Nascar 2010

[aTailOf2Kitties]

I missed the whole thing. I was on pit road and saw Carl cross the finish line and had just turned around toward VL when everything else happened. Figures. I missed the Carl vs Brad showdown when Carl won in Memphis too 'cuz I was jostling for the best position for VL pics.

I have over 450 pics to dig through, I'm sure at least 100 are junk. I'll get the rest uploaded soon.

I have to side with Anna on this one. I think Carl raced Brad the way Brad races.

And all these drivers who say he went too far, come on. I had to laugh at Kevin Harvick. Thursday on Nascar now on ESPN he was going on and on about how it was low-down dirty move. And at the same time they were showing video of him putting the same move on Joey Logano and wrecking him earlier this year. Ofcourse, then Joey came across his nose, He didn't do it on purpose

I didn't hear JPM say anything about it, but what about when he came out, laps down and wrecked Tony at Miami last year? What did Tony say? He knew had it coming!

Dale Sr. wrecked Terry Labonte, @ Bristol for the win. And many worship him for what he was to NASCAR.

Ryan Newman said it should be called ateemptted manslaughter. Really? I love ya Ryan, but you've wreck some ppl on purpose too.

Maybe Carl should have known better, since wrecking Brad before did something he never expected (put him in the air). This time it him in the of oncoming traffic. Honestly, if he hadn't been hit multiple times and spun, I don't know if the same big deal would have been made of it.

Very well said, Amy. All excellent examples.

BTW...I was live and in person at that Dale Sr./Terry Labonte Bristol race. It is something I will never forget! The crowd EXPLODED!

Never thought I would ever root for Kyle Busch to win. After Carl's comments on his justification for putting Brad into the wall I lost all my respect for him. He used to be one of my favorites. He is a hot head and will end up hurting or killing someone.

Thanks for having my back girls

I only seen the last 10 laps, but the last 3 was all I needed to see!
Have to say I think Carl let up so he wouldn't get into Kyle Poor Carl.

I can't imagine disliking one of my favorite drivers because of an accident that got out of hand. But that's just my opinion. To each his/her own.

Carl has been one of my favorite drivers for some time. The tap that he received got him a little lose then he recovered and moved back into the lead. Then Brad passed him in the last corner. When Carl realize he was going to come in second he let his anger decide to put Carl into the wall and a lot of good race cars with him. His comment " I couldn't let him take it from me" was the attitude that changed my opinion of Carl. I am not a fan of Brad but he did not recieve what he gave Carl. That would be like saying you slap me and I will shoot you.

All of your heros that did the same thing during their racing days are no better than Carl , Dirty racers. IMO that statement goes double for Dale Sr.

Didn't say any of them were my hero. I was never a Sr. fan. Cheered when he went in the wall at Daytona...until I found out the result. Never wished that on anyone. Not a fan of JPM, Harvick or Carl, either. But I think with Carl, Brad wrecked him 3 times before he ever hit him back (Talledega '09, Memphis, '09, Atlanta '10). Sorry, but I can't blame him, when Brad hits him, for hitting harder.


Good race today. Weird start, but one of the best at Indy in some time. Congrats to Jamie and Gnassi. Pretty impressive year to win Dayton, Indy 500 and the Brickyard.

Roush suffers minor injuries in crash


NASCAR team owner Jack Roush suffered minor cuts on his head in a plane crash Tuesday evening at Whitman Regional Airport in Oshkosh, Wis.

Roush was flying his private jet, a Beechcraft Premier 1A from Detroit. The jet made hard contact on landing and cracked the fuselage.

Brenda Strickland, a friend of Roush's, also was on board the plane. NASCAR journalist Bob Margolis, who is writing a book about Roush's life, was told that Roush and Strickland were not seriously hurt.

"Jack got out and had blood some blood on his face," Margolis said. "Apparently he bumped his head. They both were taken to a local hospital for observation, but I've been told they are OK."

Roush, an aviation buff, was expected to attend the Experimental Aircraft Association's annual AirVenture in Oshkosh, this week.

Roush, an experienced pilot, suffered serious injuries in a plane crash near Talladega, Ala., in 2002. He was flying his P-51 aircraft when it crashed into a lake. Roush was unconscious and would have drowned, but he was pulled from the water by Larry Hicks, a retired marine who lived nearby and saw the crash.

Roush was in Oshkosh for EAA AirVenture, an annual air show.
