Default Kasey Kahne hit...

Holy crap, I have to think this wouldve been another Earnhardt without all the safety stuff they have nowadays. That looked PAINFUL.

BTW, Johnson smoked the crap outta everyone...

Yeah, without a Hans we probably would've lost another.

Oh yeah, BTW, as far as the 48:

bull****...the 48 is the luckiest MF'er I have ever seen. Blows a freaking tire and it doesnt bust apart and rip the fender?
**** if my driver Matt had that happen to him the fender would of torn all to pieces and he would finish 35. #48's luck will only last so long....count on it!!

Please allow me to quote a very respected short track racer here in the southeast:

Not just sparce,totaly empty."As Jimmy drives these last few laps you know he's thinking about that tragic day at Martinsville".No he's not Bill,he's thinking about keeping his car out of the wall.That was terrible tragedy, but how many years are they going to rub that into the ground every time a Hendrick car wins?I'm soooo glad I have tracks to go to on the weekend.Sorry had to vent.

yep had to agree...labonte blew his damn motor up and NO CAUTION...someone else today if I remember correctly also blew a tire and there was no caution. I do understand luck has a part in every sport but the 48 gets it like no other I have ever seen. I have been watching and following nascar every year for the last 30 and I am 36 so I have seen a fair amount of racing. Kinda makes you wonder if Jimmy is so good why he has not WON A CHAMPIONSHIP?? Because his luck runs out!!

He does get lucky an awful lot. He slowed way down when the tire started to come apart and thats what saved him from that. Whenever you see tires come apart most likely the driver is trying to get back to the pit too fast which would of probably happened if the caution dident allow him to slow down and not have to worry. At the end though he won it by having the fastest car and kenseth was 2 seconds behind and couldent gain anything

yep he was ahead at the end however matt got hung in traffic as jimmy went by him on the outside. Would of been interesting to see Matt out in front of clean air at the end. Jimmy is a good driver and has a good team however I just feel he has a little to much luck but I may be wrong.

No ****! Jimmie (loves Jeff Gordon's) Johnson is NASCAR's poster boy. How many times (2 that I know of this year) have there been a wreck on the final lap and a caution DID come out......but nooooo, not if JJ is leading, Kenseth may have been able to pass him, so let's not chance him losing this race by throwing a caution on the final lap!!!!! BS!!!!!!!

and Jeff Gordon, running 3 seconds off the pace? I never saw/heard him getting a black flag.....but oh wait, there was a "debris" caution so he wouldn't lose too many laps!!!!!

And that was one hard *** hit Kasey Kahne took.


I gotta say though, did anyone see when JJ was doing his victory lap and he dropped the flag on the backstretch!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

yea that was funny when he dropped the flag..the fans were throwing **** at him as well you could see the track workers walking his was as the **** was flying at him. That I dont agree with however; people should not throw **** on the track.

Actually it did...................after Jimmie crossed the finish line!

I know for a fact that it happened earlier in the year, exact same scenario. Wreck on the back stretch of the White Flag lap, and a caution DID come out! But that race JJ or JG weren't winning...................But, dammit I can't remember which race it was!!!
