Talladega: UAW-Ford 500/John Deere 250/Food World 250 (Spoilers) - Page 2

I guess Vickers isn't even allowed into the Hendrick team meetings anymore. So maybe this is just his revenge. At least he sort of dedicated the win to Ricky Hendrick so maybe he won't get killed by Earnhardt or Johnson fans...

The unofficial top 10 in points is:

After: UAW-Ford 500
Rank Driver Behind
1. -- Jeff Burton Leader
2. +2 Matt Kenseth -6
3. -- Mark Martin -14
4. +1 Kevin Harvick -33
5. -3 Denny Hamlin -57
6. +1 Dale Earnhardt Jr. -100
7. -1 Jeff Gordon -147
8. -- Jimmie Johnson -150
9. +1 Kasey Kahne -185
10. -1 Kyle Busch -185

I'd say everyone from 7th back is effectively out of the running unless the guys ahead have bad luck and they have excellent luck.

The points are getting tight. I wouldn't count Gordon and Johnson out quite yet. Johnson runs good at Lowes and anything can happen. Things change pretty fast.

What a punk! Who does he think he is eh? Can't wait to watch the race tonight. Should I buy beer just to throw at the tv when it happens?

Drink the beer.....throw the can.

Doc Hollywood · 9 Oct 2006, 10:42 (Ref:1732780)

Its definitley a 'throw something at the TV' moment when it happens. Felt v sorry for the 8 and the 48.

Steve Tarrant · 9 Oct 2006, 11:29 (Ref:1732835)

Given he's already confirmed as out of the drive for 2007, doesn't attend Hendrick team briefings now, and caused an unneccessary accident involving another teammate, will he even last through to next weekend's race?

You could hear the crowds reaction from the TV speakers!!!!!!

Knowlesy · 9 Oct 2006, 11:48 (Ref:1732864)

I am still in a rage that Earnhardt was busted like that. What a twonk Brian Vickers is.

I am calm!

kingfloopy · 9 Oct 2006, 12:43 (Ref:1732918)

I don't think he did it on purpose. It was a pretty stupid mistake, but it was just as likely if he did on purpose he would take himself out too. I think he really wanted to win it just to prove he can and to kind of rub it in that he was leaving and to try to get the win for Ricky Hendrick. They were pretty close despite him deciding to leave the team after this year. I don't think Hendrick will get rid of him next week. But if everything falls right I could see him leaving before the end of the season and Mears coming over to replace him and Montoya taking over the #42. But that's pretty much my conjecture, but it doesn't seem like too far of a stretch.

Earnhardt has stated that he didn't think it was deliberate, but he still thinks he's a twonk.

Johnson however thinks he is a stupid mother ****er.

5 Laps to go."Bryan Vickers wants his first win..."

Hazza · 9 Oct 2006, 13:41 (Ref:1732981)

With three laps left, Earnhardt has a car length lead...

Hazza · 9 Oct 2006, 13:42 (Ref:1732983)

Johnson has a run, but it's not enough.

Two to go....Earnhardt has a very handy lead. Crowd going ape****.

Hazza · 9 Oct 2006, 13:42 (Ref:1732984)

Johnson looking threatening. Waiting for the last minute...

Hazza · 9 Oct 2006, 13:43 (Ref:1732985)

Oooh You Mother ****er!

Mother ****er!

Hazza · 9 Oct 2006, 13:46 (Ref:1732989)

Goddamn. That is a stupid boneheaded move.

I thought that in a situation like this they'd call the Eight car the winner. What timing loop did they go back to? I mean, at all stages on the Lap Earnhardt was leading.

Vickers doing donuts. What a goddamn Gabor Talmasci he is eh? (Knowlsey knows what I mean...)

Hazza · 9 Oct 2006, 13:47 (Ref:1732990)

Goddamn. GODDAMN.

I can't keep Knowlesy's cool calm composure.

GODDAMN

Hazza · 9 Oct 2006, 13:50 (Ref:1732997)

Earnhardt: I'm not to unhappy, Sometimes you come out on the good end of theese deals...

*cough cough*Michigan*cough cough*

Knowlesy · 9 Oct 2006, 20:27 (Ref:1733359)

Also loved Vickers' donuts. Very appropriate. Not.

muggle not · 9 Oct 2006, 23:28 (Ref:1733480)

The really sad thing is dum-dum Vickers hurt Jr and Johnson significantly in the points.

Hazza · 10 Oct 2006, 10:53 (Ref:1733867)

Yeah, Dale would have been 27 points behind iirc.

Now I see it as a race between Kenseth, Harvick, Burton, and Martin.

StuiE · 10 Oct 2006, 12:04 (Ref:1733955)

Well I thought it was kinda exciting :P

clearly an accident, looked like he went to bump draft Jimmie some more but Jimmie was still on a different angle, so it turned him around..

I little ironic as in the spring race Vickers deserved to win, but helped Jimmie to win instead..

oh oh, and he gets extra security at the next race

Was good to see there wasn't too many cautions too, pretty good race really, Jr deserved to win, but it didn't look like he was going to anyway, he seemed pretty calm after the race, Jimmie seemed more ****ed off at Brian

botsquad · 10 Oct 2006, 22:16 (Ref:1734567)

jbm had me ready to quit calling it neckcar.

premature call.

vickers is getting death threats for tagging the 48 car

attn neckcar fans: if neckcar wants to run a chase race at dega,
one or more of the chasers is going wreck.
