That would've been pretty hard to do coming off that turn. A lot of guys spin
off those turns with no help at all.

Yeah everyone forgets how Labonte charged through 5 cars in 4 laps,he was
driving like a madman!He ran into #3 twice,hey no problem its racing.The last
turn though and everyone fails to notice he ran in too hard shot up the track
and slowed a touch in the apex of the corner.Dale of course did touch him but it
wasn't as bad as the radio made it sound.I've been watching racing for years and
I've seen alot worse than that.These guys act like he dented in the back of the
car!Only bad thing is my dads a Labonte fan so he had hard feelings towards
me:)Oh well.

OH Please...this type of thing is an extreem result of normal racing
behavior.  There was hundreds of bumps, pushes and rubs in that race.  And a
few resulted in spins.  IMHO, this is a good example of the chief
differences between NASCAR type racing and open wheel type racing,
CART/IRL/F1 racing doesn't have bumping, rubbing, bump-drafting, "Full
contact racing".  It happens all day in NASCAR and a few times it results in
spins and wrecks.  Contact with another car in NASCAR is a technique, a
skill, and for DE, an art form.  Sure, it's a shame that Terry got bent up,
but IMHO, he is too conservative, and the last few laps with the #3 in your
mirror is no time to be conservative.  I'm sure DE didn't mean to wreck him,
but I'm sure DE ment to get him outta the way!  This is why I LOVE NASCAR
racing.  It's why I LOVE Dale Earnhardt, he is not afraid to do all it takes
to win when he is in a position to win.  And next week, Terry will probably
rub DE at Darlington.

That also surprised me.  As quickly as Terry went by, DE shouldn't have been
able to get CLOSE enough to spin him...

NaScArNuT if anything needs to be done Terry needs to do it not NASCAR !

Id love to see someone smack Earnhardt in the rear at Darlington while hes in
the lead on the last lap!!  Preferrably Terry so he gets even but i really dont
care who it is...just as long as Earnhardt gets a taste of his own medicine.

DE had no problem getting close enough to Terry to spin him. If you watch
the video you'll see Earnhardt's front end pushing up as he gets into
Terry's rear. It's obvious DE kept his foot in it far longer than would have
been prudent had Labonte not been there. And don't forget the post race
interview with Earnhardt where he admitted that he wanted to tap Labontes
car "just to rattle him a little" (read: I hit him on purpose)

 I have a terrible memory. In fact my memory's so bad I can't remember how
long it's been since I've forgotten anything.

Well, according to Earnhardt fans, Jeff Gordon made him crash at Daytona in
1997.  So, he's gotten his own share of hits.

I thought that Earnhardt himself said in a post race interview that it was
totally his fault that he crashed.  He let his car drift out and get into
Gordon coming out of turn 2 he said.

Yes, I know that, but Earnhardt fans at the time said it was Gordon's fault.

People, People:

Come on..it was one of those racing deals.
Get a grip on it. They all want to win and have most probably done similar. Did
you not see Spencer remind Rudd of this in the
post race interview??

DE didnt try to wreck Terry on purpose.
If you were around years ago, you would remember the Allisons, Jr., Cale,
Buddy,Pearson and Petty racing real hard at one time or another. Turn your
little clocks back--this is how it was and will be.

For you "revisionists" who want to turn everything back--to the last lap,
re-write the history books or whatever, cowboy up--its life. History and racing
happens because
it happened when it did--not because we want things "to be right." We cannot
right every wrong or vice versa.

If you were not around during the past(old) NASCAR years, grab a tape or book
and
study it. Educate yourselves. These hard racing deals are not new--just
exciting!!!

Dale pretty much admitted trying to "rattle" Labonte by running into him.
Such tactics have a long history in NASCAR and Dale has built his
"Intimidator" reputation by driving in this style.

Over the past couple of years we have seen NASCAR trying to clean up the
rough and tumble image and go more "corprate".

The question NASCAR must answer is whether or not this is good for the image
they are trying to market to their fans.  Based on the ESPN survey I saw on
the website and the thunderous booing from the stands, I would say it is not
a good thing for NASCAR.

What can they do about it?  Not much, IMHO.

There is a history of letting race results stand for much worse infractions
than we saw last night.  Trick engine parts, out of spec spoilers and the
like.  I can't remember the last time somebody lost a race win for a rules
violation.  Anybody?
