Poor Dale ran out of gas on the last lap!!!

And Harvick picks up yet another win!!!!! Really strange finish, people out of gas on the back chute of the last lap and those who didn't run out of gas ran them over!!!

Quite the day for wierd engings to races, huh?

Live feed started at 10am here,so I just had to come up to the house for my mid morning shot of coffee... Only saw the first twenty laps or so,,then back to the shop..Had another look at lunch time..Good to see Ambrose up in the top couple,specially after starting in 22nd ..Dunno what happened at the end,cos I couldnt leave the job...Hope I get to see some of the highlites over the next few days..

You don't suppose it was fixed do you? I mean, how can a professional driver brake his wheels loose on the last turn of the race?

Realy don't know.... I've race round and round and the 1320 I don't know anyone that would wreck on purpose and I don't think he did either

Well it was an exciting race anyway, it had me on the edge of my seat!!!

Had nothing to do with anyone spinning their wheels!!! Earnhart just flat ran out of gas and Harvick drove around him!

If Dale would have won, someone would say it was fixed. He doesn't win and someone says it's fixed.

It's a lose/lose situation for him.

You're probably right, Bug. The conspiracy crap just gets to be a little much sometimes... How are you going to "fix" a NASCAR race anyway??? You've got 43 of the most competitive drivers in the world out there who for the most part already have plenty of money.... Winning is everything when you get to this level, especially with the point system this year. Racing is racing, sometimes the results are very unpredictable. That's why they run the race and don't just decide it all on opinion.....

Seems to me all the other guys are talking about the NASCAR race and you are talking about the Indy 500.

The answer is a 20's yr old rookie passing a slower car high about to win slid into the marbles and lost the handle on the car.The drivers are taught to race that race means you have it on the floor all the time.He made a rookie mistake.One that I might add with a car/program that has costs in the millions.With a car in drag racing only at 170's you drive the car way ahead of where you are sort of like a jet pilot going straight.Things happen so fast and turning a car over the 200's it has to be so much worse.
