NASCAR - Dover - Monster Mile

NASCAR - Dover - AAA 400 - The Monster Mile wasn't much of a monster today... Only debris cautions. Dale Earnhardt Jr. had by far the fastest car out there. Pretty much knew Jimmie Johnson was going to be the winner and of course lead more than 190 laps, after all those records that are always talked about before and during the race must be broken. Personally I believe Rick Hendricks told Jr. to back off. You must listened to the boss. Jimmie's gotta get that record. I love NASCAR racing but really am starting to think races are fixed. Manipulating the outcome of the race, what a joke. Too many "coincidences" happening.

Congratulations Jimmie Johnson!!!

NASCAR - Friday the 13th

NASCAR - Friday the 13th - Lucky 13 - Jeff Gordon is the 13th driver in the Chase this year, because NASCAR decided to change the rules. Just goes to prove you whine enough about how you were cheated out of a spot, you get to be in the Chase. If Gordon's pit crew hadn't screwed up and failed to tighten the lugs, he wouldn't of had to pit for a loose wheel and would have finished higher and made the Chase.
There should be a place for the current champion in the Chase every year, no matter what he does during the year or where he finishes in the points. Being the Champion should come with special privileges.  So I think Brad Keslowski should be in it also!!!

YOU BLEW IT NASCAR!!! You either decide if Lagano was manipulating also and fine him 50 points and Gordon gets the 10th position or you decide it was inconclusive and Lagano gets the 10th position!!! No 13th position because, maybe sorta Jeff Gordon got cheated, he is in the top 10 or he isn't, black and white, night and day, how much more simple can it get.
But as always NASCAR, just invents the rules as they come up... Not what the fans want NASCAR!!!
(unless you are a Jeff Gordon fan of course)
NASCAR fans are passionate about their sport, but the rules are getting ridiculous, to the point you can't even keep up with them any more...
LET THEM RACE...........
