Nationwide Race

[dirtydistance]

Denny needs to shut his mouth and cut it with the attitude. Kesleowski is a young developmental racer, which is what the Nationwide Series should consist of. Had the best run of his career and was going for the win, so what if he's a little aggressive? I guess some jerk from the Sprint Cup series has to take a step down and beat on the younger guys? Denny Hamlin lost all the respect I had for him tonight and honestly I now despise him worse than Busch, he races hard and aggressive but isn't so much a jerk over it.

But seriously, get these Cup guys out of the Nationwide series. I don't care about ratings or anything else. A developmental or minor league should be just that, up and comers and journeymen racing, not the big superstars that should have better things to worry about than ruining racecars of some younger guy that dreams of being at their level someday.

I really think Brad could've won it, even if not Denny was wrong. He's so ignorant, ah i race cup blah blah blah. It would be great if Jr. did something to Hamlins car tonight

I agree with ya Erik, Denny used to have respect for others. I think he has takebn everything to his head recently. Giving somebody alittle love tap in the rear is one thing. Drivers do that all the time and it doesn't hurt the car. Driving up and causing body damage to another is a whole different matter, then to come out and say he did it on purpose is another.

Jr didn't like it either, like to be a fly on the wall for that convo.........LOL

I agree! But thats all I'll say because I dont want to make Shayne mad.

Yes Congrats to Kyle, but I'm still debating as too which was the worse incident today.
Hamlin taking out Brad's fender or Donny Lia's win here in Ohio where he went up and clipped David Starr in the Truck race. In that one Starr was winning and going to win until Lia went and drove up into Starr, that was a real shady way to win. I don't think Brad would have caught Kyle, but would have made for a better finish.

Well I was all for David winning that race, but I don't think there was any intent on Lia's part. Last lap, checkered flag in sight, you don't hold anything back. I am pretty sure he just drove in too hard and couldn't quite hold his line. He didn't intentionally wreck Starr........Unlike Skinner early in the race taking out Hornaday (and I am a Skinner fan, have been since his days in the RCR #31 Lowe's car). I mean Skinner didn't even try to turn into the corner until after he hit Hornaday.

But I guess after you watch Shrub do it week after week and get away with it...........?

Kyle Busch is a bad influence.

A few thoughts from the Nationwide Race

* Love him or hate him, Kyle Busch is one heck of a driver

* Brad was wrong and Denny was wrong for retaliating

* The Jr motorsports crews actions was ridiculous and I think there should be some SERIOUS fines, points deductions, and possibly suspensions for trying to start what looked like a riot.

I'll agree with all of the above

But ya gotta admit:
1. Fans LOVE to HATE a driver who is winning everything in site

2. Both were wrong - but it makes for drama & something interesting to talk about

3. Yeah I see "actions detrimental to stock car racing" penalties - but most fans love to see a good brawl after a controversial race. I wish the cameras had gotten more of the action!

We need personalties to cheer AND boo
We need controversy
Adds interest to the season

Denny has seemed to lose a lot of patience recently. I guess I'd be peeved too if someone lifted my rear end off the ground during yellow though. Still doesn't make it right for him to retaliate the way he did. I'm disappointed he didn't keep his cool.

I agree also it would've been nice to see more of the fight LOL...it's almost as exciting as the race.
