Agreed, when Stewart went high, Johnson went up to block, Stewart dove down, and it looked to me that Johnson Chopped him pretty good...kudos to Stewart for keeping it straight when it looked as though he was going to be a pinball. He had a great save the day before, almost looked like Big E, back in the Wrangler days...
Personalities aside, Stewart is a great driver as is Gordon...if they weren't you guys wouldn't be bitchin about them...
Sorry, no brand loyalty here..I just admire the talent..

I'm just glad the race season is officially started; can't wait to go to Bristol in a few weeks;
Blocking or no Blocking; chevy push chevy; chevy push ford; ford push chevy doesn't matter;
I do believe the outcome of the race would have been much different had the #18 B Labonte and the #15 M Waltrip not 'blowed' up;
glad no wrecks with injuries occurred.........lets go racing
boogity, boogity, boogity.......oh I can't believe I did that

Tony Stewart is my favorite driver. Yes he is a hothead and does some stupid stuff, but he CAN DRIVE. I also like Robby Gordon.

3 Lap Race :
I've come to the point with the racing that I only now watch about the last 3 or 4 laps . I've found I can live without the other multitude of laps of almost equally matched cars going around in circles to jockey for position to crank it on for the last 1/2 dozen laps .
Great finish though and it looked like the driving told the story for this one . Also nice to see,as someone already mentioned,a race without serious injuries any where .
If I want to see injuries I will start watching NHL Hockey again if they ever come back to the rink .

Well, I'm still not too good with the show tunes; does that take away any of the suspicion?

How do you define 'participating'?

OK, not to make light of a crash or anything... but the wreck involving the Cat car (rookie here, don't know all their names yet!) was spectacular! Barrel rolls and then spinning like a top, that was frickin awesome. Even better, he walked out after it. The joys of modern racing....

I thought it was a pretty good race,,,and I thought K.Busch did quite well up there with all Chevys,,top 5 ,,1 Ford-4 Chevys, and he has matured alot in 2 years, and was in the top 10 almost all day.
Sorry to see Matt and Mikey,have an engine blow, also a couple more let go,,glad no-one got hurt.
