Sorry, but its freaking racing not nice boys day at the race track.

I like to see em bump and bang their way to the front.

Racing? Stewart just moved over and shoved Kenseth off the track and almost caused a huge pile up... for no reason. That's not racing... that's Tony showing that he is still a hot headed little prick. All he proved was that he can talk the talk, but he can't walk the walk.

I like to see 'em bump n bang too.... but this was a total dic move for no reason at all and took a number of other driver's lives into his own hands.

It was racing. They are changing the rules. Welcome to the new NASCAR. Soon it will be the Pampers Cup instead of the Nextel Cup.

I was pulling for Mark Martin when he took the lead for a short while a little while ago.

 

[JJS]

Well - Do ya like it?



He definitely drives like the Man use to!

I like it better than the pics, and I also know the facts behind the scheme now.

I hate that scoop though. They could've done better with that.

Tony did well for coming from the back twice.Wonder if he had to stand in a corner a lot as a child?

I have to disagree. That's not racing...that's stupidity. It's one thing when two (or more) of 'em are bumpin' and rubbin' while fighting for a position, but Tony simply intentionally knocked him out of control cuz he was angry. As far as I'm concerned he should have been removed from the race. Tony is one helluva driver, no denying that after today's performance...and the team has their stuff together...but he still has anger issues that just are not acceptable at 190MPH.

I don't like the "drama" turn that NASCAR has taken the past few years. What I used to love about the sport was the respect the drivers always showed towards each other. Now it's a bunch of name-calling, helmet-throwing childish crap.

Just one opinion.

No it's at Least two!!!!!! and probly more when the TRUTH is Known!! Why don't they go back to dirt Tracks and Real STOCK Cars Like Real Men!! Instead of a BUNCH of Hy-Tech Hillbillys (NASCAR) SUCKS!!!!!!:W :W :W

The only reason Johnson won was that Tony couldn't get up there to wreck him.Tony has a lot in common with ol'#3.Besides i can relate to people in anger managment.Go get'em Tony !!

I dunno...just seems to me that the integrity of the people involved has gone downhill. I can do without all the personal drama...just race the damn cars. Go after each other on the track...not off (and not under caution...there's a reason they call it CAUTION!)

I don't recall Dale EVER intentionally knocking someone off track UNLESS they were racing for position. But...I could have missed that.

Tony isn't in the same league as #3. Dale didn't do it cuz he was angry...he did it cuz he wanted to win. If he was faster than the car in front and that car doesn't move....well it sucked to be that driver didn't it!

They use to race back to the finish line in the old days!

First of all the Z06 is awesome but NASCAR engines have over 700 hp from basically a 350 block. Second the older drivers could bang more because the cars weren't so dependent on the aero packages. Now if they get too close it gets the cars loose and BAM wrecks galore. The best driver of the day won but this might be Casey Mears #42 breakout year. On to California.

Dale took out several drivers when he was pizzed at em! I think you missed some of the racing when the man was on the track, they didn't call him The Intimidator for nothing!
