Wow what a change in points. The wreck moved alot of guys around in the top 12. Ok nobody fell out of the top 12 but here are the changes. Edwards up 2 spots. Biffle up 6 spots wow. Gordon up 4 spots wow. johnson up 2 spots. Bowyer down 3 ouch. Hamlin down 5 ouch. Harvick down 3. Stewart down 3. Kahne stayed in 12th within 27 points of 11th Only 8 points ahead of Ragan.
So whos fault was the wreck? I see a few are blaming David Gilliland. Well that is wrong. How do I know? Well if you got to listen to the race. When they played Sadlers chat between him and his spotter you here from the spotter as they were coming out of two, "Clear low, Clear low" At that time David was under Sadlers car. That is what caused the wreck.
Now about the drivers into the pile up. Alot of fingers pointed at Hamlin for getting in the back of Jr. Ahh. shucks. The track is called self cleaning. The cars slide to the inside most the time. Since there was a pile up, they didnt move as fast. Hamlin should have been on the brakes. Yet so should have Paul Menard. Yet Paul just brushed the inside wall and made it through. He was going harder than Hamlin. Halin just didnt get to the brakes as fast as JR. It was a racing accident.
That early in the race the fast guys in the back wanted to get to the front. They saw a chance to past a bunch early. So stop passing the buck on Hamlin. Also On David Gilliland. The wreck in turn two happend because it is tight there. So Jr. Nation will have to go another week without a victory.
Dover bit some, rewarded others. It was a race of action and green flag runs. It didnt come to fuel milage. And if you still think the Yodas have an advantage look at Rouch. They were faster. Busch had great pitstops all day. Dont take away what Rousch did with 3 cars finishing 2nd 3rd and 4th.
Non for ELDORA.. We will be there. But maybe a change of schedule for Noah and I. We will be at the Prelude, but we might head back and catch the World of Outlaws at Knoxville over the weekend. That is going to be on speed. So watch for my little flagman...He is everywere.
Hey I wanna know who thinks Noah and I should stay in Eldora for the Dream. Or come back for the weekend and head to Knoxville Iowa for the world of outlaws? Let us know.
Noahspop- Good post, I agree with you it was Sadler's spotter that screwed that one up, not Gilly. However, I think you are being a bit kind to Denny. Menard wasnt coming thru there nearly as hot as Denny was and even though the track is supposed to be self cleaning, you still gotta hit the brakes.
I have no idea how to pick between Eldora or WOO...either way we will look for Noah at every flagstand we can! HAVE FUN!!!
Hey Klvalus I agree Hamil was hot. Spotter should have been yelling break and go high. Also I watched replay again today, Bobby Labonte really was the car that got into the back of Jr.
Thanks for the comment
Well I am a Father of an awsome 9 yearold junior flaggman. Together we are the biggest racefans. We have an awsome diecast collection and love to get to any races we can. I became a fan with my mother, and now my son with me. I work full time as a machinist, and father. This will be something new and enjoyable, I will also get my sons view and let you no that as well. Well now about the teams and drivers we like. I am a Hendrick fan #24 preferably, and Noah my son Roush and the #17. So last spring was fun when we went to Bristol.
