I missed the whole race. It's tough missing a race at Bristol, because there are always tempers flaring! Dale Jr. and Robby Gordon (shocker) got into it during the race and after the race. Gordon, who was a lap down to Dale, was making himself tough to pass, irking Junior. After the race, during the cool down lap, Junior bumped Robby, who retaliated by spinning Junior out when all the cars were on pit row. Gordon was fined $10K to day and put on probation. Dale was fined $5K. Not to be outdone, Harvick was also fined $10K and put on probation for an incident during Saturday's Busch series race when he grabbed Greg Biffle by the neck (I think he was trying to pull him out of his car) after the two of them tangled during the race. Woo-hoo! That's Bristol!
Kurt Busch won his first race ever. I think he's going to be a great driver. Check out this photo from Vegas, before he ever even won a race:
Jeepers! The guy was a babe magnet when he was a loser. Imagine the action he's seeing now that he's a bigtime winner! Psst...Hey, Kurt, I hear Brooke Gordon is available.
Todd had the huge week this week. A
594. You go Todd! Jason, on the other hand, followed his season-high
total of 601 with a sad little 390. Brian built up his lead in the
Red Division to 288 points over Jason, while Tristan closed to the lead
to 22 (behind Leeto) in the Neck division.
