I agree, that was intentional.

[EasyEd]

Hey All,

I didn't see it so I'll look it up later. My question is was Ambrose holding Kevin up? Did Ambrose respectfully give a better driver room? Especially early in the race. If not I bet he got dumped. I'll have to find a replay.

Hey All,

Great win for Brian!! I've liked him since day 1.

Did anyone hear when Kyle said that the five times this season that the #48 car went through NASCAR inspections, each of the 5 times, NASCAR found something not right.....

Interesting....

And I know Joey was upset - but his anger almost seriously injured one of his crew!

[stansdds]

Harvick did put Ambrose into the wall, no doubt about it in my mind. Ambrose had been racing Harvick really hard and rough and when Harvick saw the opportunity, he spun Ambrose.

Joey needs to get his emotions under control before he does kill someone.

As for the 48 team, maybe Jimmie's age is becoming a factor in how he drives (seems to happen to all drivers) and Chad is pushing every envelope with the car in an attempt to compensate?

[Daveroo]

what was Kyle upset about,,,,IF Matt touched Kurt is was very slight,,,to me..kurt got loose UNDER Ryan and got into ryan..i did not see ryan do anything wrong myself.....so why this rant???




Kyle Busch calls Newman 'idiot': #78-Kurt Busch kept his cool after being involved in a wreck with Ryan Newman that ended his chances of winning Sunday's Sprint Cup race at New Hampshire, but his younger brother didn't. #18-Kyle Busch took several shots at Newman, who earlier in the week learned this would be his last season with Stewart-Haas Racing. "I really hate it that Kurt got tore up and I felt like he had the best car here today," Kyle said to ESPN of his brother, who led a race-high 102 laps. "He was definitely good. He could definitely roll the long runs for sure and I was proud of those guys, but man just stupidity. I mean Ryan Newman is the biggest stupid idiot out here. And he's a big ogre and he can do whatever he wants because he can probably kick anybody's butt, so no sense in getting into a fight with him. But glad he is out of a job." The incident occurred on lap 226 of 302. It turned a potential win into a 31st-place finish that dropped Kurt from ninth to 14th in the standings. Kurt didn't mention Newman after the incident, but said he got hit from behind. The driver behind him was #20-Matt Kenseth. Newman, who finished 39, said Kurt took himself out. "I guess [Kenseth] had a little influence on it," Newman said. "We were kind of in a bad spot having a little bit older tires. ... Just a lot of disrespect from a bunch of guys on restarts. What comes around goes around."(ESPN (http://espn.go.com/racing/nascar/cup/story/_/id/9477989/kyle-busch-calls-ryan-newman-wrecking-brother))(7-15-2013)

Yes.....Kyle did have a sour grapes attitude which IMHO, reigned negatively on Vickers win.......

[EasyEd]

Hey All,

There you have it. No driver with even a touch of brains races hard early in a race using up their own and the other guys equipment. You let them go. Harvick knows that and rightfully dumped him. If Ambrose can't figure this out he will always be nothing but a bush league driver and never a driver of the same talent ability and record of Kevin Harvick.

Don't you worry about Jimmie's age - I think he and Chad took some time off after 5 in a row but I think they are intending to beat the King, Earnhardt Sr and Dale Inman in terms of championships and it is time to go. It is that simple.

I agree. You save the hard and rough racing for the end of the race. Racing hard and rough for positions at the beginning of the race is not wise, you make enemies and you use up your car way too early.
