caution out, not sure why....

I think it was due to boredom.

LMAO

trevor bayne out of gas with 95 laps to go ... go figure

That stupid Jesus freak just cost Tony a bunch of track position

Go Nascar. Be in HD

More of a concern to Stewart -- Pits on lap 286/7 and caution comes out on lap 287/8 -- or is he leading?

CAUTION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Crash on restart!!!!

Jeff crowded everyone and caused a big wreck. What's wrong with that boy? LMAO

No way, Ragan caused it by coming down on the lip and then spinning out the number 4.

Exhale UCF Knight ... Exhale http://planetsmilies.net/not-tagged-smiley-14836.gif

I'm surprised Jeff admitted the wreck was his fault.

Go Kyle!!

**** Kyle

Hush pumpkin, you jinxed your driver... his car got a little smashed up http://planetsmilies.net/not-tagged-smiley-14836.gif

Oh Matt ya ****! LMAO

Thats some damn good racing there!

That would be the sound of a new champion.

OH HELL YES!!!!

Thank you JimiJo -- ran out of talent! LMAO

Hard lick --JimiJo ok in there?

Just what Kyle needed!

Hopefully the same thing happens to Kyle before this is over.

Damn, that was a pretty hard hit.

:cuss:

That's harder than Dale E. hit

That was ugly

Nobody on this telecast has any idea how many races are left.

sheesh, these guys got shiny brass ones!

Cautions Breed Cautions!

Lots of beating and banging going on.

Matt wins! Great job! - that's racing ...

Kyle comes in 2nd -- On to Talladega!

What in the hell was Carl complaining about to Kyle?

Carls reeruned, he thinks everyone runs at himm too hard

Carl Edwards, Kyle Busch didn't wreck you, he didn't bump you, he rubbed you. And Rubbings racing!

Kyle: 'He (Edwards) didn't like the way I raced him down in the corner.'

It's racin' Edwards.

Carl's an asshole ...

Absolutely hate, hate, hate ESPN/ABC's coverage of NASCAR. TNT runs a close second IMO. FOX is my favorite coverage and they're always the beginning of the season.

Major bad wreck in Vegas indy race. Serious chance of fatality.

Looks like it's Dan Wheldon, Indy 500 winner.

I suppose they're not showing any replays.

Just caught that. Not good when they cover the car like that.

Holy **** that was Brutal. Is Wheldon dead?

They have been it's on ABC.

The cover is standard, wraps around the wrecked car to contain debris/fluids.

Yeah I've been flipping there and keep seeing interviews.

They flew somebody out in the med chopper. They're not saying who or in what condition.

Talladega!

Truck race is coming up. Did we miss the Nationwide race?

It is about to get crazy...

They're praying for Dan Wheldon and asking God to watch over the drivers today.

Edit: SPEED TV Live Streaming http://www.firstrowsports.tv/sport/motosport.html

Bug, where are you?

The "Big One" is coming up. ...

like to see somebody knock austin dillion on to U.S. Hwy 431.

I don't have SPEED.

SPEED TV Live Streaming http://www.firstrowsports.tv/sport/motosport.html lol

oh boy, they're all bunch up ... something happened ...

Kyle is pushing Austin Dillon ... They're running 1st, 2nd

Here comes Mike Wallace & Ron Hornaday

It's getting racy

Edit: J.C. Why is Kyle pushing Dillion? -- the kid is young and inexperienced.

Caution, Caution is out !

The novelty of this shit has wore off.

Crap I hate these restrictor plate races when Carl drives like this. He hangs out at the back of the pack all day, and then hopes for a late charge. He's racing like he's scared again.

If I remember last year he did the same thing then got overly aggressive and ended up taking himself out of the race.

Regan Smith hit the wall hard. Martin and Hamlin put him there.

Serves Carl right for being such a wuss in this race that he probably has no chance to get to the front. This is what I hate about the "new" Carl his reluctance to race like he did when he was "hungry".

Vickers on a one man wrecking crew agenda against EGR.

24 hours of Martinsville rolls on. Still 80 laps left. I think there's been around 30 cautions so far.

Cautions every 8 laps.

Went almost 20 laps that time.

1.5 laps there.

over 1/5th of the race has been under caution....that's insane.

Here we go. JJ has opened a gap every restart so far.

Hell of a save from Jr there.

****ing one who sucks the penis.

Jimmie Johnson gave a big **** you to Vickers.

There she is

w00t!

Cryle just wrecked under caution Hornaday ruining Rons chances at a championship because Hornaday got too close to him going around a lapped truck.

Cryle parked for the night. TBD if Nascar has the balls to park him for the weekend.

Nascar officials guarding the hauler to keep Hornaday out.

Kyle says he did it because Ron raced him too hard.

<iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/dDBd0CLjOwc" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Here’s what Hornaday and Busch said afterward:
RON HORNADAY
“You guys seen it all. We’re going to for a points deal. I thought I had a pass on the front straightaway. He got a good run to get up on the quarter panel. I got a little loose and I got into him. It was a racing deal. That crap he pulled down there, they parked (Kevin) Harvick for the same retaliation at Martinsville. If they don’t park (Busch) on Sunday, I’ll be really upset. That’s just ignorant and stupid. I don’t know what you want to call it. He’s such a candy-ass, he won’t stay around to get a whooping like he’s supposed to get. It’s a shame. It’s not like I did anything wrong. I ran him down from a straightaway. He knew I was faster. A (lapped truck) was there. I moved up down the straightaway. He had his fit. Left front tire to my right quarter panel, you know you’re going to get loose and that’ what he meant to do.’’
Is there anything to say to him or do you need to just punch him?
HORNADAY: “I’m going to change, and I’m going to find his motorhome.’’


KYLE BUSCH
Did you lose your mind for a few seconds there? Did you consider Ron was in the title race?
KYLE: “If you consider that Ron was in the championship, maybe Ron could have played it a little bit smarter on lap 15 and checked up a little and given room to everybody around. Obviously, it you make it a three-wide situation, I can’t go up in the dirt. I’m already8 on the outside lane, there’s not three lanes out here right now. It’s the first race … of the weekend. If I just lay over and give up everything for Ron Hornaday, that’s not Kyle Busch’s fashion. I’m out here to win a race just as much as anybody else is. When he races up on my inside and gets loose and takes me up to the fence, I ended up losing my cool. I’ve been wrecked four weeks in a row and finally I just had enough of it. Sorry it was Ron Hornaday and he’s going after a championship but the fact of the matter is, you can’t place all blame on one person. There were two people that got into it to begin with and there were two people that ended it.’’
On the incident:
KYLE: It’s two guys racing for tight real estate and there’s only two lanes of race track out there right now. I’m racing for a win just as much as Ron Hornaday. It’s lap 15. He wants to make it three wide with a lapped car and knowing you always get loose when you’re on the inside. He got loose and got into me and knocked me up into the wall and I lost my cool, yeah, no doubt about it. I retaliated. It’s certainly my fault for doing that. For everybody who wants to say that Hornaday is racing for a championship, just roll over. That’s not my fashion. That’s not anybody else’s fashion out here. All these race car drivers are racers (and) go out to win a race. That’s what I was here to do and I got taken out of it on lap 15.
Are you concerned NASCAR might park you for the weekend?
KYLE: “No.’’
Did you do anything wrong?
KYLE: “My truck was hurt. I brushed the wall. My truck was hurt where I don’t think we could have won after that. If you’re a guy racing for a championship you need to be smart enough to understand that you can’t go three wide on lap 15 and knowing how bad the trucks are when you’re on the inside of somebody and not expect to get loose. Yeah, it was my fault after the fact, but who is going to fix my truck after it wrecked in turn 2 the first time?’’

KEVIN HARVICK
Harvick is the owner of Ron Hornaday's truck. He's driving in Friday night's race and during the caution for the Busch/Hornaday incident got on the radio and said:
"Kyle Busch is going to get his ass whipped shortly, I hope,'' Harvick said on his team's radio. "He better sit his ass in his motorhome or I'm going to come find him and he's going to have to hold my watch because I'm going to whip his ass. He's the biggest whining little piece of (expletive deleted) I've ever seen in my whole life.''
http://hamptonroads.com/2011/11/horn...g-wrecking-him

I don't think Kevin Harvick is all too thrilled with Busch at this point. Can't wait to see him post race.

When the announcers say you should be parked for a weekend. Even Michael Waltrip is like WTF? You should be parked for the weekend.

WBTV uncovers tax problems facing Jeremy Mayfield
2:26


Items stolen from race team among meth and guns in Jeremy Mayfield's home, police say
Search warrant revealed in Jeremy Mayfield's alleged theft ring



CATAWBA COUNTY (WBTV) - There's more news involving former NASCAR driver Jeremy Mayfield. He was arrested on drug charges this week and now a detailed search warrant concerning the incident has surfaced.
SLIDESHOW - UPDATED

Click here to view a photo gallery of items deputies found at Mayfield's home
New: photos of his estate

It tells how police worked, for about a month, with a tipster who told them Mayfield and about four others would break in to different businesses and steal. The warrant reads this type of criminal activity has been going on for about a year.

The tipster also tells police Mayfield would steal the items to get money to support his drug habit. The person told police the former driver used methamphetamine frequently. The source alleges Mayfield consumed the drug more than 500 times in their presence.



The search warrant also mentions Mayfield allegedly stole from Fitz Motorsports in Mooresville, NC. Police say two surface plates used to build race cars were stolen from that business. Also cases of oil and other motor equipment taken.

The search warrant also includes an accusation that Mayfield stole from nearby Red Bull Racing as well.

About $100,000 worth of stolen merchandise was found on Mayfield's property. Police are working now to figure out if Mayfield knew the items were stolen and he had something to do with it.

The Sheriff's Office says there are 69 guns that have been logged and are still waiting to see if any are stolen.

In addition to these potential theft charges, Mayfield is also facing tax problems. Catawba county tax officials say Mayfield owes more than $82,000 in back taxes on his four properties. Authorities say he is one step from foreclosure.

No word when or if theft charges will come for Mayfield. Investigators say that will be up to the District Attorney.

Detectives have been going around to metal scrap yards in the area looking for more evidence and talking to people.

Mayfield is due in court on Nov. 14 at 9 a.m.

WBTV tried contacting Mayfield but we were unsuccessful.

Meeting lasted 3 minutes and kyle busch left without comment.



I'm thinking a meeting that short means he's done for the weekend.

Mark Martin in at MWR, Reuty out.

bobpockrass Bob Pockrass
#nascar said they talked to Kyle Busch and will revisit again in morning.

bobpockrass Bob Pockrass
Hornaday said Kyle lives close to him and he can take care of things Monday. #nascar

bobpockrass Bob Pockrass
Will Harvick go to any meeting with #NASCAR and Busch? "I have been threatened with my life to stay way from Kyle Busch."

Is it possible Nascar finally grew a set?

@keselowski Brad Keselowski
We are all getting ready for early cup practice at Texas motor speedway. Sounds like something big might be going on in the garage...
