You offer me the crying towel when it is your driver who is complaining about the rules?!? You are projecting.

My driver won the pole and came in 11th. I am not crying, far from it!

As for Brian, well all he has to do is recall his only win. I guess we should have taken that win from him. How quickly they forget.
Finally, I would just like to add that Junior, although he made mistakes, drove his butt off today. He passed soooo many people soooo many times, and he drove it like he owned it. He was determined and he wanted that win. All you had to do was listen to him to feel that spark. I was proud of him. I was proud of his determination, I was proud of his fight, and I was darn proud that he finally stood up for himself. That is the guy that can wins races, that is the man that can win championships, that is the man I cheer for every week. I hope he holds onto that desire...it suits him well. And that is just my opinion.

Earnhardt felt the notion of the No. 88 being penalized was preposterous. He said the blamed rested with Vickers for blocking in the first place.

“Penalize me? For what? I got ran in to and sent below the line,” Earnhardt said. “What the hell? I don’t want to go down there. I didn’t aim to go down there. I got sent down there. What the hell am I supposed to do? Then what am I supposed to do? Stay down there? No. I got to get back up on the racetrack.”

Ultimately, the final judgment went to NASCAR, and they sided with Junior.

“Today’s incident was nothing like yesterday’s incident, which was deemed intentional,” NASCAR spokesman Ramsey Poston said. “Today, the two cars were racing hard and got into each other. It was an unintentional racing incident that did not warrant further action.”

I don't think Jr. is literate enough to read the rule book. He should get one of his teammates to read it for him. After they're done laughing, they can also teach him how to enter a pit box. LOL.

Spoiled brat Dale Earnhardt Jr. ruins a great race

The most deserving driver did not win the Daytona 500 Sunday. Sadly and immaturely, Dale Earnhardt Jr. made sure of it. The most popular athlete in the sport turned into the most irresponsible driver on the track Sunday when a frazzled and frustrated Earnhardt caused a wreck that inexcusably knocked leader Kyle Busch out of the rain-shortened 500 and eventually allowed Matt Kenseth to win. In your wildest imagination, did you ever think Junior, the sport's most beloved personality, could single-handedly turn the Great American Race into the Great American Disgrace? Remember when the NBA used to have the Jordan Rules? It looks like NASCAR now has its version of the Junior Rules. Former driver and Fox broadcaster Darrell Waltrip probably spoke for the NASCAR establishment when he said, "I give Junior the benefit of the doubt." Of course. Doesn't Junior always get the benefit of the doubt?
