Anyone else watching the race?

I was waiting for that to start. Vickers didn't need to push him out like that, and even though I can't deny he screwed the pooch, I don't think it was intentional. He really isn't the type to risk being penalized when he is trying to salvage a lousy day. And they were all over him about it! I doubt we'll ever see the day DW has anything good to say about Jr. He is having a terrible race and needs to just get it behind him.
 
IF so, opinions on that asinine song by Keith Urban about that stupid gopher. For that matter, did anyone really find that digger all that endearing. Loved the camera angles, but the animated gopher bit has now officially gone to far IMO. Any thoughts or am I the only backwards hillbilly unsophisticated and ignorant enough to watch cars go in cirlces for three hours every week? :)

the gopher makes it harder for me to fall asleep though lol

There was no reason for that black, Jr was a lap down. He really should have just let him go.
 
Kenseth for the win! Nice job. Kenseth is a cheese head so he's one I always want to do good. Like they said on the show, it's not how many laps you lead, it's if you lead the last one. It's all luck for sure when the weather is moving in. All in all, I enjoyed the race. I'd have liked to see it play out of course but Kevin Harvick took a second so it's not so bad. Did Jr spin Vickers? Yes. It's hard for Jr Nation to admit it but they're man clipped him. On purpose? I don't think so. Now if it was the old man? Best not to talk about the deceased like that. ;) Fun race either way.
 
It's obvious that FOX is gonna push this digger crap for every penny they can muster. Plush toys and comic books for the kids??? Good grief....enough already.

Too bad Jr. had to ruin a good race. The rules clearly state the procedure for entering back onto the track after going below the double yellow line....but the moron Jr. didn't care cause he's havin a bad day after screwing up twice in the pits....and not to mention, twice more in the previous week. Even the rookies don't make that many mistakes in the pits.

Of course Nascar won't penalize the great Jr. After all...he's the poster boy for Nascar.

Nascar should grow a set of jewels...and treat everyone the same.

Cheers,
