Jr is partly to blame guys. He drove down trying to pinch Busch down on the apron. Busch isn't all at fault for that. It was good hard racing. Jr knew he really didn't have the car to win all night. Neither did Busch and both he and Jr said so. Hamlin should have won. I wonder what caused Hamlin's cut tire. If anyone got intentionally wrecked last night it was Yaley who did.
[Dega] what a finish...Richmond should be good - lol "the raciest race"
thought we had it
Oh coooome oooon. No one leading the race yields his line to the 2nd place guy who isn't even at his door. Junior was driving the high line as he had been for the last 20 laps because his car was tight and Busch drove into the corner way too hot. Instead of braking to hold his own line, Busch chose to drive into Junior. I will accept no other explanation because I watched the video over and over and saw Busch's left wheel pointing to the right in that turn. Even the FOX announcer noticed that during the 1st few replays. I'm glad Jimmy Spencer called the FOX announcers on their bs defending Busch's actions trying to smooth things over. At first they were criticizing Kyle's actions while the footage played and then they magically stop and defend Busch. What a load of bs.DSRTurtle wrote:

I'll tell ya what...
I dont normally lose my temper after a race, no matter the result...I may not like it, but I dont get pissed off. Saturday night was a different story...
And truly, what pissed me off, was the crap being puked forth by the booth crew...
My wife ( who is a sorta fan at best) was even open mouthed about what went on. It wasnt the wreck, it was the announcers.
I'm a big Jr fan, bigger Sr. fan, and I know how Dale made his living years ago...so dont anyone throw that at me. But this sport, sadly has changed. Driving the way Sr did years ago isnt the best thing in the world to do anymore.
The 88 and the 18 were pretty even on that last restart. They both knew what they had. Nobody in thier right mind, who is leading, willingly gives up thier line to the second place car...dont feed me that crap either. Kyle charged that corner like he had the whole friggin racetrack to slide around in.
I've said it before, and I'm gonna say it again...Kyle is wreckless, much more so than his equally goobered brother Kurt.
I think the 88 could have held off the 18 for 4 more laps...would have been one hell of a race to see. Sadly, we'll never know because Kyle decided to decide his and the 88 race before the checkers flew. Wasnt even on the last lap, comming out of 4...that even I could understand...but no...
As far as Larry Mac, DW and Mike Joy...they all lost huge credibility in my mind. To say what they said, then backpeddal and adjust like that. I couldnt believe it really.
Its not like we didnt have the whole angle covered...hell, the reply was the replay. Did my heart good to hear Larry Mac talk about the wheels turned, but it made me puke for him to suck up and say "oh he was loose in...thats why..."
...
like that makes it an ok thing to do...
omg...
water under the bridge now...we'll get'em next weekend at Charlotte

Again another race I missed, I guess it was for the good because I probably would've strangled some innocent bystander in my home.

Well I'm sure I was the only one not watching, but just in case someone else missed it here is the wreck. Funny how fast this shit ends up on youtube.

No, I was attempting to infer that he sleeps w/ his sister.

all i know is the girl he was standing next to before the talladega race was fucking HOT! she had to be like 19 too
anyone notice those cars crabbing down the straightaways during practice? unreal how twisted those things are here at darlington. this place is so bizzare...
Mhmm - just watched the race. Sure Kyle caused it but in his defence - he got loose. There is nothing you can do when you get loose except to try and straighten up. Like Earnhardt said - "it happens...it wasn't intentional"
Well, yeah, Kyle got loose. Thats not the issue. My point is, if anyone charged the corner the way Kyle did, they would have been loose as hell too. That doesnt make it ok. Think about it...8 tires corner better than 4...no? So...kylef wrote:

Yeah, I blame Kyle, he drove that car in way too hard (and yes) knowing full and well he would get under Jr and slide around. I mean c'mon, its not like Kyle has no experience with these things...
I'm not defending him, but he was side by side. It was an act of confidence to see who would pull back first. No one did. He definetely has experience in these things - I mean, the nationwide "fight" was waay over called for - but whoever it was he hit called him "a little girl".
Oh crap I completely forgot about watching practice today.
