What was he thinking????
Okay, yes I know it's early, but I had to get on and question the thinking of the #47's pit crew member that forced the caution catching all but five cars a lap or more down.
I realize that they want to get their tires when they get away, but this was during GREEN flag pitstops when pit road was busy and he runs across pit road into the grassy area to get the tire? I'm glad NASCAR suspended the guy for the rest of the race for that stupid move.
I just want to know what he was thinking when he did that? Did he think NASCAR didn't notice the tire get away and was trying to get it back before they did or what? He put himself in danger of getting killed if there had been a wreck at that time on the frontstretch. For once I actually agree with what NASCAR did, although it caught my guy and a lot of other drivers a lap or more down. It definitely made for some interesting scanner conversations, to say the least.
As of the writing of this, Kurt Busch, not Kyle, is running away with this race, his car is like a rocket out there compared to everyone else. Unless something happens, I predict that he will win this race even if it comes down to a green-white-checkered.
Your thoughts?

Kathy - The guy was probably trying to keep the tire from going onto the track. But it sure wasn't a very smart move.
Congrats to Kurt. He had the best car and deserved to win. Two of my favs finished 5th and 8th. Way to go Vickers and Smoke. :) Tony came back from 2 laps down.
All State ladies - Nice finish for your guy too.

Needless to say I have to give a huge huge shout to Pat, Kurt and the 2. Best car won..
Congrats to the 24, 99, Smoke...and Vickers..
Humm 2 and 83 could have been damn interesting.
So 2 weeks in a row Busch wins. Kyle wins the CTS race this weekend. The 2 most hated in NASCAR.. See a theme going./
Oh J2, you need a diagram to let the 48 need to notice you have a Pit Road speed? Umm its been there for years.Whom is a fault J2 for all the Pit Road issues this year J2? You want Chad fired as well.
he 24 will win 3-6 races this year, no debate.
DJ, saw the post on the last blog. Yep Detest UNC, but lets not forget anything Florida Gators.. Not that Biased. Oddly enough I do have alot of respect for your UNC coach. You swept Duke, , enjoy that #1 seed, as #1 hasnt been kind to most..
