Busch at Dover

June 3, 2001

Mike Skinner and Matt Kenseth both need the crap beat out of them. They both spun out and crashed regular BGN drivers to gain a position.

Mike Skinner would not even let his teammate, Harvick by at the end so he could gain a points(5) position. That is indefensible. This is from the same Buttwipe that nearly crashed Earnhardt (his teammate) last year at Atlanta for a position. Not the lead, mind you, just a spot on the track.

Skinner is just an A$$ and needs to be removed from WC and BGN racing.

Maybe Harvick and Hamilton Jr. have something planned for Sunday.

I really like Kenseth and think he has made great strides in his driving ability. But what he did today to the 92 car was just a "Hey I'm a WC driver, so you need to get out of my way" attitude.

Like I said, Kick both their A$$ES!!!!!

I agree somewhat, because it really pisses me off when a Cup driver spins a BGN driver out on purpose. I also can't stand Mike Skinner and think he should be sent back to the truck series. But, for a driver to just move over and let a teammate by is not racing, plain and simple. Afterall, that other driver has a team too and how would the look at their driver if something like that happened? I sure as heck don't want NASCAR racing to end up looking like Formula 1....

I would agree with not letting a teammate by if they were running for a championship in the same series. WC drivers go to Busch for cash, not points. Skinner is a full time WC driver. Harvick is leading the BGN points. Skinner should help him out in that situation. Maybe if Skinner would show a little consideration on the track he would be respected by other drivers and the fans. I don't know of one Skinner fan and I did read that Dale couldn't stand him.

If your own racing teammate doesn't like you, something is wrong! Hopefully RCR will wise up and dump him after this season.

Yeah, they should have cut the Busch guys a little bit of a break, but they were trying to win too. Tough call on those deals.

I've thought for a few years now that NASCAR should limit the number of Cup driver in Busch to say 5 (for example). Then tell them as many of them that want to, can attempt to qualify, but only the fastest 5 cup drivers will be allowed in the event and they will start in the postion they qualify in (of cource). Just a though. I'm sure it's frustrating for the Busch regulars that are trying to get racing experience or make a living to have to go home because there's alot of Cup guys in their race.
