I was hoping Mark would race also. It's a shame that he's in first (even if it's such a small margin) and with him not racing he'll be out of first after that. I have always like Mark. He's a clean racer and admits when he's wrong.

Jimmie could've given Tony alot more room. Semmed Tony was willing to take the high side and give Johnson some room. I just wish Jimmie would race guys with the same level of respect they race him with. I was looking forward to a race, not Jimmie running Stewart into the wall. Contact or not, Jimmie gave Stewart no room.crabcake said:

Let's make a guess where Johnson finishes?nachomama said:Hopefully he'll come to his senses and change his mind. I'm sure Ginn Racing would be able to accomodate him.
Bring on the Bullring they call Bristol!

I've always been a fan of Mark Martin. He's got his best shot at a championship since 1990, wish he would take it. Oh well...purplepassion said:

He's never led the points 3 weeks in a row 4 races in since 1990. He almost won that year too.Pete said:You mean Martin has never led the points in the previous 16 years?
And to my anonymous karma giver, I do know what the hell I'm talking about. Watching and going to automobile races (and not just NASCAR, but ARCA, ASA, IndyCar and IHRA) 14 years of my life, I'm sure I'm qualified to an opinion about car racing. Rick Hendrick's the devil - sorry if you disagree, it's an opinion. If you're too much of a pussy that you cannot handle that, I feel bad for you.

You are right, I would have to agree 5 races in if he stayed he would be a sure lock to win a championship.AndyMarquisLIVE said:He's never led the points 3 weeks in a row 4 races in since 1990. He almost won that year too.

nachomama said:He won't. He'll probably pick up a dnf. Bristol is also known as the "revenge track".
Remember 2001?I'm willing to bet Gordon has a run in with Juan Pablo Montoya. And JJ Yeley accidently loses front end traction and spins the 48.
Falll 2002, Bristol. Funniest NASCAR race ever! First Elliott Sadler punching the ambulance. Then Hut Stricklin applauding someone else's cheap shot. Ward Burton's padding toss to/at Junior, and Rusty.
I loved how Rusty stated he would've "loved to have gotten up to the 24 and knocked the #### out of him."

Last year at this point, we knew Johnson and Kenseth would be the front runners in the championship. There's always a darkhorse, however. Remember Harvick last year?Pete said:

Roughidle said:Was just good hard racing between two great drivers. I'ld rather see finishes like that than someone winning with a half track lead.
My only complaint is about NASCAR is Nextel drivers racing in the Busch series.
I'm a Harvick fan, everybody knows this. Last year was utterly ridiculous.
I think NASCAR should have a tougher qualifying procedure with NNC in Busch. When they're at another track, run qualifying the same time as Nextel Cup qualifying. Whoever's name is on the entry list has to qualify.
Oh, and with the new TV package, don't be afraid to run Busch and Nextel Cup races on the same day (maybe Busch Series at 11:30 and NNC at 3:30) on occassion. That way Happy and Carl have a choice: Busch OR Nextel Cup.

So 5 races in last year, Jimmie Johnson was not a good prediction to win the championship?Pete said:
5 races in, you can generally tell who's going to be a factor and who's not.

It dosent matter who is better than who. NASCAR will cease to exist after I take my scientific data to Al Gore!

I don’t know.... It’s pretty compelling. Maybe with a little persuasion, I may just burry the evidence and let NASCAR thrive.
