Just out of curiosity.. er. what's the fastest care you own? Could
it beeeeeeeeeeeeee a frekin' Cheby???

Ahem...um...er...

Yes. :)

Yes indeed....

Although technically, it's not a Chevy.

It's a Corvette.

Made by GM, but it's not a Chevy.

One Ford in the top ten?? I mean he's in first, but there are two laps
and he is surrounded by the enemy

It's a conspiracy by GM - all their Chevy drivers took out the Ford
drivers.

What's the matter - your Chevy drivers can't keep their cars straight?

Damn - my wife drives better than that.

Jeff Gordon. *How can they not shake a flag at him for such bad driving.
Gets to the almost front and then slows down through the middle of the pack
causing carnage. *Then speeds up again. *Couple times.

NASCAR has a reputation of letting their "stars" get away with
anything. *DE paved the way with his "If you can't beat 'em, wreck
'em" driving style. *NASCAR sold their soul to GM years ago, and now
with the COT, it's just a joke.

It's endemic in all motor sports. *Hell, even F1 got caught up in it
when they obviously knew that Schumacher was running rocket fuel until
word got out, then all of a sudden - whoops - naughty, naughty.

Ferrari owns F1 like GM owns NASCAR.

I hate the COT and I blame Jeff Burton for that - he caterwauled about
driver safety, driver safety and too expensive, too expensive, too
expensive and look what we got - crappy looking cars that don't handle
for squat on any type of track and you get lousy races like last
night.

Bring back Pearson and the Woods Brothers, and I'll watch again. *Race
on Sunday, sell on Monday. *:-)

Damn straight. *:)

Actually, teams are getting the new car dialed in nicely, and it's
making some damned good racing. What looks strange as all hell is the
way they've got those things crabbing to make them tighter. You see
them on the straight and it looks like the ass end is coming around!
