Yep, he ran a great race, back to winning form.
Shrub on the other hand must have fired half his pit crew, they turn the rear track bar the wrong way, that's why he fell back to 3rd.
He just had problems in the pits all day, in the second to last stop, they put the adjustment wrench in, but never turned it, then the last pit, they turned it the wrong way, Shrub must have been screaming mad. I thought it was really funny..
And next week is Martinsville, a nice little 1/2 mile bull ring, and I think there are going to be a lot of paybacks. Should be great!!

I must admit I enjoyed his pit problems .... giving credit where its due, Shrub has talent .... that said he has very little temper control to go with it

Hear hear, that cry baby is a dad, and I think his kid has more control over her emotions then dear old Dad.

And as for talent, he lies a LOT, has to add all of his wins from the lesser series to brag about them in cup, what a joke. He claims to be approaching Richard Petty's 200 wins, and he is no where near it. He's only near it if you add in Busch and truck series wins. What a bunch of BS.
Petty won 200 NASCAR (the big boy league) and shrub only has, what is it, 28? He gets up to 100+ wins if you include truck and Busch series. He lies to himself and expects everyone to believe him. What a baby.

He wasn't even available for a post race interview. I wonder if he violated his contract?
I think Harvick let his temper get out of hand. He should have let the car by and catch him later.
At least he finally finished. That was good.

Hey, there's an idea, let's do a letter writing (or webpage entry, which ever will get there) and ask about that.
I don't see any harm in asking Gibbs if Shrub violated anything when he wasn't around for an interview after the race. And do it 15 or 20 times, and pressure Gibbs to tell Shrub to grow up and stop being such a cry baby. (hehehehehehehe)

Harvick did say that it was his fault, so you really have to give him an "atta boy" for being adult about the incident.
Harvick is a class act (most of the time).

Yeah, I'm probably going to catch hell for what I said, but it is what I truly feel. Busch has been racing long enough to finally be an adult about it. Grow up son, and leave the pout out of it.

Nice ......
Shrub is going to need a small box of money to pay the fine for disappearing after the race.
Seems NASCAR has it written, that the 1,2 and 3rd place drivers have to be available for comment after the race.
If they're not around, it's a $10K fine from TV; and Shrub finished 3rd if I remember correctly (heheheheheh)
Awwwww the baby was pouting and now will pout a little more.

this isn't the first time he's ducked out to avoid an interview after a race .... the reality is, I doubt 10K$ means anywhere near as much to him as it does to most of us .... Gibbs is the only one who can get his attention and so far, he hasn't chosen to do so
