    Kyle Busch spins Earnhart Jr. with three laps to go while they are fighting for the lead. He'll need security to leave the building.

    Shame, I was thinking Dale was going to snap his losing streak!

    Maybe they'll throw beer cans like they did at Jeff Gordon.

    For sure. I'm not upset about it, but I think there is a new Guinness World Record: Most middle fingers directed at one individual.

    I'm not a die-hard Jr. fan, but I was hoping he would win (if Mark Martin doesn't win).

    I'm a Busch and (any Hendrick driver) fan, so I'm good either way. Boyer may be in trouble though...

    Same here. :) I don't usually watch them, but this one could be juicy.


    BTW, did anyone see where Michael Waltrip and ??? got into it? On the playback from MW's car you could clearly hear him step into the throttle and push the guy around the track. Announcers? Quiet, for once...

    Despite not winning again, Dale Jr is third in points. At least he has proven he has the ability, as he is leading his more successful teammates Jeff and Jimmie. I hope he wins the Championship this year.

    What happened tonight is part of the NASCAR. Kyle is not very well liked, Junior is, this will pack the stands next race.

    I loved watching Dale Sr., a master at car control, a genius at intimidation. Junior is not senior, but for being NASCAR's most popular driver, thankfully he has not developed the Juan Pablo syndrome.

    It's Junior's year.

    The announcers were quiet because Darrel (one of the announcers) is Michael's brother. The other guy was Casey Mears in a Hendricks car. Clearly Casey ran Michael into the wall, but it was also clear that Casey didn't know Michael was there. It is very apparent that MW is very frustrated with his anemic effort after Toyota paid him the big bucks. He was the big designated team for Toyota when Toyota entered the Cup ranks. He has done a poor job, including the embarassing caught cheating incident. So much so, that he and his team have been religated to a third teer Toyota Team. He really never could drive anyway. He has always rode on his brother's coat tails to get where he is. And the fact that his best friend was Dale Sr.

    It really was just a racing incident with no intent by either driver. I think Dale Jr pinched KB down a little as well. It's all been perceived as Kyle's fault based on his lack of popularity. The truth is, it was just one of those deals.

    I'd say it's being stuck on the Ganassi team.
