  • BOTL UPCOMING MAINTENANCE

    Hi Everyone, as mentioned in my introduction post, BOTL needs quite a bit of updating, patching and whatever else I might come across. Over the next few weekends BOTL may be unreachable on occasion as I do migrations or updates, etc. Just be patient - we'll be back! I'll generally try to keep these maintenances until later in the evenings.

That one could of been a lot worse. I'm not a Kyle fan, but he just cannot catch a break lately.

Gonna be interesting to see where all the guys end up after Nascar gives the official results.

they had to wait until gordon was in front to throw the caution. Seems like the last races were setups for the whole earnhardt record shit..
Is your last name Stewart??

Gordon raced his ass off to get into the lead, were you even watching the race? He was even in the lead when the crash started :wtf:

he was in second when the smoke started and they never waved the flag for several seconds after. Even the announcers kept saying,no yellow yet, no yellow yet, there it comes...And no, I hate stewart...but the obvious is the obvious..

No way, Gordon had the low line and was ahead before the first crash, then at the restart, then the last crash Gordon was leading there too.

I think NASCAR changed finishing places several times already. With accurate GPS and all the cameras they have, surprised not official right away. I guess with that last crash made things linda messy. Stewart lost a lot of ground for sure with that last wreck. Boy has he been snake bitten most of this year, starting with Daytona in week one.

And by the way, is your name Gordon?
Last week, Stewart was quoted as saying that the race officials were controlling the race by using bogus caution flags.

Which sounded a little bit familiar to this quote:

I still have the same amount of points from when I checked yesterday.

just thinking it's funny how when a engine blows the caution flies, bit yesterday they waited half a lap. And yes gordon was comming up fast but so was Jr and a few others. I think they waited on purpose and thats my opinion. It never mattered to me cause I had 48 as my pick, but their getting a little predictable on some calls.

Same thing happened with Harvick at Datona this year. Just shrug it off and move on is all you can do :dunno:

Wasn't too exciting. Especially when Denny took the lead and they all went single file because of fuel worries.
