how did Mikey Waltrip come away with 3rd, 4th, and 5th place? Truex, Bowyer and Vickers.

rather odd.

Well it helps that Mikey wasn't driving any of the cars.

My Nascar buddies are right: Junior was faster than Jeff at the time, exhaust pipes cut the tire, just a racing deal

Junior's post-race interview: My buddies called it right on Jeff / Junior situation. (see post above)

These guys are good -- I know them for a long time. Some of them used to be a part of NASCAR behind the scenes.

It was worth it just so we could listen to Gordon whine.

Great job by Keselowski today. Total opposite of the 5 car.

I'm the idiot? You used 2 words incorrectly in a 3 word sentence!

He shouldn't be listening to his spotter.........who the **** else should he be listening to?

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.

First day on CP?

[In58men]

Kahne is having some very bad luck, 29th at Daytona (accident), 34th at Phoenix, 19th at Las Vegas & 37th today. Isn't his spotter his brother? Kinda funny if you ask me. IMO his spotter made a bad call, plain and simple. Too bad Carl was involved, but my 2nd fav driver is Keselowski. Next week I'll be at the Fontana race, I'll try to post some pics.

You don't need some guys that use to be part of NASCAR "behind the scenes" to see the doughnut hole on the side of Junior's car to paint the picture.............working set of eyeballs and DW saying 15 seconds after it happened "Jeff's tire had to have gotten into the exhaust pipes on Junior's car for that tire to get cut down that fast" to know what happened. I think a lot of people in this thread (the ones that post 5 times per page) just want to show everyone what a NASCAR expert they are or how "plugged in" they are. Too bad the Chief's game threads don't get the real-time expert insight that this thread does. Could really bring a lot to the game watching experience!!!
