    Did I miss it?

    Did I miss the post with everyone bashing Davenport for wrecking Bloomquist and then completely running over a lapped car? I know if Josh Richards did that the entire first page of 4m would be posts about it.

    In reality it looks like Bloomquist was turning down on him coming out of four, and Hines deserved everything he got and more... he was in Bloomquists way for many laps while the move over flag was being shown and he wasn't racing anybody. I guess Davenport didn't want to have the same thing happen to him, especially not with the 20 car on the outside of him.

    Thanks,
    Jeff.

    Your missing it because I think It's just a snapshot of how people feel about Richards versus how they feel about Davenport......just a guess.

    And I've been told it's a hold your line flag fwiw.
    Where is the move over flag when you need it?????

      I agree BBQ , it's not a move over or get out of the way flag, it's hold your line and be predictable, it's the faster cars job to get around you. Now if you are in his line and you don't move a bit eventually the chrome horn is bound to come out...

        So because some people like Davenport more they look past what he does on track and then turn around and criticize another driver for the same thing? Just to be clear I think what Davenport did was perfectly fine, he is aggressive and makes the racing exciting -- just like Richards. I think he got into the back of Bloomquist a bit going into three and Bloomquist got loose and then tried to turn down into him and take him out as a result but ended up spinning.

        As far as Hines, he wasn't holding his line very well either. Scott couldn't get around him for a bunch of laps at one point. Davenport didn't wait to find out if he was going to hold his line, I'm sure Owens coming up the outside like that expedited the decision though.

        Thanks,
        Jeff.

          Hines was not holding his line with Scott at least, I just re watched the video on DoD. He was loose, and came out of the corner low at one point and then drove up the track right in front of Bloomquist. I think by hold your line it means pick the high side or the low side, not drive whatever line makes you happy (in Hines case it was taking up every possible inch of the track that he could with just one car).

          Thanks,
          Jeff.

            Hines normal line was enter low, push across center, exit high. He was pretty consistent at that most laps. Not an easy car to pass that way, but then again, you don't want him to abruptly do something different either. If he was leading, no one would care about that line.

              I agree, I think everything JD did was just fine, it's racing. Him and Owens were side by side for the lead so I don't blame JD one bit.

              The reason people rip Josh Richards is because they're jealous of him, that is obvious. Even though JD has been cleaning up the past year or so he still hasn't won enough for people to hate him yet. Just wait a few years, if he keeps winning the haters will come out.

                Hmmmm.... Richards, Pierce, Bloomquist & Davenport. Where would this board be if it wasn't for those four drivers?? It is apparent to me that there is NO middle ground when it comes to those four. You are either on one side of the fence or the other.....just sayin'.

                  Whether you love some and hate some, I think we'd all agree that when we pull into the racetrack, we'd rather them all be there than not!

                    Yeah but in Jeff's Case he has drank to much of josh's Juice so he is pretty blind to other driver's.... Just sayin...
                    If you can't race it or take it to bed! It ain't worth having!

                      I thought it was a good race. Tight track, tough racing.

                        On your first sentence.......yes, that's exactly what I'm saying.

                        And I agree,the worse part about the whole thing was when Scott turned hard left trying to wreck him and wrecked himself..........guess he should have checked himself before he wrecked himself.

                              I'm pretty sure I saw the 0 car put a door on the 20 car trying to pass him,but that's different I guess. And Owens didn't turn left and gas it.
