Kyle was an asshole at first there, but then answered the question honestly once Yocum (I think) pushed him.

Old tires, then side-by-side and losing the air kind of drove him down a little causing a wreck. Kudos to the TNT pit reporter to get him to talk it out instead of being his usual prick self.

SHIT !! I was at pit exit the first 60 laps, then turn 1 & 2 until Stremme wrecked. I left and was home in time to see the big one. I'll bet it was spectacular in 3-D haha.

I am beat, skipped the Rolex race today because of the rain, and Darius Rucker sucks outloud. Jr's car sucks, he said it was rattling his eyes like the splitter was bottoming out everywhere. This wreck shows how much of a lottery this track is to win.

Kyle is always an asshole. Matt Yocum is from Daytona, Seabreeze High School, same as Alan Gustafson, and the Allman Brothers.

A wreck on the final turn before the race would have been official? Well, I'd have never guessed!

Forced drama. Every restrictor plate race has had this.

Good thing it was a 400 mile race and not 500. I'd rather go to the King's Royal than last night's bullshit. Nothing could have followed Friday's drama, but the 400 just sucked. Can't wait to see what a new track will bring. I went to the first few new ones at Talladega and it is nice, except the track is gouged up by trailer hitches at the turn 3 crossover.

here is one way...

I also picked up a card with some ways to win, there will be a sweepstakes July 25 - Sept. 12
also picked up a pack of 3" round stickers that look like the tire but in the wheel it says 'Help Support Our Troops! visit Goodyear.com'. I can send you a few dozen if you want.
