If it weren't for bad luck Jeff Gordon would have no luck.

This is true, lol

PS: No hard feelings on the Facebook discussion... my fiance and I just had this exact discussion during the race, and you were just the first person to bring it up, lol.

Yeah, both were spontaneous and random. Really think each of them could have had top 5s at worst.

Nope. No hard feelings at all. I learned something. Nothing wrong with that. :thumbup:

It's really dumb, and like I said is new with the latest TV contract that you have to "pay up" for that. I'm absolutely amazed that the NRA didn't... I mean they could have raised those funds in an hour had they asked their membership.

The early (FOX) half of the schedule tends to have a lot of sponsors pay it. But the ESPN half is usually devoid of sponsors. It's like the Brickyard, Homestead, and no one else pays.

Keselowski's wallet is going to be a little lighter this week. Lol

Duse has completely taken off the filter this year, and I love it.

He was outspoken to begin with, but good lord he just talks without thinking with his shiny new title, lol

That was pretty funny. Chad Knaus amongst many others are probably loling at those statements.

It's all hard feelings for me cause I'm an ass. Kidding. I didn't know about that fact until tonight during the race.

Nice seeing Kyle winning. I was hoping that Kurt would have done better. Really liking him a lot more lately due to his charitable work with Vets.

As far as Kes, he might get fined. As we know NASCAR will fine you even though it's the truth. (Example: Denny's comments earlier this season)

A fan died of a "self inflicted injury" following a verbal argument in the infield at the race. Not saying anymore yet.

If someone shot themselves at the NRA 500, that'll end up starting a shitstorm (right or wrong, regardless of opinion, it will).

Yea, Tony or Kyle never ever ever speak their mind. Everyone but Keselowski is exactly like Kahne, Gordon and Jimmie.

Tony bitches about other drivers, rarely will he speak out against NASCAR anymore. Kyle has toned down a lot as well. It's been quite a while since anyone has taken the gloves off against NASCAR and stopped worried about being fined or docked points because of what they say.

Kenseth for the win!!! From the pole! Souks start for him, glad he switched to JGR. Although the finishes don't show it, he's had a solid car all year, just been collected into some wrecks.

Cpl. Tracey Knight has said alcohol may have been a factor.

Never saw that coming. So awesome the race was sponsored by the NRA. :laugh:

Skycam cable snaps over the track, Kyle Bucsh's passenger side looks like it was opened up with a can opener by hitting it.

Yeah, he was able to get it patched up well in the time that was given
