Too early in a RACE to not give Smith the space?!? Kahne was passing him and Smith ran him up the ass. Are your eyes as ****ed as your brain? Smith got passed and rather than give up the spot he pushed the issue after the small initial contact and dumped him........that's why his nose was crushed in.

Make ya a bet............Kahne misses the Chase and I don't post in this thread throughout the Chase. He does..........you're out. You're a postwhore in this thread and I know that'll eat your ass up, but if Kahne is the "worst driver ever" in the 5 and "he's already out of the Chase" than you should have little trouble standing by your expert prognostications for the 5 team this year.

Don't be a bitch either.........prove to everyone how smart you really are!!

That is unless you think you might "run out of talent" by then.

I am good with that bet. Kahne won't be in the chase. Furthermore, Kahne deserved to be dumped for putting Smith into the wall.

Knaus won his appeal.

So Jimmie's car was illegal 16 other times and he never got caught?

We're not sure if it was illegal this time. Nascar never sent it through tech. They unloaded it off the truck and Nascar said it was illegal.

That's screwy. 6 week suspension on a "cuz we said so". Glad it was overturned.

Basically what happened was Nascar saw the S/N's on the car matched the one at Talledega when Knaus told JJ to put it into the wall after the race if they won.

It is dumb they kept the $100K fine in it after they over-turned the ruling. They cheated or they didn't. This "we think there was some intent BS" is more like the guy hearing the appeal was just trying to save NASCAR some face. They did say he is paid $1 a year so maybe dude just needed some lunch money?

Logano won Saturday at Fontana:



Unbeatable At Cali Joe Gibbs Racing's dominance continues at Auto Club Speedway.
Joey Logano won Saturday to extend JGR's Nationwide win streak to eight
at Fontana. Danica finished 35th.

Move along, nothing to see here.

Why second thought? Dale Jr.........has been since 98. Mainly because he was just a cool dude to me (we are about the same age) and didn't seem to let him being "Little E" overwhelm him publicly. The way he carried on after his Dad died was just amazing to me. We now know what a toll it took on him (as it would anyone) to lose his father, but to be reminded of it every day and turn into the man and person he is today is something to be admired.

I hear people talk shit about him all the time and ask when is he gonna win again, blah, blah. etc, but I don't care. He's my guy and it won't change just like I'll never pick up another team/school because the Royals, Chiefs, or K-State is having a shit as year.........or decades in the case of the Chiefs and Royals!!

just tuned in. did i miss anything?
