Only thing that can save Nascar is Danica taking her shirt off in a wild scrum with David Reutimann and Max Papis in the Checkers Auto Parts 300.
Robby Gordon for the win!!!!!!!!!!!

Lap 3 looks identical to Lap 498. In fact, I am sure if you were never told what lap it was, you would not be able to guess what point in the race they were at.

just take the last 20 cars off the track and have the others go for about 5 laps

I hate when they just restarted for 2 laps, that's lame

Just glad the 88 didn't win...

I watched the last 39 laps or so, and it was the first I've watched in about 4 years. Safe to say it will be another 4 years before I watch again.

And I used to be a diehard Nascar fan.

They had to add the extra G/W/C chances to make sure Robby Gordon wrecked, as no race is complete until his dumb ass plows a wall... haha

It took him until the last lap, but he delivered (though it wasn't his fault for once)!

Thought I'd give NASCAR a chance today . . . . what a joke and waste of my time that was. I'm sure most races are better than that one . . . oh well.

My mistake.

I don't watch Nascar besides this race.

I just don't like how after all that race, it's just a restart to see who gets in the lead.

If you had the final 5 laps like those last two where guys can go for it and try to make an urgent move to get in the lead, it would be better.

Yet..you feel the need to keep coming back to the thread? You don't care for NASCAR. We know. I don't think anybody's feelings are hurt b/c of it. I doubt anyone really even cares for that matter. Have a good day. :)

Can't win 'em all. Had a tire going down when he was sitting in 3rd place. Nothing he could do about that. Led the 2nd most laps today. Was still a great day. Just didn't have the finish to show it.

KB1 = 1 Championship, 20 wins = first full season in 2001
Jr = 0 Championships, 18 wins = first full season in 2000

But hey..you're right..he was better this weekend I guess. :)

No one in NASCAR history has had as much pressure as Jr. You have to give him some credit there--people that discredit his talent, IMO, can't be real NASCAR fans. He's been a pretty good driver for quite a few years.

typical kurt, lead early fade late.

whoever made the call to get 4 tires while in 3rd place with 3 to go needs shot.

They said on Sirius that he had a bad vibration in his car..they thought a tire was going low. And Kurt couldn't tell which tire..so that's why they opted to change all 4.
