Question by Clint L Troll Eliminator: Even the Sports Illustrated guys saw what happened why can’t BugHeadNation?

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (AP) Kyle Busch was “100 percent” certain he had a car good enough to win the Daytona 500.

Dale Earnhardt Jr. made sure Busch never got the chance.

Busch was caught up in a massive wreck triggered by Earnhardt with 75 laps remaining at Daytona International Speedway on Sunday, smashing the front of his No. 18 Toyota and ending a weekend of frustration.

Earnhardt was a lap down when he tried to pass Brian Vickers along the backstretch following a restart. Vickers responded by going low to block Earnhardt, sending him down below the yellow out-of-bounds line.

When Earnhardt re-entered the racing surface, he clipped the corner of Vickers’ car to start a chain reaction that took out nine cars, including the red-hot Busch. The 23-year-old led a race-high 88 laps and seemed to have one of the strongest cars in the 43-car field.

Answer by Winter Glory
They’re just trying to add fuel to the now fizzling Jr./KB rivalry.

That’s what NA$CAR wants.

Dealers offset Toyota shortage
Gib Dannehower, the co-owner and managing partner of Daytona Toyota, said his dealership is fully stocked with new vehicles for now, despite Toyota Motor Corp.’s announcement that global production of its cars likely won’t return to normal levels until November or December.

    They should just let the guys fight, why not? In the old days of racing that what they did I was watching previews and guys were hammering each other with helmets and punching. People are obsessed with the wreck that happened at Daytona and all you can really do is sit there and complain about it. I’m not so impressed with how they just stopped the race and made Matt the winner. Kevin Harvick could have easily taken they lead away.

  2. ~Steffy~ Misses our Prez! Tom G. says:

    I agree Winter, gotta be rivalry or NASCAR isn’t happy. But I think Junior vs. Vickers may be fun too. I read that after Vicker’s was spouting off (yes, I understand things get said out of anger) about Junior’s move and Junior even got on the radio and said, “Tell Vickers if he wants to meet me in the garage and get his azz beat, I’d be willing.” “Message delivered,” crew chief Tony Eury Jr. responded.

    I thought it was pretty funny. Junior had a bad day but I still luv ‘em!

    I worry about jr’s mental stability-his ability to address reporters questions, in a lucid,communicative way, has noticeably deteriorated over the past 2 seasons. His latest responses,to reporter inquiries;pre-race and after; coupled with his ‘during race’ rookie mistakes, leads me to believe that there is a serious medical problem that he is hiding from DEI & junior nation fans. I suspect a neural condition that slowly strips him of lucid thought. Between the ‘leaded gas’ and ‘carbon monoxide’ poisoning;he has endured since birth; I suspect he is in a downward spiral of mental health. He may see now that he is just mortal-subject to mortal conditions.

    jr. is a baby when things are not going his way. maybe he needs to get off the breast milk and be a man.

  5. eyesinthedrk says:

    i disagree, i blame vickers for the move, it was too late and bled off too much speed, the only way to see it was by the overhead view, a block means you pull over in front of the guy not into him dale jr was on the breaks as he tried to get back into the racing groove but vickers had lost too much speed himself, Jr’s only option would have been to let the entire field pass or follow the apron into the corner, vickers should have either moved over sooner or let him go

    i am far from a dale jr fan, but i got to call it like i see it,

  6. Dr. Strangelove says:

    NA$CAR needs the controversy to sell tickets for the next race.

    Your username is the exact opposite of what you are being: Troll Eliminator.

    Go troll about someone else’s driver. I’m sick of hearing about Jr and the crash he caused.

  8. V. town lee says:

    After 25 years of being a Na$car fan, it looks like their starting “09″ just as they left off last year! I wonder how many people they ran off yesterday?
