I'm tired of greed in major sports (NASCAR, since the other sports suck). Paul Menard was full of crap in Richmond, and the 10 in the Cup race today...was absolute bull man I'm so mad about this. Reutimann can defend all he wants, but he only would have lost 1 point to Kyle Busch and he just stayed out there for his own selfish and greedy reasons...it's really annoying. This aint racing anymore (probably hasn't been for YEARS), it's all about the Benjamins. That's the sad state of things all around I suppose, people all about a piece of paper with a dead guy on it.DSC24Duponthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00025246476464760229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24138427.post-37818173201305430062012-04-01T16:05:32.885-04:002012-04-01T16:05:32.885-04:00Just a snapshot of part of the reason Nascar is he...Just a snapshot of part of the reason Nascar is headed the way it is.

F1 has its place in the world, I'll give them that. However, that place is not Martinsville, VA. The trucks were as close as we could get to our local short tack races, and the "big time." How depressing to see so much of that luster gone. Nelson Piquet Jr. must have been having flashbacks yesterday, thinking to himself... "Hey!

Kevin should have taken the inside lane, knowing that Ty wanted to race, but alas, it was not the case. <br /><br />I also agree that 34 other drivers had a shot to move up and get pass the 3 truck, but couldn't do it, so what do you do?

But NASCAR ignored that, just like they ignored Childress taking off his watch and beating on Kyle.

Restarts, short runs, long runs, if you have the will to win, you will find a way. So I'm not sure it was only team driving that kept the others in the pack from taking the chance and making moves that could have either ended in disaster or a win. I think maybe everyone settled for position in order to acquire points for the long haul. Maybe it's time the Trucks and NNS series moved to the same point format as the Cup guys where a win has value again.Springwolfhttp://twitter.com/springwolfnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24138427.post-8575140560788364882012-03-31T21:23:05.105-04:002012-03-31T21:23:05.105-04:00Perhaps now you will have something interesting to...Perhaps now you will have something interesting to talk to Harvick's wife about this week.
