First, I can't BELIEVE Green stole the pole from Dale Jr. like that :) Secondly, I never realized how lucky Dale Jr. is until I saw the replays of his wreck at Michigan last year. I can understand now why he said (after the season was over) it had really rung his bell and messed him up for the rest of the season. That is the most viscious wall contact I believe I've ever seen anyone walk away from. I think the Hutchins device probably saved his life that day. Finally, did anyone watch the Goody's 150? Did you catch the funny tricks the camera played on your eyes during those two spin-outs where the cars spun around and hit the wall? They spun around, and looked like they were almost stopped, then ZOOM, BAM it looked like they accellerated back to 100mph and hit the wall. I had to rewind the UTV several times to look at it again it was so weird! Larry
Their teams are all part of the RAD program with DEI.

It looked to me to be a LOT worse than his Dad's hit. I think the N/H restraint made a major difference here. Larry "Kevin King" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:K5g2a.16710$[email hidden]...

The sad part is, he'll probably finish 38th or something. Wasted pole :( Larry "Tim Miser" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]... > "Larry" <[email hidden]> wrote in message > news:D692a.26727$[email hidden]... > > First, I can't BELIEVE Green stole the pole from Dale Jr. like that :) > > No kidding!
