It's NASCAR these days......2/3 of capacity is actually high.
Wallace got roundly booed by those fans who actually made the effort to be at Bristol. Then Wallace tries to pull a bump and run on Michael McDowell and McDowell promptly puts Jussie, err....I mean Bubba in the wall. Wallace then takes a cheap shot at McDowell's religious belief's. Wallace dug himself a deeper hole with the wise ass remark about about religion. Wallace seems to be a bit of an A-hole.
I have a feeling Wallace is going to hear plenty more boo's from however many spectators there will be show up to these time wasters!
I’m assuming Bubba is getting paid by the left wing. I’m sure some pretty good monies in sponsorship.
CIRF, watching the replay numerous times McDowell came down / turned left into Wallace more then the other way around. If you see it differently more power to you.
6 turned right as Mike turned down. One of dem racin deals I do believe.Quote:

That was the case here. No question McDowell wrecked Wallace on purpose but it wasn't without previous provocation.Quote:

In the eye's of most people you tread on some thin ice when you make sarcastic and disparaging remarks about another person's spiritual beliefs. Plus, Wallace seems to be a world class whiner!
I,m ashamed he is from here , first top tier driver alabama has had in years and look what we got......a race baiting fool , dont matter though , he has had his 10 min of fame , now maybe he and nascrap will quietly go away.....
CIRF, fair enough. Mocking ones faith is out of bounds.
Here's the most frustrating thing, ff. No one, not Dave Moody, not John Roberts, not Clare B. Lang or any of the other NASCAR "journalists" will interview and ask the questions that need answered by Wallace. He made the mocking swipe at McDowell's religious beliefs and he should account for what he said. He won't be made to account due to the fact that the person asking the tough questions will be thoroughly excoriated, shamed and worse.Quote:

This Wallace character needs to go. He has become a total negative for NASCAR but they are not going to admit it.
Thanks for posting this. I did not watch the race. Bubba is sliding off the mountain pretty quick.Quote:
