Matt, I want to give you a funny for the first statement. A smart for the second. A bold for the third. Where's my "other option"?

Jr was more than halfway on the apron at the entrance to pit road, why in the world would he need to "wave" someone off? Jamie just needed to get his head out of his butt and pay attention. I hate it that it was Jr that it happened to yes, ruined a top ten finish, BUT that could have been ANY driver (yep even Kyle or Tony) and I would still say the same thing. Very dangerous driving. Thank goodness for the HANS. Could you imagine getting rear-ended at those speeds, completely unaware that it was coming??

Wonder what NASCAR will do to Juan "don't call me Pablo" Montoya. Yes, I could wonder all by myself, but when I wonder out loud it stirs up the pot. Someone needs to tell our sweet little friend that you don't SAY you meant to intentionally wreck another driver on the post wreck interview! Duh!

 

And what's up with Jamie McMurray driving with his eyes closed and running into the back of Dale Earnhardt Jr.?

 

That's all for now...carry on!

Oh...and how could 1 person (me) lose so many points in one day?

1. Entered every poll related to NASCAR

2. Jamie McMurray

3. Juan Montoya

4. RAIN...Kurt, Mikey and JJ Yeley? WHAT???  They didn't make my list...

 

Look again at #2 and #4 ~ Same initials. Could it be more to this? Conspiracy theory ~ Yes, it's a stretch, but somebody had to say it.

I slept until 130p then the kiddo came and woke me up saying Jr is in the lead momma. I have never woke up so quickly.

 

It was great to see Mears out front and at a point all of the HMS drivers running in the top 10 at the same time. 

 

Actually, Raven, I have more respect for TacoMontoya saying he did it on purpose that trying to dance around the question and act like he had no clue, like KrybabyKyle so often does. I posted this comment earlier about Jamie Mac, "I didn't know he was going to pit" is no excuse to rear end ANYONE!! Now, if NASCAR is going to have a talk with anyone, it should be Jamie first. He could seriously hurt someone or worse with that driving "style". Maybe even have him tinkle in a cup. Wakey wakey Jamie, it's time to race, not daydream. Kahne getting dumped stunk too.

 

Kurt Busch winning... Good call by Tryson for keeping his eye on the radar and keeping Kurt out. Now I gotta listen to my husband gloat for the next week.

 

Daytona next Saturday night boys and girls. It will be another strong run for HMS, Jr taking the win, BUT Penske knows what to bring to the show and an eye should be kept on them.......

 

Those are just a few thoughts from a slightly deranged individual...

I can appreciate the, um, honesty too. However, let's say JPM wrecked Jr. (or any other driver besides KB). Let's just put it out there. KB is known to be, well, controversial. Personally, I can't stand the little snot. But would JPM'S "honesty" be such a good thing if the tables were turned?

 

I'm really disturbed that JPM has that "vengeance" mentality. Oh would I want to be a fly on the wall in the meeting when NASCAR discusses this one...with the drivers present of course.

+4 thumbs upI saw an entire lap or two of green flag racing and then the Jr., McMurray wreck happened and then the rain came and ended the race.  But I do think it's nice to finally see a driver admit to doing something on purpose.  So many times we see drivers just hide behind the question of whether or not they did it intentionally, and he answered it straight forward.  Even though I don't like Kyle Busch there still is no reason to do what he did and hopefully it won't continue on especially with Daytona this week where if he does the same thing, 20 other cars will wreck.  At the same time, it's a chance for Kyle Busch to show that he doesn't have to have the last word and retaliate.  It will be interesting to see if he just drops it and doesn't come back at Montoya or not.

My thoughts are that only in Nascar is it just as important to be lucky as it is good

Wasn't it funny that it was the Lenox 301 "Because we go the extra mile" and it ended early.  

Lenox 284 "Because we normally can't finish a job" 

 

Klye and Juan should both have been held a lap. They both made contact with the other.

 

Wasn't it weird that even though they showed Jr. in the car multiple times during the race they didn't have video of him signaling to Jamie McMurray that he was going to pit.  TNT is smart not to have tried to investigate too much on air.  They don't need JR. Nation mad at them.

+2 thumbs upIF he were to dump Jr, like he did to Kyle and then publicly admit it, he would need security to get off the track because a small percentage of the Jr Nation is just idiotic like that.  So, maybe he should just try to make his words a little more colorful like Sr use to?    I still say to JPM, kuddos for stating the truth and not doing a hat dance.

+1 thumbs upThat may be the problem, that Nascar lets them run below the line, if they had been made to run above the line around the corner, it would not have happened.
MAYBE
