Block UserTranscript from Inside Nextel Cup on SPEED
There are plenty of people who will criticize Michael Waltrip, Greg Biffle and Ken Schrader for one thing or another.
However, all three are experienced NEXTEL Cup drivers so their collective view has to be given some weight. In fact, my thought is their views should probably be given more weight than anything the ESPN announcers have to say about much of anything. Also, what they explain does make quite a bit of sense.
In this case they all seemed to be in agreement as to exactly who was responsible for the wreck between Montoya and Harvick.
Here is the transcript from Monday's Inside NEXTEL Cup on SPEED. The panel was Michael Waltrip, Greg Biffle and Ken Schrader with Dave Despain as the moderator.
DD: So Harvick had reason to be mad, just not the reason he thought.
KS: Harvick was just in the wrong spot. But when you're going down the straightaway and your over here and all the sudden somebody is way over there, there is no reason to think anything good is going to happen down there at the end, you know.
GB: You can see that Martin started axle hopping or something happened because you can see Martin's car, you know, fishtailing in the back and then he got into the ----
MW: But the reason why they got over there was because Juan took them over there. That's road racing at it's finest. Harvick didn't know. He just knew he got wrecked and he knew that the 42 [Juan Pablo Montoya] hit him. He didn't know or he didn't really care what led up to it. He probably doesn't care today what led up to it.
DD: I think that's probably a safe assumption.
