don't understand how FOX could NOT investigate.

Guess I'll watch TWIN on Monday night and see if Mikey says anything.

Both cars were parked by NASCAR.

FOX didn't feel like investigating, it looks like.
 
Andy, I know that Mikey was parked.
I want to know why the incident happened.

Was Mikey mad at Casey and drove into him? Did Mikey throttle stick?

Why wasn't Casey interviewed?

Given Mikey's high profile, this was a story that should have been pursued.

When they did the in car of Mikeys, you heard him back off, then get back on the gas and nail Casey in the rear and push him.
