I like these medium length ovals. Its like a drag race from turn to turn.

[umgud]

I’m gonna try to get it in.

[MrPiper]

Sorry, Dodge Dealers = Government Motors...... no dice......

[NormsRevenge]

Yup, There’s always action somewhere..

[benewton]

Exactly my attitude.

[NormsRevenge]

Don't forget your vuvuzela... You could probably use these things for an oil funnel or sumthin',

[dangus]

Dodge isn’t GM, but still is Government Motors, I guess.

[B4Ranch]

Thanks for the ping

[tubebender]

Karl in the lead with 50 to go and a yellow comes on...

[B4Ranch]

Has there been a report on the condition of the two drivers who crashed?

[tubebender]

The one they just interviewed looked like he was a little punch drunk...

[tubebender]

Hey Norm... I signed your name to a contract for this truck to stop in front of your house every race weekend...

[NormsRevenge]

That’ll work! Thanks!

[WSGilcrest]

Whew! Thought I forgot my drivers again!

[tubebender]

Damn!!! that was ugly...

[NormsRevenge]

Gotcha! LOL

a real doozie at the end.. Flipper wins it!

[TYVets]

The keseloski - Edwards fender bending racing continues.

What will the next chapter bring?

[SouthTexas]

I’ve got one like that, but it’s called a transmission funnel.

[TYVets]

Brad Keseloski's dad says "Carl is not going to kill my kid, even if I have to put on a uniform to do something about it!"

More to come

NASCAR will have another sit down with the boys?

[yield 2 the right]

The Carl Edwards/Brad Keselowski battle will end up bad. Brad’s dad just tore Carl Edwards a new one(on the post race interview, the dad was waiting for his son Brad to be released from the Care Center) and could have slipped a few choice words.
This is not what I want NASCAR this hard fought.

[NormsRevenge]

Yup, had to use one on the ol’ Toyota.. love the new one, so much more room to work in.

[B4Ranch]

I wonder what NASCAR will have to say about the finish.

[SouthTexas]

Pretty lame by Flipper there. Keselowski could have stayed on him the lap before, but backed off.

[NormsRevenge]

Bob Keselowski was pretty worked up.. Glad that no one was hurt badly..

[deport]

[TYVets]

Great Photo

MRN - Sirius will have plenty to talk about next week.

[yield 2 the right]

I agree, glad Brad seems to be alright after what he went through.

[SouthTexas]

Pretty bad.

My cat laid her ears back on that finish, sure glad no one else was here.

I will stop now before I get into trouble.

[tubebender]

Did you get a new pickup Norm?

[Chuck54]

Brad’s lucky to be alive. The t-bone impacts hit everywhere but the driver’s door.

Carl needs somebody to jack his jaw around. I think Brad’s dad may be the one to do it.

[SouthTexas]

Think I'll jut save them the trouble:

Jaa.. Tacoma .. finally had to.. love it..

Just some info: Carl Edwards is the #1 Trending Topic on Twitter right now(as of this post’s time).

[Bryan24]

Edwards had the best car on restarts since early in the race. Edwards had him on the outside and Kesolowski knew it. Kesolowski drove his car up into Edwards, knocking Edwards loose and allowing him to pass.

In the last corner, it appears Edwards was outside of him and held his line in the middle of the track (didn’t drift to the wall) He may have even slightly came back inside.

His intent was clear. He was gonna make Kesolwski keep his turn longer and cut off his exit, knowing if he didn’t he would tap his right rear.

This will be a tough call for NASCAR. Edwards didn’t appear to intentionally wreck him, but he did intentionally cut off his exit from the turn.

IF NASCAR fines Edwards, they probably should fine Kesolowski for the turn 1 dustup on the last lap.

[tubebender]

You can’t beat a Toyota pickup with a sledgehammer. They just keep going and going and no, I don’t own one but the next pickup maybe...

[B Knotts]

Agreed. Everyone wants to blame Carl, but Keselowski forced his hand.

These guys get paid to win.

[B Knotts]

Maybe Big Kes ought to have a sit down with his kid, then.

[Chuck54]

BK could have taken CE out in turn 1 but just tapped him to get CE loose and went by.

CE actually drove BK into the wall, into a spin, in front of onrushing cars. I blame Edwards.

If he was such a great driver he could have done it like #3 did so many times. Get the driver in front loose and drive on by. I’ve seen Gordon, Stewart, Wallace, untold #s do it.

Edwards took BK out and didn’t really care how many went with him or what injuries might occur.

Edwards is bad for NASCAR and NASCAR is going to let someone get killed.

No, I am not a BK fan but can see tragedy ahead and a fantastic loss of respect for NASCAR if this is just brushed off.

[TexasCajun]

'Wreck-Em' Edwards is back in the news I see.

Just watched it this morning, got my cofffe going back to watch it again.

I sure am losing respect for Mr. 'Wreck'Em'.
