I liked the race. Albeit a Dodge didn't win, it was sort of cool seeing #21 Wood Brothers driven by 1st time runner/winner Trevor Bayne... I think Dodge had a great showing... Good going Penske !!!

The 2000 Winston Cup Champion. Been a Bobby fan since the mid 90s and always will be. I guess since he wasn't in a Hendricks, Roush, Penske car no need to talk to him. It was good to see the Wood Brothers win again.

There are Dodges somewhere in NASCAR?  Thought the last one was late 70's

Now watch what you say or they'll be calling you a radical,

I totoally agree, Bobby is one of the nicest people on the circuit not to mention he really should have had 2nd place. What kind of crap was C. Edwards pulling there by forcing him over on a Superspeedway,maybe Bobby should have put Cousin Carl into the grass.  As many of you know Bobby is still a very talented driver, he has just made some bad choices with the teams lately. If you give him good equipment he will put up some results. I do wish that he wasn't driving a Toyota.

What I mean was that there is absolutely NO connection between those Aero-race cars with custom engines and anything the auto manufacturers make.  Oh wait, the stickers look the same.

Sick of hearing people refer to those cars as "Chevy", "Dodge", "Ford"...

VERY COOL STORY.

Morgan Shepherd: Las Vegas crimefighter!

LAS VEGAS, NV - Most NASCAR drivers don't come to mind when you think of Las Vegas crimefighters, but then again, most NASCAR drivers aren't 69-year-old Morgan Shepherd.

The veteran of 44 NASCAR seasons was getting out of his rental car in the parking lot of a Wal-Mart store Monday evening just minutes away from Las Vegas Motor Speedway just as three men burst from the store's entrance with security forces trailing behind.

Thats when Shepherd, a daily jogger and fitness perfectionist, sprang into action.

"I just got out and took off after them," Shepherd said. "I caught one of them just as they were getting ready to hop a little wall at the end of the parking lot. I yanked him down and got on top of him."

Shepherd said in a matter of seconds a Las Vegas police officer pitched the ageless NASCAR driver a pair and handcuffs and continued pursuit of the other two suspects, along with the store's security force.

"I cuffed him and sat on top of him," Shepherd said. "The police department officers showed up and asked if I could hold him a while longer while they ran down the others. I told them he wasn't going anywhere."

Shepherd said while the young shoplifter pleaded with him to let him go and about the possibility of going to jail, Shepherd used the time to lecture the youth about his poor choices.

"I didn't tell him a 69-year-old man chased him down," Shepherd joked. "He was probably 18 or 19. I told him he shouldn't be stealing stuff. There is just too much of this stuff going on."

Two years ago while in Las Vegas for a Nationwide Series race Shepherd himself experienced crime from the victim's perspective. His rental car was broken into and his GPS and cellular phone were stolen. During the 2008 season someone also stole his bicycle while he was racing at Chicagoland Speedway.

"So many people these days would just sit and watch those guys run away," Shepherd said. "People need to get up and help stop this type of stuff."

The three suspects were taken into custody by the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department. It wasn't known Tuesday what charges were pending against them.

Shepherd said after brushing himself off he and wife Cindy continued their shopping visit to Wal-Mart.

Just another day in the life of Morgan Shepherd, Las Vegas crimefighter!

I would love to see that, but the sponsors will never let that happen. To much money involved. But then again Joe Gibbs is a stand up Moral guy and may do it because thats the right thing to do.
