Rookie mistake by Jr. in my opinion.

He may have been frustrated by his pit stop mistakes, he may have been ticked off at Vickers, but he's been racing long enough to know what the outcome of that tap would be.

Lead, follow, or get out of the way or you will go into the wall. It was just hard racin' imo. Like it used to be 20 years ago but God forbid they "race" anymore. I would have done the same thing he did.

The bonehead moves Jr. made in the pits is very strange, indeed.

I miss the good ol' days when NASCAR truly was a Southern sport dominated by "good ol' boys".

And as to California, I'll watch it this year, but I've been boycotting that race in the past b/c it took away events from my two favorite tracks, Rockingham and Darlington. NASCAR doesn't seem to have any respect to its past anymore. Although I would probably do the same thing if I was in their position (money talks!).
