Picks/Richmond/SaturdayNight
Well I just got home. The whole time I was driving (about 30 laps into the race), Carl Edwards Ford took the lead and stayed there. This is while I was driving up I-85 towards Richmodn. Once I got off the interstate, Tony Stewart took over. I may just jump back in it and start running north on I-85 with about 100 to go and get Edwards back up front.
Or maybe since I ahve all Toyotas, borrow that neighbors Toyota Camry and start heading north, promise to leave it with a full tank of fuel.
Been a good day for my Ford.
OMG!!!!!
They just let Kyle get away with murder!!! His left rear tire was no where near in the pit box when they changed it! It wasn't even touching the line and no penalty!!! I can remember how many times Jr got busted just cause it was touching the line. Kyle was a good foot out of the box! Total BS call!!!!
Jr just botched a green flag stop too - he found himself blocked in...

WTF? Where did you get this rule book - I want one! (obviously I meant right rear, not left)
Rule I've seen enforced, wehther ti is the rule or not, is that all tires have to be in the box. The quarter fender can hang out... the bumper can hang over. but the tire has to be in the box.
The rule is 1 tire can now be out...just the right rear....
when pyles was hangout...
must be part of the new rule changes...
cause thats what i always thought also....all 4 in
i guess not now!
It all comes down to what NASCAR actually stands for, Not Administering Systematic Calls At Races.
Basically, NASCAR throws the book out and says "What is beneficial for us for making money, getting publicity, and helping keep the biggest names in this sport running up front in this race tonight?"
Where is eveyrones drivers at? Mine are 3rd, 10th, and 18th. I was 2nd, 4th, and 6th like 60 laps into the race.

I can believe some NASCAR official came on the announcers headset and told him to say its okay for the right rear tire to hang out (just to cover their asses), but that is totally a new rule to the best of my knowledge. And it makes no sense. Why would the right rear tire be allowed out?!? The tire changer was practically in the middle of pit row changing that one under green flag stops - very dangerous!
