I know 15 laps compared to 100 is a big difference but so is 25 lbs on a car. A team of that caliber knows what will burn off in a long race. Could some weight have fallen off or been taken off to be moved and forgot to be replaced.
He will be soooooo pi$$$ed that I bet he comes back in September and laps the field twice. I still don't get how you can knowingly run 100 laps and put that wear and tear on an engine and chassis throw in the biggest purse and still not make (not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word) sure you have plenty of weight to be legal. But, again even the biggest Bloomer fans that saw the last 11 laps of that race and what all transpired. They would still say JD deserved that win.
Forget the questionable caution, if Jimmy O wouldn't have been wondering around like a deer in headlights going into turn one, JD would have put a move on Ol Bloomer that probably made him madder than being lite at the scales. Maybe Owens ran over the 25 lb weight that Bloomer lost?

Was glad to see someone else win, but wether it was Bloomer or whoever, if it was the shoe on the other foot, I hate seeing wins that way. But a rule is a rule and if you can't make weight, then you get DQued, pretty simple.
A friend of mine was at the track and said he saw Bloomer duck into the port a John right before introductions. Could possibly that been the 25lbs? HAHA Now, before I get beat over the head on here for that joke!! I like Bloomer and respect what he has accomplished! But, I really am glad to see JD get the win!!

No top tier driver wants to win like that. Jd won fair and square but I bet he aint 100% satisfied! Been there,done that!
Yeah 10 4! I bet Jd would tell you that 25 lbs didn't win him the race!
That's what they say I don't like to win that way. I guarantee you that they could give a crap less when they go deposit that check. There is 82 other cars that were there this weekend that would swap situations with JD in the drop of a hat.

If you have won a race like that, then you know its not near as satisfying! I/we have!
