This may start some controversy.
Everyone has an opinion, let's talk about it.

RaceFanStan · 21 Oct 2002, 02:06 (Ref:408977)

jeff gordon's hopes took a big hit !!!

RaceFanStan · 21 Oct 2002, 02:08 (Ref:408978)

Dale Jr is back !!!

Joe Fan · 21 Oct 2002, 02:34 (Ref:408986)

I am curious as to know how Hideo managed to make the field on a provisional. I thought the team had used its last at Dover and if all teams have used up their provisionals, the remaining field then is comprised of the fastest qualifiers. Hideo only qualified faster than two drivers and would not have made it if his team ran out of provisionals.

The best Martinsville has been in a long time !!!
Grinding the track made the 2nd groove "work" !!!

RaceFanStan · 21 Oct 2002, 02:37 (Ref:408989)

Good point Joe Fan,
It appears that NASCAR will bend their rules to suit their own desires !!!

Dumb Butt award. Shouldn't that go to NASCAR for letting him in? Nothing to do with Nationalities or race. Pure lack of experience. If NASCAR want to open their racing series up to different countries-FINE. But shouldn't they make them start in the lower series?????

Big Loser Award. Jeffie Whined about the track the loudest. I guess he felt he had to PROVE that it was bad by causing 2 wrecks. I giggled when he got put into the wall.

Thumbs up. Jr was rocking. Daddy would have been proud.

Biggest Surprise. It was a good race. More stories than just the red hot breaks. I enjoyed it completely.

I didn't see anything funny about that reckless move by Jeff Burton doing a slide job & not leaving enough room to clear the #24!Jeff Gordon was fairly strong early on & with some right adjustments along the way,that might very well have been a great race,but alas it was not meant to be!Then I thought well maybe Johnny Benson would maybe get His 1st WC win in like(not sure)265 starts,but no Kurt had to win His 2nd race of the season instead!
I guess no1 noticed the close up shots of those grooves in the lower lane?It didn't look like a great racing surface to Me,JMO!

Roselady3 · 21 Oct 2002, 03:43 (Ref:409007)

I think that Jeffie put himself out of contention when he rammed two other drivers. BEFORE he got shot into the wall.

Payback is a ....... well you know.

Well- I personally thought that the new surface made for a good race. 2 grooves all the way around- I thought it was an improvement.

Dick Blom · 21 Oct 2002, 15:49 (Ref:409327)

Apparently Jeff Burton really had some kind of problem, he was wrecking people on Saturday in Happy Hour. At least when JG got into someone he backed off and let them recover, so you know, no harm no foul * G *.

muggle not · 21 Oct 2002, 16:36 (Ref:409391)

I thought that Benson was going to catch (overtake) KB. It sure would have been nice to see Johnny win one.

RaceFanStan · 21 Oct 2002, 17:30 (Ref:409427)

I was pulling for Benson myself, I wish he could have done it !

..... but I will .....
Sterling Marlin was injured when he hit the wall head-on at Kansas,
thanks to contact from ..... Jeff Burton !!!
I think that Jeff Burton is trying too hard,
I know that he is frustrated but gee whiz !!!
Jeff Burton needs to think about his fellow drivers and their welfare and look more closely at his driving style, he is beginning to remind me of the reckless Jimmy Spencer of old !!!
We have lost too many drivers and have had enough of them injured, Jeff Burton used to be a "good guy" but now .....

Lars · 21 Oct 2002, 23:21 (Ref:409784)

I think you guys might be blaming the wrong Burton brother. After watching re-plays, the view from the front of the cars looked like Ward got into the back of Jeff Burton & JB had all he could do to keep it under control. JMO & Jeff G. happened to be in the wrong place...not that I mind...hehehe. Jeff G. was the only one whining about the track & was obviously PO'd about it. He was running rough shot over everybody that was in his way & he wasn't backing off, the proof being he spun out the #18 & #97. Dale Jr. was running rough shot too, but the big difference being that he never spun anyone out.

Roselady3 · 22 Oct 2002, 01:22 (Ref:409841)

I wanted Johnny to get his first win also. But he doesn't have the-----to do what it would take to get the leader. He's too much of a nice guy.

& Dick- Jeffie backed off just enough not to get involved in his own messmaking. It just kept HIM from wrecking. But then he got it later....didn't he.

VERY FUNNY ROSE BUTT, WE STILL HAVE OUR LITTLE SARCASTIC REMARKS , JEFF BURTON NEEDS TO STAY IN THE BUSCH SRIES, THAT WAY HE CAN'T SCREW OTHER DRIVERS UP. WHOS YOUR DRIVER TONY THE TEMPER, OR SOME OTHER CRY BABY, ALL THESE GUYS COMPLAIN SOMTIMES, SO CHILL, AND AS FOR
"RAMMING" AS YOU SAY , EVERYONE ONE WAS DOING ALITTLE RAMMING, THATS PART OF RACING. BHI

Dick Blom · 22 Oct 2002, 15:16 (Ref:410234)

Actualy Rose I'm sure most of the other drivers would have liked to have been spun by Jeffie, the one's he did spin won the race and finished 12th, so what is to complain about?

The only little sarcastic remarks I see are coming out of the place on your face I'd like to stick my size 12 shoe in.

Roselady3 · 23 Oct 2002, 01:23 (Ref:410826)

Rose Butt????
Yes I am the queen of sarcastic remarks- But at least I am not rude! I am the queen of CHILL

I don't get to tease the Jeffie fans about Jeffie mistakes very often----- Gheesh!

BTW- turn off the dang Caps lock.

Lars · 23 Oct 2002, 02:58 (Ref:410859)

Don't worry about M69...he's just a chump. He can come in here and blast any driver he sees fit, but gets all pi$$y if you say one negative thing about Jeffie. Boohoo, not everybody thinks Gordon is the best ever to strap on the helment.

Roselady3 · 23 Oct 2002, 03:37 (Ref:410877)

Well- he is good (don't fall over- ya'all) But they all are good. These are facts dude. Just pointing them out. (& that don't mean that I like him)

Not every1 can have great taste,LMAO!!!

RaceFanStan · 23 Oct 2002, 20:13 (Ref:411595)

That is obvious from all the gordon fans, LMAO.

Irene · 24 Oct 2002, 03:20 (Ref:411837)

Seems like I missed a great race!

I am really getting good at that...I catch the boring ones and miss the good ones. Okay I think we need a recap thread for me since I seem to stay busy at work anymore! LMAO!
