Well said, Mike. Well said. A NASCAR driver racing to win! What a novel concept!

As I stated in another thread, a case could be made that Brian was merely bump-drafting his "team mate" completely past Junior. I don't necessarily believe this to be the case but a case might be made for it.

I predict John Darby'll have a cow, and put out a new "Thou shalt not bump draft edit by Wednesday. There also may be a chastisement in store for Vickers. They may fine him, take points or take away his birthday. But to what end? Brian is one of the "invisable non-top ten," so what will any minor penalty prove?

I wouldn't say that I was crying, more like being pi$$ed off that Junior was involved in an accident in the last lap that stole a victory from him. If JJ had gotten around Junior at that part of the race and won, I would have commended him on a good, hard fought victory. As that didn't happen, BV just ended up on my list that I only mention by initials, not by name. Besides, since BV is leaving, he hasn't been included in team meetings and the like for a while. I guess BV and JJ and the rest are quasi-teammates now.

Yeah. Jr fans are annoying with their crying and complaining. But some aren't.
Jeff is only 147 points behind, he can still come back but will need some help to do so. Luckily we have Lowes and Martinsville next week, tracks he should be good at, unless he dosen't get involved in someone elses wreck like he did with Johnson.

Candlejack, didnt Jr. steal a victory earlier this year by punting someone into the wall on the last lap? I can't recall which race it was, but it was the first time I ever heard Jr. being boo'd.
I'm a big Earnhardt Jr. fan, but call them as I see them. This is racing, and all the top drivers have had their share of "unspecatular" moments.

Perfect. Seems interesting on how Jr fans praised Jr and some fans even said that Jr showed a great example of Dale Earnhardt, but when Jr gets moved, people complain?

I was so mad when Dale Jr. got taken out by Johnson because of Vickers! Hendericks guys need to chill with a popsicle! LOL! Jr. had it I can't believe he was so calm after the race during the interview!

Sorry, you've got to get both 1st & 2nd in order to get a chance at the tickets. The ticket contest is for all of GoTeamsGo.com so we tried to come up with comparably hard things to guess in NASCAR, college football, MLB & NFL.

It's hard to pick the top 2 finishers in order, just like it's hard to pick the exact score of a game.

But if you want to up your odds of winning the tickets, you can guess the scores on a whole bunch of different games. There's about 70 games remaining where you can guess the correct score. And you can use the ticket $$ to buy whatever tickets you want. For example, you can guess the Tennessee Titans vs. Washington Redskins score and use the ticket money to buy Atlanta Motor Speedway tickets.

I'm kinda surprised nobody's really putting in picks all over the place. We've had zero winners yet so 1 correct pick may mean that you get $250 in tickets.

If you've got any friends that want tickets to any sporting event, let them know we're having this contest.

Hi Ross! Nascar is the only sport I watch so as far as football, baseball I'm clueless! LOL! I don't even know who is in the playoffs! LOL!
