Just a little side note?


Tossed it aside?

Hmmm, that sounds like he really wanted to give everyone a piece.

I think that was the part that bothered me more then the smashing. The way he tossed it to theside was so....I am not sure what the right word is.

I don't get it......Some of the articles pubbed on Monday say that Bass wasn't ticked off about it......Now????

Yes! My boy Colin Braun's luck finally turned for the better! 6 truck back in Victory Lane! First win for him, 50th for Jack in the Truck series Now to watch Erik Darnell in the NW series. I know as a Mark Martin fan I'm not obligated to cheer for Roush anymore but Jack's got 2 young'uns in his stable now that show real potential

You can cheer for anyone you want.

Very good race and KB was almost pleasant in the PR interview...Did I say that?

--------------------

I got my NASCAR Scene mag today and in it there was an article about Kyle "El Kabong" Busch and how Bass thought the guitar smash was OK.

Every article I have read has spun it a different way.

Even the NASCAR officials were ambilvalent about it.....

KB, here is a little tip about smashing a guitar..

If you want your little pieces, don't slam it down on it's edge. Slam it flat with the strings facing the ground.

That will take the body off the neck and keep it from springing back to hit you in the face.

There were a few thousand race fans and guitar players that took their KB bobbleheads and smashed them on the ground.

The Les Paul probably showed more resilience.

It was a great race! I am uploading pictures now. Will post a link soon.

Kyle was pleasant? Really? He sure wan't on his radio. We had the Sprint Fan View w/scanner and he was hot thee last 20 laps of the race. Called Norm Benning every name in the book...then calmed now about Norm, and admitted he "screwed" it up. But he was still cussing and swearing up a storm.

Can't wait to go back tomorrow!!!

Thank you Stock Car Jesus.


Any way you can, baby!

[RobiLee]

Boy did I come flying out of my seat....LOL

Love it!


Woo Hoo!! Mark Martin!

[aTailOf2Kitties]

Thank you Stock Car Jesus.

AMEN to that, brother! And another thanks to SCJ for not letting Kyle win at all this weekend

[Cincy'sMom]

I hope the TV coverage showed the great racing that was going on in the pack...most of the race was pretty boring, if you were watching Jimmie pull away, but, there was some great 3, 4 and 5 wide racing back in the pack.

I was pulling so hard for The Bif at the end...I think I was the only won in our sections of the stands go nuts becuase I was happy when Jimmie ran out of gas. Would have liked to see Greg pull it out, but good to see the Old Man win. Denny 3rd, Tony 7th...not too bad! Wish Ryan had a better day!

[Cinder & Smoke]

Who'z that Olde Phart wiffa Checkered Flag??

Nice goin, Mark!!!

[Moesha]

Hooray for a 16th place finish for Bill Elliott and the Wood Brothers!!!!

[RICHARD]

I need help (as usual....) I need real NASCAR fans to help me.


Here's my malfunction!


MM get the win on the last lap.

He gets the 5 points for leading a lap, right? I guess he does get credit for leading the last lap? Even if it's not a whole lap?

LOL, I put way too much thought into stuff like this!

I went on the NASCAR website and could not find any info....I could look in the Monday sports section and they would give the break down of who lead what laps and when---like J. Gordon 1-25, H. Sandler 25-67....., but not anymore....

Does anyone know where I can find that info?

THanks!

[Moesha]

Yes, the winner of the race gets 5 points for leading a lap, even if it is only the last lap. Lap leaders are only calculated at the start/finish line. So someone could pass the leader going into turn one and lose the lead coming out of turn four and not get credit for leading a lap. The leader of the lap is the driver leading at the start/finish line.

You can see who received 5 bonus points for leading a lap and who received 10 bonus points (5 for leading a lap and 5 more for leading the most laps) by going to NASCAR.com then go to the Standings tab and down to the Cup Results link.

Here it is for Michigan.

Edited to add that Paddocktalk.com has a NASCAR section. They will tell you the bonus points and also the number of laps led and the number of times the driver led. Here is the link for Michigan.
