Off-topic NASCAR arguments after Dale Earnhardt Jr.'s win

Dale Earnhardt Jr.'s second rookie-season win, in which Tony Stewart was hit, triggered arguments about Jeff Gordon, Dale Earnhardt Sr. and drivers thanking God. Several regulars asked for spoiler warnings and urged participants to take the NASCAR fan feuding elsewhere.

If Stewart had left a little more space for the cars to exit their pits (which he KNEW they were going to be doing) he wouldn't have cut off DE8 and popped his tire. It's not like he had someone on HIS right side to worry about, y'know? ~daxe
When the babies pretending to be grown-ups leave to the NASCAR/Gordon/Martin Luther King/Religion newsgroups, PLEASE let me know! That kind of nonsense is pretty damn old and outdated. At least if you're gonna fight, fight over GPL vs. NASCARx (even though THAT's old, too!), but fight over something that's on the damn topic/subject! Next thing you know, you'll see this headline in USA Today: Daytona Detonated Over Spoiler - RAS Post Alleged Cause Oh well, who the hell am I?

God gives people talent and resources and life. God didn't literally help Gordon win ANY races but he gave Gordon the ability to become a racecar driver and win. As for your other question about Alison and Kulwiki ,I dunno. No one has all the answers...hmmm where was God when Christ was killed and Martin Luther King was shot????????????? Do you think God was busy or didn't care???

Then again, who gives a crap what you think of Gordon. Just that fact you are impressed with the papa jerk Earnhardt tells me you are not too bright. I guess a year or so ago when Dale ran Terry Labonte off the track on the final turn for the win really impressed you.

DE3 didnt even try to do that if you study that clip lobontew as on new tires, and DE was on old. DE had to drive in the corner harder so he went up and up. But then he came to lobonte and said "why dont I rattle his cage? so I can win this race." I know there could have been a cleaner way of winning that race, but it was exciting to watch #3 and #5 racing again at bristol. :) Well now thats old news and how bout DE. Pretty impressive if you ask me.

Stewart *probably* could have been a little farther to the right, but the visibility out of the right-rear at the angle involved is virtually nil. That's racing pretty much covers it. (How do you think we named our team... <g>) At the rate Jr. is going, and with the backing he has, I wouldn't be surpised to see Stewart's 3 wins in a rookie season record be quite short lived.

Lewis, What are you some kind of bitter little ugly bastard? I believe I am not a minority when it comes to being a little sick of Jeff Gordon's face in victory lane, advertisements, and commercials. That little wimp will endorse anything for the right price. Christ last year, Pepsi ran two Jeff Gordon commercials in succession every hour during Nascar races. It is just like the Elian thing here in Florida. Too much coverage/exposure is bad. Besides, it looks like the 24 team's wins came more from the crew chief than the driver. We will see about this next year when Ray heads of Elliot's team. If Elliot starts winning again this will definitely confirm this theory. From just the little help Evernham is giving Elliot this year he has already looked better than he has in several years even though he hasn't won any races lately. For your information, I never saw or even knew about that incident between Jr. and Labonte so stick it up your a--! I didn't even mention anything about it. Can you read?????? One thing I can guarantee LEWIS.... is that I am much smarter than you... Oh, Have a nice day bitter boy....
