Sorry you can't take a little criticism. I hope you can take a little breath, and keep going. It was only a race, and it won't matter tomorrow. Sorry if I get under your skin, but the same can be reversed with anything! Have a good week.

There is now and never has been an excuse for poor manners in public. You have crossed the line with your comments several times on this thread. You are welcome to your opinions. You should learn to express them in a manner not offensive to those around you.

Once I could alert my firewall to let me choose drivers I was ok with Yahoo.

8 - 9 - 18 - 28

Was just a weird day. Started out this morning when the power went out at church right in the middle of a hymn and everyone started to sing real quietly as they didn’t have the organ for cover. ;) See ya next week.

Shocker - MattKenseth.com went down right after they called the race. Guess I'm going to have to make the road trip tomorrow.

I wonder if they'll have the winning car there in 2010 after the Daytona museum is done with it; they already have the 1st Cup win, the last car-of-yesterday winner, and the Cup clincher (and last Rockingham winner) there.

Agreed. Except for Vickers, of course! LOL!

LOL - I admit to any that I'm still burned from Dega. And probably every one of us has some kind of similar thing related to an incident. We can all fuss. Being ugly to other freepers on this thread is not called for. I apologize often for offenses because I know I'm opinionated. And I'm pretty okay with anybody calling me down when I'm out of hand... which happens sometimes.

I can imagine everyone logged on to congratulate.

He most certainly will put that car in the museum.

I’m glad one of the good guys won. :)

"That is why Kyle is points leader and Jr is looking for a win. I think winning comes by being first to the finish line! That is racing!"

...and this was in response to what exact situation. Your quote does not line up with your accusation.

You said in #1027: "Last year you said that dirty drivers were the better drivers. LOL...

Therefore better?...Like you said last year?.

I NEVER said what you claimed! Like I said, classy... Not!

I agree. Even when I kidded about Vickers, it was intended as light-hearted. I’m sure he’s an OK guy. No reason to get nasty about anyone here...we’re all here to have fun.

I won’t be around next weekend. Going to mardi Gras in La. So y’all have fun and keep the thread race ready.

Glad Kenseth got the win. But I know Mark Martin had a car for the end. For my fantasy league, a 6th, 12th 18th and 34th. All things considered, could have been a lot worse.
Jr’s little “mishap” took out my #1 driver in Edwards.
grrrr

I’m a wee bit too far away from Daytona, but the Matt Kenseth Fan Club HQ/Store/Museum is an easy drive for me.

They had another interview with Jr. Said the one who made a mistake was the one who ran him into the grass. He pointed out that when he was in the lead and Kyle and Tony got a run on him, he pulled up to the top. He said “When someone has a run on you like that, there’s not much you can do about it, so you need to let them go on.”

Thanks. I did infer that from your tone. Guess I just needed to clear any possible offense because I really do enjoy these threads even though I can't make it every week. And I don't care for animosity here. Nice relaxing place to visit with folks when I'm watching a race alone. It is fun here!

I gotcha on that one. I was just thinking that you're probably not the only person in WI wanting to make that pilgrimage tomorrow. HAVE FUN!!!

Matt interviewed on SPEED, no not the drug the channel LOL

He said this backup car drove better than the wrecked one, wasn't as fast but was real good. He said Jr came up and teased him about having to do all the interviews now.
