2009 NASCAR running thread

IT'S THE BIG ONE!!!!

 

And it looks like it was Junior's fault. Last time I defend him, dammit!

 

Yeah, what a freakin' idiot. Spun Vickers out into everyone else, and managed to dodge it all.

 

Looks like a pretty stupid move by Junior to cause the crash.

 

They just showed Junior's viewpoint, complete with the spotter's audio as Junior started the shit and then threaded the needle to escape pretty much unscathed:

"Nice....good job."

Whatever, asshole.

On the other hand, the commentators just suggested we should feel bad for Kyle Busch. Um, thanks, but no.

 

The FOX crew didn't have the balls to give Earnhardt Jr. the ripping he deserved for that one.

It was funny to listen to three grown men puss away from cutting to the chase.

 

Rain on the track.

 

That's because he's racing royalty. He's in a position of fame because of who his father was.

He has his father's name, but just a fraction (if that) of his daddy's talent or drive.

But, hey, what do I know? Five million rednecks can't be wrong.

 

One of them said right as the crash happened that it didn't matter who you were, there was no excuse for turning back up the track like that and getting into the back of Vickers. A memo must have been immediately dispatched to the broadcast booth telling them to cut out the heresy.

 

Vickers is spot on about no penalty on Dale, despite Jason Keller getting 5 laps for the same thing yesterday

 

And Junior gets his free pass, in more ways than one.

 

What a great nickname - Free Pass Earnhardt. It's right up there with Coo Coo Marlin.
