So because he's popular mostly because of his father he's overrated?

Since no responded in the other thread, I'm bringing it up here. Jr. is a bigger problem than Eury. It has to kill Eury that Jr. can't tell him anything about what the car is doing.

I have been to plenty of races and listen to jr on the scanner the whole time and he seems to always tell eury what's going on...

I concur with your statement. I have been to texas motor speedway several times.

 

[TennesseeFan07]

Rain has to be less than two minutes away.

 

[rbroyles]

Eury didn't miss two pit stalls and turn into Vickers.

Life is like a Daytona 500...

 

[Sabanocchio]

I hope we get to see this thing finish properly.

 

[Sabanocchio]

RPMS has 3 drivers in the top 10.

 

[volfanbill]

love the fact that since Earnhardt pitted on the white line and got penalized, he believes "we need to go back and review that rule".

 

[kkep48]

Rule is a rule.

 

[Sabanocchio]

Yeah. They need to change the pit box rule and just let him pit wherever he wants too.

 

[kkep48]

Well damn, that sucks.

 

[kkep48]

Congrats to Kenseth.

 

[TEX_VOLFAN]

I did not want it to end that way, but I did pick the winner! Sweet!!!

 

[Sabanocchio]

I didn't know robots could cry.

 

[possumtownVol]

I can't believe they didn't try to get the whole thing in

 

[VOLinthaNATI]

Wack.

 

[kkep48]

Any day Jack Roush celebrates is a bad day for me, but good for Kenseth.

 

[rbroyles]

If the race ends as is Arclight is looking pretty good with 4 in top 5. Some others have both Kenseth and Harvick.

What other sport names a champion based on a rain delay? This is the NASCAR "super bowl" right?

 

[rbroyles]

Well didn't get it posted before race was called. Darn.

only for magnitude of the race. It has as much impact on the season champion as all other non Chase races. Golf has cancelled many final rounds. Baseball calls games after they are official all the time.

True. But not not for a major or the World Series (typically).
