There's a crowd of people with some soiled underwear where Edwards launched into the fence.

Man he wasn't far from launching into that crowd. Did you see Edward's in car camera of that crash?
That was crazy!

They need to put that replay on loop. That was incredible.

The lat 2 wrecks....I don't know if anyone caught this but....
Jimmy Johnson said "Talledega sucks"
Carl Edwards - "We'll keep racing like this until we kill someone and then NASCAR will change the rules."
Seems like some unhappy drivers about the RP racing......

Yea I caught Johnson's comment. It puts money in the NASCAR bank, that's all they care about.

Evidently they had some injuries in the crowd...people in the front row had to have been sprayed with hot oil, transmission and radiator fluid as the front of the #99 car exploded on the fence. Hope everyone is OK. ![](http://img126.imageshack.us/img126/4171/174095.jpg)

I fucking HATE restrictor plate racing!!!!!
Both weeks I have points in the 300s in the fantasy league were at restrictor plate tracks. It just doesn't matter how good the driver, or how good the car. It is simply a crap shoot about who is the luckiest.
I'd have to go do the math, but I think that if we took out those two races, I might be in the lead.....

I watched the whole race, you just knew after lap 7 this was going to be an interesting day. I saw at times they were 5 wide. crazy shit. I really thought junior was going to pull up in front of edwards there.

I was sitting there watching Carl Edwards come charging up, and Jr not making a move to get past Newman, and I just KNEW he wouldn't go up. I sat here and told my wife, "remember this moment right here. THIS is the end of Jr as a competitive racer."
He has shown that he has lost the edge, and he is now out there turning laps and collecting a check.

As for the subject of the thread, I was very impressed with Carl after the race. He took it on himself and was GLAD that Brad did what he did.
"He did what he was supposed to do. That's what we race for."
I like that.

I dont think it is the end of jr. He probably didnt want to get hung out to dry if he made the wrong move. I guess we will not know, I want to see if he can run this good next weekend as well.

So he gets hung out to dry.....he gets 4th either way! He got lucky to get 2nd, and honestly, he hasn't won a race on performance in over 2 years. I am a huge Jr fan myself, but this was a dagger in my heart to see him 'settle' and not try to get the push from Edwards.

Jr in 2001 would have dove right in front of Edwards and MADE HIM slam his rear bumper FTW.
The new Jr is soft, and has no killer instinct. Eury Jr has finally dragged him into the pit of mediocrity.

Let's pray none of the spectators was seriously injured.

I have been thinking that for quite some time, he needs a new crew chief and to hell with the loyalty to his cousin.

I have stated my opinion on Eury Jr a few times, so I'm sure you know by now.
He needs to be transferred to car chief, and let someone else come in to be crew chief. Eury Jr, can set the car up according to what Knaus tells him, and someone else can make the adjustments without fucking it up.

I got a feeling Rick Hendrick will do something by mid season if he doesnt win. At least they ran a race without fuckin up in the pits, THAT is an improvment, and much better results.
