Big wrecks shake up the Chase

Idiotic moves in two separate incidents by Jimmie Johnson and Ryan Newman cause a shake up in the points.  Since I'm writing this while watching it, I don't know the exact points standings, but there were only about three or four of the Chase drivers not involved in some sort of incident at 'Dega.

The first big one was caused by Jimmie Johnson getting into the back of Elliott Sadler and spinning him.  Waltrip went for a wild ride in that one, flipping across the track, luckily for the safety equipment, he wasn't hurt.

The second big one was caused by Ryan Newman getting into the back of Casey Mears, spinning him and Riggs went flipping end over end in that one.

Both wrecks were similar, with only a few differences.  The one Newman caused was when he was supposedly bump drafting, except it was on the turn.  Bonehead move if you ask me.  I may be a fan of his, but that was a stupid move and it also ended up collecting his teammate in the wreck, but I don't think he really cares about that.  He did apologize over the radio after the wreck, but that's not much solace for all the teams that got damaged.

Johnson's wreck was similar with the fact that it damaged a lot of cars, of course, we heard a few renditions about what happened.  Over the radio we heard that he said someone hit him into Sadler, but when the car was getting fixed, he wasn't sure what happened.  He needs to look at the replays of the wreck, he hit Sadler, he caused the wreck, he needs to be a man and admit it was his fault.

Regardless of whether apologies were given or not, both moves were stupid.  Obviously Johnson hit (bumped, whatever you want to call it) Sadler too hard and spun him; Newman's move was equally stupid because he bump drafted in the turn.  Both were stupid moves, especially that early in the race.

*Update* Dale Jarrett wins!  Congrats Dale.
