    He was very lucky that Harvick & Hamlin were very forgiving of that slide job he pulled on them! I can almost guarantee that they won't be so forgiving next time!

    Yeah, but he sure did a couple of great slide jobs!!!! Heck, I thought you could only do that on dirt!!!!!!

    Smoke has his old crew chief back in the organization now, might be really tough to stop him this year!!!!

    It'll be... um... "interesting" to see if "Happy" Harvick or Hamlin want to give him a "reminder" of where their front bumpers are... LOL... Oh Yeah, rubbin is racin'! HAH!

    I think it's going to be a very interesting season!!!! The majority of the drivers going fast and up front in the points aren't afraid to trade a bit of paint, aggressive driving sure does make for a better race then the 'fuel mileage' stuff! Next week is Martinsville, that ought to be a really good race if it's anything like the last race there was!!!! Oh yeah, Smoke won that one, too!!!!!!

    I agree, those who can be aggresive and not over-drive the track will certainly make for an exciting race. And I think the cars are usually very even lately so it does make for some real racin' and not just ridin'...

    I think Smoke's thinner waistline is giving that crew a real advantage!

    Luckiest guy? Gotta be Johnson, if the rain cancel hadn't happened he'd have been waaaaay down the chart.
    Unluckiest? Probably Gordon, those guys keep finding a way to get hurt each week.....
    Most frustrated? Probably cousin Carl.....looked like they were finally finding the handle when the rains came.

    Wouda, coulda, shoulda.................

    It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.

    Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.

    Then there's Jr and his 3rd place finish and standings. Gordon - sigh. 91 points out of 1st at #25 and almost too deep of a hole to dig out of with the current way of scoring points.
