Denny Hamlin has now claimed the victory he has waited a long time for. Tonight he won the Nationwide race at Richmond VA. Denny grew up in Chesterfield, VA just 15 minutes away. Mom, Dad and several family members were in the stands tonight to see Denny win at his home track.

Congratulations Denny.

Denny needs to go calm down his teammate Kyle Busch. Steven Wallace grabbed KB by the helmet when KB stuck his head in the window.

Congrats to Denny.

Did you see the little thing between Busch and Wallace? Two mature guys there.
And now Wallace called him a girl or something to effect.

Unfortunately Kyle said a whole bunch of stupid things during his interview. I'm sure NASCAR will enjoy their talk with him over this race. I couldn't hardly understand a word Wallace was saying. I think he made a big mistake grabbing Kyle's helmet. I'm sure it was more about emotions than anything else but none the less he'll pay for that dumb move.

I am loving it!

Wallace tried to turn Busch with 2 to go and Busch came back like the wunderkind (definition: A person of remarkable talent or ability who achieves great success or acclaim at an early age.) he is and regained the spot! It was an awesome demonstration of driving skill on Busch's part! What I really like about the whole thing is Kyle could have easily turned Wallace but didn't! He just dove underneath and made the pass with 1 to go!

Now, what I like about Wallace is his attitude and refusal to be upstaged by a star like Busch! Busch walked over to the #66, stuck his head into the window and summarily got grabbed! Good soap opera drama stuff! (Either that or Wallace is too dim-witted to know better...)

YES !!! Take your pick. No wrong answer here.

I'll take door #2.

They were both acting like immature idiots post race. Wallace sounded like the fast forward button got stuck. Grabbing Busch's helmet was uncalled for. I say put 'em both in a boxing ring and let 'em duke it out for a few rounds.

The one that could've gotten royally screwed in the whole deal was David Ragan since he was caught in the middle of that last lap scuffle.

Denny looks really good this weekend, he wins the Nationwide race, he's on the pole, I wouldn't be shocked to see him in victory lane tonight

Too funny. I couldn't quite come up with a reasonable description of what he sounded like but that was definitely it. I've never much cared for his father so with this show of intelligence I can see that the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. Mike is the only one I really care for and he just doesn't play the game very well.

Fortunately, I was able to record the racing incident with 2 to go, the helmet-grabbing and, most precious of all, the post-race interview with the Wallace kid!

Not only did it sound like he was stuck on fast-forward, it appeared that he said it all ON ONE BREATH!!! I mean once that kid got started, he just literally took off and forgot to breathe!

Can you imagine what it would be like if his uncle Kenny Wallace interviewed this guy? Not only would you not be able to understand either fellow, no one would be able to get a word in edgewise!

I forgot all about the race, so missed it all. But I did a quick Youtube search and found the ending, and Wallace/Busch confrontation.........

Too bad the nice story of Denny winning in Richmond is overshadowed by the actions of two morons. I agree, watch out for Denny in the race tonight, he is certainly looking like the one to beat.

read this Busch quote from race2win.net

What happened after the race?
"It all started there on the last lap coming out of turn two -- Steven Wallace got a better run off the corner than I did and instead of pulling out and passing, he hit me in the back end and jacked me up and jacked me sideways. Luckily, I was able to straighten it out and get into turn three behind him. He probably knew I was going to spin him out so he moved up the track and let me go by him. We came home third and instead of him passing me clean -- we ended up third and he ended up fifth. Just being an idiot and I went up and told him that you mess with the bull and you're going to get the horns. I didn't appreciate what he did so I told him what I thought about it and he can get hurt very easily here."

Kyle wanted to spin him, just couldn't cause Wallace went high, so don't be to impressed with Rowdy.

Now after watching the video, LSC I see what you meant about the possible penalty. I understand it now. Unlike Kyle if someone was to grab and snatch on something attached to my head like that, I would've went through the window on them.
