Aric doesnt have anything to lose now

Out with a whimper.  Homestead this weekend is the last time the Challenger body will be eligible. Carl Long's Xfinity car.

It'd be cool to see Dodge come back, but I doubt it'll happen anytime soon.

What's Joey's odds of winning the championship this year?

Looks like it was pretty good odds this year.  However, Kyle Busch won the regular seaon.

[A383Wing]

Well crap.....   

[nvrbdn]

That totally sucked!!!!!! Truex should have moved the punk. He had the chance earlier to do it. He failed. I know he was trying to be clean, but come on. I knew when they lined up that Logano was faster for 20 laps on new tires. Everyone across the nation knew that Logano was faster for the first 20 laps on new tires. What were Truex and his team thinking was going to happen?  It was time to back up your mouth and you didn't do it.  Just sucked!!!!!!

Last of the Mohicans for now I take it..

Not my favorite driver - but happy for Penske. He is a mans man and all class. Could have been worse....like KB.

[nvrbdn]

I personally would have taken Kyle over Logano. He whined and cried saying Newman was racing him too hard last year and they should have just rode around till the end, then race. Newman said, I thought we were here to race. Can't stand him no matter who he's driving for.

Yea, Truex even said that he would move him even before the race even started.......I was waiting for it....never happened

Maybe he got orders from the boss not to take Joey out....maybe he wanted to be remembered that he was a clean racer......either way, it was an opportunity that was missed

Hell....even Joey said that that's the way he races and he's not gonna change his style......he should be fair game to everyone out there from here on out

[Aero426]

I am not really a JL fan, but I appreciate it was a clean race that didn't have wrecks at the end and several overtime restarts.     Maybe if Truex had gotten back to his bumper at the end,  he would have moved him.   I certainly have respect for Martin and how he races.      Glad to see an American brand win.

agree.

I actually hate JL more then KB.

And I hate Toyotas, most of all.

Nice guys finish... last?   Ask Dale Sr. about his style...   

[nvrbdn]

Yep, Dale Sr. was the dirtiest driver in NASCAR. Was never a fan. It kinda soured my feelings about Jr. just because of the relationship. But I sure loved to root against him!!!!!

And that's what fans on both sides came to see....

I completely agree. THAT is what fans want to see. Rubbing is racing where I grew up.  I love it when they lean on each other hard, or race side by side hard. Football would be boring with no tackling, just like races are VERY boring with no contact in them. I know it costs teams a lot of money to fix cars, but it is the reality of racing. Contact is what makes figure 8 racing exciting, or demolition derby's exciting. In all sports, it is the thrill of something crazy happening. That is why I find all sports other then racing and football BORING. Sorry, just being honest.

I loved Dale Sr. And a lot of people say that he was dirty, but also forget the other drivers that were just as, or dirtier then Dale Sr. There were a few, just not as successful. Mr. Excitement for one, Jimmy Spencer, Ernie Irvan (swerven Ervan), Juan Pablo Montoya, Kevin Harvick when he was younger, Robby Gordon, Tony Stewart, Cale Yarborough, Lee Petty was known for being very aggressive. Even Darrel & Michael Waltrip. Dale Sr. was just racing before all the overkill rules that nascar invented. When you could get away with a lot more. Everyone always point to to Dale SR because he was always in the spotlight, yet there were all those other guys that raced with him, that were doing a lot of the same type of driving. And there always will be drivers like that.

[nvrbdn]

Tony Stewart was one of the worse drivers out there for inflicting punishment, probably in second behind Sr.. He was always causing controversy. I agree with that.
