metrojoe Posted May 7, 2006 Share Posted May 7, 2006 I'm not a huge fan of the #8, but he had the car to do it. I only saw the last 80 laps or so what happened to Kenseth? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lawdog Posted May 7, 2006 Share Posted May 7, 2006 Kenseth broke a brake rotor that punctured his oil tank. Gordon broke the distributor.WIERD night.Good run for the 8 though. Thought Hamlin had him on that restart, man that KID can drive... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eyepatrol Posted May 7, 2006 Share Posted May 7, 2006 I'm not a huge Jr. fan, but I still do like the guy. Good race for Jr.! Was nice to see him back in victory lane. And, I'm sure we'll hear PLENTY from the Jr. fans. DW certainly didn't make it obvious tonight that he's an unbias fan, did he??? I never see him get as excited over a win as when Jr. wins. You'd think that Mikey won the race. Good race for Hamlin too. I think this kid will be a contender when he gets a little more experience under his belt. How about Harvick? Man, lots of people say that Gordon and Johnson are whiners, but look at this guy! He storms off and doesn't even give an interview when he finishes third! What a flippin baby! I've got no respect for that guy. Yeah, sure, he had a good car and led the most laps, but how many times does it happen where the best car throughout most of the race doesn't win? Lots. Two words....grow up! Anyway, nice race to watch. Think Gordon could have contended a bit if it had not been for his problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnMickish Posted May 7, 2006 Share Posted May 7, 2006 Jr's motor broke last week so the fix couldn't work so they gave it to him this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnMickish Posted May 7, 2006 Share Posted May 7, 2006 Just kidding, he had a good car. Would have been interesting if Biffle wouldn't have been caught that lap down. He to had a very fast car. To come back and fisnish fourth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harvey lee Posted May 7, 2006 Share Posted May 7, 2006 I just love it when Jr. has a very good race and he passes the golden boy in points.It could stay that way for the year as Gordon isnt on his game. He will have a hard time passing E's and Pettys 7 championships.Maybe he just needs Ray back as he was awesome then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnMickish Posted May 7, 2006 Share Posted May 7, 2006 7 will be a hard target for anybody nowdays, the competition is alot stiffer than it was back in the 43 and 3 era. Jr. may be ahead in points but Gordon is ahead in trophies. Which would you rather be ahead in? Just givin ya dump. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sifty Posted May 8, 2006 Share Posted May 8, 2006 It was nice to see Jr. have a good race. The 11 had a really strong race. I'm having trouble in my league two weeks ago I had jr. and he breaks the motor this week I have the 17 and he has this brake rotor deal. I don't know what way to go this week Sifty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VMS Posted May 8, 2006 Share Posted May 8, 2006 I would also agree that seeing the #8 win again was a good thing for the team. I have really noticed over this year that Jr. has finally figured out that the people who surround him are doing their best to work with him, and with last year, Jr. was the problem. He has stepped up and taken the responsibility of last year's issues (takes quite a person to admit that too...)I don't blame Harvick for being upset....he had the car to beat once biffle was down a lap. He could have done an interview, but I don't blame him for not wanting to. Sad thing is, if the 29 team pitted when everyone else did, his car would have been right on track for the run in the end... Just a risky decision to stay out for the next caution, and it caught them...Speaking of drivers, Busch really had a melt down out there... black flagged, then speeding on pit road...ouch..Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
