Nascar 2011 Season

[Jimbo]

Ambrose wrecked Vickers and Kane. Vickers then moved right up the track and blocked Ambrose from getting by him. They were just sitting on the track for a little bit because Vickers would not let Ambrose by. Vickers would back up and move forward to block Ambrose from moving.

Looks like Vickers took the Kyle Busch school of NASCAR behavior school.

watching on hotpass and he's giving the spotter hell.

What channel ?
Are they still showing commercials instead of the race ?

Never mind, I found it ....

The spotter has been bad ?

Been in one and caused another. He is not having a very good race. He is trying to fall out of the top 10.

JR has now caused 2. He doesn't even get the free pass since he caused the wreck.

I heard that ....
His season has went down so quickly, if he makes it, I don't see him doing anything.

In the first 15 races he was running soooo well, it was refreshing to see him race .... now you don't hear anything about him and his Crew Chief, the CF was the one keeping him positive and all thought this year would be better ... something happened half way thru the year and it's been downhill since.

But he did the next one, in 29th last I heard.

Perfect, up against the NFL !

 

[dfergie]

Jr just can't gain any ground ...

 

[dfergie]

Jr ran out on turn 4, still finished 3rd ... put the pedal to the metal with 3 laps left...

 

[Jimbo]

Jr. managed to finish 3rd ?, thats GREAT for him and his team, also moved him up from 10th in points to 5th Ithink I heard.
Next week will be critical for him, if he does well and is competitive, he'll continue to improve and have fun, if he goes down in flames like many other times, his Chase will be dismal.

 

[Mr Tony]

Jr finished 3rd because 5 guys ahead of him ran out of gas

Had I heard he ended 8th, I would have been happy, consdering how he had been running of late.

Fwiw, gas milage racing is unfortunately a BIG part of racing and the guys at the top have all won races on fuel milage.

Btw, I don't remember who it was, but one of the drivers said that won't happen next year when they change to fuel injectors .... well see.

I watch mostly the race, I often forget about the HP.

I find watching HP, I miss things going on elsewhere on the track.
