This belongs in the "While you were away..." thread. I sense when I return that it will be a whole day of youtubing.bjornolf wrote:The commercial with Smoke switching seats with the King during a race so he can eat his Burger King is pretty hysterical, at least I thought.
Other than Marcos, you're absolutely right. For me, the only thing worse than a C-list start-and-park, is a B-list'er having to leave the race as his car is totaled a la Junior. I know this past weekend wasn't his fault, but I have not received any Fantasy lovin' from Jr, and I'm really getting frustrated.Lavabe wrote:Is anyone else getting annoyed with these start-and-park jobbies in the C-list? I still don't get what they are trying to do. If you start, what's the harm in racing?

It's NEVER good to take a second hard shot to an already caved in driver side. Joey Logano DRILLED him there at the end. It was kinda cool to watch, knowing in hindsight that he was okay. Often a driver gets one cool hit per wreck. Kyle got turned sideways and caught air, smashed the wall, then got shot up into the air and rode on top of Kahne's car for a while, spun around to hit the wall again, then took the T-Bone shot from Logano. He's DAMN lucky that the COT are so much tougher than the old cars. He probably would have been in the hospital in the old cars, and maybe dead without the HANS device.
I was really tempted to pick Jr, especially after our PM about him. I figured I'd give him one more week to earn his way back into things.TillyGalore wrote:Other than Marcos, you're absolutely right.

Well, for pure spectacle, Edward's was more impressive, if this is the one you're talking about http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c9FsYDEIZWk. I loved how he ran down the track to finish on foot. I think he should get credit for that, darnit. He did take a NASTY hit to the front, but most of the damage near him personally was along the softer fence (you can see it bowing WAY out). And he gets extra credit for going upside down for a second and catching fire. However, Kyle gets HAMMERED right on the driver side multiple times.Lavabe wrote:How much worse was this than Carl Edwards' Talladega fly-by?
Let's Go Duke! 
That's your opinion, I disagree. I think Edwards' was much worse as had it not been for the fence, there would have some deaths that day.bjornolf wrote:Well, for pure spectacle, Edward's was more impressive, if this is the one you're talking about http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c9FsYDEIZWk.

I was more speaking just danger to the driver, but taking into account danger to everyone, I would argue that if it weren't for the safer barriers and then later the wall, people would have died this weekend, too. Remember, they didn't always have walls. In some countries, they still don't.TillyGalore wrote:That's your opinion, I disagree.

Oh, I know, but I wanted to change my whole line-up.colchar wrote:TillyGalore wrote:Crap, I missed the deadline to change drivers and now I'm stuck with Blech Busch.
You can still swap your reserves in for your starters.
