Hey I like Harvick better than Jr all day every day. But you got all those cats staying out with no fuel, and then they wad up the field because they're all out of gas. Throw the damn caution.

Buncha bs. Where was the fukn caution?
Should have been thrown!!Only way they did not throw it was because they thought the golden child was going to win until he ran out of fuel.Dale JR. has only won 17 races in cup in 11 years.

I think that had a little bit to do with it, but if they would have thrown the caution, half the field would have ran out of fuel also, making it an even bigger mess than it already was.


There should not be that much thought that goes into whether or not it is waved.

This, and there wasn't. They didn't have a 5 minute pow wow to decide to throw it or not.

NASCAR made the right decision there ultimately. Now if Burton stalled or Keselowski's tire exploded they would have looked dumb, but in hind sight it was the right call regardless of ulterior motives.

Since when has it ever taken NASCAR five minutes to throw a caution?

I just got back from Indy. There is plenty of straight up white trash up north.

Havent had the chance to go since the spin and win by Danny Sullivan in 1985. How was it today. I still get the goose bumps leading up to the race and then for the first several laps. Hope you enjoyed it as much as I did watching today. Yeah you are right, the north has some of their own necks for sure.

When Dale Jr wins a race this year, and he will, there's going to be one hell of a party somewhere.

I heard that, there are a lot of Earnhardt Jr. fans way out here in Montana. Believe it or not there are a great many fantastic race fans out here that I have noticed since moving here some three years ago after living my whole life in Gonzales, La.

Man, what a long arse race. Good finish, though. I have always liked the BUD car, no matter the driver. However, Harvick has the worst paint schemes. I can never find him on the track, let alone make out which one is the BUD car.

I like Harvick, but I hate that guys wife. Sitting up in the pitbox with a firesuit on... get over yourself. Did anyone else notice here freaking out at the end?

REALLY??? I wouldn't say he sucks. Any guy that wants to spend all that time driving on a track at such high speeds with a chance at death in every turn does NOT suck. But I am sure you could do better tha jr.

Where did I say I was better? The only reason he still has a ride is because of his daddy's name. He has the talent of Buckshot Jones. Sorry for assuming you knew that my opinion of him was based on the talent of other Nascar drivers. Next time I'll dumb it down for ya
