End Of A NASCAR Era

[Ron61]

David,

I was kind of disappointed in him that he tried to blame it on the other driver. One thing is obvious, he will never be anything near what his Father was so far as a driver. He screwed up all day and NASCAR did everything they could to help him out. The least he could have did was admit in the interview that he was frustrated and was to blame for what anyone who saw the race knew was just a blatant attempt to knock the other car out of his way. I think NASCAR has a long and somewhat sorry season ahead of them.

Jr Wants Rule Evaluated,

Jr, now claiming that his tire being on the white line should not have been a penalty. It has been that way for years so why should it be changed because he can't park in the Pit Box? He did most of the screwing up on pit road and the track but he sure wants to blame everyone else.

Ron;

While I don't root for Jr. on sunday, I certainly don't hate him either.....

He screwed up and needs to admit it and take it like a man, if not, the other drivers like Burton/Busch brothers will see he gets whats coming to him!!!!!!!!

He's starting to sound like a cry baby about the rules, he was on/over the line, no question, he got penalized, also, watching the replay of the wreck, it certainly looked to me like an intentional hit he put on Vickers.....It's not like Jr. NEVER blocked anyone himself......

And as far as Darrell Waltrip, well, he needs to be ***** slapped badly.....it's so obvouis in his comentary that he's the president of the Jr. fan club that it's beyound funny now, really annoying the way he takes up for and roots for Jr. every chance he gets.....

And NASCAR wonders why the rating are falling and they have empty seats.......the last race I went to, Davey Allison was still alive and racing and it was exciting in those days...... Now many sundays, I'm in my shop working on my junk heaps, like I'll probably be doing this coming sunday!!!!!!!!!!!!!

David,

I don't hate any of the drivers, I just don't like some of them much. And the way they throw those phony caution flags to help their stars if they get a lap down is really disgusting to me.As I said, if there is a road race on that I can watch I will watch it and not NASCASR. Jr will never be the driver his Father was and that is not surprising. I would hate to be the son of any really top sports figure and try to follow in my Father's footsteps. Look at Kyle Petty. He never got close to doing what Richard did. And NASCAR not penalizing Jr. was about the last straw as they penalized the driver the day before for 5 laps and the wreck he caused wasn't even close to what Jr. did.

Don,

You know the NASCAR stars are never to blame for anything. The other cars should have pulled over and let them past. He probably voted for Obama too.

" Fox says its broadcast of Sunday’s rain-shortened Daytona 500 NASCAR Sprint Cup race at Daytona International Speedway earned a Nielsen Media Research fast national rating of 9.2 and a 19 household share.

The rating was down 9.8 percent from last year’s 10.2/20.

Fox said the rating for this year was hurt by the cancellation of the race’s final 48 laps because of rain during “what are historically its most-watched laps” but still averaged 16.0 million viewers.

The network says the race drew more people than the 15.4 million viewers for the NCAA Final Four, 15.2 million for the Beijing Olympics, 14.9 million for the National Basketball Association Finals, the 14.2 million for the Kentucky Derby, the 13.1 million for the final round of The Masters golf tournament and 7.2 million for last year’s Indianapolis 500.
