Not bad coming from 2 laps down
Poor Kyle [must not laugh] running out of fuel on the last turn [screw it,I'm pissing myself laughing]

That was hilarious.All through her interview afterwards she bitched about it being Cassil's fault,yet it was her own.Then she was pissed because she was out and he was still racing.Well Danica,he didn't crash himself out.

Kenseth won,Ambrose finished 12th.Good result for Ambrose considering he smashed in the back end with 100 laps to go.

She only had herself to blame & was talking alot of BS.

His teammate did better starting in 10th.

 

[NSWCROW]

And then there were 2...
JJ wins a thrill-a-minute ( ) in Martinsville.

Brad K 6th
Hamlin had a shocker.
Marcos 24th

JJ leads Brad K by 2 points with 3 races left.

The strange things that can damage a race car

JJ won,with BK 2nd
Ambrose was having a good run with around 50 laps to go [6th] when him and Kahne side bumped each other.After that Ambrose kept dropping spots eventually to 22nd,then with 20 odd laps to go a tyre blew and he slammed into the wall.He end up 32nd.

Phoenix
Kyle B on pole
Marcos starting in 17

I love the truck races - great racing,plenty of different winners,plenty of carnage and the odd nuffy who wants to punch another drivers head in

Special K is only a semi-decent result away from wrapping up his first Sprint Cup Championship and the last for Dodge.

Interesting to see Harvick get the W today in the wake of the news this week.

Good to see Jeff Gordon remind us just what a prick he is.No wonder he goes through so many wives.
Be interestering to see if Nascar have the balls to suspend him from the final race.What he did was no different to what Kyle did last year in a Truck race on Ron Hornaday.Kyle was rubbed out for the final 2 rounds.



Ambrose finished 18th

A grade ****head that bloke, nearly ruined the championship for Brad K too and ruined any chance Bowyer had. Just a w***er.

 

[NSWCROW]

just saw it....weak as piss from JG.
Week off methinks.

Lol @ BK on his phone during the red flag.
Hope he wins it all but he well-and-truly used up all his mulligans today.

EDIT - just saw the last 2 laps...some utterly disgusting driving those last 30 laps
Poor old Danica

 

[JUBJUB]

Poor old Danica

Paul Menard can tell everyone he got up Danica's arse and got her off the ground

Gotta love the action towards the end of these races. Never understood why it is acceptable to get payback on track for being taken out. Let the stewards sort it out. Pretty much all the top drivers have done it at one time or another so complaining when it is your turn is pretty hypocritical. Having said that, it was pretty poor form from Gordon.

Fancy Newman finishing backwards and Brad weaving his way through and making up two spots despite getting smashed. Danica would have been confused as to what happened initially and would have thought Menard had just ploughed into her because he wasn't looking.

 

[NSWCROW]

aaaaaand of course the brawl gets " mainstream " coverage here
Bet they didn't even say who actually WON !!!

Just staggering they didn't throw out the caution for her crash.They throw out a caution when a backmarker spins and nobody is effected yet her car slammed the wall and dropped fluid,as you saw when Harvick slid around the final corner and Biffle did the same and that caused the crash with Newman,Menard & co

It could've ended in some nasty injuries to Menard & Patrick.

Bloody NASCAR officials, pretty much all the fans wanted to see Bowyer and Gordon get it on like Tagliani and Tracy did a few years ago in the ChampCars......

After all that, Keselowski wins it all by either finishing 15th or better, or 16th with a lap lead, or 17th with most laps lead.

In the other championships Ricky Stenhouse Junior can clinch the Nationwide with 16th or better, or 17th + a lap lead, or 18th with most laps lead. Only Elliott Sadler can catch him. James Buescher clinches the Trucks title with 7th or better, or 8th + a lap lead or 9th + most laps lead, with Timothy Peters the nearest challenger.
