Nothing like crossing the finish line in the air.....Wasn't nearly as exciting as his last crash there though. I was sorry to see Johnson DNF.....<sniff><sniff>...LMAO :cool:

 

BTW....what did Jr, say in Victory lane....I heard NBC appologize, but I missed the dreaded curse word.....My take on the situation is.....if there was a kid to offend watching the race, chances are they heard their parents say the same word a couple of hundred times during the race.

Well, He slipped the tongue twice. When the reporter (I think it was Matt Yocum) informed Jr. he regained the points lead, Jr. Said "H*ll yeah man!".

 

 

But the apology was over Yocum asking Junior about some issue (Forgot what it was), and Jr. said (with kind-of a smirk) "That don't mean Sh*t right now."

d**n that was a good race... I pizzed my self laughing when Johnson parked his car, and was really hoping his buddy would join him!! But since Jr got the points lead, and his 5th win of the year I can't complain.

Jr said during the interview: "It dont mean s___, Daddy won 10 of em here" Then NBC apologized for the curser word.

 

I expect a monetary fine and probably 25 points taken away if NASCAR actually sticks to its own precedents it set this year. Course we all know how well NASCAR sticks to its precedents right? :cool:

 

Neways glad my favorite driver won, and took the points lead. Sucks though he might lose it on the langauge there lol.

NASCAR is out of control

 

I am a Jr. fan so I may be biased, but I would be pissed if it were any other driver too. IMHO, NASCAR has gone way overboard with this sh*t....GOTO victory lane, or get fined....BE nice or get fined.....don't show emotion or get fined......show me one person who was offended???

 

While on my rant, I'll throw the NFL into the mix too.....no celebrating???? Next thing ya know, MLB will start docking runs for going out to home plate to give high fives after a homerun...but I digress.

 

Let the drivers decided the championship on the track....not a bunch of guys in suites in a board room, that are only worried about the bottom line.

While I agree with you somewhat, TMF. If he hadn't been penalized, there would've been an outcry from Gordon fans, Johnson fans, and anybody else, all b*tching because 2 drivers before him this year did the same thing and got the same punishment. So it almost had to be done. :cool:

 

 

Only thing we can do now, is hope that if Jr. does lose the championship, it's by over 25 points.

Oh I agree the precident has been set....for the rest of the season they have to do it that way. I just think it's a dumb rule to begin with....I can see if you are up there cussin up a storm, but everyone lets one slip every now and then. I just think next season, they need to look at the rule, and maybe figure something else out. I can see the fine, no one likes to take a hit in the pocket book...but I think a point deduction for the first offense is excessive. I mean....he probably could have spun someone out on purpose....called it racing, and not gotten a point deduction.

As I said before I am a JR fan, but I would feel this way for any driver....the Cup should be won on the track, not lost in an interview.

I'm so angry about this 25 point deal I think I'm gonna flip! If Jr loses the championship by less than 25 pts, I'll be livid. It's rediculous...the dude was just cruisin at almost 200 mph and just won a race! So he said sh*t...most people would sh*t! It's not like he told someone to go f**k themselves. I hope he wins the next 5 races and builds up a 400 pt lead so he can tell the good folks at Nascar to go f**k themselves on national TV! (Sorry, I know I sound rediculous, but this is a sore subject for me)

I'm a HUGE Jr. fan, and I'm GLAD they he lost the points. WHY? Because just like mentioned before the precedent has been set. If they had not taken the points everyone would go back to what they used to say, that NASCAR shows favoritism towards him.

 

As for the comments of the penalty being too harsh for anyone, the only thing I can figure is, it is like every other penalty they hand out, the drivers don't care about the money so fines won't do any good, but they do care about points so let's get them to really pay attention. NASCAR and NBC are worried about the FCC and they don't want to get nailed over what a driver does, so they're trying to make the drivers pay more attention.

 

Was I offended? Absolutely not, I thought it was funny. However, I understand why all of this was done and I agree withthe punishment because of the consistency. We all always b!tch and moan that NASCAR is not consistent with penalties and now that they are trying to be consistent everyone wants to b!tch because they want them to take it easy on Jr.

 

My hats off to NASCAR for finally having the backbone to be consistent, even though it does suck for me as a Jr fan.

I agree with you Budhayes3, I don't want to see him lose it by less then 25 points,but I guess NASCAR had to be consistent (then again why should they start now? :sigh: )

Anyway I don't want to see him lose it by less than 25 points to a Roush driver because of what happened in 1990 when they penalized Mark Martin 25 points for an illegal intake manifold, he ended up losing the championship by just a few points and good 'ol Jack Roush is still upset about it,so I don't want to give Roush the satisfaction of winning the championship this year that way.

What Jr. did was off the track and it didn't effect the way anyone else finished, and HE DIDN'T CHEAT like Roush was doing in '90.

I hope he does good in Kansas and I'll be in Charlotte next Saturday night to root him on!! :thumbs:

      Gas Prices

      WTI futures / speculation is just that. WTI futures <> current 4-7% inflation and national average gas price over $4.00/gallon.   The spot price, at delivery, is currently $87-$95/barrel which is why gas prices remain high.   Edit: oH mY gOd mEnTaL BrEaKdoWn In tHE pOsT aBOve mInE.

      He does, actually. In another unrelated video he mentions the president called him in the middle of the night to relay some information on a cause (religious based) that he's invested in. Glenn expressed concern that another leftist administration could wield too much power with some procedure the Pentagon was using, classifying certain religions a certain way. Being that he is LDS (Latter Day Saints), he gets hate all the time from ALL over the political spectrum, so he's invested in this. Trump called him back at 5AM to tell him he had made some changes to that classification.   So, yes, they are and have been in contact regularly since the start of the administration. Glenn, of course, always asks his permission before discussing anything on the air.   I already spent an hour or more just searching for these videos. I may have my numbers wrong - I'm not a numbers guy. It may have been a MILLION barrels, not 1.5. The point is, our President, by his actions, gives a crap about America, and US - this is completely OPPOSITE the actions of the prior administration who projected hatred for anyone who wasn't following the left's edicts in lock-step.   Remember, they called January 6th an "Insurrection", when there were ZERO weapons among the crowd, undercover FBI agents agitating the crowd, along with paid leftists acting as aggressors, egging the crowd on in an attempt to whip everyone into a frenzy. It's all been proven.  Pelosi refused Trumps request for more National Guard troops. This smells 100% like an inside job for those with critical thinking skills. Only a handful of guys in the crowd got wrapped up in that, thankfully, but EVERYONE was searched out based on cell phone data, and charges were brought against many. And 6 or so people were locked up and left in solitary confinement for YEARS with ZERO due process!! If you give the slightest crap about our Nation, REGARDLESS of your political leanings, this should frighten you to your core. This is what men suffered, bled, fought, and died against 250 years ago!   This has gone FAR BEYOND left vs. right. This is a  threat to America, and our way of life. This is PRECISELY why Trump, a BILLIONAIRE who could have chosen to take Melania and sit on some tropical island that he could afford to buy himself and RELAX, instead chose to run for office, get hate from literally every corner of the media, get ATTEMPTS on his LIFE constantly, and begin to repair some of the severe damage that's been done to this Great Nation.   I don't know why I bother wasting my precious time here. Everyone has their minds made up. They won't realize we all were correct until it's too late ... after they elect another tyrant that hates America to office (Obama), or another puppet whose administration is secretly running the show behind the scenes (Biden).

      By Newduramaxh*ar · Posted

      Hello, Im in a bit of a bind maybe someone could help me out.  We towed our trailer, up a pretty steep incline (395 north of Bishop) done it before no issues. I got to our campground turn truck off, i restarted the truck about an hour later  and check engine light turns on. Found DTC P2C48,  unable to reset.  This morning i removed the plug, there's 12.12v at the plug. Reservoir near firewall is full of coolant, checked for leaks nothing. I dont hear or feel the pump turning on. My dilemma, is nearest dealer  is 4hrs away that has the pump instock. Is it safe to drive? By me checking the available voltage at the connector and not hearing/feeling pump turn on, is it a bad pump? Please help...

      The figure bandied about is "100 million barrels" so I think a decimal is off somewhere. But that doesn't change the outcome much when the expected flow through the Strait through over the same time should have been more than 2,000,000,000.   So 5%, if that number is even true, and there's sufficient data to believe it's not. Give that man another Fifa peace prize! 5% is less than the flow of a grapefruit-sized prostate blocking the release of cheap lager after a night of bingo.
