“I was listening to Mark [Martin] on PitCommand last night. His car was great for long runs. He was happy with it most of the night. He tried to hold KB off but KB was faster at that time. Then he got faster and couldn’t get by. His spotter and CC were on the radio constantly telling him what his times were and those around him. He was yelling at them to tell the lapped cars to quit battling for the lucky dog in front of him and let him by. He was cussin up a storm over Kyle “driving like a damn Idiot”. Then when KB punted Jr he was really POd. Said he was gonna hurt someone one day with bonehead moves like that.”

Thanks for that perspective. Mark is, and always has been, a true gentleman -- on the race course and off.

Man I’ve been sayin stuff like that about Lil Busch for a year and a half!!! I take my scanner to the track and I’ve heard the announcers ,while on break say pretty much the same thing. Lil Busch is the latest incarnation of “Swervin Ernie Irvin”

I have met Mark before and he is a class act. If you haven’t been to his dealership/museum in Batesville, Arkansas you should go. The weekend of Easter every year he has a GTG with some other drivers for autographs and Q&A sessions. Plus he will personally autograph any car purchased.
I was not real happy to see him leave Roush, but he has earned the right to do anything he wants and I still pull for him when he is driving.

West Coast Gal.........thanks for hosting the thread. Sorry you are fed up with the overzealous racing fanatics.
Racing is the only sport where every team plays on the same field, and every team has their own fans in the stands. When I go to the races I always scan the crowd around my seats to see where the potential trouble spots and friendly fans are. I find it amazing that there are not major fights with all the diversity represented.
But as in any large crowd, there are always a few idiots and a few of them spill over into FR occasionally as well.
Happy Racing!
