Yesterday was Dale Earnhardt day at DEI. We remember him as the greatest Nascar driver ever!!

[YankeeMagic]

I am writing an email to Pedigree... Mars inc...they need to know how Jr Nation feels

[glock rocks]

Jr didn’t say from all of us... he said for all of us. Just rewound it about 20 times. Man, I feel sorry for Jr. tonight. Class act.

[glock rocks]

Good seein ya Budman.

[SouthTexas]

Well, that’s just racin’ boys and girls. One thing that seems to be ignored here is these cars just don’t run side by side very well. It’s real easy to blame the bottom car for slipping up and tagging the top one, as tonight and as Flash did Robot, but I really don’t think you can point the finger ONLY at the driver.

[SouthTexas]

Lap leaders:

Hambone - 381
Jr - 15
Bowyer - 13
Allmindinger - 1

That's all folks, no one else was ever in front.

"Dale is having a major time trying to hold his anger and disappointment. "

Yeah, he's definitely ticked off. Darn! Doesn't NASCAR have some kind of official review, for incidents like this? Some FReepers are saying it looked like it might have been deliberate- And didn't Busch do the same thing to somebody last night?

[glock rocks]

I agree. You have to admit that even some who don’t like Jr were pulling for him to have a victory tonight. In my book, he’s a class act. I don’t like Shrubbery, but I don’t believe it was intentional either.

[glock rocks]

And didn't Busch do the same thing to somebody last night?

Actually, Steve Wallace did it to Shrub last night.

New NA$CAR Rules...

[#1] If tire is going down, driver must pit immediately. (except for Dale Jr.)
[#2] NO racing Dale Jr. for the win. (its been 2 years!)

[bannie]

I too have noticed the Junior Clause.

[FlingWingFlyer]

I just went back and watched the clip of the wreck on NASCAR.com. The boys in the booth were bragging how Buschy could run low and Dale was giving him the low line. Watch the replay and notice the location of the cars when Buschy spins Dale. They are both up high and Buschy’s car is going straight ahead while they are in the turn. This was deliberate. Sorry to the FOX boys, this wreck was not “just racing.”

[NEPA]

A voice of reason.

I'm not a Shrub fan but he was just racin.

Junior would have, and has, done the same thing.

[FlingWingFlyer]

Not into NASCAR huh?

[glock rocks]

Alrighty then... on to Charlotte!

Utah Jazz play the Lakers tomorrow in round 2 of the Western Conference playoffs.

Sharks v Stars in Stanley Cup playoffs tomorrow night.

[FlingWingFlyer]

It appears as though the Earnhardt haters have arrived. Good night!

[glock rocks]

Junior would have, and has, done the same thing.

... and he said so in his post race interview.

[cherry]

amazing to me that any incident is attacked if it in anyway diminishes juniorrr.....Jr came down on the #18...clear to see....neither driver gave an inch and that is what Dale Sr would have called racing.....

I wish the MSM and the announcers would stop being such homers for their golden boy...its really embarrassing..

[cherry]

maybe Nascar Sprint cup should just be renamed....Dale Jr. championship race....geesh.....

[cherry]

"[#1] If tire is going down, driver must pit immediately. (except for Dale Jr.) [#2] NO racing Dale Jr. for the win. (its been 2 years!)"

LOL..you might add.....any crash involving Jr. is automatically NOT his fault...

nobody here old enough to remember Sr?????.....how many people did he push aside to win a race?.....plenty....
