The starting grid will be divided into five groups according to qualifying points. Choose the one driver from each group you think will finish highest. The total driver points from your five picks will determine your score.

Good job Steve!

I think they gave that race to Tony!

The way I saw it, Tony forced Smith below the line and he was not below the line when he took the led or advanced and crossed the finish line!

I think it was a bad call on Nascars part.

Man, Carl what a bone head move or even a bone head whole race he ran.....

http://www.jayski.com/cupnews.htm#race

I wasn't able to watch the race because I was a local track for our last race weekend of the year. I heard about it and have seen the video and looks like to me Tony forced Smith down. That link I posted up from Jayksi says anything NASCAR saying that Tomy forced Smith under the yellow line,unless I missed in that link!!!

As for Carl, someone told that he admitted that was bonehead move that he did, I think great when a driver can admit he did something wrong on the track!!

I saw a reply on Nascar now, Smith was below the line when he advanced his position, but Tony forced him down there blocking...... They gave the race to Tony!

Tony used to be one of my favorite drivers but lately I seem to see him in a different light as he acts more like a big baby! The whole Toyota, Chevy, him leaving Joe Gibbs racing deal, has just turned me away as a fan, I will enjoy watching him struggle with his new team!


Carl's a humble, great guy, he just ran a bonehead race...He lost alot of respect from the drivers after that bonehead move...

It much looks like to me also that NASCAR gave the race to Tony. From the angles I saw Smith was forced below the line - no question there- but it didn't look like he passed Tony until he was actually back on the track.

I posted the same thing Whitning said a few races ago. Tony used to be my favorite racer until this year. He has fallen out of favor with me because of the few things he has done this year that show his true character.

Didn't he have anger management issues a few years back? Time for a lil more counseling I guess. I like him for being outspoken.
