Classic short track racing, if Martin had to race Dale Sr. or Walthrup he would really be screaming cause Sr. and D would not have had a problem at all running Martin into the wall to win the race!

There are no nice drivers at this time of the year!

I have watched the replay a couple of dozen times now and people might be mad because Joey gave Martin the bumper and Truex still had a chance to win that race, he turned back down into Joey because he was mad, if we just stayed the course and straighten that car back out, he had a chance, It would have been a 3 car drag race to the finish line.

64osby will stay 5 points ahead of me as long as we don't pull a backup out of the garage. We have the same picks, but 64 choose The Twerp for the pole and I didn't. :blue:

This was the first time I picked in time to make a poll pick. Not that it mattered in the end.

Congrats to Sam.

Congrats Sam...!!! :encouragement:

As for the finish of the race it was excellent...except for Logo body slamming Truex. There is a difference between a bump and run and a bump and body slam. IMO...Truex raced Logo clean as can be and passed as clean as he could. However...Truex will Not be as nice next time...:bump2:

And in the words of Truex...Logo may have won the battle But he will NOT win the War...:eek: :D

And if it was the other way? This happens in close races and always the bumpee complains about the bumper.

It wasn't a body slam, just a little bumper rub with Truex getting out of shape. Don't get me wrong, I'm not a fan of either guy.

Joey was actually easy on Martin, neither one of them would have lasted in a race at Martinsville with Dale Sr. or DW.

Rubbing is racing boys and girls, every body wants it, but they just don't want that guy doing it!

:pound:

Thanks... The team, car and driver were all in the shop for most of the regular season.I'm surprised that my picking did more than make my nose itch less. :lol:
