2nd annual? Didn't my grandaddy beat your grandaddy back in the Moonshine 400 back in '31?

Oh good! I'm glad I talked some sense into you. I bet you're glad you joined the good side after last night's game. Talk about waiting for the last second to do something. But hey...they did it! But seriously, thank you for supporting them.

ooops! I forgot !!

Better watch out for me and my pickup truck. We will be pulling the S. S. Minnow on the trailer again. We will try to beat you. 😂

I'm sitting here watching TV and making plans......plans for the 2nd annual Moonshine 400 ! It comes in the first week of May you know! I'm going to TRY to win this year....well...I tried last year but the Moonshine Mauler just couldn't cut it! How many of you guys are planning to race in it this year? ( If you will remember we had a good turn out last year!)

Garrett, I've changed my mind bud....I'm pulling for the Bears tonight!

I'm lovin' the Enos show. I wish it lasted longer than the 1 Season 18 episodes. Bummer so short lived. It's great.

we'll find out tomorrow bud! You just be here after the game and we'll talk about it and what went wrong....lol!

Nope. I've moved on. We got Iceman Caleb Williams now...gonna ice Green Bay out tomorrow night. Or at least I hope...

Well Bowyer's and RCR's (Richard Childress Racing) appeal was over ruled this afternoon after an almost five hour appeal. So the penalty sticks. Childress is now taking his appeal to a higher court in NASCAR, but doubt that would take him far if all three people on the appeal panel overruled or denied his appeal. Childress even had a guy recreate how the tow truck could make whatever got higher, get higher. . Childress' pro reconstruction guy seemed to go all out and gave good examples of what they said happened and claim NASCAR paid no attention to it all. . .NASCAR states that there was discrepencies in his story and with what NASCAR found. Example that was given was that the man stated how it could raise the left rear end, not the right when both were up too high or something like that. If Childress' story is right, then why would they allow the tow truck bump into him like that to push him to victory lane - if the little love tap as they call it, could do damage to the car that they would take back to the shop? I don't know...though what gets me is how he passed post race inspection and then fail the one at the shop. Feel bad for Bowyer that they didn't even cut down his penalty at all, especially if their expert is right. But at the same time, if NASCAR found his car wrong, it is up to them to regulate it so that kind of stuff won't happen again. I want to believe Bowyer and Childress. They don't seem to be the types to cheat in order to win and don't remember them getting caught with something like this before. But at the other side, I still think for his penalty to be so high, that NASCAR must have found something specific that has made them so sure of the car being wrong. I could be wrong though. . . Well I have went back and forth and given y'all my two cents on the whole thing. What y'all think about it all? Would be interested to hear what you think about the whole thing, especially since y'all put up with all my ramblings about it.

My other NASCAR source says they weren't going to fine drivers in cases like that. (NASCAR officials made that statement at the beginning of the season) But this incident went too far. If they wouldn't have taken action then things could have gone even farther in the future. They had to draw the line somewhere. By the way Garrett, are you going to start a thread for points standings?

I feel like NASCAR was too harsh on Edwards. I am not big on retaliation and all, Edwards did deliberately wreck Keselowski where Keselowski bumped into Edwards, but at the same time, Keselowski bumped him on the last lap to take the lead away. Any driver in Edwards' spot, I feel, would have came back at Keselowski to take the lead back. If Brad is going to drive people like that, he needs to expect that they may repay him for what he done. Especially on the last lap, especially when it is with someone like Edwards who he has wrecked in the past like that. Edwards I feel is not an overly aggressive driver, he just races other drivers the way they race him and Keselowski seems to find ways to run into him and other drivers. NASCAR needs to look into what starts it all, not just how it ends. They need to punish everyone the same. As I said, Edwards did take it a bit over board with how hard he hit Brad and he admitted to wrecking Keselowski on TV afterwards, but at the same time, it all started with Brad bumping into him to get the lead. I am just glad that NASCAR, this time, has also put Brad on probation as well (Both of them on probation on both series through 12/31/10), but they shouldn't have docked or fined Edwards for what he did. I feel probation for them both would have warranted the whole ordeal. That is my two cents worth on the topic. Reading online other people's reactions, I know there is a lot of people that feel differently, but that is how I feel about it. Anyone else watch it? (I didn't watch the race, but did watch what happened on computer) What you think of it and NASCAR's punishment?
