Funny how some people are still whining about a guy that's been gone for over 15 years.

Yeah regardless of who did what 15 years ago what Denny did was uncalled for.
I think race fans at the track made it known to Denny what they thought.

Keselowski and Elliot rubbin' and trading paint, that was racing. Kyle under Hamlin and door slamming him in the turn, that was racing. Hamlin on Elliot's bumper before they even got to the turn, was an outright punt out of the groove. And based on his Twitter post (he must have seen the video) he gets it was wrong.

But what goes around came around pretty quick for Hamlin, he didn't get the clock either. And notice how after Blaney hit him in the front stretch, Hamlin ran Blaney right down into the infield wall? Yeah, that wasn't deliberate either.

I never liked Hamlin in the beginning but he had earned a lot of respect the other year coming back from the big injury. Well he lost that today. Big E said yeah I moved him. He never lied about it since it's no good to lie when the camera shows what happened. Oh man I'm so sorry, I was being pushed from behind. What a load of ****. If I was Chase I'd put him in the spin cycle.

I didn't see Brad squawking about getting moved. He learned a lesson about the outside lane on an overtime restart and he knew it.
The #11 has always been a bad temper kind of racer, what he did was blatant. Karma Denny, Karma.
The #78 almost stole it, that would have been great. As long as the 2, the 18, or the 78 wins I'm happy.
The #4 finished backwards and on fire. I love me some short track.

IMHO Hamlin has always been a whiney but who cries if someone makes a move on him, but who is never wrong when he makes a move on someone.

Martinsville was more of the same. He is right about one thing hung. Chase got off the previous corner very badly. Hamlin would not have been close enough to hit him if Chase hadn't made that bad exit. However, Hamlin knew that, and could have moved Chase out of the way without wrecking him.

Hamlin is one of few drivers whom I hope never wins a championship.

But most important it was a good race with people fighting hard for the lead/ position all day.

There is really only one fight between the bottom five in the chase. Busch locked in, Truex would have to finish last night n the next two races to not make it on points. Brad is locked in unless two drivers other than him and Truex win the next two races.

Expect a great battle among Harvick, Hamlin, Blaney, Elliott and Johnson. As much as I hate to say it, Johnson is the most likely to get in the final four.

Clint Bowyer said it best. Short track racing at Martinsville. Everyone goes home happy or po'd. And racing under the lights was cool, and not talkin' about the weather!

Just wondering....are lots of folks having Earnhardt withdrawals?
Dale Jr. leaving and looking for another Jr. like maybe Bill (E) Jr. as the next hope for Nascar?

I know several Dale Jr fans who are going with Chase Elliott next year.

Personally I was a Dave Blaney fan before he hooked up with Casey Luna, and Ryan is my favorite now.

I've always respected Jr, as a driver and as a man. No he isn't the driver his father was, but by any other yardstick he is a good successful driver. And he is definitely a better man than his father was. Just many of his fans I couldn't stand.

Beautiful sunny 70* day wasted. Should have recorded it. Last 30 minutes was only worth watching.
