Watkins Glen Racing

WOW, first road race that was interesting!! liked seeing Harvick and Montoya getting into it, Gordon spinning out with 2 laps left if only Edwards would have won it would have been perfect

I was hoping Harvick was going to knock JPM on his ass. I know the accident was not JPM's fault but he has hit everybody at least once this year already and deserves a little payback.

I would have loved to see Carl spin that fat bastard around after Jeff spun out.

Have to disagree RM1...I think if JPM had not tried to throw such a block on Truex the wreck would not of happened. He forgot this is NASCAR and they have and will use their bumpers.

Wanted Carl to get around Stewart.

True, but everybody blocks and there is no way to "police" that.

I felt bad for Jeff Burton and Jamie McMurray. Kenseth did a hell of a job driving through it.

Best nascar race on a road course I have seen. JPM asked for it and it was handed to him imo. Wasnt rooting for tony but I did pick him for the fantasy yahoo stuff ..... still not sure what happened to the 26 car

I think he was hit by the spinning Harvick as he went by and flattened the left rear tire.

Was it even broadcast out your way Herbie the love bug?????

[DayZee469]

Well I really liked the honesty of Kevin Harvick after the "incident"

Announcer - "So what were you guys talking about?"
Kevin Harvick - "I was talking bout kicking his ass is what i was talking about"

[RoushMach1]

That was funny as hell that he said it.

Very surpised Harvick let JPM push him like he did.

WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?????????



I think Harvick should have known that when he got hit so hard in the turn that something else was going on behind him. That wasn't the typical getting spun out with a tap to the corner panel.

JPM put the block on and Truex spun him out long enough after the move that made me think Truex ran him over coming up to turn. Fault Truex imo.

This was going though my head all afternoon... and all I could come up with was that the person right in front of the 99 in points was the 20... I think the 99 was really really trying to give Tony a good race and ened up in the gravel pit... he is an idiot cuase it could have been not finishing the race! Thats all I could come up with!

I applaud the effort Edwards gave.

I applaud the effort the Stanford Football team gave last year too. The only problem is they finished the year 1-11. At the professional level, effort is no excuse for poor decision making and lack of execution. Plus he cost me money in a bet.

Wow ...what a reach....that analogy was quite interesting...
Carl's big mistake was that it happened to him to close to the end of the race to recover. To me 90% of the battle is the effort you make.

[RoushMach1]

To me, the effort Carl made was great. He could have played it safe but at least he has a desire to WIN, which last time I checked racing was about. You can not say that about the Stanford TEAM.

Yeah well he was probly very well aware of the fact that the cameras were zoomed in on him at that point so he made smart decision....take it to the alley

And while it didnt work out in his favor....Cheers to the 99 for giving it his all. He was in it to win it....

Go Carl!!! He still finshed in the top ten "Kitty litter" and all but what ride in that last turn for him.Also Carl still beat a spinning Jeff who was leading 3 laps ago.
Thats pretty cool for Carl to pull ahead of Jeff in the end.
