    Award Needed

    There has to be a new award every week for every race. The "Stupid Move Of The Race" award. Or, maybe after David Letterman, "Stupid Tricks."

    My nomination for today's race, Dale Earnhardt Jr. for his bad move up into Vickers.

    I nominate Vickers for shoving Dale below the line.

    I nominate NASCAR for having the "Lucky Dog" in the first place.

    Vickers was hit from BEHIND!

    because Jr. didn't check up...

    Vickers did not shove Dale below the yellow lines. Vickers was always in front of Dale. Now, you may say that Vickers led Dale below the line. But, Dale still made the choice to go down there.

    #88 should indeed be awarded--for bringing some interest to the race.

    Any press is good press, you'll recall.

    Tony Stewart probably sold some Goodyears, too.

    Likewise I have no sympathy for Vickers.

    I vote Nascar and/or Fox, for insisting on such a late start time for the race, chance of rain or not.

    I long for the days when Nascar races started at noon or one; but those days are apparently long gone.

    Aw, what's one more?

    I'll nominate Dale Jr. for not admitting that it was his own fault that he missed his pit box. So what if it was only "one inch?" C'mon, son. You're better than that.

    Wanna know what's wrong with NASCAR? They've gone from Junior Johnson to Jimmie Johnson.

    Wanna know what's wrong with IndyCar? It's gone from dirt ovals to street races.

    My thread was posted right after the race. The only other thread was the race thread. So, find fault with the others if they are starting a similar threads.
