The infamous Danica finger point..

Ambulance medic on the other hand was thinking..

 

[The Bman]

There goes Vickers into the wall. Didn't spin, just made contact.

 

[Müle]

Here comes Hendrick!

 

[The Bman]

Hamlin is doing the Dougie to victory.

 

[RACECAR]

Didn't think the diamond cut was possible to pull off at Bristol, but Some of the drivers are making it work.

 

[The Bman]

Hamlin takes the win.

 

[Müle]

Better than Edwards.

 

[cgr-10]

If nothing else that was an awesome burnout covering the crew in smoke, damn. Wish HMS could have got up there and raced him for the win though.

 

[Jello18]

I wonder if Hamlin will be a true championship contender

He still hasn't fully recovered from choking 2 years ago I think.

20th Career win for Denny Hamlin! Very Impressive Feat.

 

[MustangRyan]

Better than Edwards.

That's kind of funny, considering which car you drive in our league.

 

[RACECAR]

Better than Edwards.

*Looks at Avatar and Sig*

Just because I drive his car doesn't mean I don't absolutely hate him.

You had a tough choice picking between Carl Edward's car and the one of an alleged drug taker

 

[ICEYOU]

I've actually come to the realization that there's actually TWO RACES left till the Chase!

 

[CodeRedR51]

RT, how do you explain your drivers actions?

Meh, that's how I feel. I still stand by what I said before about Danica.

Wish the finish would have been more exciting. The Kenseth & Stewart crash was the best thing that happened all night.

 

[Cowboys965]

Hater.

She shouldn't be in the Cup series already. Plain and simple.

 

[Wilbur]

She shouldn't be in the Cup series already. Plain and simple.

While she might not be, she probably ran the cleanest of any lead lap car all night. Funny she didn't have one mark on her car til the wreck with Regan who seemed to get into it with a few guys.

Tony is a douche! He can't accept that things happen when racing hard and have to use the bully method to try to make someone scared of him. I don't see Matt really caring too much or being shaken up over it since he is calm most of the time.

Watch what you say.

I will say, however, that I cannot understand why people are so tolerant of him doing those actions, yet when another driver does it, people have to attack them. Say that was Kasey Kahne who threw his helmet at Kenseth after a wreck with him. People would say something like, "what a crybaby". But this is Stewart, so everyone is alright with it.

 

[Adamgp]

I guess we can rule out Kenseth moving to Stewart-Haas for 2013. Tony was right to be mad. Didn't know Tony was a south-paw either.

I'm no Danica fan but her run was impressive. I didn't think she would last that long, or stay on the lead lap for that long.

As for the race, it was IMO the best Bristol race since 2006. Not as good as pre-2006 Bristol though.

 

[GTPorsche]

Did everyone forget that Danica was a lap down for most of the race?

Ryan Newman has been virtually eliminated from wild card discussions. As for Gordon I don't he's out of it yet. Richmond is a good track for him, but his performance at Atlanta is masterful.

Newman could get a suprise win and make the chase, I don't see it happening but it could.

It could happen, but he just isn't aggressive enough. It's beyond me why Hass wants to keep him for next year??

Brian Vickers could be a very credible contestant for the #22 Dodge next season or even the #39 Chevy too. He's done pretty damn well this season and considering he's been out of the car most of the season, to have three top-fives in six starts is incredible.

Way I see it:

Kenseth to Gibbs in the #20 or #17. Bear in mind Gibbs #20 is a famous number and Matt has always used the #17. Stenhouse or Bayne to the #6 , or perhaps Newman maybe out a ride in the #39, not sure who to replace him - perhaps Logano... or maybe Logano in the #6 as he has more experience than the other two - Jack Roush wanted the #6 back. Hornish in the #22, he's right at front in NW and proven himself in his races in the #22.

 

[GTPorsche]

Stenhouse is already confirmed to be replacing Kenseth, but Roush will probably put him in the 6.

Bayne is full time Nationwide next season.

 

[Furinkazen]

Bayne is full time Nationwide next season.

Not even running the Daytona 500? Doesn;t he get a provisional slot in as a Daytona 500 winner?
