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

After Richmond last year you said that it doesn't matter how a driver gets to the finish line first as long as he gets there first, and if a driver wrecks another driver to do it that he is the better driver for being more aggressive. Does this mean Jr is better than Kyle Busch and nine other drivers since they're wrecked and he is not?

It looks to me like you've changed your tune since May of last year. That's the funny thing about sports, it'll make you eat your words eventually if you speak without thinking. LOL

Good pic. I wonder if Jr wants to whoop his ass too.

[NEPA]

Vickers didn't run JR off the track. JR followed him down the track to pass then clipped Vickers' rear on the way back onto the track.

You can't run somebody off the track from the front.

[steveegg]

Blickensderfer and I are both dancing fools right about now.

[TYVets]

Jr hated it for everyone except for the 83!

LOL

[WVKayaker]

Poor Junior whining...sounds like a speed junkie in the interview just now! Too much Amp!

[al_c]

Way too much Amp! LOL!

My small travel cam is a Canon, and just bought a Nikon D40. Both bases covered!

[yield 2 the right]

We are are "RED". Crap, I just went for a popcorn break and I get this...

[LdSentinal]

DW backtracking on his earlier anti-Jr. comments.

Must have gotten a million death threats in the past hour.

[glock rocks]

That’s what I saw on the side view, and Jr’s oncar cam. McVickers tapped Jr towards the grass.

[vox_freedom]

Nice complimentary comments by DW about Jr.
"Jr tells the truth." Yep.

[al_c]

I’ve got a D40. Very nice camera.

[SouthTexas]

If it works, can you come down here for an encore?
We need rain bad.

[Wneighbor]

Junior did real well in that interview. I appreciated him just saying it like it is. Did a great job.

[B Knotts]

What I’m sayin’ is that I picked Robot for my bench, but left him there, and picked Mark Martin. Oh, well.

At least Awesome Bill is 24th.

[steveegg]

Thanks for the well-wishes, Happy. I take back almost everything bad I’ve said about you.

[ZirconEncrustedTweezers]

Allmendinger sounds pretty pumped.

[WSGilcrest]

Looked to me like Jr. had his fender in there and Vickers hit him first.
