He should be, but we won't go into that at the moment. :)
What show is that from...
Don't hear a lot of love from the grandstand.
I bet they put that car through inspection 4 times!!
There ya go!
McMurray apologized to Kurt Busch in the infield care center.
Gosh---yer right!!! Ain't a whole lotta love from the fans.....maybe they're tired.
Not greedy, a bump would have put him nowhere since they were all hugging the line. The only hope was outside if someone would have pushed him,
Dale Jr. should have been penalized for going below the ywllow line, but no way NASCAR would have done that.
Sopranos ?
NBC trying to lighten Robot's wallet. He doesn't take the bait.
He wasn't below the line, both the booth and Nascar agreed on that. He may have been before he made the pass but alongside he was above the line [barely]
KENSETH COMMENTS-
Rule applied correctly?
Tony took me out intentionally...learned how to race like that from HIM...disappointing how he said all that stuff earlier...Mark Martin NO COMMENT...
Tony Comments: Matt said your contact was intentional...yeah MATT always says that, he got me in 2, and I got penalized too...he has no room to complain, he started it and I finished it..
Smoke can (SELF CENSORED).
It's never Stewart fault.

BTW I am SO happy for Casey Mears!!
There should be some points and money from Smoke forthcoming; he admits it was intentional, but claims that him losing the air in 2 a while back in the race while side-by-side with Kenseth was also (yeah, right).
Think I scored a solid 100 points today!
