As long as you do not gain position below the line you are fine. As far as records how far off is Kurt Bush as far as individual wrecks putting people in the fence....Dylan???

RedNeckRAider:

I am proud of Junior. It's something that's relatively easy to do. There's a reason for this: He values good sportsmanship and traditional Southern charm.

Junior come across as honest, thoughtful and sensitive. He's a class act.

In 2010, Junior was named NASCAR's Most Popular Driver for the eighth straight year. I read it quickly, but he beat out nine other drivers for the award. Here's the catch: 1.5 million people voted him in for the award. Now, think of the other 39 million people who had no idea this contest existed. LMAO

RedNeckRaider:

I find it hard to believe that Kurt Busch would intentionally take out his teammate. I may have missed it -- Drivers didn't complain whether the bump was premeditated and intentional.


TALLADEGA, Ala.—Kurt Busch had a difficult time avoiding chaos in Sunday’s Aaron’s 499 at Talladega Superspeedway. Three cars—those of Brian Vickers, Brad Keselowski and Dave Blaney—went for a spin after contact from Busch’s front bumper during three separate incidents.

“Restrictor-plate racing and this two-car draft is really tough, and I was in the middle of a bunch of incidents,” Busch said. “I feel bad for wrecking a bunch of cars, especially my teammate, Brad.”

Keselowski, however, absolved his Penske Racing teammate of responsibility.

“We made some great moves but got towards the back in the shuffle and when we did, we caught a big group that just stopped for some reason,” Keselowski said. “I heard that David Ragan blew up—I’m not exactly sure. We ran up on the group, and I just wasn’t able to stop quick enough with Kurt on my tail, and it just spun me right out.

“Just one of them deals here at Talladega. It’s just racing. I just got on the wrong end of it.”

Bayne takes a hard hit

Trevor Bayne, Kasey Kahne and Marcos Ambrose were collected in the incident that took out Keselowski.

As the lead pack of cars headed into Turn 3 on Lap 90, fire erupted beneath Ragan’s No. 6 Ford. As the field began to slow, contact from Busch’s No. 22 Dodge sent Keselowski’s No. 2 Dodge hard into the outside wall. Bayne and the others got caught in the wreck.

“That was one of the harder hits I’ve taken, just because it was so much of a frontal impact across the track, off the apron, all the way to the wall,” Bayne said. “I don’t know who got us. I saw the 6 blowing up in front of us, so I keyed up the mic. I’m like, ‘It’s getting crazy in front of me, Greg’—I was on Greg Biffle’s radio at the time. As soon as I said that they blew up, Greg got off of me because I yelled, ‘Blowing up, blowing up.’

“He got off of me and at the same time the 2 car got hooked somehow. I don’t know that they triggered each other; I just saw the 2 get hooked at the same time the 6 was on fire. He (Keselowski) goes across the track, I saw him hit the outside wall, but then I don’t know who caught us in the right rear and sent us. But I thought we were safe. I was like, ‘Man, that was close,’ and about the time I said that I was headed toward the outside wall. So not a fun ride.”

FEUD OF THE WEEK: Kurt Busch vs. the field. BUSCH WHACKED

Kurt Busch apologized for the wrecks he was involved in during the Aaron’s 499 on Sunday at Talladega Superspeedway.

Will that be enough?

Possibly, but at the very least Busch needs to tread lightly around the slew of drivers caught up in the accidents he appeared to cause in the draft at Talladega. Many of those involved said afterward that the incidents were mostly a product of the restrictor-plate, two-car draft style of racing that the track has seen recently.

But some drivers might be extra cautious around the Penske Racing driver when Daytona comes around in July and opt not to work with him. Or, they may choose to cut Busch no slack in upcoming races.

Red Bull Racing’s postrace news release simply stated “Thanks, Kurt” as both of its drivers, Kasey Kahne and Brian Vickers, were caught up in wrecks that started when Busch got into the back of another car.

Vickers was involved in the first one when Landon Cassill got turned while Busch was pushing him. Kahne was collected in the second one when Brad Keselowski had to slow down and was spun by Busch, his teammate.

“I was riding around minding my own business and we just got hit in the door,” Vickers said. “It looked like Kurt got into the left rear and turned the 09 [of Cassill], and we happened to be the unlucky victim.”

Unlike his deal with Matt Kenseth earlier in the season, Vickers didn’t vow to take out Busch, but obviously he is tired of being in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Late in the race, Dave Blaney also had to check up and Busch got into the back of him.

“I had to lift,” Blaney said. “Nothing Kurt could do. It wasn’t anything he did.”

Busch seemed almost befuddled by how the race went down.

“Hell, I wrecked my teammate today just with the front bumper, just me not keeping track of it or it getting too gaulded up with crud,” Busch said afterward. “[It was] just really an odd day. I feel bad for wrecking a bunch of cars, especially my teammate.”

Keselowski said that the wrecks stemmed from the unpredictable nature of the two-car draft as the driver pushing has limited visibility and cannot tell when the driver in front checks up.

The same thing happened when Denny Hamlin spun Juan Pablo Montoya and Joey Logano spun teammate Kyle Busch.

But only Busch found himself involved in three different wrecks.

“My car was really fast all day getting pushed,” he said. “Once I had to push, the car didn’t seem as stable as I needed it to be.”

Busch probably needs to hope that the week off will temper any anger from other drivers and that in the more than two months until the next restrictor-plate race, people forget what happened at Talladega.

The best way might be to not have too much happen at Richmond in two weeks.

NASCAR's France sues ex-wife, claims wiretapping, extortion

By Gary L. Wright - [email protected]
Friday, Apr. 15, 2011

NASCAR chairman Brian France has sued his former wife, accusing her of tape recording telephone conversations to extort money from him.

In a lawsuit filed Friday, Brian France claims his ex-wife, Megan France, recorded multiple telephone conversations with him without his consent. He is asking a federal judge to issue an injunction barring her from engaging in additional "intercepts of wire communications" between the two and distributing the contents of the recordings.

Brian and Megan France have been married and divorced twice, Brian France noted in his lawsuit. Their second divorce was finalized on April 29, 2008.

"Throughout this time...defendant has engaged in a pattern and practice of illegally tape recording conversations with plaintiff, without his knowledge or consent, for the purpose of extorting money and other concessions from plaintiff," the lawsuit alleges.

"Defendant has threatened to disclose these illegal recordings to third parties and thereby damage Mr. France in his personal capacity as well as in his professional capacity as the Chairman and CEO of NASCAR."

Brian France alleges his ex-wife has offered not to disclose the recordings - keeping them private - if he pays her "substantial sums of money."

Brian France has sought to keep the messy divorce and legal dispute in state court secret.

Their state court case began in 2008 when Brian France won a ruling from then-Mecklenburg District Judge Todd Owens, who granted him the right to file a sealed lawsuit against Megan France accusing her of breaching the divorce agreement's confidentiality clause.

Owens placed the entire complaint, including his own order sealing the record, under seal - an unusual move in a court system that typically allows widespread access to courtrooms and documents.

Brian France also sought to have the courtroom proceedings closed to the public.

Mecklenburg District Judge Jena Culler overturned Owens' order and ruled in 2009 that the documents be unsealed and that the proceedings be held in open court.

Brian France appealed. His lawyer has said the dispute between the Frances involves "intensely private (matters) that related to the welfare and parenting of minor children...and private personal financial matters."

The Observer has sought access to the secret court documents and asked that the court hearings be kept open.

The divorce agreement that is currently under seal is what the Frances signed after their second divorce. It stipulates not only the money owed to Megan France, but also custody terms for their young twins and provisions about their upbringing, including that they be raised in Mecklenburg County, according to court filings.

Brian France agreed to pay Megan France a total of $9 million in "distributive" awards, as well as $32,500 a month in alimony for 10 years and $10,000 a month in child support, according to the documents.

In February, the N.C. Court of Appeals ruled that the Frances' litigation should be played out in open court. The appeals court said Brian France had failed to show that his interest in keeping the litigation secret outweighed the public's right to open court proceedings.

The appeals court judges, however, allowed previously filed documents in the case to remain sealed, leaving it to the judge in Charlotte who handles the Frances' trial to decide which documents, if any, should be made public. The judge also will have to decide whether courtroom testimony related to sealed documents should be closed.

Researcher Maria David of the Observer contributed to this report.
