Wonder what he would say about how things went down this season?
    Another very good post. Thank you for presenting the truth.

    You're more than welcome cbnf. Good to hear from you again!!

    That's quite a list of punch artists you posted there! LOL! They'd all "tune you up" if they thought a guy deserved it. The best garage area dust up we've seen in a long time was when Marcos Ambrose gave Casey Mears a fairly good right hand to the side of the face after a race at Richmond a year or two ago.
    And don't forget Jimmy Spencer giving Kurt Busch a good old Pennsylvania nose job!
    Knocked that smug c0cky arrogant grin right off his face....

      Aussie people arent scared of anything. They are my kind of people. That punch happened so quick, I had to rewind it twice to make sure that was what happen. Funny stuff for sure.

        Yeah I agree with ya, it's just funny the last real fight/punch in NASCAR was an Aussie.
        Up in the air who my next “favorite” driver is. Really losing hope on Bloomer getting anywhere back to “normal”.

          Yep lol. Saying over the radio you intentionally took out Spencer, well, obviously he didn't know Jimmy's past.

            Congrats to KB and Joe Gibbs Racing, you did everything they asked you to do.

            I'm actually more put out with the, "10 laps to go debris cautions". If you think about it, KB broke his leg, missed 11 starts and then jumped thru all the hoops they set up for him to qualify, I dont think they expected him to. In dirt we have hardship rules to help competitors who experience setbacks of different kinds, so.... I don't like NASCRAP and havent in more than 10 years, but I do occasionally watch with the outside hope things have improved since I last watched, but generally I'm disappointed every time with their obvious attempts to add drama and massage the outcomes, but I've seen that at my local track too, so... At least at the dirt track its not so in my face every week like NAPCAR. I'm also ticked that they stole the win from Kyle Larson, who put on a driving/concentration clinic for 400 miles. JMO

              I might have agreed with the last post up until the Larson part. He wasnt leading when the caution came out. But then again I am not a fan of his and never will be so I just see it how it is. I dont own a Toyota either for the same reason.

                You're right. He wasn't leading but he was closing really fast. With the # of laps remaining, I think Kyle Larson wins under green. Problem is, rarely NASCAR races finish the last 10 laps under green.

                  As someone mentioned earlier, watching Larson run virtually inches from the outside wall lap after lap was something to see.

                  I don't recall ever seeing a car run that close to the wall that long.

                    Larson is exciting to watch when he runs that wall thats for sure... I have to agree with HH25 though he may not of been leading when the caution came out but had it of stayed green Larson would of won that race!
                    If you can't race it or take it to bed! It ain't worth having!

                      Saw first race in 1973, last in 1992. For the 4M crowd what you have now is not racing, not sure what it is. Kyle Busch missed races and still won championship... no way

                        So you don't like Kyle Larson because you think he's Japanese??? He was gaining a full second a lap on the leader and had closed to within 1 second, so mathematically he was most likely going to swing by and take the lead on the next lap. Like him or not he was driving the wheels off that car.

                          It doesn't matter what anyone says NASCAR points championship is a joke and it doesn't crown a champ for the whole year just the last half. It's 100% a reflection of how many pu$$ies we have in our country. Everyone seems to want to be given something and there's no desire to earn anything anymore. I do think that Kyle Busch is a great driver and one of the best but he did not earn the championship in my book. I would rather have year long points with no chase but they've totally made their rules into a circus. Yes other professional leagues have made changes to their playoff format but they also don't let all the teams compete in the playoffs. If nascar wants playoffs then they should only allow the top 10 in pts instead of pretty much everyone. It just makes all the races before the chase irrelevant. I like Kyle Busch and I do think he'll win multiple championships throughout the rest of his career but he did not earn the championship in 2015. He did earn it according to nascars Mickey Mouse rules but if you ask me (and I think most others) he did not earn it. I can't believe anyone in their right mind would think this is a good format to use. Gotta give everybody a chance, right? No point in earning things nowadays just let everyone qualify for the chase. Pay Burger King employees $15/hour. Cops can no longer shoot criminals because they're people too. Tax the rich so the lower class can still sit on their couch eating cheesy poofs and not work but still live a lavish lifestyle. This country is going to sh!t and I got two words that will save us all... Donald Trump.

                            Lol. NASCAR going to a playoff format, somehow translates to lets vote for Donald, ok? Could it be they are just trying to make a boring product exciting. That doing away with tracks with some excitement, and putting in tracks in big cities that are cookie cutter, was a terrible mistake. And they've alienated actual fans who know racing, for phony fans who'll be gone before they know it, like now.

                                There is no think about it. That is the only reason he has his ride...
