People are upet at Jr it was a part of the game Dale Sr would have done the same thing in know one would have complain. VICKERS IN 2006 DID THE SAME THING not only took out JR BUT HIS TEAMATE KYLE and BRIAN always was crying about something at HENDRICK'S remember in 2007 Kyle crash and left his team hanging that shows what I belive and many others who knows Nascar kiss their tales last year mostly Kyle no class. Always Jr was cheated by Nascar because the tire was just a inch off the line that should not have been a lap behind anyway.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24366637.post-35916263164654666872009-02-17T11:19:00.000-05:002009-02-17T11:19:00.000-05:00All I can say is Jr. fans are redneck idiots and w...All I can say is Jr. fans are redneck idiots and wouldn't call the sky blue if Jr. said it was red!

I think Montoya, Robby Gordon, and maybe a couple others. Not that this is siding with the 83 or 88 or explains the incident, but this is one rule NASCAR should look at changing. The leader of the race shouldn't have to restart 5 or 6 cars back (which in reality becomes the 10th or 12th when they're double-file). It seems like anytime we have these restarts, the leader or someone in the top 3 or 4 gets tied up with this nonsense. I think Kyle was 3rd at the time behind Sadler and Sorenson.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24366637.post-9813017517915279392009-02-16T15:14:00.000-05:002009-02-16T15:14:00.000-05:00Remember the year at Talladega he went below the y...Remember the year at Talladega he went below the yellow line to advance his position and won the race.No penalty then either.<BR/>This is why NASCAR is joke.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24366637.post-53635325521208321502009-02-16T14:58:00.000-05:002009-02-16T14:58:00.000-05:00Despite all the hype, He is still just an "also ra...Despite all the hype, He is still just an "also ran" and, in the Daytona 500, that also happened!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24366637.post-25968255004078576402009-02-16T14:50:00.000-05:002009-02-16T14:50:00.000-05:00I agree 100% with David - Junior is at fault and t...I agree 100% with David - Junior is at fault and took out many of the true contenders - of course, Jr.'s perspective (as well as that of his fans) sees things differently - what race were they watching?<BR/>However, NASCAR also should be called on the carpet for the total non-call, as expected as it sadly was.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24366637.post-27290821798969613222009-02-16T14:40:00.000-05:002009-02-16T14:40:00.000-05:00Pertinent to the issue but better for a different ...Pertinent to the issue but better for a different blog entry is this question -<BR/><BR/><EM>What does NASCAR think it is preventing with its yellow line rules?</EM>Monkeesfanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14522953722006761283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24366637.post-32360037344352775462009-02-16T14:39:00.000-05:002009-02-16T14:39:00.000-05:00Vickers didn't lift.

But the truth is this was a wreck as soon as Vickers blocked. Jr had 3 choices, do what he did(wreck), slam into Vickers,ie Bump draft(wreck) or brake(wreck). All three had wreck written all over it. If jr could have entered the track clean, without lifting, was his only shot at avoiding the wreck and keep racing. He tried and misjudged it. Win some, lose some, Thats Racin'!
