Well what are you thoughts on the big crash started by Kyle or not? Looked to me like he tried to go somewhere he couldn't fit.

Just racing, simple is that. If it was Kyle that was wrecked, folks would be ginving that driver a trophy.

Much ado about nothing.

Last night on Wind Tunnel they more or less gave the blame to Jr who didn't get a good restart. Kyle may have been the one who instituted contact but he was theoretically only doing the normal restart and didn't see the miscue.

i am a kyle fan , so maybe I see it different.
I was suprised to hear that Kyle apploguised.

what I saw was that jr. spun his tires and jammed everyone up, that happens just racing deal.

now jr. slowing started to go low, as did truex, when truex went low kyle started to his high side, then truex realizes that jr. was going low then he turned back up, kyle had just a nose in there, which is why truex got turned to the outside. kyle never jacked truex up straight from the rear, so kyle didn't run over him. if anything truexs spotter should have been telling him outside outside


but in the end it all happened so fast it was a racing deal

Me too. Usually he runs off and nobody can find him

I echo the "it's just racin" sentiment.

Naturally I didn't want the wreck. And, as often happens in these types of incidents, the car/driver who was the initial cause of the incident came away clean.

I didn't see anything that could have been pre-meditated nor bad judgment in what happened. So, without being privy to each driver's thoughts, there's nothing on the surface that allows blame to be placed anywhere but on racing.

I'm usely face to blame Kyle on things but this was just a racing deal here. Jr spun the tires trying to get going(which I'm sure all drives have done) and it bunched the feel up. Kyle then got going a little better then Truex and he got into him and all that and it caused the wreck.

So just one of them racing deals.

There's one little tidbit left out: Truex moved down creating an open lane between himself and the car on the outside, giving Kyle an opening which Kyle tried to get into. Anybody who's been following Kyle at all this year knows he usually gets a better start than those around him and is quick to spot, and take advantage of, openings. Kyle had his nose between Truex and the outside car when Truex tried to move back up. Kyle was already close to getting into the outside car when Truex moved up and Kyle had no place to go.

Still, it comes down to 2 racers doing the exact same thing (trying to get the best start they can) and one of them comes away on the hook. If anything is to blame it's their lightening fast reflexes to changing situations.

My thoughts? Junior fans will blame Shrub.
Shrub fans will blame Junior.
People who "love" both Kyle and Junior (the ultimate incestuous fan relationship?) will blame Truex for getting in the way.
NA__AR will blame the economy.
Politicians will blame either Bush or Obama for causing the wreck.
People who were too drunk to even notice the wreck will groggily ask, "Whut??".
Race fans will chalk it off as just hard racing.

Usually Kyle is in real need of Desenex for the mouth. Because that's where he keeps his foot. But in this case, I'm not so sure. It kind of looked like he was it fault, but at another angle, maybe not.

So I don't know if I'm ready to throw the book at him AGAIN.

[LSC9901]

Blame whom ever you like. It's history now and cannot be changed.

Here, here!!!

Put all the lead cars side by side and restart and this is going to happen. I thought the purpose of the side by side restarts was "excitement" and that's what people wanted.

People are quick to assign blame but if you watch the crawler for even the first few laps after a restart the distance from leader to 15-20th place is normally less than 2 seconds. That's a lot of cars in a short spot...considering on the interstate you are normally 2 seconds away from the car in front of you.

[number20]

It was exciting, I know, I was there, about 200 feet from the crash. Kyle, love him or hate him, did NOTHING wrong (I don't love or hate him FWIW.) There was a hole, and he ceased opportunity.

AFA the double file restarts, they are extremely exciting, and no longer do the cars that can't keep up become a factor in the restart equation. Nascar should have begun this years ago.
