[TruckDriver]

I do not like this how they got the Sprint showdown on  a different night. I didn't even know they split it into 2 night until I accidently heard them talking about it on the radio

Is the JJ show back??
I wanted Matt to win it. 

[A383Wing]

well, it's only one win...and he's usually pretty good at Charlotte, just means he's in the chase now....

hope he falters the rest of the season

[nvrbdn]

i wonder if i missed something? on a restart late in the race, as the green flag falls, newman pulls into the pits. i never heard what happened. he made it back out and maintained his position through the rest of the race. did he have a flat or what? 

   ok, here is my deal,  if it was jimmy or jeffy, or junior,or the highest positioned female in nascar, tony, the bush bros. harvick,(you get my drift) it would have been discussed over and over, questioned as to why it would happen to the worlds favorite drivers, blah blah blah. and then look for someone to blame it on. replay the start 15 times to see why the driver would have to exit at such a crucial time.

    but it wasnt. it was nobody. so lets dont discuss it.

[JB400]

Doesn't matter.  JJ and Danica were the only drivers out there.  DW announced just those two drivers and wanted to talk to them at the start of the race.  Pretty bad that the other 41 drivers out there doesn't get mentioned before the green flag falls.

[nvrbdn]

how could fox totally miss the fact that the waltrip bros are so heavily disliked? are they missing something? or do we not complain loud enough?

[wingcar]

Well the Dream Season has come to an end, along with Johnson's losing....
Oh well, as long as someone can keep him from taking home the Championship, it can still be a Dream Season.............................     

[70redbee]

How could JJ be in the pits when the caution came out and is in the lead when the race restarted? Maybe I missed something.

[JB400]

He entered pit road right before the caution came out and closed the pits.  He continued his pit stop, and beat Kenseth to the timing line.  Dumb luck?

[nvrbdn]

when there is a caution, and the reason is debris on the track which happens to be a water bottle that was tossed out of a window by a driver, should the driver be reprimanded for causing an unscheduled stop in the action? with the cameras at every angle, i believe it wouldnt be hard to see who threw it out there. a driver, or a whole team could easily be punished for attempting to change the possible results of the race. whats the difference between that and spinning a car?

[thedodgeboys]

Yes if na$car can prove it, not the tv guys 

I think most  debris cautions are bogus anyway  so it really doesn't matter and drivers have been manipulating the outcome of races for years, from roll bar padding to intentionally wrecking the other guy.

[A383Wing]

truck race tomorrow afternoon, if anyone cares

[TruckDriver]

truck race tomorrow afternoon, if anyone cares
