"We're all racing for the Lucky Dog there and my goal was to keep Junior behind me and I went to block him," Vickers said. "I beat him to the yellow line and then he just turned us. He hit me the first time on the way down — which is fine. We all do that. Then when he came back up he just hooked me in the left rear.

"To wreck somebody intentionally like that in front of the entire field is really kind of dangerous. That's my biggest problem with it, but apparently he wanted a caution pretty bad."

When Earnhardt was told of Vickers comments, he radioed to his spotter T.J. Majors to tell Vickers' spotter to deliver the message that if there was an issue, the racers could discuss it in the motor coach lot following the race.

"If he wants to come by the bus after the race and get his ass whopped," Earnhardt said. "I'll do it."

LOL. They should have gotten out of their cars like in 1979. Seems like FOX (or NASCAR) wanted that.

All in all it was a entertaining race. One thing the pre-race hype and show was way to long. I don't want to see those Sprint Girls on my TV again. One thing nobody can control is mother nature. Everybody knew rain would end the race early just not on what lap and I think it made for a better race. Hopefully the season will get on to it's normal racin fans type coverage.

Agreed, the race started too late and I never want to see that much of digger again.
