Re: Wild Ride
Forgive my lack of knowledge of racing...but didn't that look like the fault of the 09 car that was trailing? What happens in this case --- does the 09 car win the race? And does the driver of the 99 car get credit for jogging across the finish line?!Out of my mind; back in five minutes. -
Re: Wild Ride
No, he doesn't get credit for finishing the race.
The 09 had position underneath and you can't cross the yellow line at Talledega, so it's the 99s fault since he came down when the 09 already had position. Carl Edwards even admitted it was his fault.Comment

Best summed up by the time honoured racing phrase:Originally posted by glenvb View Post
" It was one of them racin' deals"
99 made the mistake of opening the door with a guy on his back bumper who is pretty green and very hungry. He made it worse by trying to slam the door closed. At 'dega you simply never lift your foot off the gas. You can drag the brake to slow momentum a bit but you never lift all day long. Restrictor plate racing is a crazy business.I will not, for a moment longer, support an organization who chooses to cowardly kneel where they once fiercely & proudly stoodComment

Any of them who would actually think Talledega Nights is about NASCAR or racing have likely been in a few too many crashes without appropriate safety equipment!Originally posted by Diesel View Post

Re: Wild Ride
And then there is the old phrase in racing of spinning yourself out. Thats when you try and cut someone of like that and you simply end up taking yourself out. And with the plates they were put in after Bobby Allison crashed into the fence at roughly the same place there in 1988.Originally posted by Diesel View PostA lot of people go through life doing things badly.
