GO BRAD! 

[Indygenerallee]

Good to see Brad win! Go #2!!

[dyslexic teddybear]

Good to see everyone agreeing......


I'm just kinda bummed about.......coulda been a pair of Dodge's going for a championship........


From what I have read......some dude named Sergio didn't like Dodge racing in Nascar......or racing Vipers for that matter.....

[TruckDriver]

Lagano and Keslowski are just punks.

At least Johnson is done lol. So better BK then the #48 car

[keith88]

Just because brad USE to drive a dodge does not mean you have to like him. After his whacked view of what happen last week dose not help that issue! I lost a lot of respect him in that deal.

[TruckDriver]

I lost a ton of respect for BK as well after last week. Now I see him like Joey Logano... A punk kid

[maxwellwedge]

Feel bad for Junior, don't care about JJ or Kyle.
BK is old school aggressive....I like that (unlike most of the boring sponsor suck-ups) and the last champ in a Mopar.
It think it will come down to Kevin and Brad....with Jeff hovering close.

[wingcar]

I for one will really, really miss not having Jimmie Johnson in the hunt for another championship.   

[Chargen69]

gordon isnt missing him either

Same here but BK could at least own up to what he did and not lie about it on TV especially when everyone could see it on in the replay!

I'm more of a Penske fan than I am a BK or Logano fan.  His team has always had to play 2nd fiddle to Hendrick, Roush, and Childress in Nascar.  I also liked Rusty when he was driving for Penske, especially at the short tracks.  Penske always seems to pick aggressive drivers.  I thought having KB and Allmindinger was a good choice until each driver screwed up pr. wise.

[dyslexic teddybear]

Dodge fan.......not so much a Penske/Brad fan.

So.....agree, lost a bit of respect for Brad.

My problem is with Nascar.......if Brad bumping on pit road is bad.....set a penalty for it and enforce it equally. Brad sure has not been the only one......



Something did happen during the race I never expected......I actually cheered when the 10 took the lead from 48......

I believe BK said he wasn't proud about what happened the previous week while in the victory circle.   I would have to go back and watch once again.  Bottomline, he did address what happened the previous week.  And, I am sure he now realizes that it didn't put him in the best light.  I am also sure that Mr. Penske had a little sit down with BK after that race.  
I am glad BK made it to the next round.   The last 20 or so laps were the best of the whole race.  It was neat to see Danica take the lead.....and from Johnson no less!   Danica's pass of the 48 and BK's passing of  Newman on the last lap were the best moves of the day!

As long as a toyota doesn't win!   

[nvrbdn]

rooting for newman all the way. cant deny his constant top 10 finishes are doing the job. he had absolutely no help at the end of the race. tonys crew came up behind him and could have pushed him to the win but they both went side by side and slowed down the outside lines so there was no help on the top.

glad hendrick lost 3 of 4 drivers in the chase. too bad it wasnt a clean sweep.

[thedodgeboys]

well that sure messed up my bracket  I had Jr in the last 4 

it was cool to see the 10 car take the lead away and hold it for several laps it would have been a cool win 



my new last 4 are the 2,22,24 and the


























31....

Looks like Kurt Busch and Danica will be switching crews after this weekend:  http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/nascar-from-the-marbles/stewart-haas-racing-switches-teams-of-kurt-busch-and-danica-patrick-144216464.html

It might be a bigger benefit for KB, probably not so much for Danica.

[Chargen69]

This is the beginning of the good ole "how do we keep KB without losing everybody else on the team"

[JB400]

McMurray is on pole at Martinsville   Logano outside pole.

[wingcar]

Johnson out of the race.....I'm happy
Jr. wins...............The world is happy

[nvrbdn]

i am content since newman is still hanging in there.

  I know im really wishing for the stars, the moon, and all the planets,  but if ryan could just finish (and im not saying i have to have a championship victory or anything like that) above all the hendrick drivers, and all the stewart/haas drivers (also known as the other hendrick drivers) then my year will be great.

[Chargen69]

was i sleeping? i thought jeff hit brad?

[Chargen69]

was i sleeping? i thought jeff hit brad?

just watched a replay in slow motion, brad moved up a 1/2 line and stayed put, jeff came down on him. 

[TruckDriver]

This was the best part of the whole race, the fight in the pits, lol
