Deb, it’s been rehashed here on this site time and time again throughout the week, but again, I don’t think it’s just that Kyle spun Earnhardt, it’s just that Kyle has a certain lack of patience that’s required in NASCAR.

I think, everybody should accept it positively, because this kind of thing happens in racing pretty regularly and it is a part of the game. Moreover, drivers should also drive with honesty and remember that winning a race is nothing all in one’s career. For winning a race, one should have the morale, skill and talent.

When I first read Newman’s comments, I was actually pretty surprised to see him take his opinions public, with Kyle being his teammate’s brother and all.

Is it just me, or does Newman seem particularly blunt and outspoken this year?

It is most likely that Busch did get loose going into the turn, but the Junior Nation is not going to allow that excuse. I, for one, believe it was intentional, though not necessarily targeted at Dale Jr. Busch is still a young, gung ho, driver that will wreck someone to get a win. It doesn’t matter if it was Dale Jr. or Carl Edwards, or even his own brother.

I just hope there isn’t a third Busch brother waiting to foreshadow the first two. Two jerks from one family should be the limit.

Newman’s got it right.
I can’t get over the “pundits” that can’t tell the difference between “just hard racing” and a total disregard for the laws of physics.
It doesn’t take talent to sail a car into a turn too fast to have a chance of making the corner, any boob with a fast car could have done that… …the shrub simply lost it and used Junior as a berm.
