I was glad he came back from 24th after getting the speeding penalty.

 

B.S. penalty![:@]
Jr. was right behind him going just as fast, he didnt get penalised!
Dont forget Kurt Busch was a threat to make the chase before NAZICAR threw a series of horse crap pitting penalties at him.
I bet they do the same to Kasey on Sat. night.
Sorry guys, youre not driving the "official car"!

Somehow, Dodge has got to lose it's status as ASSCARS red-headed stepchild, or it will lose more teams to Toyota![]

 

I was hoping Sorenson would make it closer to the line before running empty.
Just close enough to finish well, but far enough away for Kahne to win.

ASSCAR, NAZICAR... LOL
They are getting rediculous with how openly they play favorites to certain drivers.

 

It was nice to see the showing the chargers put on. Not to often will you see three Dodge's lined up 1,2,3 Would have been real sweet if it would have ended that way. Everyone new Kahne was going to be the one to beat. It is hard to out run that charger on them long tracks where he can get out there and drive.

 

Ryan should be in the top 10, but he seems to meet the wall or another car every race or something breaks...
