88 caused the wreck. Which was unnecessary when he was a lap down and he took out half of the top 10.

My respect for the 88 is dwindling.
A driver got a 5 lap penalty yesterday for reckless driving like the 88 did today. 88 was getting frustrated, totally uncalled for. And he didn't really seem to care about it. I guess when you're the golden boy you can get away with it.

i'm a junior fan but he should have got the 5 lap penalty like the guy in the bush race (i know it is nationwide now but i just can't call it that yet). not fair. nascar says they don't play favorites but here is an example of it.

I agree. And it will always be Busch, not Nationwide.

Opps, I forgot to pick some new drivers from the list for this weekend, I have to work with what I had on my bench from last weekend. Hopefully a better run this time around though.

I changed my picks last week, and Kenseth won another one. :-?

I'm debating if I should even change them this week....

what does everyone think of the Jeremy Mayfield drama?

I think he should stop whining. And I think it would be extra funny if Claritin D was one of his sponsors.

I think Mayfield has got a legitimate beef.
The fact that NASCAR would not voluntariy release results of what substance was at the heart of the suspension raised suspicion.

Amphetamines can be a serious drug to deal with, but they also are a common ingredient of allergy drugs, and I've yet to hear any evidence
that he was actually some kind of crystal meth tweaker. I don't think they expected this much supported pushback from Mayfield.

NASCAR's governing body has continuously proven themselves to be an inbred joke. :-? :lol:
