Fox is just b*tching and moaning because thier little buttboy Kyle got wrecked out.

[WVKayaker]

Jr had the momentum. Legal or not, Vickers got in the way.

...and 10 drivers/teams eat sh... because he is too much of a hot heaf?

[ZirconEncrustedTweezers]

I bet Junior remembers that too.

[TornadoAlley3]

[WestCoastGal]

No reason for McVickers to block a lap down car.

Now we’re even for Dega. Sorry about the wreck though.

[WVKayaker]

How many races did Kyle win last year, in how many series? Hmmmm...

[NormsRevenge]

they were battling for the lucky dawg spot..

[Wneighbor]

I remember 3 or 4 years ago when Vickers took out then team mate 48 and Jr late in the season.

I was at that race. Vickers had it comin'.

[John W]

Both a lap down, fighting for the lucky dog.

[steveegg]

McVickers was the 1st car 1 lap down. Stupid because Jr should have been ineligible for the pardon for the rest of the race.

[SouthTexas]

they are running to the red flag, not the end of the race.

[al_c]

Did he really turn into him, or was he just trying to stay on the track and keep momentum going. Yeah, he’s frustrated and needs to get back up to the front, but I can’t agree with DW on this one.

[NormsRevenge]

sshhhhhh.. :-}

[glock rocks]

On the surface, not much different than his pa takin out Texas Terry.

Pick yer side.

Whatever.

In this case, comma, it was lap down cars taking out the field. Stupid.

[WSGilcrest]

No lucky dawg for causin’ the wreck.

[WestCoastGal]

That’s the best reason I’ve heard. LOL

[Wneighbor]

It was all a planned bankshot to take out the 18.

uh... frankly, that works for me. i didn't pick the shrub this week.

[yield 2 the right]

88 geting ** by that NASCAR official(’em official(s) no matter which sport always find a way to impact the said event)

[SouthTexas]

[NormsRevenge]

I did pick the Shrub, but what the hey. That’s racin’
