Poor kid had it.

[ursus arctos horribilis]

Wow. Poor dude learned a lesson there.

Was that Bobby Lamb driving?

How about the Coke 600, err 603, finish? Dale Jr runs out of gas in the 4th turn! Not a good day for the National Guard cars! Granted, there probably should have been a caution on the restart anyway thus he wouldn't have made it anyway.

Do you think that NASCAR wanted an Earnhardt Jr. win?

[bjtheflamesfan]

I have no doubt they want Jr. to win...theyd probably black flag the first six cards in front of him for "penalties" if he was in seventh...

Feel for the kid in the 500, but his car owner and pit boss gave the kid lots of credit and support. They seemed super proud of him.

[bjtheflamesfan]

Id be proud of him too...I mean he would have been the first American to win the 500 since 2006, the first rookie to win since 2000 and the first American rookie since 1927. He drove a heck of a race regardless, and almost won with a damaged car to boot.
